Pictured here is Blizz. He was a foster that came in weighing no more than 5 pounds. he was found emaciated on a loading dock, all his bones stuck out. He was also terribly dehydrated. I picked him up from the vet after he had some blood work done, and he promptly puked 6 times over the next two hours. He was not a happy cat.
This cat fought like crazy to get better. He battled with himself to eat and drink, even though he still sometimes puked. He tried very hard to always hit the litterbox, even though he had terrible diarrhea. I could see the battle of will in his eyes. He just wanted to give up, but then his light would change and I could see a determination in him to not give up. He wanted love, hugging, cuddling and pets constantly and I did that for him. That was what he needed to survive. This is one of the most amazing cats I have ever met, and I am so proud of him. I will never forget him. On March 16th, 2007, he went to his new forever home with the perfect new mom. I am grateful he came into my life for such a short time, and taught me so much about living and fighting.
