Little Sparky Clark

Wow, what a joy in this cat, being a street cat and two bee bee’s in her hide I took her on. We took her to a vet in 1995 and was a female that was very malnourished and I was thinking that she was a teenage cat with a troubled life. She has been spayed and the Vet estimated her to be 3 to 5 years old at the time.

She made it through her probation with my wife meaning no furniture tear up & crapping in the unknown zone of our house. In my remodeling of our home she would join me in her ladder climbing skills & assuring me that I am doing it right with always a affection head butt and noise. We spoiled her with toys, love & my Dad’s affection & couch naps with her sleeping on his chest after he was diagnose with pancreatic cancer. Dads been gone for two years now.

Today is a very hard day for me for I have to put little spark down, she caught FIV and was told this after her second bought of kidney failure this summer of 2007.She was a outside inside cat and would sleep with us in the evenings always encourage her nightly head message. I have been spending time reading up on FIV She has fought hard with this, last week she had some fluids injected & B-12 shot with her first cortozone shot. By wed she went down hill. No food or water intake, so its two days before Christmas and what a gift to us for 12 years. Thank You God.

    our “baby” oscar was just 5 months old when we had to let him go. We already have a 12 year old cat and thought is was time to have a little one again in the house so we got him from the cat rescue. At nearly 5 months old we noticed he had a [more..]

    I got Luna-kitty from the humane society and they informed me at the time that he was FIV+. The original owner abandoned him and they found him feral- they assume he contracted while outside, probably from a fight. [more..]
