TALES

Imagine your pet arriving with the help of Divine intervention!  A few hours after Sandra turned off her computer and printer for the evening...the "off printer" unexplainably sprang to life. Bewildered, she approached it watching as a flier from a Persian Cat Rescue group printed out.  They were seeking a home for a Silver Persian. 

Because the unexpected flier already had a miracle already attached to it, Sandra thought that Mary Ellen "Angel Scribe" (best-selling author of two Miracle books and guardian of four Silver Persians) had sent it to her. Sandra looked at the flier and thought, "I have six Persians, and certainly don't need another one!"

"No sooner had I returned to bed, when the printer began printing again! Another plea for a second Persian printed out.   This time, it was for a 9-year-old, flame point Himalayan, Sammy, who needed a forever home.  I glanced at his story and ...another flier on Sammy popped out of my printer!

The flier read,"....a beautiful flame point Himalayan with ice blue eyes and the daintiest meow you've ever heard. Sam isn't shy and thrives on attention and head scratches. He is a great lap cat and companion and does well with other cats...."

Considering the mysterious way I received notice of Sammy's availability, I ignored the late hour and phoned the Pet Rescue.

Unexpectedly, they said 'Sorry. Sammy was already adopted.'"

Sandra continued, "If you think this story sounds crazy so far--wait for the next part!"  I can hear Angels and my Guardian Angel said,  "The cat has not been adopted.  It is very ill and it's not going to make it. Call them again."

So I called the Persian Rescue back and asked them to double-check on the cat's availability.

'That cat is not in the system anymore,' they responded. 'It was in such poor shape.' 'Oh, the poor cat must have died I thought,' but a few brief minutes later, she called back, 'Yes, we still have him. But, there is a long process to go through for adopting one of our cats.  First, you have to fill out an application.'

Since my 'turned off' printer was working so well, I asked her to e-mail the form.  But, my computer was now having "problems" and the information would not print. So, instead, she faxed the application form.

I filled in the form, while the woman phoned my cats' veterinarian to confirm that I could take care of Sammy's special medical needs.  She phoned back laughing, 'Your vet said, "My staff agrees, if we can come back as a cat...we all want to go live at Sandra's home.' That sealed the deal on Sammy's adoption. It was the quickest adoption in their history.

You see, I instinctively KNEW that Sammy was mine, and he would fit into our cat household beautifully.  Nothing was going to stop me from getting "my cat!"

My male Himalayan Persian, Polo, is a therapy cat. We drive everywhere together.  He sits proudly next to me, harnessed in his safe Snoozer pet booster seat and loves to visit "his" clients. (If it is too hot to travel, he stays home.) www.snoozerpetproducts.com

Polo loves car adventures, so I put him in his little seat for the hour drive to get his new brother.

The minute I saw Sammy, I fell in love with him.  Yes, he was in very bad shape.  He was a shaved, homely, bruised cat with visible open sores, but his spirit was lovable.  Whatever abuse he had been tormented with must have been hellacious.

"Oh, don't worry," I said, "Polo will explain everything to Sammy to make him comfortable."

For those who have brought home an adult cat and introduced it to your other kitties, you know how rare a scenario this is!

On the long drive home, Sandra relayed, "Sammy slept with his little paws over the booster seat.  So did Polo. Each had fallen asleep gazing at the other."

And you might ask "What is Sammy's favorite thing to do?"  He loves car rides with his look alike buddy Polo of course!
