On July 4 of this year, our 16-year-old black Siamese, Rocket, went to kitty heaven. It really hurt my hubby Ricky and me a great deal.
The month before this happened, we had started volunteering at a no-kill shelter called CATS Bridge to Rescue. After Rocket passed, Ricky and I thought volunteering would be a good form of therapy for us. While I was there, several of the cats became friendly with me. One of them was a sick little Russian Blue girl named Isabella.
Isabella was congested and had gunk in her eyes. For more than a week, I took care of her and a few other sick kitties while continuing to volunteer. All the while, I prayed for God to show me which of these special little beings to adopt.
During this time, Isabella and three other cats would follow me around. But Isabella would not only follow me. She would literally jump into my arms whenever she saw me and insist on cuddling with me.
She was always there to greet me and get her daily cuddles. All the while, my heart was beginning to heal from the loss of Rocket.
Slowly but surely, over the course of a month, I could sense that God was directing me to this special little kitty. After much prayer and discussion, Ricky and I finally adopted her.
When we got her home, she immediately acted like she owned the place and spent nearly all night next to us. God truly used her to heal our hearts, and I am forever grateful for this.
She has “Daddy Ricky” wrapped around her little paw. She not only owns our apartment, but also our hearts, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
