   I adopted Teo from the SPCA the weekend of Mother's Day 2000, I was so excited, I always wanted a cat so I figured it was time. I officially became a mother that weekend. I had Teo for about two weeks when he started to get sick, and was at the vet three times within a week with him. Teo was on medication, but he stopped eating and he was always cuddling up on me. He was so sick it was sad, the vet told me she could put him in the hospital but what he really needed most right now was lots of love and attention, so if I could learn to feed him and give him water he would be best at home where he was loved and would get my full attention. It was hard to do it alone so my sister, her friend and daughter moved in for a week to help me save him. The vet showed us how to feed Teo, so my sister and I did it. One would hold him, and the other would put can food on her finger and feed him. As for the water, we took a cotton ball and wet it with cold water to make him drink. It was the only way to make sure he would drink and not choke on the water. He was cuddled up to us all the time, and we did it we saved him and for that I am so grateful.

    Teo has brought me joy happiness and help me through a lot in the past years and he is helping me right now with the death of my mother. I tell you Teo has been a Godsend to me, when I cry he walks over and brushes his body against my face to wipe my tears. He cuddles up to me constantly, my friends cannot believe the friendship and understanding me and Teo have and share. He is always there for me and I am always there for him. I give a special thanks to my friend Lynn for forcing me to go to the SPCA that day I will always be grateful to her for that.
