Emma, the Cat of the Day
Name: Emma
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Skowhegan, Maine, USA
 
   Emma's servants are Charity and Toby a.k.a. Mumma and Daddy. Emma is special because she lives on borrowed time. Found, near death, in a co-workers barn at just weeks old; no doubt cast out from the litter, Emma's battle began. She maintained survival by eating grain off the ground in the barn. She was scooped up and brought into a loving home where she was nurtured back to health. At the time she was discovered, Emma was suffering from conjunctivitis, upper respiratory issues and she was severely impacted. My co-worker (angel and savior) Mary, as well as her daughter Caitlin, worked day and night with Emma and at times felt it may have been a lost cause. They didn't give up on that little kitten and soon she was eating, drinking, playing and washing herself for the first time.

    I thank Mary and her daughter every time Emma and I cuddle, every time she does something cute to grab attention, every day. She loves to play hide and seek, loves to catch her little frisbee, sit atop our hutch (as seen in this picture), and never passes up an opportunity to "flop" down on the floor, stretch out and tell you how hectic her day was. "Now that you're home, you can cater to me!" And that's what we do! She's our angel, our miracle, our beloved Emma.

   Special thank you to Mary and Caitlin!
