André
was rescued at birth ten years ago and quickly rose to be the
leader of the pack of nine rescued cats who we currently share our lives
with. His alias is Rowdy Yates, Trail Boss, as he rides the cat herd hard
making sure no one breaks the rules. Most nights he sleeps on my pillow
whistling like a tea kettle and is my personal White Knight. Because of
his outgoing, loving nature, André has been the inspiration for the
rescue and adoption of fourteen cats in our household as well as four others in
Pennsylvania. All of our rescues were feral, abandoned or mistreated and
have come to know complete harmony and unconditional love at our home,
which I lovingly call the House of 9 Tails. They are the joy of my life
and a proud accomplishment in that we were able to provide a loving,
indoor environment for a colony of feral and stray cats in my
neighborhood, and also do our part to prevent feline overpopulation.
Sir André has cardiomyopathy. His heart is too big for his chest,
which is no surprise to us. He is so demonstrative with his love that some
days it just gushes out of him and he just can't get enough kisses. Some
nights he awakens me, nibbling on my lips to get me to kiss him back. We
are doing whatever we can to provide the best medical care for André
and let him know every moment that we have with him how much he means to
us. André is a very bright light in all of our lives and we so depend
on him to get us started in the right direction every morning and settle
us into bed each night. His feisty spirit and dedication to the whole
family, both human and feline, makes him the most noble White Knight of
all. He is truly one of a kind and special beyond words.
