A Birthday Wish!

My youngest daughter wanted a cat for her 5th birthday. I had mentioned this to someone who said "Hey I have one that I will give you". I seen this cute little black and white kitty and took her home right away. My daughter Kamryn named her Oreo.

The next day I took Oreo to be groomed. The groomer called me and said she was flea infested, anemic and was lethargic and not breathing well. I took Oreo to the vet and she was diagnosed with an abnormal shaped rib cage. Due to the shape it was pressing on her lungs and whenever she became excited she would be unable to breath. We were saddened by all of this. My vet said otherwise she was healthy. I couldn't see any reason not to give her a home, but she didn't need a hyper 5 year old thats for sure.

My vet took her home, where she takes other animals with conditions that need a quiet atmosphere. Now I had to find another kitty for my little girl. I went out to the Humane Society. And thats where we fell in love with Little Miss Kitty. We picked her for her eyes, and that she reminded us of Oreo. She is an indoor cat, and the best cat you could ask for. She loves to play, take baths, and on occasion eat a strawberry pop tart..lol.

This picture I am submitting is her with her 2 owners, Kennedy and Kamryn. We miss Oreo, but wouldn't trade this little kitty for nothing!
