Happy Thanksgiving

This was supposed to be a shot in a cornucopia but you can't find those things anymore, so we had to settle for a basket. So if you celebrate Thanksgiving today, we hope its a good one for you and you get to eat lots! If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving in your part of the world, then we are sending a basket of good wishes your way today. We are so thankful for many things, and something else I am thankful for and it seems to be the common denominator among all of you that stop by, no matter where you are from, is that you are all caring, kind people. I can see that by your comments you leave and your stories you share with me. For that I'd like to say thank you.

What a story! I've been reading it with a lot of smiles and laughing. Very good to put this on the internet.

I am overjoyed to see someone do this. I know everyone is saying this, but you really went above and beyond with this beautiful little girl. My husband and I have five cats that we love so much. I have rescued many cats, in and out of my home, and it is so rewarding. My problem is giving the little darlings up.(Hence five kitties- a possible sixth). The time and money alone most people wouldn't dare do. You and your family and friends are absolutely wonderful people. Have beautiful holidays and Amazing Karma for the future...

Love Miki & Dave

Wow...what a lucky kitty cat to land in such a soft spot (your home) after being tossed around by life!!! Congratulations Zoey!
We have a cat that came to us 12 years ago as a tiny feral kitten. Our vet predicted that he wouldn't make it but he beat the odds and after many late night feedings, he not only survived but thrived! It's amazing what a little KMR and a lot of love can do!
Thanks for this terrific photo gallery and journal...I'll be sure to check back! Many blessings to you and your family and all three of your cat-babies!

This cat's life was pretty bleak early on but little did she know how much better is was going to get, that night you rescued her from the road. Your vet asked: "Are you up to it?" The answer was obviously "Yes!" The proof is seen here. People like you make the world a better place to live in.

I can see why Zoey stole your heart. I adopted a kitty (Buttons) when I was going through some life challenges...then I realized we adopted each other. She waited for me when I came home, followed me around the house, and was snuggled at my hip whenever, wherever I sat. She was a true friend. Good luck to you, Zoey and the other critters. May you enjoy many years together.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Zoey too. It is wonderful to see her doing so well. You are blessed to have her and it is a wonderful thing you did for her. Lovely happy and joyous photo that sums up what the holiday season should be about. The giving part of Thanksgiving.

I have loved reading this story and think Zoey is a very beautiful looking cat. I'm sure Zoey was very Thankful this year for finding such loving and caring people. I have looked forward to the updates and I've been greatful they have all been good. Take care of that little precious ball of fur.

This kitten was very lucky to find you, this is a remarkable gallery. A great story and an excellent series of photographs. GMV

You have no idea what your example has done for me personally. You've demonstrated (what I believe) God wants us to do for the furry ones we love - and even for one another while we're on this Earth. You've made a huge difference in many lives. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving Tammie and Zoey. I too have to be thankful, for it was Zoey who brought a new friend into my life :) Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.

Happy Thanksgiving to your family and all the people who helped you take care of Zoey.
What a pretty little girl with all her markings showing so clearly now.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Tammie and all your four legged ones as well. Zoey seems to like posing... my kitties can't sit still, at least not the way I'd like them to.

Zoey is a perfect example of thankfulness.

Ooooooo ! But you do have a cornucopia... a cornucopia full of love, devotion, friendship, and pure acceptance. Zoey will surely be among the greatest gift of love you'll ever have in your life. All the love you've given her, and will continue to give her... she will return it a thousand times, I am absolutly certain of that. Why do I know that ? Because I too have saved a little kittycat, now name Minou... and beleive me, the love you will get over time will surpass anything you can imagine. God will bless you a thousand time for taking care of one of his defenseless creature, and someday, Zoey will also return everything you've done for her. In the meantime, you'll be so blessed to be able to have unlimited and inconditional love of the purest kind.
If I were to meet you in life, I know that we'd be instantly friends, because you care, you're geart is solid gold... you're a very wonderful person and on behalf of all the unknown Zoeys and Minous everywhere... thank you.
Now for the photo, it's a very beautiful photo... well done.
