today is your gotcha & birthday day! and I want to make it very special for you - what a year it has been for both of us!

I remember vividly when I first found you on raining christmas eve on way to my work, wandering lost on street and could have been hit by me but I braked for you. I hopped out, ran to you, you poor girl ran up wobbly to me half way with a really tighten rubber collar, red eyes bobbing out and wheezing. instead of spending a minute thinking how could some prankster did that to you, I grabbed you into my car and luckily had a scissor in my glovebox, cut it off - about an inch of it with the strap part grew into your backskin. :( before I rushed you to vet's office as I was on my way there and before I knew it, you were making happy feet and that broke my heart. I talked mothersly and finally took you hospital, we did everything we could. we found you with stomach full of conjunctivitis and multi-terrible fatal bacterias, and put you on antibiotic-IV for two days and continued the pills for another two weeks. you had a bunch, bunch of flea circuses going on too but got them little all these black suckers off overnight! yeeaaa!

here were you, your very first night at home..

you were an very angry & hard cat to deal with, you now have made our ark the best.

with knowing your stomach already damaged, which we will have to worry for the rest of our life and with eight sneezing cats I had, I still hoped and prayed I will be able to keep you, the shinning star I saw running helplessly across the street... yet by the law here, I had to, sadly, post up flyers, finding your owners and called a few buildings around the area where I found you... by two weeks later, (which is today one year ago), 'law has expired' as two weeks have passed by - nobody called me!

of course, I ran up and brough you with me to my work, announced my co-workers that you're officially mine, my little sweet dear, dearest precious - made an appointment to deworm, vacc and spay you. they could do all of them on the same day. ah, just after we put you under, shaved your tummy, a vet noticed a tiny-tinest wiggly-bump and found three...four...five fetuses. :( everyone was looking at me for my decision, I pulled my mask down and confirmed them with my expression that I had no way to kill them too. we couldn't do anything at that time yet and let you go, I took you home with me after work.

here on february 16th, 2005 - you gave a birth to five little ones! (one little runt girl died ten days later)..

then in september, all of sudden you were going downhill with CRF (chronic renal failure) and were very ill for months (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=88517&perpage=30&pagenumber=1). . .

..where I thought I would have lost you, my heart was heavy at entire of time, I couldn't eat or sleep well. you sat there all alone in the dark corner, waiting for me to come and cuddle up with you at every cold nights, not wanting my comfort hands or even eat your favorite dishes. just writing this have already brough me to tears..

amazingly, you, my brave little star have survived through!! unbelievable.. I was in hospital most of the time and you had to go through a lot yourself! with all of help from strangers. this (and tons, tons of prayers) just is a miracle for us, definitely.

the wild boys as well as are so happy to have yourself back, purring at your best, even better and became one big family once again!

...here are you three years old today! no one could love you as much as I do for what we have been through, dear. and soooo glad you're still with us today!

and lastly, I want to say.. let us begin a new happy, health, loving year (http://web.icq.com/friendship/swf/0,,16961_rs,00.swf) together! and for many, many more!!

The Happiest of Birthdays to Star,and that is an Amazing Photo of Her Kittens,now all grown up.
Star is such an inspirational Story,of what can happen when a Cat has a True Guardian that fights for her.

Happy Gotchabirthday Star!! You and Gina have had quite the life together. I remember back in September how sick you were, and how much everyone prayed for you. And you had quite the miracle!! Your eyes are so beautiful, and your fur is gorgous. You are lucky to have your mamma and she's lucky to have you!! :D

Gina, I don't know when I have read anything so touching as your wonderful tribute to your lovely Star. I feel like the Lord threw her in your path that day because He knew you were the one to love and care for her like she needed.... and she indeed, needed someone so very special to spend her life with. (I have always felt He sends them to US, to the ones He wants to have them to fullfill a need or to teach us a lesson we need to learn.) She is where she belongs and that is with you, where she was created to belong.

Happy Gotcha Day Pretty Star!

(I love the picture of her with her "Littlesteps"! That is to cute for words!!)

What an awesome story. Happygotchabirthday Star! Gina I have always in the back of my mind thought when I hear of these amazing stories that cats like Star are sent to us for a reason. She knew you would be there that day to help her through. She was thinking that there has got to be someone out there who will help me and that happen to be you. That story is just toooooo Sweet :)
