The Reason We Go On.....

**Reachoutrescue** · 11-02-2006, 12:24 PM

I just wanted to share with you the beauty of life. Through all the stress and agony of this ring worm epidemic...out of the smoke comes a handsome survivor. Icess seems to be completely recovered (knock on wood!). He has been in a cage from the day we brought him her (8/17/06) and today I let him loose. He is in heaven!! He is so happy to be out of that cage and run around. I feel so good knowing he is well. He is scheduled (finally) for altering, shots, and feline tests on the 19th of this month. This is what rescuing is all about. The happy endings.

He still is a little bald on his nose, but that may be permanent...and if so, that is okay.

Here he is ready to lunge at the strap on my camera!!

Hi is beautiful. And sooo happy. Did he get ringworm there on his nose?? If so thats where my little one had it at too. His fur has finally started coming back in so I hope yours will too.He is a very lucky kitty that he got someone who cares so much

Thank you everybody! Your comments about Icess are so nice. He is a very happy kitty. He did have ringworm on his nose, but the hair is slowly coming back. We will see if it completely comes back or not. Thank you again everybody.

Icess sure is adorable and I'm glad that he's doing much better and can now run around the house.

You see Tracy, through trials and tests you've come through winning. Through showing fortitude and strength you've won in the end. And it's all worth it. Just look at Icess, he's so happy and he knows it's because of you you can see it in his face.
You should be most happy with your acheivments. We all are on PT!

Oh Tracy, what a beautiful cat Icess is. I'm so glad that your stress level has gone down. You did a great job my dear.

What a beautiful baby! Working in a shelter I can turly understand your frustration with nasty ringworm. It can be a battle that you feel you will never win. That cutie looks fantastic!!!!
