Hi sweetie Shelby! Happy Cat of the Day!

What a beautiful Silver Tabby girl you are, sweetheart! Your photos have me in total swoon mode! But your heartwarming rags to riches story brought happy tears to my eyes! You and your sibings sure had a sad start at life, having lost your fur mom, left to fend for yourselves in that stairwell! But thankfully, it wouldn't be long before your hero rescuers would find you and the rest is happy history!

We are so grateful to your mom, Susan, your daddy and skin sister, for doing all that was necessary during those early, tenuous days ('round the clock bottle feeding!) to assure you would all grow up to be happy, healthy boys and girls! And how well you repaid the kindness and compassion shown you, Shelby, bringing so much comfort and healing to your mommy Susan after the loss of her beloved kitty Max, and her sister! Sounds as though you ended up rescuing your mommy every bit as much as she did you!

How blessed your family is, Shelby, having a best friend and loving companion as devoted and loving as you, a furkid as special as you in their lives! You may have been an unexpected addition to the family, but there's no doubt it was destined to be! You truly are a treasure, Shelby, just as special as can be, and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! Meeting you tonight, reading your heartwarming rags to riches story and seeing all of your heart-melting photos, has been a real treat! I hope you're enjoying a very special Cat of the Day celebration...receiving countless chin skritches and belly rubs, cuddling with your mommy, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, snuggles and smooches to you, precious Shelby, our very special and most deserving Cat of the Day, EVERY day!

SO adorable!!!
