Hi Capella! Happy Cat of the Day to you, sweetheart! How proud your mommy must be, laying claim to two Cat of the Day alum, rescues from the same shelter, at that! How wonderful it is to read of the very special bond you share not only with your humans, but with brother Sterling as well! It truly was a case of love at first sight for your mommy and for Sterling!And perhaps we can attribute the very special bond you and Sterling share to the fact that you both were rescued from the same shelter, having shared with each other your experiences there, in kitty speak!
And I couldn't help but get a bit teary, reading of how you came to be named! How fitting a name it is, for your bright inner light truly rivals those of the most brilliant celestial bodies!
What a beautiful ebony boy you are, Capella, what a heartwarming, inspirational, rags to riches rescue story is yours! You certainly had a sad, sad start at life, Capella. No kitty should ever be subjected to the horrific conditions you found yourself living in. But thanks to your indomitable spirit, your courage and will to survive, somehow you managed to hold on until your rescuers, the great folks at Mid Hudson Animal Aid, could find their way to you! Great thanks to them (that would include your mommy) for their commitment, for providing you with all the care necessary, veterinary and emotional, to set you onto the road to recovery, on the road to your forever home! And oh, how far you've come! As your mommy has said, the hurts you suffered may never be completely undone, but oh, how far you've come, Capella, how you've blossomed under the loving care of Sterling and your humans! Every rescued kitty should be as blessed as you, sweetheart, and I hope after reading your inspirational, life affirming story, others will choose rescue too!. After much deliberation, we decided on Capella. Most of our kitties are named after craters on the moon. Capella is a lovely crater, but also it is the name of the sixth brightest star in the night sky. Since she is the sixth cat to have shared our home, we felt that name was perfect for her.
Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, sweet Princess; cuddling with Sterling, prancing about the house, chowing down on some Asiago laced, freeze dried chicken breast, being spoiled rotten! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you (and Sterling and Tycho too) precious Capella, Cat of the Day EVERY day!

Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
