Rescued Ralphie!

[kaycountrygal]

Hello Ralphie, it's a pleasure to meet you. What a handsome boy you are! I really like the photo of you with your lion cut; I'm sure it was much more comfy for you in Florida temps. I used to have a long haired cat and he got a short cut for NC summer. I am so glad you two found each other and love each other. I hope you have many more happy healthy years ahead. Congrats on being COTD!

Handsome tabby kitty, Ralphie! Your person kept an eye on you during the project, and when there was some time off, he knew it was time to rescue you! And you sure did, too! You are such a beautiful kitty guy - how wonderful that your person helped you regain your health and become a loved kitty guy! Happy Cat of the Day to wonderful Ralphie!

OMG, what an awesome haircut Ralphie had!! I always wondered what went on at the bottom of long, stripy fur. I got say he looks just as brilliant with the haircut as he does with his natural do! Ralphie is a magnificent cat in every way, so glad his life is the very best now and filled with love! We're just mad about Ralphie here

I second everything this poster said - this is my favorite kind of story on the Cat of the Day website. It really warms my heart as a volunteer for too many year for cat rescues - hoping one day there isn't such an overpopulation that we need so many shelters and rescues... I hope you and your dear Ralphie have many many happy healthy years together. Bless you for rescuing him and giving him the loving home all cats deserve.
