Phortunate Phoenix

Greetings, Phoenix, a.k.a. "Feenster," the "boy" the "Mattawa boy"! Happy Cat of the Day to you!

What a beautiful boy you are, Phoenix, what an AMAZING, life affirming (not to mention nail biter of a homecoming story) is yours, Phoenix! I was on the edge of my seat, wondering just how you were extricated from that fire ring. But alas, success!

We spent the next few minutes unsuccessfully trying various techniques to extract the kitten"s head from the fire ring - including smearing it"s head with butter to "ease" it out. Finally, we realized that if we pinned the ears back and twisted the head in just a certain way we might be able to get it unstuck. And it worked!

Talk about the proverbial Phoenix rising from the ashes!!! We are SO thankful to your mommy and daddy for their heroics, their never relenting efforts to free you from that fire ring, mostly certainly saving you from death that stormy night!

There is no question that if we had not found and extracted this young animal it would have perished overnight from exposure or predation by other animals in the park.

And of course your mom and dad were unable to surrender you! The bond you and they forged that fateful night sealed the deal, and the rest is happy history...14 years of shared unconditional love and unwavering devotion! How well your humans' heroics and compassion have been rewarded, having been blessed with a furkid, a loving companion, a furry soul mate as special as you!

Endless thanks to your daddy for sharing your heartwarming story of rescue with us, along with all of those heart-melting photos! Meeting you and your family has been the perfect grace note to my long and tiring day! I hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration, beautiful boy, being loved and pampered to pieces, treated to all your BIG heart desires and more! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Phoenix, our very special and most deserving Catof the Day, EVERY day! Love to all of your kitty siblings, too!

LOVE this one!

Dear Phoenix, what a handsome black and white shorthair boy you are. You are so soft looking and you have the sweetest face with those green eyes and that goatee. I especially love your stubby tail.
You are truly a lucky kitty. Not only were you rescued from certain death that fateful night, at the same time, you also found your forever family.
And now it has been 14 years, and you are still going strong, enjoying life to the fullest.
Phoenix, you are special in every way, and I wish you and your family a great day full of celebration, and many more happy and healthy years together.
