Dear Snickers, what a beautiful Calico girl you are. Your coat is gorgeous with all those colors, and so soft looking, and your face is so sweet.
Even though you were returned to the shelter by your first family, it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to you, because that's how you found your true forever family, 17 years ago.
Over the years, you have turned into a role model for everybody, especially since you have been dealing with some health issues. You are still loving life, and especially you and your mom are inseparable.
Snickers, there are not enough words to describe how special you are, and I wish you, your kitty siblings and your parents a great day full of celebration, and many more happy and healthy years together.
