I have a small farm in Northwest Illnois. We have a bit of everything, and a small herd of farm cats. Sadly over the years, with shelters filled all around, so many have been dropped off left to fend for themselves. Last June, my husband and I were outside and we heard a car stopped in front of our house. Thinking nothing of it since many people like to stop and look at the horses, we kept working. Then our cats were freaking out at something in the tree. There was this tiny, terrified kitten. We brought her in the house and she was starved, ate great and went straight to the litter box. So we figured this was someones pet that they decided they couldn't kept. She was so sweet! After a couple of hours I could tell she was actually quite sick. So I took her to the vet and after days of treatment she was doing great and quickly became the house favorite. We named her Pixel because of her unique coloration being all little spots of color. She has grown into the sweetest, most loving pet.
I am sharing this story because I was given the special opportunity to help support the upcoming Meows and Minis show, which is a benefit for a local no kill shelter. Pixel so easily could have ended up fox or coyote food, hit by a car, or die of starvation and illness. We love her in our family, but too often stories like her's do NOT have happy endings. This medallion will be up for auction on the Meows and Minis website, along with another donation I am doing, so please, please donate to worthy cause.
