Thank you so much for all the love for Jack!

We've raised $313.00!! so far, to everyone who has donated (both in love and monitarily) Jack sends kitty kisses! And some icing on the cake... Ali got a DD for a piece dedicated to this specific cause. I'm so proud of her and her evolving as an artist. Love you internet mom!
and thanks to ^splintered13 for featuring the beautiful piece.

Here's a thumb so you can enjoy it to!

So what's all the fuss about? read on.....

It's been a long time, huh? glad you made it back over here as I've been gone for a while.

The biggest goings on in my life involve my new career and one little girl cat named Jack. I need to tell you about her. If you have time, please read.

Some of you have heard from other online sites that `allhopeislost and I frequent, about Jack. Jack is a very tiny stray kitty that found its way to us about 2 weeks ago. She is/was the sweetest most docile, lovable 6-8 week old, malnourished, scared and adorable kitten that I’ve seen in a long time.

Being a volunteer for many animal outreach groups and having donated my time to shelters and feral cat rescue programs, I’ve been bitten, hissed at, charged, sprayed and clawed more than my fair share, but this little one lays on her back and lets you have at her belly. Lovely change, I must say.





What’s unique about Jack?
A few things---The first being her hind leg having such a bad break that her bones were so far apart, they couldn’t fuse back together. She walked with a limp and even though she had such a break, she still wanted to play and acted like nothing was wrong except she kept chewing the inside of her leg until it was raw because of the position of her bones.



yeah, it’s THAT bad. So bad, that her leg would fly straight out to the side when she would try to run. Very disturbing to see.

Other unique things….Jack ended up winning the heart of me, Jesse, and my VERY non cat liking mom and dad, actually, my dad hates cats. (and of course my daughter, but that was an easy sell.) My parents moved in with us a bit ago (another long story) so it does matter how they feel about the creatures in this house. I’m allergic to 90% of all cats, but not Jack! We got the blessing to keep lil’ Jack whom I thought was a boy cat, (3rd time I was wrong about this whole gender thing with kitties but we kept the name Jack anyway…. “Jack Danielle” my daughter calls her.) and decided to go find out how we could best treat her leg.
