Hey everybody! My name is Michelle and I have a beautiful black cat, Van Gogh, or as she is at times known around our house, Spring. Big difference I know, but my 5 year old was for some reason fixed on the name "Spring" when we got her. Van Gogh is a very special kitty to us, I worked at a veterinarian's office a couple of years ago and one morning a man brought her into the clinic. He said he was a construction worker and had found her under a house he was working on, she was skin and bones, severely dehydrated, had a half an ear missing, and was so sick she could hardly move. We nursed her back to health until she was well. She was a "live in" resident at the clinic for the next few months. I decided she was extremely too affectionate to be kept in a kennel all the time, she had been tortured before and deserved better. She is now a fat house cat that loves attention, she is slightly brain damaged due to her sad ordeal but she is very sweet and quite special! She can at times have a testy attitude with the dog, but of course I think we all can with the men!
We are both very glad to be members of TCS, hope to see you around!

Welcome Van Gogh/Spring


to TheCatSite and bless your meowmy for rescuing and loving you -- she's right, you ARE very special and you deserve nothing but love forever!
We are all rescues, too, indoors-only and spayed/neutered of course, with Nicolas, the eldest, being almost 17 years young, and Baby Suha being the youngest at just 2 and a bit.
Our meowmy has lived with, loved, rescued, and advoCATed for cats all her life, and most of us came from her old neighborhood, where people just didn't care about spay/neuter.
No more street life for us -- it's la dolce vita all the way!
And we know just what you mean about the male humans -- gotta remind 'em from time to time just how very special we are!

Wow! Sounds like you all have big loving families too! I can't help but take the strays, they are usually the most unique. I promise everyone I will post pictures I just have to figure out how to do it, I'm still VERY new to TCS, but I'm already addicted!
