Amazing the difference 1 year can make in their lives, isn't it? 
One year ago on December 6th, I took pity upon a poor, sad, pathetic, & over-looked half-grown kitten @ the shelter - I took her home to foster. Little did I know just how special that little girl would turn out to be. Get out the Kleenex if you read her "home-coming" thread.
She always has & always will hold a piece of my heart. She's not a foster anymore, as she wasn't getting adopted - I thought it was likely best for her to just stay here furr-ever, I have no faith in people to provide her w/ the medical care she needs (regular bloodwork, meds 2x/day for life, etc). That & she has some behavioral issues.....she is a very slow learner & seemingly doesn't have the capacity to fear. The switches in her head never got wired right.
She's learned so much, come so far - she can jump, she learned she doesn't have to walk in tiny circles to get anywhere, she no longer spins when she feels strong emotions. She's learned to jump a baby gate, climb on the bed/couch. She even learned how to get up into the cat tree, AND back down!
She seems to lack common sense & the capacity to fear - but man does she love everyone & anyone. 
She can climb the stairs, chase toys, & chase moving toys. She still cannot walk on linoleum worth a hoot, is very un-coordinated, & is still quite skinny - but we take what we can get.
Lola as a baby @ the shelter -
Lola then, when she came "home" -
As she settles in -
As she relaxes, in a very literal sense! -
Lola now -
That's my long winded way of saying "Happy Anniversary" Lola Foofy Tail - love you baby girl!
