    Grayson

    We found Grayson (or he found us) one very chilly morning as a tiny baby. He was infested with fleas & covered with blood. We found out he was anaemic, hypoglycaemic, & needed a blood transfusion. We rushed him to the animal emergency room while he was having seizures & he almost died quite a few times. They said he had a very small chance to live & would always have a neurological brain disorder. I’m so happy to say that after a week in the hospital, & over a year now at home with us, he is the happiest, healthiest kitten ever. You would never, ever know he is a bit of a “special needs” kitty!

    Way to go on your pounce! What a great kitty to pounce on too – he is a handsome fellow with a heart wrenching story. A great way to start my day!

    Thanks! For some reason I didn’t have to sign in twice today so I made it through! By the way, Grayson is the name of my friend’s son and we just call him “G” or “G-baby” for short. I was thinking of that when I first saw this adorable picture!

    Awwww, Grayson. What a sweetheart. You’re very special kitty parents to have invested such love and emotion into this dollbaby.

    May he prove those vets wrong for many happy and healthy years. (smooch to the little nose and white toesies)

    Grayson is so handsome! You would never know by looking at him that he had such a horrible start in life. I am so glad there are kind folks like you willing to take in a stray & pay for vet visits and make a long-term commitment to one of God’s “special” creatures! May you & your household be richly blessed.

    wow, kudos to you! You are very special, not many people would fight so hard to save a stray kitten. And Grayson’s just as precious as can be – many, many happy purrs and headbonks to you and this sweet little grey guy :-D

    God bless those people who adopt “special needs” children, kitties, dogs, whoever. They are all special in God’s eyes, because remember His eye is on the sparrow.

    May Grayson and his family have a long and happy life.

    Remember to spay & neuter!

    Good for you for saving this little guy and letting him show you how much love he had to give a world that was ready to give up on him.
    May you all live a long loving life together.

    I was moved, sincerely, to post on this lovely little guy. He does look so content and happy! It is so heartwarming when a rescue turns out so well. Although I have five cats and try so hard not to have favorites, my rescue kitty is very special to me, and when we cuddle, sometimes I think of what his life would have been had I not found him. It makes me soooo grateful that fate worked out our meeting. Take little Grayson into your arms and be grateful for him, as he is for you!

    Bless you for not giving up on him! Our Ozzy was brain-damaged also, the breeder was going to euthanize him until we took him in—he was the most loving cat we ever had. He lived 12 wonderful years and we miss him teriibly.

    Little Grayson must have known he’d be rescued if he went to your house. Thank you so much for loving this gray and white puff ball and helping him get better. He knows he owes you his life and will repay you many times over with love and affection. Thank you.

    I’ve adopted abandoned foster kitties. They seem very happy living me and spoiled rotten.
