Congratulations to Karen Paton who won a free outdoor shelter for their colony cats and a bottle of Feral Flower Essence from FixNation board member Jackson Galaxy’s Spirit Essences line through FixNation’s National Feral Cat Day story competition!
Over twenty years ago my mother began her dedication to loving and caring for her feral colony outside her home. My mother will turn 91 years old this April and has advanced dementia. She however reminds me when it is time to feed her fur babies outside. I believe she knows each one of them and sits in her chair and waits for them to come up the wheelchair ramp to greet her. The joy on her face brings much joy to me. These feral angels make her smile and say a few words to them. I often think we as people bring so much to them…..yet we must remember what they bring to us so lovingly and unselfishly. For 71 years I have looked into my mother’s eyes….the same eyes that now look at these beautiful creatures that bring her meaning and love. I am so thankful for their spirits and they touch my heart so deeply as well.
