A friend emailed me this heartbreaking video.
As a nation, we claim to love cats and dogs. Millions of households have pets, and billions of dollars are spent yearly on pet supplies and food. But as a nation, we should take a hard, sobering look at a different annual statistic: the millions of dogs and cats given up to shelters or left to die on the streets. And the numbers tell only half the story.

Landi, before the operation.
Me and my officemates are about to have lunch in an eatery located in an open area at the back of our store. The food looks delicious and as I was about to partake, this kitten came up to us and started meowing. I thought, Why, oh why me? I always seem to be in the same places as these kittens. They seem to know who I am. Am i becoming a kitten magnet? (Don’t get me wrong, I am not really complaining. I’m just being melodramatic. hahaha). I lost my appetite (But It wasn’t so bad really, maybe it was God’s answer to my prayer – that He help me lose weight).

Exactly a week ago, My husband and I picked up a kitten, we named Sola, in an exclusive subdivision. He was so sick and was suffering from a virus called Herpes conjunctivitis that we thought he might not survive.
But Lo and behold, here are pictures of Sola now. He really has an appetite! The swelling on his eyes have subsided. I know now for a fact that he hasn’t gone blind due to the infection coz when i was cleaning his eyes, it opened. Perhaps it was the first time that he had a vision that he became soooo restless and soooo curious of his surroundings (I had difficulty taking pictures of him because I couldn’t get him to stand still). He is now a happy and playful kitten. A far cry from the kitten that we rescued a week ago who was so frail and has difficulty breathing. I hope He grows up to be a healthy big boy.
