Let yourself heal and then find another cat to adopt to give them a loving home. There are so many animals that deserve to have an owner like you. May you see your kitty again one day. 🙏✝️🐈💞⛪️

I don't recognize her now after watching Polly perk up like a young cat. I'm happy to see her have other furry friends to share time with also. Great story GeoBeats. 👏 👏💞💞🐈🐈

    Thank you for adopting her and loving her so much. At the beginning of the pandemic I adopted disabled siblings that had been at the shelter almost 7 years: Spice one eye and wonky rear legs, Sugar blind & mostly deaf. One of the best decisions of my life. They were/are so full of love and joy, can't believe the resilience. Sugar, very fragile, died after only 2 years with me, but she got the best two years of her life. Spice is the best kitty, he's friendly, loving, purrball who loves a lap. Disabled kitties are awesome!

She also loved cheese. We think she was 18 or 19 years old. I had her for 2 years. The house is so quiet without her even though I have another kitty. I miss her so.😢

    What a lovely, lovely story. My last foster cat (Roger) had some similarities to Polly. He was found as a stray in rough shape. The shelter surmised he had never lived indoors. When he came to me he didn't know what to do. He had to learn to use a litter box, to play with toys, to hang out with a human and accept love. Within a few weeks he had made great strides and was such a happy boy! I taught him to sit on a lap (he would just get up and pet my face with his paws and give me love bites on my chin, which didn't hurt because he had about three teeth) and he was blissful once he figured it out. So rewarding. ❤

    So often a “mean cat” needs medical care. Dental problems are the usual culprit, but arthritis is up there. Also, cats who are withdrawn or fight at a shelter often calm down and get happy when they realize they’re in a safe home and won’t have to face that again.
    Please don’t let temporary conditions stop you giving a forever home to someone who’s less likely than other cats to get that chance at life and happiness.
    To the Power of Polly ✊

    I loved her at first site, too. She might not ever have experienced any human bonding until you came along. God will requite your kindness in taking her in, and she will reward you with endless love❤
