Our Cat - Zippy

(North Carolina, USA)

I have had Zippy for almost 2 years now.
She came to me from an elderly couple in Michigan in late winter 2007.
They found her wandering in their yard, starved and cold.
She was not more than about 5 months old at the time.

They took her to the vet and got her tested and vaccinated and spayed and tried to keep her as an indoor cat.
This couple has alot of health issues and both are on Oxygen and being a kitten, Zippy would chew through their tubing.

They finally realized they could not keep her although they had grown to love her. A friend of mine in rescue told them about me and how I love Dilute Tortie Cats and so they called me to take her in.

The minute I seen Zippy, I fell in love with her.
She has the cutiest little eyes.
Her eyes are shaped in a way which gives her a "worried look".
Reminds me of myself when I work with cats needing rescue so I immediatly bonded with Zippy.

She is a permanent member of my feline family now and I adore this little energetic girl.
