Jake
Jake came into my life October of 2004. Our pitbull Turbo
had passed away in August and we were still very much
mourning him. A client that had been going to Tommy’s job at
the time, a vet clinic where he worked as a tech, on the
east side, had found Jake in the street a year earlier and
she was keeping him in her home, but in a cage because he
was FIV+ and she had a few cats of her own in the house. One
day in Oct. Tommy came to me and asked me if I would mind
him bringing this cat home and immediately I said of course
not!! So we picked up Jake from Tommy’s job and
brought him home. He had a URI at this time and was on
antibiotics. Tommy thought that Jake might be dying, and he
wanted him to be able to live out his life in some ones home
being loved and not in a cage.
We had him for 4 years, and he was such an amazing and
wonderful cat. He had 2 friends in the course of life with
us, Simone, who was a rescue from Hurricane Katrina in 2005
(her bio can be found in the Pet Memorial), and Matthew, who
is still in our home. Jake and i were really bonded and it
broke my heart to lose him, he passed away in December 2008,
2 weeks before Christmas.
