What a great way to start my day - a coffee as soon as I woke up - Stan had come in and started coffee and the computer! Then as I checked my emails - this Happy Ending!!

hi Yvette,

you have been a place of refuge for many a canine candidate, but that one day early September you made an exception.  I don’t know his whole story but I think he was brought to you by the Houston RCMP, a road find, the only survivor of his family.  All I know is that on 6th September he came to our clinic,  CBC a few days later talked about Pavaratti’s death, mentioning his first name being Luciano.  This is when your little feline rescue became Giano.  What a voice the little one had, a vibrato when he saw food coming to him via syringe, a huge belly after he had eaten and his favorite place to fall asleep being on the sheepskin of the piano bench.

Dr. Martin had given him an eye surgery right away and he has also been on medication for respiratory issues.  He is a very fortunate little kitten to have been found alive and been directed to the places that each helped him in their own way.  Needless to say, fostering Giano turned into adopting him; with 2 other cats in the household and 4 dogs, I was not too keen on offering a permanent home, but he just fit in so well.  Despite his respiratory condition, he is one confident, assertive, energetic kitten.  He trains his muscles by hanging off the springs of an old oak chair and then pulling himself up, he has also tried climbing the curly fur of my 13-year old terrier-poodle senior, but that was not appreciated.

Just to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making an exception and taking in Giano.  Attaching a picture of him putting my largest dog in place, Pablo is probably more than 85 lbs., nonetheless gentle as a giant he is the one that Giano goes to mostly.

Now off to work with the dogs! It is time to put some of them up on petfinder to find their own families. I will update with pictures shortly.
