julchen11: (christmas cat)
It was December 10th and it was a day full of snowstorms, cold and darkness.
Wolfgang and I had to go to a customer of his boss to deliver cake, bread and cookies.
So we drove about 1 1/2 hour when we arrived at a big farm with huge stables and big snow mountains.
We delivered the goods to the people who were very grateful and they showed us their animals,
cows, geese, hens and more than 30 cats!
So far so good.

Just before we had to leave the biggest barn I took a look sideward because I thought to hear a little noise.
And there it was - a tiny grey fur bundle, trembling and silently hissing. The eyes were stuck shut, the nose was running and you could see every bone of the little body.
Wolfgang and I looked at each other and I asked the farmer what he's going to do with this sick little creature.
He shook his shoulders and said - "nothing, she won't survive anyway".
So I tried to come closer to the little kitten and she really cried so loud this broke my heart. To make a long story short -
of course we had to take her with us. On our way back home Wolfgang called the veterinary  and we arrived one hour later.
She (it's a little lady) got penicillin, vitamines, combination vaccine against 5 diseases and I had to feet her 7 times the day.
Last Friday she had her last appointment at the vet and now she's alive and kicking! It was the best Christmas gift we could get.
Her favorite place is my bed (this absolutely doesn't surprise me) and Wolfgang's slipper. She loves sitting on the coffee machine, playing with my other cats (they all love her - I call it baby bonus) and at the moment she's running around with a little yellow ball, using Bibi and Isabel as trampoline.

And here she is, I took the photo this morning:
Leni, 12 weeks old and her eyes are really that turquoise (I hope this doesn't change).

all I can say is - how beautiful a day can be when love touches it.
And we love her and she ... loves us as well it seems.

Have a wonderful day, my friends.
By the way - she's number 12 now and I think there's always a little place for number 13 (it's not that I'm looking for it but you don't know...).

Love and hugs,
Julchen

What a beautiful story...good thing you rescued her. The other owner had too many animals to take proper care of and didn't value this one.

Leni is beautiful. Bless you.

You two are so bighearted. And you two get so much joy from it. Well deserved joy! :)
Such a cute little girl you saved. I'm glad she's save and sound at your place. Pet her from me.
Happy Holidays and a happy new year to you and all your housemates.

Oh, she is beautiful! That is just so wonderful that you were able to rescue her. Congratulations on your new family memeber. 12 is a very nice number.

So glad you rescued the poor little mite. She's beautiful. You're such a giving soul, it warms the heart xx

That's so true, romeny. 30 cats and the farmer feeds them all but a visit by the vet is surely too expensive. I'm glad Leni is now with us!

Thank you, my dear. I know you would have done the same.

Thank you so much, sweetie. She's such a cutie and so grateful after this short time.
I'm more than glad we took her home.
And to your and your loved ones a wonderful year, as well!
*hugs tight*

Thank you, my dear. She really is a great gift! Lovely, grateful but a little rascal as well :-))

Thanks a lot, my dear friend. She running around like mad and she's sooo very grateful after this short time. She IS a gift, no doubt!
*hugs back tight*

Thank you so much, sweet lady!

Awww, thank you, my dear. I know you would have done the same I'm sure.
I'll pet her from you and you can be sure she'll give you many many licks and headrubs back!

She's very beautiful, but I'm sure you'd have taken her in even if she had been the ugliest kitty in the world.:)

how beautiful a day that is blessed with the love of Julchen, I should say. I wish you were here (or I, there), so I could hug you, dear. You're a special soul. (btw, perhaps you should call your turquoise-eyed kitteh Eliana (which is the feminine version of Elijah. Or Froda!)

with love to you, jan

Bless your heart! She is beautiful! I'm so glad that you were there and was able to rescue her. I don't think her eyes will change from that beautiful turquoise if she really is 12 weeks. Usually they will get their permanent eye color shortly after 8 weeks.

awww...what a wonderful Christmas for that little kitty! What a lucky little lady! :)

What a beautiful story and what beautiful people you two are for taking her in and healing her! We have a farm and I've seen so many cats get distemper over the years because they get over-populated. And we couldn't afford to treat them because there were just so many. She is a very lucky little girl that you found her. *hugs*

What a lovely story! I'm so glad you found that little darling and brought her home and gave her a chance at a happy life. She is adorable!

I have to say Leni reminds me of my Harry, who was a rescue kitty who came to me through [livejournal.com profile] kittyfosterami.

You have the biggest, most loving heart of anyone I know. What a lucky little kitty she is to have been found by you and Wolgang. Happy new year to you and your family of cats and humans.

You dear heart. I'm so happy you saved the kitten. What a beauty she is. ♥

Happy New Year, Julchen. I received your card, thanks for it!
