SKETCH AGE 3
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON
Mixed longhair
Sketch came to me as a 3 month
old kitten. I adopted her site
unseen. She was about to be
killed by her owner. so I basically
saved her life. I named her
sketch because she was part
striped and part blotched so I
figured god couldnt make up his
mind. So he just sketched her
patterns out. Sketch was an
amazing cat who was very very
intelligent.
She
was
very
effectionate and slept right next
to me in bed. I think what
impressed me the most about her
is when we found out that she
had
heart
problems.
She
developed blood clots and it
caused her to become paralized
in her rear legs. We almost lost
her at this point..

She had the want to live and
managed to survive and within a
couple months was walking again.
She didnt get use totally back in
one of her paws, but this amazing
cat learned to thrive with this
disability. She learned to walk
again and even learned how to
climb. With all this she was still a
loyal companion and enjoyed life.
Unfortuanetly a year later she lost
the battle to the hert disease that
she was inflicted with. Although it
was very hard for me I still think of
her often and she still sleeps with
me next to my bed. Her courage
and enthusiasm will have me
admiring her forever. SHe will be
greatly missed
