Meet Tee Tramp. She came into my life one November day and I am so thankful for her. People are always dumping animals where my husband works. Tee was one of those animals. After he caught her, instead of hissing and spitting at him like most cats do, she rubbed against the cage and meowed. He called me and asked if he could bring another cat home, and I said yes.

When he got home I went outside to meet her. She immediately started rubbing against the cage trying to touch me, and it was all over, I was in love. I let her out. Life has never been the same. I tell my husband that I can’t imagine what would have happened to her if we hadn’t taken her in. She’d probably be pregnant and on the streets with no one to care for her, just like happens to so many young girls. But we took her in, had her spayed, and each day feed her, play with her, and love her unconditionally. And in return, she has blessed us each morning with laughter. Each afternoon she greets us when we return from work by meowing and rubbing her soft fur against us. Somehow I believe I got the better end of the deal.
