From Strays to Sisters: The Heartwarming Bond Between McKenzie Rae & Leila

January 7, 2017 By Amanda 3 Comments

straysMatt and I rescued McKenzie Rae from the county euthanasia list in November 2015. She came into the shelter as a stray, then she came home to us as a fearful, malnourished angel. Although McKenzie Rae (her name means “hope for a new beginning”) became ill and almost passed away in the first month we had her, she’s now super healthy, active and friendly. We’re still working on fear issues but that’s a work in progress.

We adopted Leila in October 2016. She was also a stray. Leila was actually stuck in the engine bay of a car and it took rescuers an hour to retrieve her. After about two days of being with us, Leila began to show us her playful, spunky personality. It resembles that of McKenzie. Before we knew it, Leila was attached to McKenzie Rae. I fully believe that animals can sense what each other has been through, and my two beautiful girls connected immediately.

Leila

It’s officially been a week since Leila joined our family, and a productive week it has been. While Leila was never shy, she did take a day or so to get comfortable with her new surroundings. Leila fits in extremely well with our other animals…most of them. Sadie hasn’t been too thrilled but she’s coming around.

Meet Leila, Our New Rescue Kitten!

October 28, 2016 By Amanda 10 Comments

LeilaJuly was the three year anniversary of my Edison running away. Edison was my heart cat. I had a bond with Edison that I didn’t know was possible with a cat. When I lost him, the grieving process was terrible. In fact, I was so heartbroken from Eddy running away that I couldn’t bring myself to get another cat. However, Matt and I have been wanting to add a kitten to our family since we moved into our new home. I decided I was finally ready. We’ve waited for the right opportunity because we didn’t want to make any impulse decisions. Well, Wednesday was the day, and I would like to introduce to you my baby Leila, our new Siamese cat!
