Emma

Hi, my name is Emma. Mom and dad call me Emma-the-Lou.

Mom was working at Mission Valley Animal Shelter when we lived in Ronan, Montana. My human step brother Tyler came to visit Montana as he does a few times a year. You see, Tyler lives in South Florida with his real mom and step dad.

While mom was working at the shelter he would always come to the shelter at least once or twice to work with mom. One day while he was visiting, my fur mom and my litter mates where brought into the shelter.

Tyler was walking around playing and petting all of us as he usually did when he came. For some reason he took a real liking to me, although what’s not to like. He called his mom in South Florida to ask her if he could have me. His mom is a very responsible person and tried to explain to him that there were lots of kitties in South Florida in shelters that needed homes as well and it would be expensive to fly me back to South Florida.

Then he went to mom and dad, boy did he them beg big time! Of course being the big hearted softies that they are, they agreed.

Tyler went back to South Florida and I was still at the shelter with mom. While there I became very sick, mom says I was on death’s doorstep, phew…..thank God death didn’t open that door. Mom and the staff took very good care of me. They cleaned up after me and made sure I had the proper medicine and food.

Poor mom and dad had to tell Tyler I might not make it but all of us were trying really hard.

Well, I got through my sickness and came home. I am sort of a loner. I’m not terribly fond of the boys. I guess they’re alright, but I like my alone time. I especially like it when mom and I do our nose to lips kissy thing as we like to call it.
