Adelle is Not Here

Hi again! So anyway I have some bad news about this cat at the shelter I work at. Here it is.

Well there is an animal shelter that I work at. Anyway there came a cat named Adelle that was brought in. She was dirty and had goobers in her eyes. Anyway we took her to the hospital fast. The vet said that Adelle had a foot problem. She had fungus in her feet that might be bad but she will recover quickly. But we couldn't touch her toes because that will hurt her really bad. Anyway she could just barely walk.

So last week I saw Adelle the first time. She was 8 months old. Just a kitten! They said she was a rex cat. That means she is a very special, rare, breed and costs millions of dollars. Anyway she is a tan cat. So last week I sat down on the floor by the heater where Adelle was. She walked towards me lazily. Then she got up on my lap. She sat there and then started to purr. She really never has done that ever to a person. So it was very special. Soon enough we became friends. Then she felt like my real friend and pet. But the shelter said nobody could buy her.

Then the next week came and I was really looking forward to seeing Adelle again. I came in and Adelle wasn't here. Sharon explained Adelle was in foster care from a nice lady. Then the phone rang and Sharon the chief of the shelter picked it up. After she finished talking she told us Adelle was missing! That was really bad and everybody panicked.

Then 10 minutes later the phone rang again. Sharon answered it. It was the same people. They said they had found Adelle! But they had bad news. Odelle was in her bed and was gone. She was dead. My companion that had loved me was gone. I wouldn't be seeing her again and the death happened today 3 hours ago on May, 16, 2012, 4:21. She was dead. Hold on I need to blow my nose. Okay so I think I should stop the post I need to calm down and cry. Everybody who red this should know pets die every day. Just like my companion, Adelle, who was there for me when I needed her.

As I heard Adelle was gone at the shelter I cried for dear life. I tried to cheer me by playing with the kittens but it didn't help. But then Sharon said,""Even though it's hard to lose one
it's better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.
For every animal you lose there are a hundred waiting for you to
save." That is what she said and I miss Adelle but she's right. Now I have to go BYE!

  1. We will miss Adele. She was a sweet and gentle soul. Even when her feet hurt so much, she loved to be snuggled.

    The volunteers and I are soooo grateful to you for all the tender loving care you gave to Adele.

    Her life was better because you cared.

  2. I am sorry Odelle died. When you lose a friend, it is terribly sad. I have lost many. But Sharon is right, there are hundreds, thousands more waiting, to love you who need you.
