2/16/25 – Each one in every of our cats has had a narrative to inform. I’ve written about Molly Ruth and making a contemporary begin in life. We have additionally encountered My lovely and the significance of discovering alternative amidst adversity. Naomi taught us about overcoming trauma, and now it is Shay’s flip. Shay (above) is one in every of our 4 rescue cats and the newest addition to the household. He was in an animal shelter in southern New Jersey, after dropping his house when the home-owner handed away. He was handled effectively within the shelter, however was caught in a small cage a lot of the day. For a big, lively boy, this was not straightforward. When Margie and I got here to the shelter to go to Shay (his identify then was Chumungus!), we have been positioned in a room the place he may work together with us. Instantly, he went from Margie to me and again to Margie and again to me, rubbing towards us and purring loudly.

So we adopted Shay, and each evening he sleeps between the 2 of us, going from one to the opposite and purring earlier than plopping right down to sleep.
Shay was within the animal shelter for fairly some time. He may have simply grown torpid in his small cage and withdrawn from the world. As an alternative, when alternative got here, he was all in. He persevered and persevered together with his backwards and forwards between Margie and me till we needed to convey him house. In buying and selling and in life, we will face setback after setback and discover ourselves in a scenario that appears hopeless. If, like Shay, we will attain out and attain out and discover those that may also help us transfer ahead, we will obtain our profitable future. Shay gave love and gave love and gave love when nobody was loving him. And that’s what introduced him to his ceaselessly house. Once we are feeling most deserted and misplaced, that’s once we most want to present and attain out. If, in some small measure, you may be the long run you hope to seek out for your self, you will encourage others to affix you in that future.
