Capi

Your Pet's Rescue Story
We never planned on getting at cat. At least, not anytime soon. I was volunteering at Pet Alliance to get my kitty cuddle fix in since my apartment at the time did not allow animals. I was at a point in my life, having been working overnight shifts for a few months and not adjusting well, where I needed something to bring me joy. Something to give me a reason not to just go to work, go to sleep, and not do too much else. So one day when I was at a particularly low point, we walked into Pet Alliance just to get a kitty fix. Capi (known as Mini Capi then) immediately snuggled himself between us and started purring up a storm. I was smitten. I would not allow myself to leave that day without him. We came up with a living arrangement for him, made it work, and decided then and there to bring him home. Since that day, I have a hard time imagining what my life would be like without him.

This purring furball has given me more joy than I can accurately express. He's the perfect cat. He's always by my side (except when I try to make him be), happy to see me (especially when food is involved), and makes me laugh more than anything. Since the day we brought him home, my disposition has changed so much. Fewer anxiety attacks. Less of a chance that I'll just want to sit around and cry about nothing. He walks in, looks at me with those eyes and gives me a meow, and I can almost physically feel my mood improve. It's something that's difficult to explain, but that's okay. I don't know that I would say Capi saved me, but he made my days that much brighter. And fuzzier. And funnier. And snugglier. This kitty cat (who is not so "Mini" anymore) is the greatest thing that could have happened to me this past October. People may call me a crazy cat lady now, but I don't care. Sure I have cat hair everywhere now, and I may be obsessed with getting toys and scratching posts and window perches and posting a million photos of him everywhere, but he has given me so much that I can't help but want to spoil him rotten.

And getting him on a wine bottle would give me even more reason to look into purchasing that wine for cats to spend a Netflix and wine night with my best friend.
