Fiona & Grace
Read heartfelt stories of rescue, and share your rescued animal stories with others.
These two babies, along with two other sibling were on the "to be euthanized" list at our local shelter, when a feline rescue group had them pulled. I adopted Fiona & Gracie without hesitation. Fiona gave new meaning to the word 'curious' & magically appeared whenever she heard the faucet or flush of a toilet, among countless other things & she loves to talk. Gracie had upper-respiratory infections on & off, but always seemed happy & playful, although not as quick as her big sister. She was the smallest, sweetest baby that overly enjoyed mealtime & loved to sit on our lap purring, kneading and sucking her thumb whenever petted. Gracie sucked her thumb till the day she died of FIP coronavirus at 9 months old. She brought us such joy for the six months she was here & she will never ever be forgotten. Fiona still looks for her sister, so we shower her with even more love & attention to ease her broken heart, which in turn, helps us heal as well. We will always love & miss our little thumb-sucker. She truly was very special.
