Angel Baby is a very special little girl.

My hubby works a lot out of town. There is an old restaurant that he goes to when he works in this one little town. There are a lot of kitties that hang out around there. Most are abandoned and very scared of people. My dear hubby is a cat lover just as I am, so he would save some of his lunch and take it out with him and try to make friends. One day, this little Tabby kitty come up to him, very shy at first and takes what he has to offer. That's when he noticed that she is injured. She has an open eye socket. She would not let him touch her.

Every day for a week he would bring her little morsels from his lunch. She would sit out by his work van waiting for him never letting him touch her but always taking from his hand the goodies. When he comes home his work is complete, every night telling me about this little one. Then about a month later Halloween day he has to do a service call at the job site he stops to eat lunch at the same little place. Who do you suppose is waiting for him at the van? Yep, the little tabby! This time she rubs herself all over him and lets him pick her up. After a pat on the head he puts her down opens the door and she jumps in he can't get her out. He call me and tells me to meet him at our vet.

When I arrived at the vet he asks me if we can keep her. You see we have three other kitties and a dog and all of the have been foundlings too. Well, what is one more little one, right?

We have named her Angel because the angels truly were protecting her and brought her to us. She likes to be called "baby", soooooo that is how she got her name. Angel had surgery on her face and now she looks like she is winking at ya!

It has been two years since, and she has had two breasts removed due to cancer. The vet says she is now doing fine.
