Meet My Seven Rescue Cats

The most special thing about my cats is that they are all rescues!

This is Birdie, is my oldest cat. She is about 4 years old now. A family member found her and her brother in the bushes by her house. I was begging my mom for a cat, so we got her!

Buni is my cat! She is so precious. My stepdad found her on some property he was cleaning up to sell. He said she would follow him around begging for food. She was still a tiny kitten and lost her mother. He had the heart to pick her up and bring her home to me! She loves to lick my face and sit in my lap whenever she can. I have to say that she's my favorite.

Sarah is an absolute sweetheart! She loves being petted and she has the cutest little "meow" sounds when she's happy. Her mother was a stray and left her to our care. Sarah used to be as wild as a little squirrel but now we can't get her out of bed.

Pumpkin is our orange, long-haired cat! It was so cool because we actually got to see her being born! It was my sister's cat's baby. She wasn't able to keep her, and no one else wanted her, so we decided to take her. She is a little sweetheart and she loves to cuddle!

Jill is one of our younger babies. She's a tabby, and we believe she might be somehow related to Sarah. My stepdad and uncle were driving down the road in the snow and heard soft kitten cries. They stopped and brought her home. She has a similar look to Sarah, so we think maybe the mother cat had another litter in our neighborhood.

Poppy is a sweet girl. I love her precious little face. My parents have been renovating a house to sell for almost five months now! They found her there and she was starving. We took her in and we tried to find her a new home, but no one wanted her. But we love her nonetheless!

Phoebe is also from the renovated home. We believe that she is the mother of Poppy. She is a calico and she looks very similar to Buni! She was skin and bones when we first brought her home. Now she eats like there's no tomorrow! We love her golden "jewel" eyes.

I absolutely adore all seven of my kitties! I love sharing all of their stories because they mean so much to me and my family. There are so many homeless cats out there. These cats that have joined my family are some of the lucky ones.

A lot of people say, "adopt, don't shop," and I support that 100%! The very least that people can do is to have their pets spayed or neutered. There are many places that help the public pay for these services and it helps tremendously with the costs. There is also a program that allows people, at little to no cost, to trap feral cats and have them spayed, neutered, and then be re-released. Having your cats spayed neutered helps keep the homeless population down and shelters from overcrowding.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
