.I'm Sugar Plum. Yes, that's what they call me! Like in that story, I'm quite the vision! Though I won't dance in or on your head. I promise.
Like a sugar plum, I am sweet after I get to know you. Before that I'm a little shy. On the quiet side. Maybe it's because I'm overshadowed by my "roomies" 3 other cats who always try to catch that bird on a fishing pole before I even have a chance to try to get it. I guess I'm just not as athletic as they are so I never get the bird and it makes me kind of sad. I would like to catch the bird and I know I could do it if I didn't have those others around me. I guess I'm a little bit of a loner. I don't really want to play with those others, but I would love it if I could play with you! If it were only me and you I know I could catch that bird! Could I show you how I catch the bird?
If you ask my mom (my foster mom) and let her know that you want to play catch the bird with me so I could show you that I can really do it, I think she might let me come live with you. Just tell her that you have a bird toy and that you want to rescue me from these naughty competitive cats and I think she will listen. Please? And then we can play with the bird toy! Oh won't that be fun? Can you get visions of that in your head?
I'm dancing with joy (in my own head) at the thought of that!

TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO RESCUE IS DIVINE!
Divine Intervention arose out of one woman's belief in the following statement:
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
Author, Edward Everett Hale
Over the course of 4 decades of helping multitudes of helpless animals, I've looked into hundreds upon hundreds of eyes looking back at me, each soul with a story that without words were conveyed through those eyes.
Now my day has come to lay down the gauntlet of the fight to save them "all" as I close my doors and try to save myself and what is left of those who had come to me at an earlier time as I prepare to lose our home.
Kittens and puppies are irresistible, I know. But until you look into the eyes of an old soul and watch those eyes go from fear and distrust to gratitude and love, you are missing out on something special. They came to me from all the places you would never want for them to be, some from unimaginable suffering. They may not be cute balls of fluff, but they are more than that, those old souls. And now they need to be rescued again.
I do not want their ship to go down with mine. They have come this far and I want for them to live out what is left of their lives. They may not be so young as to attract enough attention to save them before the doors close here, and that is my fear.
What is my hope? My hope is that this message will reach those with a special kind of compassion that will divert the heartache that I the rescuer now feel for the rescued that have no inkling yet, that as I lose my home, they will lose theirs too.
My mission has certainly changed from what it had been when I was younger and bursting forth with all the energy in the world in my one person crusade to alleviate as much suffering as I could.
My proudest achievement in life is the hundreds upon hundreds of animals who went from suffering to happy endings. Now there are just these few left. I still have a little bit of time and some hope that there may still be a happy ending to this. I'm calling all Angels!
