What would the humans say about me? Well, first of all, just look at my face! I think they'd say, isn't she a pretty kitty? Doesn't she look just like a Picasso painting? I think that's why they named me Picassa. I don't know even know what a Picasso painting is, but the way they say that, I just know it's something good!
What they forget is that I'm not just a pretty face! I'm pretty all over! I was born that way but in a not so good place. I could have been eaten by coyotes or run over by a car before they brought me here to a place called foster care. Here I don't have to hide in bushes and get to lay on soft cushions and eat yummy food! But like a princess in a tower, I'm looking out at the world from only one room. I like being inside but if I'm to keep my girlish figure I'm going to need more room to exercise!
I don't do zoomies anymore as that's just for babies, but I still like to watch birds from a window and catch that bird at the end of a stick, and I'm really, really good at that! Want to see? I could show you but first you'll have to ask my foster mom if you could have me. If you tell her how great my life with you could be, I'm sure she could be convinced. Would you please? Pretty please? Just ask!
Purrs and thank you!

More about this rescue
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!
