I had been the legal guardian of my paternal grandmother for 9 years. She was diagnosed with lung and colon cancer in 2008. I also had a sweet dog we had rescued 5 years earlier that was diagnosed with brain cancer. We spent 12k giving her radiation treatments, because they told us that with the treatment she could have another1 to 2 years without any neurological problems. She had been beaten and abused before we got her, so she deserved as much happiness as we could give her. In March 2009 I had to put my paternal grandmother on hospice care. The next day I had to put my sweet dog to sleep, then 10 days later my maternal grandmother passed away. With so much death all at once and still one grandmother on hospice care, I needed some life in my house. I found Oscar at my vet's office. They had received 4 little brothers that had been thrown into a dumpster. Someone had been taking care of them, but they had been crated the entie time. Oscar and i saw each other and immediately knew we belonged together, We took him home to join our family of 2 rescued cats in April 2009, His energy, playfullness and hilarious personality has literally been my salvation. Even with the passing of my paternal grandmother 5 days before her 100th birthday, I was devastated, since she had been my responsibility for 9 years, Oscar has helped me deal. He is a momma's boy, just as our cats are all momma's babies. Without Oscar I would have lost my sanity in 2009., He has the cutest face, endless amounts of love to give and is full of mischief. He makes me laugh every day. As I said he has been my Salvation.
