Enid [3]

August 6, 2015

Robin says: My best friend is a vet tech and happened to live in a neighborhood with a lot of stray cats. One day she found our little Enid -- just hours old, laying on the sidewalk. She brought the kitten inside and things did not look good -- we were pretty sure that she was going to die. We did everything we could to save her, giving her fluids, keeping her warm.... and she just kept on hanging on to life. We started giving her around-the-clock care, while also trying to be realistic about her chances of survival. We didn't want to name her because we were trying not to get attached, but of course we fell in love with her. And luckily she survived! Her name is Enid, and she's quite a hellion. (Don't fall for that innocent, cute look she had as a kitten!)

Enid the flying nun. LOL. What a trooper she is and how caring you are to have rescued her and nursed her to health. She is a doll - even if she's a little naughty.

The "flying nun" revisited indeed:) When I started my post I didn't realize Martiki had make the same comment. So glad Enid made it. She had more than one guardian angel looking after her. That and calico attitude to make her a feisty survivor. Give her a belly rub for me.

Enid is a little flower. So glad she pulled through and is now a fighter.

Enid is a winner. Enid is beautiful and what a lucky family you are. You have given glamour to the name Enid - and our Olive sez "Allo".

Naughty or nice how could you not love that face! Thank you for trying so hard to save her! I foster and I know the heartache of trying not to get attached (seems impossible not to) and then loosing that baby you tried so hard to save! Heartbreaking and I never forget the ones I have lost. It is so joyful when you realize you have won the battle and the baby will live to be naughty or nice! God bless you.

I looked up Enid as a name. It means soul or life, and proved to be a good luck charm.
