Description
Hannah's fur was as soft as cotton candy and her personality just as sweet. She was a registered persian that I rescued when she was just 7 months old. When I picked her up, she was flee ridden and her fur was solid mats clear to the skin. Children in the household were running and kicking after her.....she was frightened beyond words and my heart ached for her. An immediate trip to the vet was in order. She was treated for parasites, she was bathed and her body was shaved. What a sight she was, shaking like a leaf and still totally frightened. In time, she learned to fully trust us. She blossomed into such a beautiful cat. I was so blessed to have her in my life for 14 years. She lost her battle to health issues a couple years ago and I still mourn the loss of this precious little girl.

Marsha Elliott replied:
Thanks, Angie, for your kind words. My heart is breaking as I had to say goodbye to her sister this morning after 16 years. It's just so hard to lose a beloved pet as they're such a huge part of our lives.

Great work Marsha! This one has a great flow to it!
Marsha Elliott replied:
Thanks, Ken. Her fur was extremely long and flowing which lent itself well to this kind of look.
