This is Tilly its who this story is about.
I met Tilly when i was doing work placement at a vet, and she was the most beautiful cat i had ever seen, i asked about her, but sadly i could not get her Why, she had a brother they had been together since birth, and they where to be adopted out together. I spent every spare moment i had tht day looking in on her, wishing that she could be mine. I was so sad after lunch when i went to see her to see her cage empty. I was happy she had found a home, yes ill admit that, but i was upset i would never see her agian.
The next time i rocked up i think it was a Monday after the weekend, i went to see what animals we had in the cages, and my heart soared so high, while i couldn't believe my eyes. Tilly, the beautiful cat i had fallen in love with was back! Apparently she hadn't worked out yet her new owner had kept her brother. We, my family and i, belied that her brother's owner only wanted the tom and had adopted both so she could get him. I was over the moon, i begged mum by text to let me adopt her, telling her that Tillys vet said if she hadn't found a home by the end of the day she would be put to sleep. It payed off, that night i brought her home.
She was scared and timid when she arrived at my house, choosing to hide under my mums bed near the litter tray. it took a few weeks but finally she started to move about, and we managed to start to get her to sleep in my room. One of those nights i woke to one of the biggest storms i have ever faced/heard in my town, and i was terrified. Tilly, i think, sensed this and came over to lay on my chest, purring loudly. She helped me get back to sleep.
9 weeks later after adopting tilly, we found she was off her food, and after a few hours of trying to catch her we took her back to the vet to get check out. Every day i wanted to visit but i wasn't allowed, until Friday of that week, and i was over the moon, i couldn't wait. As soon as she saw me, Tilly let out a mew, and i was so happy, she looked so fit and healthy, i was told if she continued to improve i would get to take her home on Monday. I planed to visit her every day until then.
On Saturday i got up at 7, excited to go and visit my presiose girl, i was getting ready to head down the hill, when the phone rang. Part of me knew what it was about but i ignored it, until i picked it up and heard Tillys vet on the other end, saying that my beautiful little snow leopard had crashed overnight, and it was time to say good-bye. I almost dropped the phone, instead i think she could hear me as i started to cry. When i put the phone down, i couldn't move due to the tears for a few seconds, but i mange to get up and before i could leave, the phone rang again, it was my mother, she told me to give the phone to my brother, and that he was to drive me to the vet, she didn't want me to walk.
When i got there i almost ran in, When we went back into the cages Tilly started to purr as she saw me, and i felt my heart brake, that the cat who had been so shy and scared when i got her, was happy at the sight of me. She started purring and i started crying.My brother told me i should stay when she was put down, but i couldn't, i didn't want to see the life faid from my little girl.
She died on October the 31, 2013
