Santa delivers Zelda to her new home.

Just in time for Christmas, Zelda (our one eyed kitten - AKA Winky) made her way into the hearts and home of a wonderful family.  One of our great clients, Tanya, fell in love with Zelda after visiting the hospital several times while the homeless kittens were growing and playing in the Warren Woods Veterinary Hospital reception area.  Now Tanya has cats of her own at home, but something about the outgoing personality of Zelda and her fearless nature attracted Tanya to her.  She began to work on her husband gently suggesting that Zelda would make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas.  Now her husband is an animal lover as well, but he is the practical one, the voice of reason.  He didn't think another cat was needed in their home and he was very comfortable that Zelda was happy and healthy living at WWVH.  Tanya continued to visit with Zelda and continued to ask "Santa" for a new kitten.  As Christmas approached it wasn't looking good for the adoption, then 3 days before Christmas I received a facebook message asking me if Zelda was still available for adoption.  I replied that yes, she had just been spayed on Monday and was recovering nicely and that she could go to a home any day.  The facebook message was from Tanya's husband.  He wanted to see if he could pick Zelda up on Christmas eve, so she could be the Christmas gift that Tanya was wishing for.  We made arrangements for him to get her on Monday, Christmas eve.   The little kitten that started life outside with her mother and siblings, starving and lonely, with an eye that was diseased and blind, ended up with the best of happy endings.  Being delivered by Santa into the loving arms of a wonderful, capable family.
