Pet of the Month: Ariel


Meet Ariel, the perfect cat.  Our instant bond began when we both laid eyes on each other on June 6th, 2003 at the N.O.A.H. Center where I served as a volunteer.  Of all the wonderful felines to choose from, this very sweet and gentle little black domestic short-hair was “The One.”  After all these wonderful years together, it still boggles my mind that her original paperwork from the Everett Animal Control stated, “Did not want anymore.”  Ariel was our little gift of life and she was meant to be with us.

Early in 2013, Ariel was diagnosed with a slow-growing lymphoma in her small intestine.  With the help and guidance of her professional team at Edmonds Veterinary Hospital and AMC, Ariel is able to tolerate and maintain the wonderful quality of life that she is accustomed to.  From the initial diagnosis, our decision was whatever was going to be optimal for Ariel.  To this day, that continues to be our focus.  It is all about what is best for her, not what is best for us.  We believe that is the true meaning of love. 


Ariel’s life remains active and happy and we are making the most of every day.  There is no loss of love in our house.  I tell her every day that I love her as much as every piece of fur on her body.  Now THAT is a lot of love.  She has brought so much joy to us since that first day we brought her home.  We all acknowledge the fact that we are lucky to have each other and are grateful to be a family where generous exchanges of love are shared every day.
