5/21/17 – Meet our little Carla’s new best friend – Violet. Little six-week old Violet was rescued by our dear friend and animal whisperer, Dee Najera. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for her initial doctor visit and plans were made for Violet to go to our friends at the Ferndale Cat Shelter. When Violet was first brought into Dee’s home, Carla hissed and spit at Violet. I guess she was a little upset about having to share her ‘baby in the family’ status. But, guess what? The hissing stopped and the playing began and now the two are inseparable. Spunky Violet is showing Carla how to be a kitten and the family thinks that this is what Carla needs to help her recovery from ‘paralyzed kitty’ to ‘independent kitty’. So — Violet, mentor kitty, won’t be going anywhere right now. ~ diana
