Description of my cat
Alaska In the summer of 2010, I started volunteering at the Cumberland County S.P.C.A. One day around the end of July, I was wandering around the building looking at all the different animals. I am usually more drawn to the dogs since I myself have two, however, I always breeze through the cat section. While I was looking at all the different cats, one caught my eye immediately. When you walked into the cat room, she was the first, top cage on the left. The cage had an old blanket, a litter box, and two tiny bowls of food and water. Unlike the other cats, it broke my heart to see her in that cage. I instantly fell in love with her. A few days later, I ended up adopting her and adding her to our family. When we got her, they told us that a few years ago she was brought in by a certain family due to them moving. She then was in the S.P.C.A. for a while after that. Eventually, a lady adopted her, but ended up bringing her back about a year later because of allergies. Alaska was in the shelter for almost another year by the time I adopted her. They were not sure of her age, but they assumed she was around seven years old. Once cats get so old or are in the shelter too long, they are put to sleep. If I did not adopt her, the shelter would have put her down very soon. According to the staff, she was a perfectly healthy cat and we would have no problems. However, they were very wrong. We took her to her first vet appointment and we found out that she had feline leukemia. After running a few tests, they had determined that she was not affected by it and she was only a carrier. This means that she could eventually get sick from it, or she could spread it to other cats. Also, we later found out that she is deaf. Despite these issues, she appears as a normal healthy cat.
I instantly fell for her because of her beauty. She has snow white long hair which makes her appear twice the size she really is. She also has two different colored eyes. Her right eye is a vibrant

    This is my cat ‘‘Buttercup’’. You might wonder: Why that name? Well, when I founded him, it was unavoidable to match his muddy yellow coat with the bright flower. He had a mashed-in nose, half of one ear missing and eyes the color of rotting squash. According to my older sister, Katniss, Buttercup was the world’s ugliest cat but it did not matter, because I knew that in the bottom of her heart she was starting to love him. Besides, he was a great help at home, for he was a born mouser. So, we did not have vermin problems anymore. Furthermore, Buttercup was very special for me; he made me feel safe when I had nightmares during the…

    Being so young and blinded by her beautiful looks, she had the bluest eyes you had ever seen. Unending seas of gunmetal blue in fact. The most board straight, chestnut hair, cascading down her back like Rapunzel. Of course you can not forget about the bloodless, pale face with the cutest rosiest cheeks as if a little fairy had charmed the apples of them. Or even the strawberry, but voluminous young lips. Never will I not remember the dark green script that read…

    They were still covered in bugs and still in that slimy sack. So the next step to my nasty rescues was to grab all 5 of the slimy kittens and take them inside where I had light and could actually see what I was doing. Betty of course was still in her role as a worthless spectator. Once inside, I placed the kittens in the sink and proceeded to rip and remove the bugs infested birthing sacks and quickly rinse the kittens off. I looked over next to the sink where I had placed the kittens on a towel and felt a sense of relief to see them all moving around and still…

    When I moved from the eastside to the westside of Dearborn in 2006, I felt distraught. I barely knew anyone that went to Bryant Middle School. I wanted to return home and talk to my friends that went to Woodworth Middle School, in East Dearborn. To comfort me with a pet, my brothers took me along with them to the Dearborn Animal Shelter. We combed through several cages containing cats; we saw an adorable three-legged cat, a beautiful calico cat, and some cute white kittens. We then came upon a cage containing a small white and black cat named Ring Leader. Ring Leader was 5 months old at the time. He was lightly shedding, climbing over the shelter worker, and feverishly looking around. Ring Leader seemed like an energetic and fun cat, so I chose…

    Did you know that there are over 2.4 million healthy dogs and cats in shelters? Did you also know that one every thirteen seconds are euthanized ("Pet Overpopulation: The Humane Society of the United States")? These animals don’t ask to be brought into this world to be put in a small, cold enclosed cage. I personally wouldn’t want to be born into the world to be given up on, would you? Too many people don’t understand or even care to understand this sad statistic. In fact, humanity is so selfish in that aspect it makes me truly sick. Why do we have to have the cutest puppies or kittens? What’s wrong with an older dog, you don’t have to train them half the time. They need love too. My goal gave me the motivation to reach out to my local shelter that influenced me to explore programs in the future to help all dogs and cats.…

    It was a Super Bowl game night. The San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens were playing as me and my family watched. The sound of popcorn popping in the kitchen and the smell of biscuits in the oven was all around the house. Later on that evening, I felt that there was something wrong, so I tiptoed away from the living room to go look for my dog, and when I found her, she was breathing really hard as if she had ran a marathon. A few seconds later, I came to my senses and realized that she was giving birth, Lexie had six puppies. The runt of the litter was my favorite, she was completely white with little brown spots on her tail. Seeing that she was white and delicate, Tiffany and I decided to name her Snowflake.…

    Zoe Saldana

    • 3 Pages

    The reason I chose Zoe Saldana is because she is a gorgeous, strong, and independent woman. She keeps her head up even if she’ hurting inside. She is an inspiration for Hispanic descendents. She is very focused and determined. Saldana has been working since the age of 21. She makes me want to keep pursuing my dreams. She sends a message to never give up when times get rough. I can relate to her when her father died. When I was twelve I lost my grandfather. That was one of the saddest days of my life. I was quiet and isolated from people for a while. My grades started to drop. Then one day in class we read about Hispanic celebrities. One of those Hispanic celebrities was Zoe Saldana. That’s when I learned that she lost her father at age nine. Instead of giving up she and her mother moved to Dominican Republic. She strived to become an actress. That’s when I decided to do the same as her. I picked up my grades and made a plan to fulfill my goal. That’s why I fell in love with Zoe Saldana. We both are descendents of immigrants. So I can relate to how much her parents had to work to provide for her. I want to become successful at what I do when I grow up.…

    “C-cat,” I mumbled out as a toddler. According to my mother, cat was my first spoken word. If you know anything about me, you would know that I love animals. When I was about six years old, I realized I wanted to become a veterinarian. At the age of nine, I took a huge step into my veterinarian career. I started my most fulfilling 4-H project, which was showing Boer goats. Showing goats gave me the opportunity to learn the different phases of taking care of animals. I have always been a passionate person, when it comes to my family, my studies and my community. When I set my mind to it, I always get the job done.…

    She was beautiful on the inside and out. Her first true love was when she was twelve years old, and she was so scared to tell that person because she did not think he would accept her for whom she was.

Anytime I got near one my eyes get watery and I want to scratch my skin off. Not only did I not receive a cat when I was little, instead I gratefully received a dog, but also I can’t be near them. These changes of events have converted me to being a dog person and to appreciate felines from afar.…
