I got Ariel from a pet store when she was just 8 weeks old . She was in this large steel cage all alone . As I was passing by she stuck her tiny paw out and let out th cutest meow . I couldn't resist it for me it was love at first sight . I paid and took her home it was only two days latter that I learned from the vet that she was very sick.She had earmites and a very servers stomach parasite . He gave me some medicine yet he said he didn't think she would make it. Well she did make it and is now 17 years old.
