Delilah was a beautiful long-haired orange cat that was rescued by my son. Soon after the rescue, my son and his wife had their first child. Delilah was a very vocal cat and had a tendency to to share her meows at the wrong time, so after a few months, Delilah‘s new home was with me. I was hesitant at first, but then soon came to realize that I needed her more than she needed me.
I have battled with my mental illness and addiction for many years and was walking a very rocky edge the day that Delilah came to live with me. I was so blessed to have her in my life. She was my best friend, my confidant, my soulmate. My son may have rescued her, but she definitely rescued me. Unfortunately, Delilah‘s been gone for about a year now and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss her and the way she loved me. I’m not looking for another cat because I realize she can never be replaced. But if one comes into my life that needs me, I will be there because she taught me that you never know when you may need rescued.
