Gabriel
Gabriel is our "fixer-upper" cat. He was found wandering around at the steel mill where my wife used to work, emaciated, dehydrated, almost dead, trying to drink from a mud puddle.
One of the guys picked him up and brought him to Sheri's office to keep him safe and asked if we'd take him home. Sheri stopped at the vet's on the way home, and the vet gave him some fluids and said if he survived the night, bring him back tomorrow for more.
He not only survived, but fought back from imminent kidney failure to become the gorgeous creature you see here. He is also one of the most loving animals we've ever had. He was a lot of work, but totally worth it.
