Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 15 With Special Guest Frances Case and Courage

LetsChatAboutCatsPodcast

In this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Frances who is the mom of Courage and who lives in Seattle.
Courage's story is one which is more than difficult to swallow and makes her mom choke up even to this day just thinking about it. It is a story of cruelty but also of hope and survival and that there is always good in the world to counteract any evil.
Courage was once a feral cat living in the countryside. She was part of a colony of feral cats who were cared for by an elderly gentleman. One day she just disappeared and a few days later she returned and the gentleman noticed that someone had deliberately cut off her ears and her tail. He did what he could to clean the wounds and help heal them but Courage developed many health issues and he was no longer able to take care of her.
He asked the Seattle Area Feline Rescue if they could help him and they did. Courage was taken into foster care where she spent several months with a special lady called Shelley who nursed her back to health and gave her the start she needed when searching for her final forever home.
Frances was the lucky one chosen to be Courage's new forever mom and so welcomed Courage into her home. Frances shares details of the various health issues that Courage suffered due to her past life and living conditions, the many surgeries she has had to have and also how she struggled with Courage at the beginning and did not know if she had done the right thing adopting her. Frances explains that she was glad she was patient and how it is important to give cats time to adjust and that everything can be ok in the end.
Courage is now living happily with her brothers Ashton and Tyson who look after her very well! You can hear about her joyful playtimes and the little habits she has and funny things she does keeping her whole family amused everyday.
Courage is quite a character and has touched many hearts with her story. If there was ever a cat who can give more love than she ever could receive then it would be little Courage.
