Jordy is looking dapper Craig! What a mountain he (and you) have climbed, love hearing of his progress. Bless your puuuuuuuuurring hearts x

That pic is priceless!! he looks sooo happy, and ‘battle-scarred’...

Glad you are both now enjoying your time together

He looks very contented despite his battle scars.

What a sweetheart and beautifully captured.

Jordy is gorgeous Craig and so glad to hear he is on the mend…may God bless you both :)

Kisses for Jordy :)

oh kitty..that’s just heartwrenchng :-(.huge hugs for both of you..OO

I showed my cat Lily(who is very particular)and she said “ROOOOOOWRR’ which translates into there’s nothing sexier than a cat with the scas of a valiant battle,and a look of unwavering dignity and determination in his eye.ROOOOOOOOOWRR” :-)

Oh he is beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im glad he is mending !!!!!!!!!!!!!

awww Im so glad hes recovering ..hes so precious !

So glad to hear he is doing well :)
My cat seems to have asthma, so yesterday I bought an (expensive) air purifier for him….not everyone would ‘get’ this, but I thought you would.
Cheers
Leanne.

Beautiful photo Craig, he looks like such a great little friend.
I only just read all the stuff that happened, its really good to see he’s doing well.

Very special photo!

oh Craig, I’m sorry your little Jordy is going through all that! I went back through your portfolio and figured out what happened to the little angel and I have my answer. I am so glad your little Jordy is ok! He/she has a wonderful, caring dad!

Such a heart warming story! Jordy made a remarkable recovery re your photo! Thanks for sharing your love for your feline friend with us Craig!

What a beautiful portrait Craig! I’m so very glad that he is recovering well after all he has been through. Your love for him shines through every word you write about him.

What a beautiful cat Craig.

Glad he is recovering well Craig!!

I only just heard about this Craig. So glad Jordy is ok now. They do become a real part of the family. We have two cats that ‘own’ the house here. They kindly let us live here. For a price lol.

My daughter and I have read your whole blog and looked at every single picture of Jordy. Its a great story and he is worthy cat to be give the extra years of life. We have three boys who we have saved from the pound. Cats are special little guys, we have a dog also but the cats are so funny with the things that they do or the poses they make. Thank you for sharing your Jordy with us.

bless,i nearly missed the update….:)

Aw, what a little character! I just read your blog too…what a scary adventure…you must be so relieved!

Awww…beautiful. It is so wonderful you have each other. :)

Looks purrrrrty happy !

Wow, this picture is stunning. He just radiates hope and perseverance. Elegance even.

I have just been reading your journal entries on the terrible trials of poor Jordy & am so pleased for both of you that he is progressing well & wearing his scars with such dignity.

Awwww, well melt my heart. What an amazing story of love and loyalty. You and Jordy are pure inspiration! I am so glad that he is on the mend.

oh dear.. what happened to him? poor thing.. Hugs~
so glad he looks healthier here..

Aawwww, what a precious cat! I’ve been offline a while and just read about Jordy. I’m so happy he has a second chance at life! My 10 1/2 year old cat is blind in one eye too, she’s my baby. Love IS blind when it comes from your heart. :)

remind him, its our impurrfections that make us purrfect

i like em rough round the edges. he’s gorgeous
xxxxxxx

Good for you Craig for doing what you can for this gorgeous little guy. I feel sorry for people who never get to experience this kind of bond with a special pet.

i think both you and Jordy are so very strong.. to have hanged on and last this long. Am so happy and proud of you both! love you two! Hugss!!

this image is so deserving of home page, well done and give Jordy my love and hugsxxxxx

Home Page…where Jordy should be!
Your photo shows the love.

or ya poor little mate looks like he has been chewed by a pitt bull though he looks pretty tuff he looks like he`s been through hell give him a belly scratch from the boing =]
glad he pulled through whatever happened to him

This is by far the best photo I’ve seen featured on the home page… and it made me cry.

What a beautiful friend you have…........... I am so happy he is still with you. You have been through some tough times….........hope you have many joyous times, togther, ahead of you both…......... :)

Great story and pic! 3 cheers for Jordy!!

Oh poor baby! He s a handsome fellow.

Hope he recovers very soon Craig, he’s adorable! Congratulations to you and Jordy on making the home page!

Oh the poor thing, I’m so glad you’ve taken this photo, this shows the real meaning of being an owner and staying with its companion.

Great work!

I just found your journals on this and read the whole story from the beginning to end – what a journey. People think I am mad when I say I am absolutely in love, and love my cat Zorro. Like your Jordy he follows me around and he’s always been there for me. You and Jordy have a beautiful bond and I must say he is a gorgeous animal. (I especially love the photo where he is climbing on you). Oh, and one other thing, when I saw Jordy my first impression was that he must be a special breed – because he doesn’t have ears – yea, don’t ask : )

What a beautiful story Craig. I read all the journals. A bond with an animal is a gift and is to be treasured. I have had many cats and that bond you have with Jordy is certainly special and doesn’t come along everyday. I’m sure you will both give each other pleasure for some time yet.

I must say, I am really taken by this image. Congrats on the homepage feature also. But I am an avid animal lover and cats are my absolute favorite no matter what type or size, from domestic, to the jungle cats. I don’t know the story behind this little felines issues, but I am glad he is on the way to recovery. He is lucky to have an owner that didn’t give up on him and that loves him very dearly. Thanks for being such a great person for this feline!!!!!! This image was obviously taken in love, well done!!!!

he’s a super model on featured pages. you have warmed so many hearts with this epic.

Yeah great story and I love your blog. What a little tiger!

what a cutie!

Great photo, Craig!!! I wish you all the best!!! =]

Jordy on the front page!! I damn near clapped my hands when I saw this…..Craig, how’s your beautiful little man doing these days? Keep giving him scratches for me. Better make sure he doesn’t develop an ego now he’s a supermodel :-) The best pirate I’ve ever seen, hehe.

yay Jordy – maybe you could purr like a pirate today – bet you have a very proud daddy! :)

Blessings to this little boy…and to you. i know how special and loved he must be…as i too love my cats as they are my babies. I hope that with each day that passes he gets stronger as the bond you both clearly have is wonderful. I also visited your blog and can see how far Jordy has come in his recovery.

that is so not cute…but i like it.

keep up the good work mate.

What a lucky boy to have you to love and care for him

WOW!! Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to read the story!! It’s not an unfamiliar story though, I just hope it spreads a message of Love and helps us to understand that animals should be just as important to us as any other child or person in our lives. We need to know we should look after them because we are actually doing things to make them live longer (and thus get more of the illnesses we get). In my case … I want to push that animals get skin cancer too!! Lets make sure we put zinc and sunscreen on them (or keep them out of the sun) and protect them as much as we can.

Thank you all so very much for your thoughts and well wishes and for taking the time to share this story (of many around the world) with me :) {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Awe…..glad he’s doing great…..beautiful little man..
Fabulous capture

I read the story, it is beautiful – and painful. Thank you for sharing your journey with this wonderful little fur-person. I have been through similar pain, and currently have a pet with an incurable tumor. Her surgery two years ago is still hurting financially, but we got to keep her with us. The day we need to let her go is drawing closer, I hope I will be strong. Wishing you all the best, Leena

I know what you mean only too well.

Happy to see your little guy is well and up and kicking Craig. All the best to the little bundle of fur.

I’m so glad your sweet boy is alright.

I had to go through a similar decision process at one point with my pup, Oreo. She had glaucoma in her left eye and had to have it removed. I know what a painful and confusing process it can be. Are we doing it for ourselves? Will they be happy? Are they going to be content afterwards?

But your loving boy seems to be healing well and I’m so thankful to see that. My prayers are with you and your furry family.

It’s so sad that you two had to go through all of that but It’s such a wonderful outcome ! how is he doing lately ?

poor thing

Wow, I came across the pic of Jordy in the Love of Cats challenge, and I had to go read your entire blog about what happened to your kitty. Reading the story literally brought tears to my eyes. I commened you on loving your animals so much to do what you have done for him. I wish there were more people in this world who treated and cared for their animals as much as some of us are willing to do. I wish I could save every cat that was in trouble, homeless or sick, and I’m glad to hear your Jordy is still doing well! Keep us updated on you guys =)

I have to say “DITTO” to what Katherine said above. Bless you and Jordy for being such brave souls. He really is a special guy. (and you are too for putting forth the effort to save him).

What a cutie!

It’s people like you that make all the difference in this world!
so please keep up the good work!
and I wish you all best! the both of you really deserve it!!

Oh lord, my heart just went out to this little guy… poor little mite. I don’t know the full story but am now looking for it.

Concrats on the feature! Well deserved, what a beauty this cat is! How is Jordy?

Craig, after I posted that, I went and read the whole story… and I confess to having cried as I read. I have two cats, (I have ahd many over the past 40 years): when they get sick, its just heartbreaking, and when they go over the rainbow bridge, even more so. I felt your pain, and Jordy’s. I’m glad I have had the opportunity to visit here and meet the both of you.

Jordy story brings me to tears. Thank you for being there for him and doing all the work to do for the helpless. Thanks to people like you they are not hopeless.

Congratulations on being featured in the For the Love of Cats group!!

He is a beautiful cat, I save so many cat’s life when i was young, cat’s have amazing characters, and none of them are the same…

Ohhhh he just precious… what happened? I would love him!!

What happened to your baby. You should put his story up..

He is still a beautiful furry little friend.

Don’t know what happened, so I’m on my way to find out on your Profile.
Jordy is such a beautiful cat, he looks so lovely and tender. Best wishes. :)

He is so beautiful! I’m so sorry to hear all of his troubles. I cried and cried as i read what happened to him. I pray he lives to his old age.

It broke my heart when I read about Jordy’s story! He is such a brave little kitty! I am so glad that the people helped you to save his life!

I’m so sorry to here this! It’s going to be tough on you. Just remember you will always have three (if not more) things:
1: The MEMORIES of Jordy and You
2:Photos of Jordy (and You)
3: The Support of you Family and the Cats and Dogs that you have now.
And I guess I guess i should have said FOUR.
4: The support of Redbubble and me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jordy! :~
Let’s pray for a Miracle. :)

Hope Jordy is still well

So sorry, don’t know you but when I saw this photo and felt in my heart how sad, yet he looks so beautiful. Hope all goes well, I hate to see that animals are ill or that something tragic happened to them! They bring so much joy to us! Hope your fund drive went well and it continues to.Jordy is beautiful :)

Craig, I’m sorry if my above comment was too much :{ I hope that Jordy is well. :}

he is so beautiful. its beautiful of you to have him up here too. xx

Craig, How is Jordy? JB

This is tearing my heart apart!
I hope he is still doing well.

He is a beautiful cat.
Obviously he is meant to be here still. An angel.

Aw poor love. We had a cat who was white – they’re notorious for getting cancer of the eye, ear and nose – and he died of cancer of his ears and face. They do need help but I can’t help it – I feel sad seeing this. Too much intervention? Ah well, bless you for loving him :-)

He is, he’s got that hard, staunch look about him now; the girls will go wild!

My heart is crying for Jordy, I am so sad for him and you of cause also, I have a extreme big heart for animals and am a volunteer for the local NSPCA here a NO KILL SHELTER, please add this to the Paws n Claws group I want everybody to see Jordy and how much you love him!

I am so glad that you added Jordy, he is truly one amazing cat Craig and you are one heck of amazing person. I am so happy that Jordy is doing fine and you have to make sure that you add some more images of him to share with all of us.
A beautiful relatioship between the 2 of you that I will cherrish for the rest of my life!

Well Craig, Susanne told me to come take a look at the photo and story that was added to our group. I am here, I went and read it all…WOW! I am now sitting here with tears streaming down my face. I too have a soft spot in my heart for any and all animals from God. I am so glad Jordy is doing well now and but, my amazement is of you. I am sending prayers for Jordy to continue to stay well but most of all I am sending prayers for you to stay strong. You are an amazing man to have gone thru all of this for Jordy. I am in hopes that you received lot’s of help financially and have not put yourself into a situation that hurts you. I understand having to go thru finances like this for a “family member” just so you don’t “think” later. It has helped me once and it has not a 2nd time, but if we do not take that chance and at least take that chance we will never know. I am glad you did because not Jordy is still with you hopefully until he dies of old age. He is a beautiful being…and why you thought he was ugly at first I don’t know but I’m glad your mind changed quickly… LOL God bless both of you. I will say my prayers for you both and keep you in them. Please, please keep us informed of Jordy’s condition and daily dwellings so we may watch his happy life that was given to him by an AMAZING man! Please keep us informed on your situation as well and if ever you need more help, please let this amazing group of people know in this group as they have hearts that will melt your soul. God Bless Craig!!!

Hello I remember this little kitty Craig, was he on Flickr too? Sooo glad he is doing well, what a little angel. Bloody great to see im again and to be in contact with you again too xx

I’m glad he’s on the mend. I have a white kitty with black spots who had to have an eye removed due an incurable infection – so my heart goes out to you and Jordy.

wonderful image

This is heartmelting, wonderful image

Just read your whole blog. Overwhelmed and crying my eyes out for all you and this precious creature have been through. You will both be in my prayers. There is nothing more beautiful than the love I sense here. Straight from my heart, all the best. Love, Shar xoxo

Omigosh…that is one patched pussycat…!!!
How this picture and your story of true love and devotion tugs at my heartstrings, Craig…I want to take this tough little guy in my arms and hug him!

i’m so, so happy to know Jordy had the surgery and is doing good! i can’t look at his photos without remembering my little Yoda, who had the same disease, but at the time there was just so much i could do…
brave Jordy, welcome to each new day!
you are amazing Craig, i do admire you.
