Flea (aka Fee-Fee)
Location: Billings, Montana, USA
My girlfriend and I brought Fee-Fee home from the pet store when she was eight weeks old. She soon developed a respiratory problem and one of her lungs collapsed. She stopped eating and the vet gave her little chance of surviving. I spent 8 years as a corpsman with the Marines, yet my military hardened heart, ached for this precious little kitten as she struggled for life. She began to respond to the treatments and started eating. Not long after, she was speeding around the house. I suffer from military related mental health problems and the medications offer some relief. But, nothing soothes my soul, as much as, Fee-Fee. Life would not be as bearable without her.

Fee Fee must be an Angel sent to care for you, (and you for her).
Adorable!! I am glad she can help with the mental health issues. Thank you for your service.
Hiya, Billings,
Glad to have you back among us, Doc! If anything can help you regain your bearings, it will be that beautiful little Fee-Fee of yours. Just take things one day at a time: Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Hang tough, stay cool, and keep on keeping on. Semper Fi.
My guy sends his greetings; he’s a retired Seabee (EOC), and carried a few lumps off the field too. Drop us a line sometime; we’d love to hear from you. AG2
Thank you for your service! May you and little FeeFee long be able to support and heal one another! Blessings!

FUZZ is a survivor, and so are you.
Thank you SO MUCH for your service! We appreciate you! Sounds like you and Fee-Fee were meant for each other!
Thanks Doc!
Semper Fi.
Your story is both heart breaking and heart warming. Thank you for your military service. I’m glad Fee-Fee recovered from her illness and is now helping you heal. She’s a beautiful kitty. ^ ^
As a fellow veteran I know too well what you are going through as I too have PTSD. Animals have been proven to help recovering vets. I have several cats of my own and they help with trust issues. So glad:) that Fee Fee made it! Thank you for taking such good care of her. Something you may want to get into is mindfulness training. It helped me a lot in several areas. Thank you for your service dude and keep soldiering on! Give Fee Fee a snuggle for me and some treats. God Bless!
Thank you for your service; all vets should get a free pet.
She is a sweet angel.. cats are a great comfort. 🙂
God Bless You, Sir.
And Fee Fee too
God Bless Her Little Heart! She needed you and you needed her. So glad she is doing well and is our special little star for the day. Wishing you many many many years together!
As a friend says, “Cats are angels on Earth.”
What a great story and photo. Thank you for sharing. I think we all feel a little “saved” by our cats. That’s why this kitten site is so great. I fwd the link onto others all the time and tell them this site keeps me sane. Thanks for your service.
Bless you for your service and helping Fee Fee. It seems that when we help others, many times we are the ones who benefit the most.
Thank you for all of your sacrifices for your country, and not giving up on your sweet kitten…….you are each others blessing.
First…THANK YOU for serving your country and us! It is amazing how comforting having someone to love is and knowing that they depend on you and you them. You and Fee Fee needed each other .. she fought like a Marine to make it through her ordeal much like you did yours and now you have each other for MANY years to come….GOD BLESS you both
Thank you. A precious kittah melts the most hardened heart. I know because I am owned by two furballs. FeeFee had a mission and wasn’t going to give up. I hope you and FeeFee have many happy, loving years together. Happy Caterday, FeeFee!
thank you for caring so deeply for wee Flea; you will both heal one another. I wish you all the best may you and enjoy many, happy loving and healthy years together 🙂
All the best to both you and Fee Fee. Cats can sometimes be even better than medication.
A beatuiful kitten and a beautiful story. Nothing soothes the soul quite like the unconditional love of an animal friend. You were there for each other. You helped her through her troubles, and she in turn is helping you. May you and she have a long and happy life together. 🙂
Thank you, thank you for all you have done, for your country and for Flea. May you have many hours of peaceful joy in her.
May you always heal each other. Thanks for your service and for caring about this tiny kitty.
I’m a fellow veteran, as is my husband. My favorite picture of DH is of him in uniform, holding our baby cat Gezer close to his cheek. Gezer is actually the same “blonde” shade (or cream, to be more technical) as your Fee-Fee 🙂 Take care, of yourself and that precious flea!
Fee Fee is adorable! 🙂 It just goes to show all of us “Mean ol’ toughened veterans” are just a bunch of compassionate ol’ softies inside! LOL!
Thank you for your service. I’m so glad you have the joy of a cat’s love. The wonderful thing about kittens is they improve with age! All the best to you and yours.
You and Fee-Fee are both survivors. May you be blessed with many years of love.
Thanks for your service! I use them all the time! You have a real pretty cat to help!
Fee-Fee and you are purrfect together, it sounds like you are good for each other’s souls. She is adorable!
Thank you for your service!
God bless you sir for your service to our country. Little Fee Fee has been sent your way by guardian angels. Bless her little heart. A pet’s love is unconditional.
