This is a series of diaries highlighting animal rescues around the country and noting and celebrating the work they do to help animals who have no voices but ours to speak for them. I have decided to make this a daily series because there are so many wonderful rescues out there who need human help and weekly just doesn't seem to be enough. I have long wanted to start a rescue but lack the resources or time available to do so right now so this is my attempt to do my part. I hope that these rescues will benefit from the kindness and benevolence of the community here at Daily Kos. They are amazing organizations and worthy of Kossack attention and care. Today's rescue is brought to us by

Does she know all
The meaning of life
The secret behind love
The sagest of guides
Is she the answer
To any problem posed
She sits so serene
What worlds does she know
Can she see past life
When she looks at the sky
She gazes into my soul
With those glowing green eyes
Does she understand
What dark matter is
Is the love that she gives
The greatest of gifts
Some would say she's just a cat
But I know the truth
She's the wisdom of ages
In a purring cat suit

Meet Pawnama. This sleek beauty catches your eye with her stunning black coat. She’s cautious of new experiences, but with a little time and a few soft pets, you can coax her out of her shell.
