Aleph recovered from his wounds and ready for adoption. (Photo courtesy of Valeria Cordeiro)
When Aleph the cat was rescued from the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he was barely alive.
He lived in the surroundings of a luncheonette, probably because of the scraps people gave him. One day, a customer kicked him on the head, breaking his jaw and nose, and turning him blind in one eye.
Valeria Cordeiro found him bleeding, with difficulty breathing and unable to eat or drink. His condition was so bad I decided not to show his first picture here. It’s too disturbing.
João and Mariana adopted Aleph when he recovered.
Last November the couple got married, and guess who was at the party… Aleph, of course! He was not actually there, but his doll was on top of the wedding cake, beside João’s and Mariana’s dolls.
Take a look at these wonderful pictures of the wedding and the cake taken by Beta Bernardo.
Here are more pictures of the ceremony.

Good News Dani!!!! This kind of News makes us feell stronger and happier!!!!!
Essa história é muito legal. E a Valéria é um anjo que habita terras cariocas: ela é responsável por incontáveis resgates de gatinhos abandonados e/ou maltratados e por sua reintegração em novos lares.
P.S. 1 – Os meus gatinhos me acompanharam no aniversário de 50 anos (ainda não tinha a Bebel). Veja aqui:

P.S. 2 – Um Ótimo 2010 para você e sua família.
Translating: Jussara says "This story is really cool. And Valeria is an angel who inhabits Rio de Janeiro. She is responsible for countless rescues of abandoned/abused cats and for finding them new homes.
PS 1 – My kitties came with me to my 50th birthday party (I didn't have Bebel yet). Check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/felinosespeciais/312...
PS 2 – A great 2010 for you and your family.
Jussara, thank you so much for your comment. Your cake is awesome!! I wish you and you kitties a great 2010!
Jussara, muito obrigada pelo comentário. Seu bolo é um barato!! Eu desejo a você e seus gatinhos um 2010 maravilhoso!
Absolutely beautiful. The story, the couple the cake; all of it just beautiful.
Yeah, I felt so happy when I heard about the whole thing. What a story!
:-)
More Good News , Cora Ronai yesterday adopted 2 baby cats that were saved from the streets by Valeria on Xmas day. She was going to adpt only one, a white baby girl , but when she arrived to get the little girl a baby black boy began to play with her and won her heart. The Consequence of this??? La Famiglia now has two more members!!!! The old ones are not so happy, but they will get used to their new brpther and sister.
That's wonderful, Marcia! I'm sure they'll eventually warm up. My foster here, Bo, is painfully shy, poor thing. But bit by bit he is getting used to all our animals.
:-)
Que linda história. Eu sabia que o Aleph tinha sido adotado e também vi as fotos deste bolo de casamento, mas não sabia que o gato era o Aleph. Isto me emocionou, pois lembro quando a Valéria anunciou que ele estava procurando um lar. Final mais feliz que este, nem em contos de fada!
Translation. Layla says: "What a beautiful story. I knew Aleph had been adopted, and I also saw pictures of the wedding cake, but I didn't know that the cat was Aleph. This brought tears to my eyes because I remember when Valeria announced she was looking for a home for Aleph. Couldn't have a happier ending!
Layla, I'm so glad you knew the story from the beginning! And I'm glad I met Valeria.
Layla, fiquei super contente que vc já conhecia a história! E tb super contente de conhecer a Valeria.
:-)
I love happy endings!
Hi Daniela, Aleph is just adorable! Thank you so much for posting the story. I love your site. :-)
Thank you, Amy! I love your web site, too. Had a great time especially reading the post about Simon's cat. Wonderful!
Daniela
Muito obrigada pela publicação da comovente história do Aleph!
Ele, a Mariana e o João merecem essa homenagem.
bjs
Valeria
Oi Valeria,
Que bom que vc gostou. Trabalho maravilhoso que vc anda fazendo. Muito obrigada! :-)
Daniela, cada vez que a história do Aleph é contada me emociono, pois lembro quando ele apareceu no site da Valéria procurando um lar. Foi um gatinho tão sofrido e agora ele tem um merecido lar feliz. É tão gratificante e assim vejo que vale a pena divulgar, pois assim damos a chance de encontrar um lar feliz para um focinho carente.
Nao tenho palavras pra vcs, tudo isso e incrivel. Muita saude por muitos e muitos anos, para que possa continuar ajudando esses anjos.
love this story! and i LOVE that they included kittty on the cat topper! so cute!
great relief amongst horrible stories of animal suffering all over the globe
I'm so glad someone was there to save that poor kitty! I hope whoever kicked him gets mauled by a Jaguar.
God bless you for rescuing this poor defenseless creature. Funny how these sickos never pick on anyone their own size, or anyone with the ability to fight back. Boo hoo…they were abused as children. Well, guess what… lots of us were, but that should make you MORE compassionate, not less. LOVE THE CAKE AND GOD BLESS YOU (if there is a God, surely you are blessed).
