Lucky Rosalie, after you found her. That's wonderful. So many people are so lacking in compassion--if it wasn't for the support this group gives me I'd be permanently in despair, I think. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BONNIE J KALMBACH Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 1:41 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: euthanizing kitties for bathroom habits
That's how I came to adopt my orange girl Rosalie. She had a BIG sign on her cage at the Humane Society that said "Litter Box" problems. When I read her surrender form, the people had written that they cleaned her litterbox ONCE A WEEK! I've had this charming playful bouncy girl for four years now and she had hasn't had any accidents at all.
