RE: 2 more babies to add to the CLS

So sorry for your loss—bad news seems to come in clumps—hoping that good things come your way soon.  And good for youfor taking care of some of these older fellows—too many times, they’re just lost cause nobody wants to give them half a chance….   Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Loesch Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 11:45 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: 2 more babies to add to the CLS   Well, I guess sometimes when it rains it pours.  Early Saturday morning I lost two more of my fosters, both negative.  Red Man was an older orange tabby who had chronic sinusitis and asthma.  He got a pretty bad URI and it went into pneumonia.  Red Man was the sweetest old fella - sometimes he'd wake me up in the middle of the night pawing at my face wanting to be petted.    Mr. Kitty was also an older fella - his previous owner of over 10 years got married and the new wife didn't like Mr. Kitty.  They stuck him in a cage at vet clinic while trying to find a new home and he was so traumatized that the vet said he was feral and needed to be euthanized.  Of course he wasn't the least bit feral, just scared.  He was never a cuddly boy altho he wanted to be in the same room with me but in the last few weeks he started cuddling up with me at night as close as he could get and following me everywhere I went.  He'd been fighting renal failure for some time.  My house and my heart are even emptier than they were last week.
