You’re right about the old guys! Still working on reuniting Katrina pets with owners and it just makes my day when I can find the owner of an old one! There are so many and its doubly hard for them to go thru so many changes!

Thanks, Chris. And I love the old kitties, even
though I know I may not have them very long. There is just such a
sweetness about them - it is hard to describe, but it just touches my
heart. I have two super-elderly kitties right now, both from the same
kill shelter - Micah and Mem'ry. Both charcoal gray and both kinda
"rickety" when they walk. What a joy they are! 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….

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.
