Oh Susan!
How very sad that you've lost your two sweet older fellas! I am sure
that Mr. Kitty and Red Man are up in Heaven singing your praises. How
wonderful that you were able to make their final home so secure and
loving. Shame on those people that threw Mr. Kitty away like that!
Bless you for opening your heart and home up again and again to these
most deserving souls. You must be one courageous, loving woman to have
the strength to do so.
Thank you so very much, our world is a better place because of your
dedication. People like you give me hope that we are indeed traveling
in the right direction.
Much love to you in your grief,
Nina

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.
