Good Morning, I am new to this site, but having several positive kitties I would like to have someone to chat with. 2 years ago I brought Joey into my home. He was about 6 months old and quite a character. I kept him in my bedroom to protect the other cats from this disease. I then brought Angela in so he would have a buddy. After that, I seemed to have many gravitate to me. I at one time had 10, all in my bedroom (thank goodness it is big). In all, 13 have made their homes here, with 7 still living and doing well. I am hoping to educate folks, and find homes for positive babies, as I certainly can't take them all.... but haven't said no to one yet. I had Joey for just under 2 years when I lost him. Have had a couple for under a month, but they knew they were loved and I was able to be there for them. I am so sorry that Rossi has passed, but he will be at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you. Thanks for letting me drone on.

The kitty who passed was Rossi. His buddy is Martini -- Martini & Rossi! I have 13 other cats in the house, and would never forgive myself if I somehow introduced the virus into the rest of the population. I do allow Martini to play with another cat (who is an outcast by his own choosing -- hates all other cats except Martini & Rossi), but supervised and with the food and water bowls and litter boxes put away. Also Martini likes to play with/tease the dogs! He is quite the character, and has a real mischievous/naughty streak. Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts about Rossi. We buried him in our yard, so he can stay close.
