I just lost my last cat 2 weeks ago... she had a rare type of cancer for cats... I miss her so much. I lost my other one just over 3 years ago to cancer as well. My home is empty now... so sad and want a new little kitty to love, but may just try to see what being "free" is like for now... (except for my fishies.. hehe)...
She is a little beauty... enjoy her while you have her. I could never foster... I would cry every single time they got adopted... It takes a special person to do this. Bless you.

Thanks, honestly it was not my idea to foster, it was the circumstances.
And I could not give them away or neuter them
had to take most of them to a vet.... but at least I spayed the Mom.
As it is I have a respiratory infection and 2 docs have told me to 'get rid of all the cats'. Right. I also got hay fever and BF says to take to the vet the little 2 as well, enough with our current two.
Aww how old were your cats? my oldest one Dolce, (one year and a few months..) almost died as it got an infection as well. I was heart broken, I don't know how I will deal when they leave me they truly love unconditionally.

((Tc)) - Bella's adorable!!
((Tatertot)) so sorry for the loss of your furbaby. My cat, Elvis (the black one in my pics, has fleine HIV (FIV) and leukemia, both are wich fatal. I've been giving him herbal supplements, and he's still fiesty, but he's gotten really skinny. I dread the day when I have to let him go
I think it' AWESOME that you've tken thise kittens under your wing, and are doing as much as you are so that they can go to good and loving homes.
Hugs and prayers!

Well, my "love of my life" cat, the one who passed 3 years ago was my 12th birthday present from my mom (don't worry, I found her and picked her out... it wasn't a "surprise" gift) and she passed away 18 years later, so she was 18 and a half when she passed. I try to comfort myself knowing that I gave her a good life.
The most recent one I rescued from a barn when I was working in farming out east. I heard a little mewing from one corner of a dark barn, then went over there with a flashlight and saw the skinniest, scrawniest, little black "thing" that I ever did see. Skin and bones was NOT a euphamism for this cat... My boss immediately told me that whatever I did I should NOT feed it. So I immediately went into his house and got some cat food and milk and came out to feed it, lol
After about a week I finally took her home with me, and she had been with me for the past 13 years. I don't know how old she was when I found her, but likely about 2 years old. Again I try to comfort myself knowing that she had a better life with me than she would have if I'd have left her in that barn... likely would have been roadkill within a few months...
And you are definitely right, the love of a pet is like no other love around. It is the true definition of "unconditional love". They take large chunks of our hearts with them when they go, but the years of this unconditional love that we get in return are SOOO worth it.
