That is my hope. The sand is pouring out of the hour-glass faster than
it is running in.
I sent e-mails to all local rescue groups but have heard nothing back.
It's a holiday weekend. Maybe in a few days. I have lived my life in a
full way. Rascal and Missy deserve a chance to live their lives too.
There must be a "Soul-Match" out there somewhere. Who ever takes Missy
and Rascal home with them will be walking off with a spiritual and
emotional and intellectual Goldmine.
We shall patient wait.

Again, I'm afraid I can be of little help, but I discussed your
situation with a co-worker who is a rescuer. If you get no response
from the net (which I doubt because we immediately fell in love with
your brother and sister), she suggested you contact a rescuer in
Florida. Legitimate rescuers will see that they stay together and get
a good home. Peace to you.

Missy & Rascal Say Hello.
______________________
I will "cut to the chase." I am dying. I have a terminal
illness
and must find a Loving home for my 2 soulmate cats. Missy & Rascal:
Tampa, FL - They are very sweet, affectionate and fully
house-trained,
spayed, neutered with all their shots. They are both quite healthy,
with
no medical maladies of any kind. I Need to try to keep them together
as
they are very strongly bonded to each other.
Both Missy & Rascal have been raised as indoor cats. Missy (4
yrs.
old) is female, very petite, effeminate, dainty, affectionate grey
tabby
with exceptional markings; very attached to Rascal. When I see Missy
prance about in her very dainty way, I think of a very young little
girl
in pigtails, bouncing around in her innocent way. That describes
little
Missy. Rascal (6 yrs old) a male, is just like a Teddy Bear, loves
to
hug, very touchy-feely. Rascal looks after his baby sister (not
biological sister) and they are both inseparable. Both were strays I
took in, but they have given me more than I have given them.
Both are very conscious critters. They have Lots of toys and Cat
Trees to go with them. They love their toys and Cat Trees and
beanbag
beds. These are two Very Special little critters who deserve a Good
Loving home when Daddy goes away. Their Daddy will be at peace if he
knows these little ones are safe and secure in a Good, Loving home.
There are a number of websites designed to help console
bereaving
PET OWNERS who have lost their beloved pet. But I would like to
suggest
that bereavement is bereavement. Such Loss and Suffering is also
felt
by critters who have suddenly and inexplicably lost their owner.
Missy &
Rascal are so profoundly bonded to their Daddy. Their beds are right
near their Daddy's bed. They follow him everywhere. Never has a day
gone
by that he did not recognize, in some way or gesture, their
existence
... their 'Being.' They will not understand what happened to him ...
why
he went away and left them. Their bereavement and confusion will be
immense.
So it occurred to me that these two mutual, yet inverse,
circumstances Could Help To Heal Each Other at a time of profound
sorrow
and loss for both. No critter can ever take the place of the beloved
pet
a pet owner has lost. And no one can really take the place of
'Daddy'
for Missy & Rascal. But imagine how a bereaving pet owner might be
able
to intuitively console Missy & Rascal in their time of profound
sorrow,
loss, confusion and bereavement. And imagine how Missy & Rascal, by
some
strange spin of spiritual instinct, might help the profoundly
bereaving
pet owner . . . because each is suffering from the same sense of
loss,
of emptiness, of sorrow and confusion. Each is sensitive to the
other's
plight by virtue of being 'in that same place' themselves. Animals
Know
Heart! Missy & Rascal are 2 very sensitive, conscious Beings.
Perhaps there is a way in which sorrow can help heal sorrow ...
a
way in which emptiness can help fill emptiness? Perhaps there is a
way
in which Missy & Rascal could help heal the suffering of a bereaving
pet
owner who has lost a dear pet ... where a bereaving pet owner could,
in
turn, help Missy & Rascal in their time of great need and profound
loss
and immense confusion.
If not a bereaving pet owner -- perhaps there is someone out
there
who is sensitive to the dilemma I have described here, who can help
make
sure Missy & Rascal have a good, safe and secure Loving home
Together.
After all the time we have spent together, they deserve something
more
than an Animal Shelter and "The Blue Juice."
