But I thought my purpose was to help cats, and within a month I found my two boys, then 8 year old Pirate and 7 yo Eddy.Â* Less than 6 months later came two kittens EJ and Bebe. It's hard with 4 cats. Costs are high.

They obviously need you, and I think maybe you need them too. They aren't replacing your previous cats, but they can help fill the hole left by their absence. |

My oldest, Pirate, or Pi as we call him does have special needs and needs lifetime medication and also EJ, one of the kittens seems to be afflicted with some kind of colitis and a GI specialist says the meds he's on will probably be for life. If they'd been adopted by someone who isn't willing to give them the attention they need they would certainly suffer. I love them all! They give me reason to live. -- bill_n |
