I must give up my cats.

[Beauty17]

Dear Nancy -

I am so sorry for all your troubles. This has to be a very, very difficult time in your life, with so many problems to resolve. All I can say is that I care, and I will be glad for you when you have found some resolution that will bring you as much peace as possible. Peace is possible, once you have come to a decision that you know is the best you can possibly do, given the circumstances - and *that* is what I wish for you.

[Lobodeb]

Prayers for you and your health. I can't imagine the pain you are going through both physically and emotionally.

I also pray that you find the best solution for everyone involved.

Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear of your situation and poor Felicia. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you can take her to your new home so she can see out her twilight years with you or a sanctuary can provide a home for her. Sending you lots of {{{hugs}}} and hope to hear some positive news.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my gosh. Nancy, I am SO sorry to hear you have been put in such a difficult position. I will hope and pray that everything works out and you are able to either bring Felicia with you, or at the very least find an alternate home for her. I just can't imagine the heartbreak you must have gone through to come to this decision.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'm sorry to hear that you will not be able to keep both of your cats with you.
I'm glad that Beau will have a new home and that you will be able to visit him.

Sending hugs your way, I know this can't be easy for you.

I haven't felt like being on Pet Talk lately.

The cats and I are still in the old apartment; the new one is being painted.

A friend (Kathryn) is going to keep Felicia for me while I move and get settled in. If I still can't keep her there, Kathryn said she will help find her a home.

Oh, that's good anyway. But we all, of course, hope Felicia can stay with you.

May the Lord help you through this difficult time in your life. And remember, we here at Pet Talk care about you. Bless your friend who will help Felicia. Take care and please try to stay in touch (we worry, you know)
