This is Bear, lovingly called "Bear Bear". He was in need of a new home at the age of 5. Want to know why? Because, and I quote the old owners, "He goes outside and gets fleas!" Well, i never had a problem. Well, except for the fact that he was suppose to be a foster and ended up staying with us for 15 years. Yes, that is right, he lived to be 20.

Jen,

I will say it again "I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!!"

I am so sorry you had to lose Bear. Bear's former owners were clueless. I'm so glad that you had 15 wonderful years with him. And he was so very lucky to have to in his life.

Rest In Peace Precious Bear Bear. Give "moochies" to Casey, aka "Bubba" from his Mama and tell him I miss him terribly.

What a beautiful black Bear! 20 years is great! I can tell you loved him.
When I go to the shelter and read the lame excuses for giving up the pets it really makes me mad. You know there is a cure for fleas! I am glad you gave him a happy home.:)

well at least they didn't just let the kitty go, they brought him to someplace.
but I agree, how totally uncaring, oh cat has fleas, lets dump him! I would hate to see what they would do if their kid got lice.
it makes me mad too, because, animals are so loving, and are living beings. they shouldn't be used as disposable entertainment!
well good for you,Jen, for taking in the kitty.
