Missy, my heart goes out to you on this difficult decision that you have to make, but like the others, I am behind you 100%.
To make such a long flight and long layover would be so traumatic for Boomer, knowing the type of cat that his is.
You are such a GREAT pet owner to put his welfare first. I know you will find the best home for him.

Prayers going out to your hubby, Paul, that he stays safe and prayers for you that you have the strength and faith to get you through these trying times.

I just read your post Debbie and this is such FANTASTIC news that Carol will be able to be with Missy and Tyler on such a long flight. This will make it so much more easier for the both of them.

YYYAAAYYYY that Dennis will be able to see his grandson for the first time.

(((((HUGS)))))) and prayers for everyone.
