I Made A Tough Decision

[Logan]

You are a caring person, Gary. This is why we all care for you the way we do, plus the reason that you are sad at the loss of Pouncette and the babies. But your decision was wise and right. I do hope you will be able to know how things go with them. And thankfully you have such wonderful companions to keep you company and heal your heart.

You are one of the sweetest, most loving individuals on PT. You have done a wonderful thing for those babies. Thank you.

THE SAD THING,IS THAT I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN AN UPDATE,ON ANY,OF KARINAS KITTENS,AND I GOT,TIRED,OF ASKING.
I WOULD,LIKE TO FIND OUT,HOW THEY ARE DOING,AS I PLAYED,WITH THEM,AND GOT,TO KNOW THEM.I DONT WANT,TO STALK,THIER GUARDIANS,JUST KNOW,THAT THEY ARE ALL RIGHT,AND SEE,WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE NOW.PRAYING,THAT ICAN KEEP,IN TOUCH,AND POUNCETTE,AND KITTENS,ARE DOING WELL.

What a wonderful thing to have done. Not only did your kitties go to a good home but they are going to become famous too!!! Don't be sad, be proud that you had the courage to do the right thing for momma and babies. I congratulate you!!

You did the RIGHT thing, Gary. Don't be too hard on yourself. You gave those kitties a wonderful chance at life!

Gary -

The pain in your heart is a measure of how big your heart is; only someone who truly loved Pouncette and her kittens could do whats best for THEM and send them to a home where they would be cared for, loved and be 'only' cats, despite loving her yourself.

You were there for her when no one else was, and put her happiness and needs first. It takes a big and unselfish person to do that.

hugs -

Gary, from all your posts that I've read since coming here you should be feeling very proud of yourself for doing exactly what Pouncette would want - a loving man to help her in her time of need and someone wonderful enough to let her and her babies move on to a fantastic new home - Well done!!!! I just wish all lost babies were lucky enough to find their way to you

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Don't feel sad, Gary . You have done such a great thing ofr Pouncette and her kittens!!!!

GARY, THE HARDEST THING ABOUT LOVE IS LETTING GO, AND IN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES YOU DID WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR THE LITTLE FAMILY. BE SURE AND GIVE THE VET WHO TOOK ON POUNCETTE AND KIDS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS NOW THAT YOU ARE ONLINE. MOST EVERYONE HAS A COMPUTER, AND THIS WAY WITH LUCK YOU'LL GET UPPYDATES ON MAMA AND BABIES. POUNCETTE MAYBE STRESSED OUT FOR A SHORT WHILE, BUT IN THE LONG RUN SHE'LL BE MORE CONTENT NOT HAVING TO GUARD HER BABIES AGAINST THOSE NOSY FOUND CATS! (((((HUGS))))) TO YOU FOR BEING SO KIND.

If their new momma is writting a paper about the experience just think of the possibility of educating so many others to the "stray cat" situation. Actually Gary, to the whole spay/neuter/innoculate/protect/care situation of all strays. You did well Gary.

Well, I can't think of anything I can add, everyone else has said everything so eloquently, I echo everyone's words. You might like to think of yourself now, Gary, not only as the Found Cat's Hotel but as having a Maternity Wing, and you are the Midwife (Midhusband If I wasn't so far away, I'd drive over and give you a big hug, if I could find you (just look for a porch with cat dishes on...)I'm sure if you send that vet a nice thank you card or a posy of flowers you will melt her heart (which is surely as big as yours) and she will feel impelled to stay in touch with you. Anyway, keep an eye on that porch, I'm sure someone will be along soon in need of help, either short-stay or long-stay (and either short-haired or long-haired )

POUNCETTE,WILL BE ALL RIGHT.SHE HAD A TOUGH LIFE,BEING A DECLAWED STARRY CAT,HAVING,TO FIGHT,THE MUCH BIGGER TOME,FOR HER DINNER.I REMEMBER HER,AS A SHADOWY PRESSENCE,THEN EVENTUALLY,LIKE SCRAPPY 2,SHE DID,WHAT WAS BEST,FOR HER BABIES.
WHEN WE WERE ALONE,SHE WAS SUCH A GREAT CAT,AND WE GOT,TO BE VERY CLOSE,AS I OFTEN KEPT HER,IN THE SPARE BEDROOM,TO AVOIDFIGHTING,I WISH,THAT I HAD KNOWN,THAT SHE WS WITH KITTEN,BUT AFTER,ALL SHE WASDECLAWED.
AT LEAST,SHE DID NOT HAVE FIP,OR WORMS.
SHE SHOULD BE FINE,NOW,THAT SHE IS A REHOMED STARRY.

I couldn't have said it better. With moist eyes, I too think you did the right thing, even though it hurts now. You have these wonderful pictures of them to remember them by.

Pouncette trusted YOU and your home to give birth to her babies in. That right there proves to me that you are a good man, but then I already knew that!!

[moosmom]

Gary,

Take a look in Pouncette 2's eyes. She definitely loved and trusted you to care for her and you did.

Nuff said!! (that picture of her and her babies is making my eyes leak, and I'm still at work!!!)
