Absolutely. I adopted Max and Speckles from a family who could no longer keep them because of their travelling jobs. For the first few years, I would send them pictures and keep them up to date. Then they dropped out of sight for about 4 years...don't know why. Finally after sending tons of emails, they finally responded not giving any excuse for their absence but now they in Oliver, BC which is about a 4 hour drive from me.

To make a long story short, I spoke to Speckles' biological Mom on the day that Speckles made the trip to the bridge. We both shed some tears and I let her say good-bye as she loved Speckles first. Since then, we've emailed about once a month with updates.

BTW, the night I loaded both Max and Speckles in my car (9 years ago now), I gave the couple each a big hug and promised that they would both always know the whereabouts of their precious kitties. I've never broken that promise.
