    ...........and this is the very reason why I don't foster!! I think Tim is the same way, he is a big softee but won't admit it. Remember Yoshi's brother, Peanut??? TIM was the one that wanted him!!! (I still think if we did adopt him, he would be alive today )



    Congratulations on your new addition!!


    I'm sure Kevin is happy about this decision also!!

    Well there's always a chance Tim might still want Chowder!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I'm so glad that you bowed to what was obviously meant to be. The ones that bond with us that instantly and intensely, in my experience, don't come along very often. He decided very quickly that you were his and really let you know it.

    I've failed because the two times out of three that I fostered, I accidentally ended up with seriously ill kittens - no one here is going to blame me for hanging on to them, I'm sure?! Although, Ashley's two brothers are not at all sick, but she needed company and they needed to stay together, and so...... That means that out of 8 kittens that I've fostered, only two left my home. Dammit! I'm proud to be a failure.

    All I can say is it 's a good thing Tracey has her plane reservations or Ziggy would stay too! It is still beyond me how anyone could dump these sweeties.
