Heard from Queenscoopalot?

I'm alive..but been going through tough and heartbreaking times.I've been rescuing street waifs as always (it's in my blood) and had a lot of deaths last month due to an 'unexpected delivery' of a sweet tom cat that brought pnuemonia in. And at the worst possible time. A mama cat I found very pregnant gave birth a few days after rescue, and 5 of her 6 babys died of pnuemonia. The love of my life and multiple special needs Thumbelina (aka Dancin' Dolly) died from likely congestive heart failure, and I've been in a very depressed mood since. She survived beyond my expectations, but to have her go so fast, and without any warning, put me in a very dark and deep hole. She was multiple special needs, radial hypoplasia, megaesophagus, and a severe heart murmer...she had it all, but I miss that drippy nose, and our morning games where she'd watch my eyes to see if I was waking. On mornings I could sleep in, I'd tease her and open one eye a tiny bit an she get so excited and the nose rubs~~~~ She'd give me sooooo many drippy sweet nose rubs. She died so fast I didn't even have a chance to get out of bed, and get her to the vets (but I know in my heart they could have done nothing) I'm still kicking my friends.(Edit...not kicking friends, but kicking lol)! I'm a tough old chick............. Love ya all, and miss ya too!

So sorry to hear about your losses. Poor little Thumbalina. She was special.

I've been trying to upload one of my favorite pics of my little "Dancing Dolly" Thumbelina, but am not having much luck *sigh* I've missed you all, and will try to pop in more often. With Winter looming, there's so many areas I have to deal with regarding kitties. No such thing as 'kitten season' around here...there will always be litters needing trapping and safe haven from the streets. Every nook & cranny is filled here, and a few other foster homes I've packed as well. But I always manage to find someone to take on the overflow luckily.
