    Are you over your pneumonia?
    I had it 2 times before about 15 years ago but never got it again.Just strep thoat from time to time.And now that I'm not working(With the public),I never get sick anymore.But having severe back problems is making it hard to live.I need Mike to help with the cats.At least the litterboxes.
    I hope your all better.That's a rough illness to get over.
    were you able to get a neighbor or friend to help?

    Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy

    Not yet. I go back to the Dr. on the 8th and go from there. I'm very susceptible to pneumonia and years ago had the pneumonia shot. They said after I'm over this bout I will need a booster and then again when I'm in my 60's. I even had the flu shot this year but have been sick off and on since before Christmas. It's been a tough one this time. Seems I just keep getting things over and over again. I'm even taking vitamins!
    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

    Oh geez...I know your soooo worried too about the cats...But please worry more for yourself.Is their a plan for later for the cats in the park later?When you guys can no longer do it?
    But...like I said...it may be time to just think of yourselve so that you can get better.Your worrying will make you sicker.
    I know....it's so hard to think about it.I wish there was an answer.Maybe you can put an add in the paper or email start a help page at least for the park cats to get others in on it?

    At this point Kevin is able to handle the park cats and most issues with cats at home. This all just got me to thinking about the "what ifs". I know we can get help temporarily, but on a long term basis would be another thing.

    Thanks everyone!

    Lisa,

    First, this is an excellent thread and I appreciate the things that concern you most. Please take care of your health - it is really the only thing of value any of us have

    Second, your concerns about the welfare of your kitties is very unselfish and I commend you for considering their well being. Whatever your decisions, their best interests will be foremost in your mind, of that I am certain

    Hugs and feel better,
    Betty
    Yours in Whiskers

    Oh Lisa, I am so sorry to hear that you have been sick. Prayers on the way that you have a full recovery.

    I can just imagine what it must be like to wonder what would happen to ALL your babies if, and that's a BIG IF, anything should happen to you guys. I often think about that myself with my guys.
