    Ack!!! Please don't think that, that's not the way we feel at all. I knew you had chosen, have to choose, the cats that are most adoptable to the general public and I'm sorry that didn't come across in my post. What I was thinking at the time of posting was that you would soon be able to add these two to your montage of adopted fosters.

    That aside, do you think the ones Laura and I mentioned do have a chance to be adopted?

    I really don't know. But at least for each cat we can pull out of the shelter will reduce the need to euthanize any of the others.

    I would never criticize anyone for doing the work you all do. I was just making the comment that I would, if I could, take in those older ones that most people pass up.... I know they would cost more as they age and most would not want to take that kind of responsiability.... they want a pet that will be around forever. I would love to have a "retirement home" for the elder ones to live out their final days.

    Beings that I am becoming more and more elder myself, I would be afraid to take on the younger ones..... The answer to that is to take in the seniors! I would leave the younger ones to YOU younger ones!

    Foster kitty update

    That's great news, Jen! What lucky kitties to have you as their foster. Can we see some pictures once everyone settles in?

    Could you be convinced to take Ellie too?
    She's so scared there.

    I know you can only take a set number, and I love you for taking in those you can. You are an amazing person.

    I feel so helpless, no means to help out... and my husband would kill me, as there is no way I'd let a kitty go after I had it for even a day.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    I was talking with Kathy about them, when I dropped Blossom off for PetSmart (she is NOT happy there and BIT a woman who tried to hold her... how many ways can you say "Blossom doesn't like to be held and she bites.") So, don't know how long she will stay at PS, lol. She's a fiesty little shit, and needs to be able to romp. I was hoping she'd get to be in the big cage, cause there she can climb.

    Kathy asked if I'd take another FIV, but I can't until I get some of the non-FIV kitties adopted. If I take all FIV and no one gets adopted, then I can't taken any cats at all!! I wish more people would take FIV+ kitties. They're just as sweet as non FIV kitties, and many of them are total lovebugs!!
