Thank you all so much for the warm welcome!

jazzcat, krazyaboutkats, and Felicia's mom - thank you so much for the good wishes; we need all we can get. Like you, jazzcat & krazyaboutkats, I'm at my limit; I found out the hard way that four in this house just doesn't work when I fostered my married son's cat last summer. (Linus had started attacking my then-3-year-old grandson and had to be rehomed, which was done very successfully. ) Little Boy Blue will stay at the vet's until at least next week; hopefully, his fur-ever mom will be found before then. I"m just using that to buy some time.

Bonnie just called me a few minutes ago; the little guy tested negative for FIV/FeLV and has been neutered. They're holding off on the rabies vaccination until they're sure he's old enough. He is frightened (who wouldn't be?), so he needs time to learn to trust - although I did see Bonnie, the day I took him there, hold him upside down like a baby & rub his belly. If I walked toward him, though, he started to panic. I keep remembering how he mewed when he heard me coming into the barn - and again outside my living room window. He certainly was asking for help - but is a bit afraid. I just want to be real honest about him because I so want him to have a loving home with someone who understands cats. (Which seems to be about everyone here. )

Perhaps Laurie *will* be interested - and she's certainly close enough that transportation would lbe easy. There is help with transportation costs if need be, thanks to a cyberfriend in Texas.

Felicia's Mom - I feel so bad for you, that you are not allowed to have feline companionship in the home. My name is on the list for a retirement village, although I don't intend to move for years yet - but the thing that really sold me on this particular community was when I found out that my cats are welcome.

Thank you all again for your good wishes and anything you can do for Little Boy Blue; ;I am so very grateful.
