    Emily the Spoiled,

    Welcome to the Official Foster Failure Club. It's an honor, believe me. Every single one of my cats are and were fosters. Except for Mollie Rose who was my very first cat, long before I knew anything about cats. What a lesson!!!

    As an OFF, you have earned your "wings" by going out of your way to help these precious babies. Congratulations!! It's hard, but someone has to do it.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!

    Thanks everyone, she is an absolute sweetheart (she even waits for me to finish my shower and then hops in the tub to be the first cat to "mark" me after my shower ... while I am still wet).

    Yes, she had lost one eye and only has light sensitivity in the other eye. These were congential so she has no idea what she is "missing". But I already have another blind cat (Ptolemy), so my house is set up for blind cats (i.e. they can climb to most things versus having to jump up).

    See, you CAN take good pics! So now that I know that You will have to keep them coming! Chrissy is a doll and I didn't give her up because I didn't really want her, in fact I wanted her really badly and already had some things for her( that I will be sending to you). It was a very hard decision for me to make because I DID want her so much. I already loved her even though I didn't meet her yet. But I decided not to be selfish and think of what was best for Chrissy. she was already adjusted to where she was and was loved and very well taken care of so I decided to give her up even though it made me sad. I still wsih I had her but I know that she is in good hands.

    But just think of it this way, now you still have a spot in your home for another kitty that needs a home. Emily_the_spoiled didn't know she had a spot, but you did. And that empty spot is sure to be filled with another special kitty needing a home.

    How could you give her up once you held her? Could anybody? LOOK what a little doll she is.

    Congratulations on your failure..

    HA! How does it feel to be a failure?! You've become a member of a very large club, believe me. Most of us on PT, myself included, are proud failures at fostering and we wouldn't have it any other way. Chrissy is wonderful and so are you. Looking forward to more updates as we go along......
    Blessings,
    Mary
