a probable change in lifestyle

[RICHARD]

David,

Sorry to hear about your problems. I hope that what ever happens you can keep your cat by your side.

Things will work out. You have PT prayers on your side!

[Medusa]

David, I wish you well and I surely hope that Marigold can go w/you. Assisted living also may be a stepping stone to something else. You may not need to stay there forever but just until you get your illnesses under control and you don't feel so overwhelmed. Whatever the case may be, know that you're in my prayers and all of PT has your back prayer wise.

Because of documented health benefits of having pets, assisted living places are much friendlier about cats and (small) dogs than they once were. I hope you can find such a place.

David, I'm sorry to hear you'll have to move, but hopefully you can find a nice place where kitties are allowed.

Wishing you the best of luck - and better health!

Oh no David I am so sorry to read this.. I know you will make the right decisions.. Now there is alot of those Living Homes that welcome pets.. So I feel like you will be able to find a place for you & Marigold..

[Pinot's Mom]

David, I'm SURE you will be able to find a perfect place WITH Marigold. Just think of this as another chapter in your life; you'll be much better off for it. I know many people who have transferred to these facilities and their lives are actually more complete because of it. They have a closer proximity to more people and activities that are more accessible, and, because of the number of people, they're able to get to other activities (church, school in some cases, shopping) as a group with provided transportation that accomodates their needs.

You and Marigold will be better than fine! I'm certain! Keep us posted (as I know you will).
