Very well said. Any reason the man couldn't take Curtis in, and leave you out of the loop? For me, I know even seeing them, meeting them, does a job on me.

Sounds like Curtis is young, and loving. He has a good chance of being adopted.

I feel the same way when I see a young Found Cat out there as I know taht I may have to move out of the Hotel in a few years.
And Miquelito and Tubster Panthwer would make things tough on these new comers.

I feel so badly and guilty though that I could not help Ebonite and Golden Rod and that they met such sad fates.

There are two Youngish Orange Cats out there now, and we do love Orange here.
I pray I can help poof them to a Furr Ever Home.

This is why I can't rescue, volunteer at a shelter, or even walk past the animals in cages in Petsmart.
You did what you could Mary - much more than a lot of people would do. He's safe and warm and dry and has food. He could have been completely abandoned and ended up on the streets. Somebody will come along and fall in love with him and take him home, so don't feel bad. You did good girl - again!!!

I'm sorry to hear that these kitties were left behind, but at least the man can take one of them. Curtis sounds like a sweet boy and I'm sure someone will come along and fall in love. Don't feel bad for not being able to take him, he is dry and has food now.

To add to the drama, when I was driving off w/him, the song "It Won't Be This Way For Long" came on. Talk about LES!

Darn - my screen is blurry again..........

Well, I emailed the man that I turned him over to at the rescue place and he has a special fondness for yellow/orange kitties so he said that he would personally oversee Curtis. I feel better about that, at least.
