My conscience is bothering me; good update; 4/22; post #25

Mary, you did the right thing and he sounds like a wonderful cat so I'm sure he'll find his loving forever home very soon. I too have a thing for orangies and although I won't be adopting any more cats any time soon because I'm trying to get down to no more than 2 cats, I do hope to be able to adopt another orange boy some day.

Today's COTD, Joey, looks so much like Curtis except that he's small and Curtis is a big boy but Joey was left behind as well before he was rescued and now has a good home. I dreamed about Curtis last night, that he was snuggling right next to my face in bed. I'll get over this but this is also why I can no longer be in rescue work. It's finally taken its toll on me.

Oh, Mary, God bless you. You have done so much for so many kitties, and you have given Curtis the best chance you could.

Mary-

My thoughts are with you. I've had dreams like this, but they are always about ones that I haven't trapped or tried to catch and can't.

I do what I can when I can and that has to be enough. Although right now I wish I wasn't involved in some things while other things are going crazy but what can you do.

I'm sure he'll find a wonderful forever home soon. It was a no kill shelter, right? So he'll have time to find that right person!

Like others said, you can't save them all, even though we all wish we could. I love big yellow and orange kitties, I'd come to Ohio myself if I could afford another one.

Oh absolutely it's a no kill shelter. They have a special cat room and it's supervised 24/7. They let several cats out of their cages at once to interact w/each other, there are cat condos everywhere, shelves built onto the walls for the cats to climb, a really nice place. But he still spends a lot of time caged, which bothers me so much. If I had turned him over to an adoptive person, that would've been different. It hurt when I turned over LBK but I got over it. b/c he went to a really good home. Turning him over to a shelter is different but it's a good place so I'm thankful for that. His little mew just broke my heart; he seemed so lost.

I hear you Mary. The last time I was at my local shelter to visit Merlin, there was this little orangie boy that demanded my attention the whole time I was there. When it came time to leave I told him that I would have to go and would be back soon. He meowed at me even after I closed the door.

You've heard this before but you can't save them all. What you are doing now is more than I could ever do. Bless you Mary and have faith that he will find a loving home.
