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.

hugs

My friend went to the rescue place to check on Curtis today at my request (nagging). He said "Boy, is he ever friendly!". Sigh.

Mary, Curtis is safe, has shelter and food. That is much more than many have, and you made sure he has at least that. He has a chance at a forever home, too. Because of you!

You have to keep telling yourself...Saving them doesn't mean you keep them all, you just do your little(or big) part in ensuring they have a chance.

I still wonder about what ever became of Porch Cats from yesterday.
Whatever became of Tiger^^ Freddy ^^ Catzilla ^^ Humphey^^ and many Porch Cats who came by for meals and have never returned.
Some sadly have become Angels

but some Porch Cats , I still wonder about and pray that they are all right somewhere and are happy.

A woman whose orangie of 14 years died and when she found Curtis, it was an instantaneous match. She said she's going to spoil him rotten. So my big yellow/orange boy has a permanent home. Huzzah!
