The two girls that I went up to VT to get when my dear friend Clare passed away, were quite traumatized by the whole situation. My friend Kerry who volunteers at the Meriden Humane Society (a no kill shelter) took them. We tried so desperately to find a home that they could be together in, but that wasn't possible. Freckles, the daughter (age 16) got adopted 3 weeks ago to a wonderful home. Kit-Kat (age 17), however, is still there. I go every week to spend time with her and pray every night that someone will take her. I'm up to my limit at this time. She was in the sick room with a URI but is doing well now.
