Just one baby that I can have fun with and wants to be snuggled.

Now I am NOT trying to influence you, HONESTLY - but I did want to comment on the above statement. In all my life, I have also never had a kitten. When looking to once again fill our empty nest when our last geriatric died, you know we ended up with TWO kittens and i would never trade that experience! I never knew what fun, love and laughter that kittens could bring to our home. Always before we had older cats, troubled cats or fosters. Having these two babies was pure delight. I know i will never again have a kitten and find so much joy in my plush Dylan that others did not find appealing but that is another story. If you have never raised a friendly, sweet and cuddly kitten, I would wish that you would experience it, just once. I would say foster - but fostering a kitten and giving it up - I have a feeling you would not be able to do that. My two cents. Life is short.

PS You do NOT have a white, black or jellicle in your sig block.....

PPS THANK YOU for all the wonderful shelter pictures I loved them all and I love all the stories and commentary - please keep it coming - I hang on every word!!

Oh CCL, they are all so gorgeous, but this is my favorite one.

I hope and pray that they all find forever, loving homes.
It also breaks my heart to see them in such confined cages.

This is exactly why I had to stop volunteering at the shelter. Just seeing this cats in your pictures makes me want to take them ALL home!! Before we volunteered at the shelter and with TNR, we only had Noah, Noel and Basie...now I have eight cat in just two years!

If you are able to, I would go with a kitten. They are the most easy to introduce into a multiple cat home. My vote would be on those two tuxy twins. Its fun to have kittens, but precious to have two sibling kittens. I love having my two babies...they are great friends.

Keep up your fabulous work at the shelter. Those cats need your love and the effect will be forever for them. Bless you!

Yup, that's why I'm not allowed, because I would bring them all home. And I just can't fit anymore in this appartment. Consequentily, I am glad that where I adopted mine, there were only ever a few at a time, so that I didn't take them all home!

It is so sad to see all those poor , unhappy little faces , all of whom , would make someone a lovely companion animal. I cant stand to go in , as I am way over the limit , by 11 , and have some stryas otside , that I would take in , first. The Found Cats and I are praying that those Cats all get a Furrever Home , and damn the irresponsible Idiots that put them there , in the First Place!

Lisa, you are the cat's "meow", for sure (that's a compliment, by the way). Thank you for taking time to love these precious ones every time you walk in, plus taking pictures for all of us.

Me either Gary ..so thankful for people like Lisa, though!!! Easy for me to sit and sew....when she is out doing the dirty and heartwrenching work I am VERY proud of her!!! And, I know that those kitties she takes time to snuggle have a much better day because of her.

You guys are so sweet but believe me I don't do nearly what a lot of PT people do!! I really enjoy it even though it breaks my heart to not bring them all home. It's nasty work sometimes but the snuggle time makes it all worth it. After I fed, watered, cleaned cages, swept, mopped, and walked a couple of dogs, I took about ten different kitties out of their cages and sat on the floor with each one for a few minutes. I try to spend time with the ones that are alone in their cages before going to the ones that have buddies. It makes you feel so guilty when you can't let them loose to move around and when you have to put them back in the cage but you know so many more are waiting.
Oh! I got the story on Merry and Christmas. Like we were thinking they were dumped on the doorstep of the shelter Christmas eve. Merry was very young and Christmas has always taken care of her. She suckled HIM and he would snuggle her and wrap his paws around her. HE still takes care of her today. This BIG BURLY ORANGIE plays constantly with her, holds her down and grooms her, and always lets her eat her fill before he eats! I pray that they get adopted together! That worries me to death. They are sooooo attached. Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind to bring these two home!!


I might as well go ahead and get divorced now!!

[sirrahbed]

OMG! I love the story about Merry and Christmas!! That is sooooo sweeet. Surely they HAVE to stay together???? Oh please tell me yes They would make sure a perfect cat-family for somebody!! Hours of fun watching the interaction and loving. This is just so SWEET!!!!! I, too, want to come snuggle them all and then bring them home!!! Do you know I checked the map and you are about two hours away - we drove an hour for Dylan - do you know how tempting it is to show up at the shelter after I see these pictures??? Now, tell me it is strictly against the rules to adopt out of state RIGHT?? OK, OK, I'll keep SEWING! I know, when we are crazy old widow ladies, we can live our eccentric lives and take in any cat we see. I have this cat lady on SIMS and her name in Ginia.....*crazed laughter and meows *

well it IS 4 in the morning.....

[catcrazylady]

Sirrahbed I hate to break it to you but NO it is NOT against the rules to adopt from out of state!! Even if it was I would make sure their was an exception in your case!!! Is there room for another orangie in your life that comes with a little gray tabbie tag along??
Lets see...you drove one hour for Dylan and I'm two hours away. You could drive one hour and I could drive one hour and meet in the middle!! The cool thing about these two is you get another Dylan/Peanut Butter and an adorable silly little kitten! The big guy has all the big orangie traits. I have yet to see him extend his claws. He is a SWEETIE!!!!
I know I'm playing on your exhausted senses since you were still up at 4:00 am! Why? That game again??? You will probably be well rested by the time you read this and will have come to your senses but just in case you haven't I will even drive the two hours and deliver them personally!!! You only have three my dear, you have a lot of catching up with me to do!!!
Aren't you sorry you replied to this!!

YES I have been sleeping!!
Geez, did I write that? It must have been someone else....I DID mean it at the time.
BTW...YOU did not fuss about all the reasons why you need a KITTEN. I thought I made a very good plea, too...earlier on this thread!!

What time is it?? What DAY is this? My clock is messed up. Yes, OK, I have been playing the GAME!! I think I also have the flu. I am going back to BED. Everything hurts. WAAAAAAA.
Need sympathy. Where the heck are all my kitty nurses???...going to look for them NOW.
