Congratulations and your great find of a Centennial Featherweight. So glad the people were willing to reduce the price for you. They could tell you were a good person with a caring heart due to the work you do with the kitties. Thank you for caring for them. I love cats too and have 2 spoiled fur babies that I adopted. Keeps life interesting. You will get your machine going. They are a wonderful little machine. Enjoy her.
