Wendy, thank you for raising those kitties and playing with them and all the other things you did. I just adopted a cat today, and she is so wonderful because of someone like you.

It is hard. You have a loving heart!

I was just about to write a big "THANK YOU" to Debbie for the waving kitty. I looks exactly like one of my babies from last year, Tigger, that I bottle raised. I just got back from taking up another little one, Lucky, and saw my other babies. As soon as I walked in the room, they came to the door of the cage and started meowing. I hadn't even said anything! I got to love them and give them lots of kisses and I got them back. A couple of people saw me loving them and asked some questions. Maybe they will be gone by the time I get back from this weekend up north.

You all will never know what your kind words have meant to me. They have all been so uplifting and loving. I have felt very cared about. Thank you so very much. The members of this board are like family I have never gotten to meet, with a couple of exceptions. You are all very special and I will never forget your kindness. God bless each and every one of you.
Wendy

And that's why I'm not a foster parent...for animals OR humans. I wouldn't be able to walk away -- I'd be one of those little old ladies with the house run over with cats!

You gave them a great start, with love and nurturing care. Now they will be able to have a full life because of your care. You are doing a good thing. I commend you. :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

Your story made me want to cry too! Bless you for what you do...I just get too attached, guess that's why I have two dogs and three cats!

Where would they be without you? I don't do this because I go through the same pain. I love animals and I get attached to them too. You are doing what most people can't or won't do. Please keep it up!
