I'm a cat lover too! I have 8 of them now. All of mine are Leukemia positive so they have special needs. We will love them for as long as God allows. They came from all over and they came with their disease, so we feel like God meant for us to have them and care for them. Two were hanging around outside the local hospice, one was orphaned at birth at a neighboring farm, one was pitched out of a car in front of our house, one we found covered with lice at a stock pond, one was hanging around outside Frisch's for days and days, one we found wandering the church parking lot and one was running around a gas station. The youngest is three and the oldest is 12. We had more, 14 to be exact, but they have passed on. We just lost our 14 year old last Friday. He showed up in our driveway when he was about two. Even though we have always known he was only ours for a time, it was still hard to lose him. God bless and keep you, Shy! We'll see you again one day!
