Re: I'm Terminally ILL: MIssy & Rascal Need a Loving Home

[onlyThreeCats]

Hello...

I don't usually comment when I don't have much to offer, but just
wanted to say my heart goes out to you - all of you. Unfortunately I
am both too far away, and my small home is cat-full - lovingly so, but
not so we can afford more from such a long distance away right now.

It is touching to see someone who by all rights should be very
occupied with his own troubles care so much for fur-friends. All the
best of luck in finding Missy and Rascal their new loving home. I
hope this group can come through as it often has, and that all members
in and around Florida, or with friends/family there, can help spread
the word and get someone in touch with you. I once helped re-home an
FIV+ cat from San Francisco to a new FIV-tolerant home in Seattle, all
from my computer desk in Southern Ontario, so all is possible.

Peace,

Johanna

I cried when I read your letter. I wish I could help you, but I live in New
Jersey and already have a cat, Samantha, who would not like "company" I
will foward your message to my daughter, Gwen, who lives in Montgomery, AL.
She may know of some agency or person in your area. She has three cats
which she rescued from a kill-shelter in the Atlanta, Ga. area.

Best of luck.

That is my hope. The sand is pouring out of the hour-glass faster than
it is running in.

I sent e-mails to all local rescue groups but have heard nothing back.
It's a holiday weekend. Maybe in a few days. I have lived my life in a
full way. Rascal and Missy deserve a chance to live their lives too.
There must be a "Soul-Match" out there somewhere. Who ever takes Missy
and Rascal home with them will be walking off with a spiritual and
emotional and intellectual Goldmine.

We shall patient wait.

My prayers are with you and all the family. I am much too far away
and in Canada to be of much help, but please keep us all informed.
You should get some response from the Rescue groups as soon as the
holiday weekend is over. I will "hold you in the light."

It sounds promising. We might be able to rent a small truck to get
everythiing out there. They have have two cat trees which you may have
seen at their photo album website. They have lots of toys and a few
different cat beds and beanbag beds to share if you have cats already.

Please write me and tell me about yourself generally. How many cats do
you have now? What are their names? Do you live in a home or
apartment? That kind of thing. Rascal and Missy are very gentle sweet
critters so they will adjust and adapt over time, I am certain.

I look forward to hearing from you.
