Who to adopt (new cat arrived)
 
Back in August I asked for some opinions on deciding on a new cat.
Well, the decision has been some time coming but yesterday I brought
the new kitty home.

Not a shy cat, neither a chronic URI cat, but a senior cat with kidney
and liver failure. Owner died, children brought her to the shelter. She
wasn't in the best shape when she arrived and then caught a URI at the
shelter and stopped eating. We'll see how she does here, at least she
immediately came out of her box and also ate a can of food. If nothing
else, she can have her last days, or weeks, or months in a home instead
of a box at the shelter. Right now the guest bedroom is hers, but
hopefully she will get used to my cats so she can enjoy the rest of the
flat and the yard.

Thanks for your opinions.

Well, in my opinion you rock.

What a lucky cat!

It is GREAT that she ate right away!

I would love to see photos.

What a wonderful thing to do! Thank you so much for caring enough to adopt
a special needs kitty.

The world would be a better place if there were more like you. Purrs
that she will soon join the other cats and enjoy her life. MLB

God Bless you for doing this for the little angel! She will definitely
reward you with deep gratitude for taking her home! We need more
people like you! Good luck. How old is she?

Bless you for taking in this cat and for taking care of it in its
older age. I do not think you will regret it.

That's fabulous! It's a great sign that she's willing to eat so soon.
She's probably overjoyed at being in a home, rather than a cage! She's so
lucky to have found you!

Oh bless you! I used to run a rescue that placed orphaned older
kitties - ones whose owners died. They always will have a soft spot in
my heart.

Perfect! That's great that the shelter had her for adoption -- some
don't even try with older, sick cat.

I love older kitties. I think they are grateful to have a nice retirement.

You have built up a big stack of karma for this one...
