Tomorrow is moving day for Diana.

Thank you both. I am spending my last day with Diana and Cinnamon will
go soon after. I'm not happy and Diana seems alright. I thought she
knew something. I told Her and Ryan yesterday and I wasn't sure they
understood, but last night, I woke up to find them curled up beside me
on the bed purrring loudly. Ryan never does that. His spot is on the
chair beside the bed. I think they knew something is about to happen.

We're
trying to keep Diana and Ryan together and place them in a new

to
take Cinnamon when my new housemates said they'd take one. In the
meantime, the lady who runs the cat rescue network sais they will have
a hard time placing Ryan because he is so big. and they have only two
places for single cats and not one place for two cats. So she will
not take Ryan since she's worried that he will sit in the foster homes
and never be adopted. So she wants Diana in one home and Cinnamon in
another an me to take Ryan. Then she thinks that Cinnamon would go
first because he's a long haired, polydactile beautiful cat. So Ryan
&
Diana wind up split anyway and Cinnmon is off on his own. Also Diana
is going to a foster home with a dominant male so she will have to be
kept in one room separate from him till they get used to each other.
Diana will be miserable all alone and she will loose Ryan & everybody
she knows at the same time. It's a mess right now. I hope we can
improve on that will happen.

Hi dear friends,

Diana
this
weekend and so I said Sunday.
I am getting help from a some good hoomans and the foster
home is
only
temporary. If we can find a good home for them to be together it
can still happen.
Yesterday, I told Diana and Rayn about what was going to
happen,
and
how they'd have to be split up. I used simple english wondering if
they'd understand any of it. Their eyes said they knew something
was wrong.
In the middle of the night I find Diana and Ryan curled up

on
my bed beside my legs, purring as loudly as I've ever heard them
purr. Ryan hardly ever comes on the bed and then only for short

Arrangements are almost changing by the day and I and

Thanks. This is very hard, It is important that Ryan & Diana are
together and at first they told me they would be, but now they won't,
at least while Diana is in the foster home. It's like they are
maximizing the agony of this for all the cats. I really hate
participating in this, but I can't think of any other way.

Do you think there is ANY way at ALL that your friends would let you

staff know about this? Is there any kind of temp job that you could take
that would at least avoid the move until you can buy more time? After

staff know about this? Is there any kind of temp job that you could
take that would at least avoid the move until you can buy more time?
After Diana goes to the foster home, can you continue to see her?

I was out of work for an entire year, and I am well aware that when

comes down to the wire, people are NO help at all.

These are very bad times. Who knows what the future will
bring
for all
our furry friends and us as well. More later. I've got a couple of
call I can make yet. If anyone has friends in the area who might
help,
please let them know.

I emailed a friend in Halifax.
Also asked her if she knew anyone in Ottawa .

Purring for you, and the kittees.

Fangu. It's very much appreciated. If there's anything anyone can do,
please try now. All three kitties are really needing your purrs.
