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

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. Beverly "cybercat" wrote in message link.net... Wednesday, August 27, 2003 Missy & Rascal Say Hello. ______________________ I will "cut to the chase." I am dying. I have a terminal illness and must find a Loving home for my 2 soulmate cats. Missy & Rascal: Tampa, FL - They are very sweet, affectionate and fully house-trained, spayed, neutered with all their shots. They are both quite healthy, with no medical maladies of any kind. I Need to try to keep them together as they are very strongly bonded to each other. Both Missy & Rascal have been raised as indoor cats. Missy (4 yrs. old) is female, very petite, effeminate, dainty, affectionate grey tabby with exceptional markings; very attached to Rascal. When I see Missy prance about in her very dainty way, I think of a very young little girl in pigtails, bouncing around in her innocent way. That describes little Missy. Rascal (6 yrs old) a male, is just like a Teddy Bear, loves to hug, very touchy-feely. Rascal looks after his baby sister (not biological sister) and they are both inseparable. Both were strays I took in, but they have given me more than I have given them. Both are very conscious critters. They have Lots of toys and Cat Trees to go with them. They love their toys and Cat Trees and beanbag beds. These are two Very Special little critters who deserve a Good Loving home when Daddy goes away. Their Daddy will be at peace if he knows these little ones are safe and secure in a Good, Loving home. There are a number of websites designed to help console bereaving PET OWNERS who have lost their beloved pet. But I would like to suggest that bereavement is bereavement. Such Loss and Suffering is also felt by critters who have suddenly and inexplicably lost their owner. Missy & Rascal are so profoundly bonded to their Daddy. Their beds are right near their Daddy's bed. They follow him everywhere. Never has a day gone by that he did not recognize, in some way or gesture, their existence ... their 'Being.' They will not understand what happened to him ... why he went away and left them. Their bereavement and confusion will be immense. So it occurred to me that these two mutual, yet inverse, circumstances Could Help To Heal Each Other at a time of profound sorrow and loss for both. No critter can ever take the place of the beloved pet a pet owner has lost. And no one can really take the place of 'Daddy' for Missy & Rascal. But imagine how a bereaving pet owner might be able to intuitively console Missy & Rascal in their time of profound sorrow, loss, confusion and bereavement. And imagine how Missy & Rascal, by some strange spin of spiritual instinct, might help the profoundly bereaving pet owner . . . because each is suffering from the same sense of loss, of emptiness, of sorrow and confusion. Each is sensitive to the other's plight by virtue of being 'in that same place' themselves. Animals Know Heart! Missy & Rascal are 2 very sensitive, conscious Beings. Perhaps there is a way in which sorrow can help heal sorrow ... a way in which emptiness can help fill emptiness? Perhaps there is a way in which Missy & Rascal could help heal the suffering of a bereaving pet owner who has lost a dear pet ... where a bereaving pet owner could, in turn, help Missy & Rascal in their time of great need and profound loss and immense confusion. If not a bereaving pet owner -- perhaps there is someone out there who is sensitive to the dilemma I have described here, who can help make sure Missy & Rascal have a good, safe and secure Loving home Together. After all the time we have spent together, they deserve something more than an Animal Shelter and "The Blue Juice." Read all about Missy & Rascal at their Website where there are lots of pictures and descriptions with stories about them . . . See the "My Cats Family Album" Web Link below.

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." -- Regards Fred Remove FFFf to reply, please |

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. -- Sincerely, T. Jacobs - Cybercat (Remove the "obstacles_") ____________ "Rain It Pours.... =-\" wrote in message ... I'm a lurker.. LoL , I would love to take your cats, but my car is broke down right now. I live in Lakeland , Florida.. Not too far. And I would get lost in Tampa. =( Maybe if I can find a ride/someone who wont get lost, I can help you. I love cats, and every cat deserves a good loving home. I'll post back tomorrow. Sarah |
