I'm loving all of the animal pics, and stories! We have a bunny (Nibbles), cockatiel (Sunshine), and 15 (yes 15) cats! We have a large home, and all of the cats are rescues. We brought 3 with us when we bought our house, as I had raised them from kittens outside of my apartment building. They were 4 years old when they had their first real home. One of our cats had a similar situation to Peppermom. He was in horrible shape when we found him in the back of our woods. There is no way he could have hunt to survive as he was in such bad shape. Parts of an ear missing, tooth gone, zero meat on his body, and badly beaten by another animal. We immediately took him to the vet, and thru blood work found out he has feline HIV. Today he is doing amazing. Two years ago we took in a young kitten we found out back in the winter. We kept her in an upstairs spare bedroom as the other cats all had upper respiratory infections. She cleared well at the vet, but she also needed this time to adjust to her new home. After a month I noticed she was getting (wider)... hmm. Took her back to the vet, and sure enough she was pregnant! Yikes! Since Rich was on the board at the Humane Society, we decided when the kittens were old enough we would take them in for adoption. Unfortunately, by the time they were 6 weeks old, we were so attached to the (5) of them, there was absolutely NO way we were parting with them. They had become our kids! We always have our pets spayed and neutered, but our doors are always open for anything needing a good meal, or a home. We're blessed to have dozens of deer that come daily to feed during the winter, and every other outdoor critter imaginable. We consider all of them our kids too!!

She fought the good fight but pancreatitis came calling one last time and I had to hand her to God in Sept. That's one reason I've been absent from the boards. She required around the clock care with shots and having to watch her like a hawk due to her blindness. She never stopped telling me what she wanted though and she fought until the very end. She was the only little girl I've ever had. If I ever figure out how to post a pic here... yes, I know... sad... I'd love to share her with you as she will always be my beautiful baby girl.
