Tad and Marie,
My thoughts go out to you during this difficult time... Callie was very lucky to have you and although her time was short, she was comfotable and loved, and I'm sure she knew that you saved her. Calicos are special cats and I'm sure she will always have a special place in your heart
Hi Belinda,
You're in WA? I did my
student-teaching in Bellingham, WA, and did cat-rescue there. Took four of
the cats with me to CA. Two survived to go with me to Zaire and back, and
Venezuela and back. They eventually died of old age/cancer. I miss
all of them terribly.

My sympathies go out to you Tad. She had so much love while in your care, and
it was
a blessing for her to not have to die at AW with no one there. I'm sure she
appreciated everything you did for her.

happy and loved and that she knew she could trust you to be t
Rachel, that's wonderful news. Lucky Ducky!
Love and hugs to you both and wishing Ducky much happiness in
