the short answer? we do it because we can. we might not always THINK that we can, but clearly the creative force of the universe, by whatever name you choose to call it, believes that we can.
these critters always manage to find us, no matter what we do. i have come to believe that, in order to complete their journeys, they come to us because there is something they need that only we can give them. and that there is something that we need to learn that only they can teach us. it never gets easier to deal with the difficulties of special-needs cats, but after the first few times they appear in our lives, i think we start to realize that we ARE supposed to be doing this work, and that it's not just some bad cosmic joke.... everyone does what they can. some of us can work with the elderly, the sick or dying; some can foster; some can give great amounts of time or money but are unable to physically take in additional animals. there are so many ways to help, and each path is valid...

Hi guys, I don't have an FELV+ that I know of, but I do have a kitty with VSM (ventricular septal defect) - a heart condition. She could die at any time, or she could live for quite a while. (If you could add her to the prayer list, that would be great). Her name is Missy, and I love her more than anything in the world. She had an echocardiogram and was diagnosed with VSM this summer. I think I have cried every day since. Before she had the echo I thought she would be dead every day when I got home. Now I'm sure she will be. Nice as the heart list people are, I can't really read that list; it is too close to home. I can barely read this one, and I cry a lot here too. How do yall stand it? I don't think I am strong enough.
