You have done good....Hemy is home and your aunt was able to leave
this world knowing her beloved friends were safe, sound and loved.

Just an update on that little “feral” cat I took from my dear aunt’s
house….
After going to Forgotten Felines for spay (already spayed), partial
tail amputation and general health check, “Hemy” lived in a pen on
my deck for nearly a month. I would get my upper body in the pen and
we would have a ‘love fest’ of petting, purring, head-butting and
cuddling. Clearly: not a feral cat. So I left the pen door open
yesterday. She sniffed all around the yard, circled several times,
returned to the pen to eat and sleep in her favorite bed. I called
FF about finding her a home, but I think this is her home, and I’m
her person. I love this little cat. I suspect she has some health
issues, but I’m delighted to give her a home and in return have her
friendship.
By the way, my dear aunt passed away on Aug. 24. I visited her the
evening before and she said then the same thing she said every time
I saw her: “I’m so GLAD you have the cats.” Then she’d ask about
them and I’d tell her how each one was doing and how wonderful they
are. It was obviously important to her that her animals were being
cared for, and I think the fact that it was me (‘in the family’ and
a known cat lover) helped. I’m happy that my taking her cats made
her happy and gave her a little peace in her time of transition.
