Re: [Felvtalk] Please add grey and white kitten to the CLS list
THANK YOU FOR CARING AND TRYING. IT IS HARD IN THESE TIMES TO CARE FOR A CAT OR DOG WHEN PEOPLE ARE HURTING. I AM LUCKY, I HAVE ONLY MYSELF TO CONSIDER WHEN TAKING IN ANOTHER CAT, ALTHOUGH I HAVE ASKED MY VET TO KEEP AN EYE ON ME AND KEEP ME FROM BECOMING A HOARDER. 8 I THINK IS MY FINANCIAL AND PHYSICAL LIMIT. IF I WIN THE SWEEPSTAKES, THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY.

Besides the joy in my heart knowing of your loving care for her, and that she knew that love before her life was extinguished, it gives me even more comfort knowing in my heart that God has reserved a very just and absolute punishment for the person who committed this act of cruelty, if that was in fact what it was. If it was a vehicle, then that is the unfortunate harsh reality of stray animals, but certainly no less devastating. God is smiling having witnessed your act of love and kindness.
