Re: [Felvtalk] Sanctuaries (Marnie) (Lorrie)
Hi Marnie, I'll gladly take your extended paw as I love talking to people who have the cat's interest at heart and not making big bux or competing with others who do rescue work. In our very small town I am the only rescue/santuary, so I have no competitive problems. The only other animal shelter is the county pound where the cats are gassed and incinerated as fast as they come in the door. It was because of this horrible place that I started my sanctuary. I'm in north eastern WV (Terra Alta). I'll make a note of your e-mail address so we can chat in the future. TTYL, Lorrie On 03-03, MARNIE MISZEWSKI wrote: Thanks Lorrie! It's nice to have validation from someone else who is doing this. I'm sure you understand when I say how frustrating it is for me every time I hear about a sanctuary that doesn't have the animals best interest at heart. Not only is it horrible for the animals in their care, but it ruins the credibility of people like us who are truly doing the right thing for the right reasons. Please email/contact me anytime you need anything. I don't know if it's the same where you are at, but the shelters in my area are a bit competitive and don't always work together. When I started this I naively thought we were in this together and would work together on the animals behalf. Instead I have found I'm on my own doing what I can for these guys. That said, I will take my support system where I can get it and am extending my paw in case there is anything I can do for you. :0) Marnie Helping Paws Animal Sanctuary ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Thank you for condolences. I will really miss him. It's really weird to not have him home.

Re: [Felvtalk] Buddy left for the Rainbow Bridge today.
He sounds like a really special boy. I love the ex-Tom cats who come inside become sweeties.

To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Friday, March 4, 2011, 12:59 AM HI All, please add my boy Buddy to the list. He was 10 years old, both Felv and Fiv positive. He passed earlier today about a half hour after a seizure. He had no prior seizure activity I was aware of, in fact I thought he was in great condition and would be around for a couple more years. He went completely limp after the seizure and at first I actually thought he was dead. But a little breath showed on the mirror in front of his nose, and then I hoped he would come round in at least some fashionbut it didn't happen, he was barely breathing, I couldn't tell if he was conscious or not the whole time - and then just as we got to the vets, he stopped. There was nothing they could do. I am really grateful I was home (my worst fear was he would be alone) and able to be with him when he passed and I really hope he was aware he was not alone, and I was trying to help him. He was absolutely an awesome friend, such a patient cat, surprisingly sweet and playful for an old, very tough ex-TomCat. He was finally getting plump and really loving scratchies and pets. A total joy for me to see inside, safe and happy. I knew him the last three years - after feeding him for two, last winter is the year I caught him and insisted he stay inside. We worked really hard to get to a very good place and it was worth it. He worked the hardest; he still was willing to trust me. I am really sad. I miss my friend in my house. His room feels incredibly empty and even though he wasn't allowed out of his room, I feel the absence of his physical and spiritual presence everywhere. I am getting him cremated (in his cozy soft bed he loved, if they will allow it) so he will be back, sort of, but this is the first time I have had one of my cats in someone else's care when out of my house. I never leave them alone in a strange place. I know it's weird but it's creeping me out thinking of him alone, even if he is curled in his beloved bed, at the doctors office. I didn't like leaving him there. :( All, if you can, give your kitties a kiss, a hug and a treat today to thank them for still being around. I know I am!

Re: [Felvtalk] Buddy left for the Rainbow Bridge today.
I am so very sorry to hear about your empty room - I always feel the same way when one of ours diesit feels so empty, even though there are others...each cat has its own place in our hearts forever, no matter how many one has cared for in a lifetime.

Re: [Felvtalk] Buddy left for the Rainbow Bridge today.
I truly feel for you. They get to you very quickly and to loose them hurts so. I am glad you were home with hm, you got to say good by to him and he could feel your love to the very end. It wll get better with time, but you will always have memories. I have all my fur babies buried on my property close to my house. They are in my flower gardens and in he sprin, I will have beautiful patches of flowers growing on their graves. This way I can visit with them most every day.

Re: [Felvtalk] Buddy left for the Rainbow Bridge today.
Dana Condolences on the loss of your Buddy cat. No words can ease your pain, but I am certain he was aware that you were there for him doing all you could. In my experience, cats are incredibly sensitive to who and what is around them. Plus, you had a bond of love that makes your awareness of eachother stronger. May the memories of your time together soothe your pain. ~Bonnie - Original Message - From: dana giordano giordano.d...@gmail.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 9:59 PM Subject: [Felvtalk] Buddy left for the Rainbow Bridge today.
