• Hello my Friends. It is with a heavy and broken heart that I write. Wednesday I picked up three six- week old kittens to foster. Sunday, two were euthanized due to Feline Panleukopenia, a highly contagious, lethel disease in cats. It is similar to Canine Parvovirus in dogs. The third kitten tested negative, was given medical treatment, and he is home with me. We are hoping, but not hopeful, that he will survive. I am determined to get him through this, but it is a long shot💔It is critical that we vaccinate against this, and other diseases. This link has excellent information about this devastating disease: https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/petcare/feline-panleukopenia

    For your information, I have to sterilize every surface, piece of furniture, clothing, – EVERYTHING they or I have touched; throw away all toys that can\’t be sterilized (soft or carpeted) and I cannot have cats in my home for one year. Truly heartbreaking. Thank you all for being a part of our kind, cating, understanding and supportive community.

    Jennifer, This is exactly the kind of sharing we do here – you are welcome to share any and all that you like with our caring community. I just love the way Miss Raven Moon got her name🤗I always invite people to tell us how they met their beloved babies and your story about meeting Sookie is the reason why. Please share frequent updates with us. You ARE still carrying Sookie with you, but now she’s in your heart❤️. Sending you {Big Hugs}. Toni

      Randy, we’ve missed Renzo (and you, of course), and I couldn’t be more delighted to hear your wonderful updates, really look forward to more :-). They are adorable and in time will become Best Buds (after your wife). About how old is Rowan? Renzo is still a very handsome boy 🤗Randy, it is so good to hear fun news and please be in touch. {{HUGS}} Toni

        Jennifer, we welcome you with open arms and undertsanding hearts. I am so sorry for your loss of Sookie and wonder if you will tell us about “Evans Disease”, and what to look out for? Oh, I believe new loves come into our lives to help us heal, to share more love. How nice of you to open your home and heart to darling little Miss Raven Moon🙌💕Tell us more about each of them, and let us enjoy Miss Raven Moon (how did she get that name?) along with you. Toni

              It’s understandable, Nellie, losing Rocky the way you did.💔 You are still invited to create a lasting Memorial here (clcik the “Memorials” tab) as my guest. Toni

                They never leave our hearts and memories, do they Sheree? I hope yours are happy ones. How long were you and Six together? I smiled when I saw his name because I am fostering again and think I’ll call each of them by number! It’s nice to have you in our community and I hope we continue to hear from you. Toni
                • @bessie Hello Sheree, and welcome to our kind community. I am very sorry for your loss of Six and hope you will tell us about your lives together, maybe share some pictures with us. And please, tell us how Six got that name. I love it! How did you meet? How long were you together? Let us know how you are doing, Sheree. Toni

                  • Hi Tonight, I lost Six 11 years ago & there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss him. He got his name Six, because I got him on January 6, 1996…a month before my 40th birthday.

                      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 2 years, 10 months ago

                        What a lovely story, Louise. Thank you for sharing it with us. I love how Hershey just made herself at home with you, and that you had so many wonderful years together. Let us know how you are doing, and if you would like to share more about your other pets, we’d love to hear about them, too. Toni

                          Doreen, I am so sorry. What a little darling Marley Bear was. 💔How long were you together? May we hear more about him? How are you holding up? Toni
                          • @ewood Hello Eilene. Welcome to our caring community. I am sorry for your loss of Lil Mama and hope you are doing okay – how are you doing? We’re here to help you and would love to hear about your life with Lil Mama, and see some photos if you like. Toni

                            Oh no. This makes me so angry and sad at the same time. It must have been hell for you, and it’s understandable that you have had, and are having, a difficult time healing. I’m not sure you really can completely heal from something like this, but I do hope you are able to open yourself to the posibility of a new love, or have you already? If you would find some comfort in creating a lasting memorial for Rocky, please do so in our Memorials area as my guest. Also, please join our group meeting October 19th at 7PM Eastern. Talking with sympathetic, undertsanding pet lovers may be helpful. The link is under “Events”. Nellie, please stay in touch. {Toni}

                              Hi Kathy. Please tell us about your fur babies. We know, when we open our homes and hearts that one day we will have to say goodbye. Our pets are only ‘on loan’ to us, never for long enough. As deep as the pain of parting is, I do not regret one moment with my beloved babies. You?
