this is a difficult one. I have been in the position before, and in the end the oldie I had planned on keeping I found a single-cat home for with a bachelor friend of mine. For 11yrs she was the sole cat, or having to fight to survive by "being a stray". She now feels she has to fight to...

I have had several cats I pulled from shelters in the past who hid for quite some time after they got to my home. I took on typically older cats, many that had just lost the only human/home they ever knew - so I chalked up the long adjustment to that more than anything. I still did the...

having gone through this about 15m ago myself - please take time and check out organizations that can help with some of the expenses.  It is going to take a lot of time completing applications and whatnot, but there IS help out there. The moment I got back from the vet clinic and knew what had...
