Hello,
I am new to this site and just wanted to introduce myself. I am the proud mom to a 2 1/2 year old female tabby named Posie. She is such a joy and I feel blessed to have her in my life. I adopted her from a rescue group when she was 4 months old, and have been trying to learn how to make the best decisions for her care by researching everything I can about cats online.
I lost my 9 year old orange and white tabby girl Chirp 4 years ago to immune mediated hemolytic anemia (I feel it was brought on and/or with possible unknown underlying health conditions exacerbated by a FVRCP vaccination she received). With her being an indoor cat and an only pet, I do not believe she needed this vaccine, but at the time I did not realize this and thought I was doing the best thing for her. She struggled with this disease for about 2 1/2 years before the medications stopped working, and I had to make the hardest decision I have ever had to make. It nearly killed me to say goodbye to her, as she was my constant companion, but I could no longer bear to see her suffer. I have tried to learn from this horrible experience and do everything that I can to avoid the same situation in the future.
This site is wonderful, and I am looking forward to learning and sharing information with all the other experienced cat owners here!
