Hello, I'm new here also. Am new mother to a kitty who came around our side porch meowing up a storm on Oct. 4. He's a Domestic Medium-hair, orange and white. When he first came to us, he was very, very thin. Took him to the vet, who treated him for intestinal parasites and a possible intestinal infection. We couldn't find a previous owner. Also at first, we weren't going to keep him, as I live with my dad and, due to some personal losses, etc. in the past couple of years, he did not want another pet around. To make a long story short, after trying to find a home for the kittyplus getting him neutered and routine vaccinations, etc. Dad relented. So now Opie is our new family member. The vet estimates he's around a year old. I dearly love animals and would love to work with them regularly sometime(although I do enjoy my present occupation as caregiver to the elderly). I wish I had had all my ducks in a row, so to speak, when I was much younger so I could have started back then. However, you can't rehash the past; it's over, so I just go on from here, one day at a time. As they say, You're only as old as you feel....and never too old to start something new!

Opie is quite a character...very outspoken, loves to play, and very loving in his special way.

And yes, that is very true! Go on and pursue your dream, you sound like you would be very good at working with animals. You obviously have a passion for it--never give up!!


Well, have a great time here! Best wishes.
