Hi there, just joined the site.

Over the last 18 months we lost our 2 wonderful kitties.

Spike who passed at 18 years old, a rescue we got from the Rude Ranch in Maryland. She was a total lover.

The. About 6 months ago we lost Benga at 13 years old due to fibrotic carcinoma. Benga was a feral that my daughter found but when she went off to college he became ours. It took him a while but he worked his way into our hearts too.

Our house seems empty and our pup has been in mourning without her best buds.

So to make a long story short meet Fred who will be joining our pack in early May.

Welcome to TheCatSite. I am sorry for the loss of your two cats but glad your heart is large enough to welcome a new kitten into your lives. Fred looks adorable. And has the most superb whiskers. Wonderful photos.

:welcomesign:to you, and the adorable Lucy and very soon to be cutie pie Fred. I'm sorry about Spike and Benga. That pic of Lucy looking so lost who could resist getting her another little buddy.

Hello and welcome to TCS. :wave2:

Condolences, though, on the losses of Spike and Benga. :alright: They were both gorgeous cats. RIP sweeties. :angel::angel:
As tabbytom tabbytom mentioned, we have a Crossing the Bridge forum where you could post a longer tribute to them, if you'd like.

Glad to see you've found a new kitty to share your home and help heal your broken heart. Fred is pawstively precious. :catlove:

Lucy is a cutie pie too, and since she's already lived with cats, will probably accept Fred quickly. But if you want to review the dog/cat introduction steps, here's a TCS article.

Thanks I plan on a very cautious introduction between Fred and Lucy.

Our trainer insisted that Lucy never be allowed to chase the kitties. Our house is set up to allow Fred progressively larger safe spaces during his transition. We have some nice Kidco gates.

Will review that link also.
