Dearest Friends,
From our household to yours, thank you all so very much for your kind words of condolences for our loss of Jazzpurr. It means so very much to us. We wish we had an answer to why we've lost so many furbabies over the past 3 years. Most of them have been kitties well into their teens. Some have had cancer (Spunky, Memphis, and Puff). Others have had CRF (Clarissa, Fiona, Fred, and Lily). Johnny had liver problems. Batman had saddle thrombosis. It seems that the losses come in waves.
We want to give a big thank you to Ann for making this lovely memorial for Jazzpurr.
And now for some good mews! Mom helped a kitty get a new forever home!!!
One of the regulars at the bar/club where mom works had an adult male cat that she wanted to rehome. Kitty was 1.5 years old, not neutered and never had a visit with a vet. The woman said if she didn't find a home for him soon, she was going to put him outside when the weather warmed up. Mom said she would take him even though she really didn't want another cat at this time. Mom picked Bandit up from the lady last Wednesday. Bandit got a clean bill of health for our vet, and he was scheduled to be neutered today. Since we have Samantha, who isn't spayed yet, mom couldn't bring Bandit home. They lady who had him said she would keep him one more week. Mom picked Bandit up yesterday and dropped him off at our vet.
Bandit's neuter was this morning. Mom got a call letting her know that he was fine and could come home later in the day. Mom ran some errands then went to get Bandit. The receptionist asked one of the techs to get Bandit. One said something that she didn't quite hear. The receptionist said, "Jennifer said you can't have him. She's taking him home." Mom said if Jennifer was serious, she would be glad to let him go home with her. Mom explained the situation that Bandit was coming from and why mom was going to take him. Jennifer said she has been looking for the right cat for over a year, and she fell for Bandit the minute she saw him. Bandit will be an only cat. That made mom happy. She was afraid he would have a hard time adjusting in our house with 8 other cats.
We are sending a big thank you to Jennifer for opening her home to this sweet, handsome boy!
Purrs,

Wow, that is awesome about Bandit! You have a lot of older kitties, so I'm not surprised that you've had so many pass away over the past few years. Binga is almost 19 and Boodie is turning 18 next May. Not to be maudlin, but even though they are healthy now, my human thinks that when they do pass away, it won't be that far apart.
ReplyDeleteWell, unless Binga decides to outlive everyone... which she might!
We totally understand the heartbreak of losing so many so close together. That's great news for Bandit!
ReplyDeleteOMC. That’s such good news for Bandit.
ReplyDeleteThat is very good news,coming after a time of sadness !
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that you were going to give Bandit a home and that he found another loving mom even so. XXXX to you and to all the babies.
ReplyDeleteAww, that is a wonderful end, and beginning for Bandit. We are sorry for your loss, it is so very very hard when they come together like that.
