Well we did it. We found homes for all of the newest brood. The last two went this morning to a man (picked up by other family members) who is an amputee and has a live-in nurse.
The real beauty of that is, for those who know me, with Gram wheel chair bound (due to the Parkinson's), the cats are not afraid of a wheelchair (they know how to move to avoid being run over), and are used to all the medical equipment (bath chairs, commodes, etc.) that are needed by disabled people (Don't get me started on much I hate the word disabled---talk about derogatory). So this is a perfect fit, and what they were raised for. In that sense I'm extremely proud, I have been able to help the amputee.
Yes, I'm sad to see the newer brood go, but at the same time, they've all gone to homes where the owners are absolutely crazy about cats (and in some cases have been previous cat owners), so they can get all the love and attention they need to thrive on as primary cats, instead of sharing it with the older brothers from the first brood and that makes me happy. As a responsible pet owner and animal lover, that's all I want for any animal selected as a pet, is a forever home filled with love.
So to Pacina, Callie, Squirt, Bert, Peanut and Tuffy (our nicknames for them), I say thank you for letting me be apart of your lives for the first 10 weeks and I wish you long, happy, healthy lives filled with love.
