My son in law has a big heart and worked for a woman who had many animals. She passed away and he brought home seven kitties, four of whom were 9 months old. The others were adults. I was going to foster them, but it turns out I'm not good at that.
I had to rename them as there were no collars with names. So I got collars and named them all and added my phone number. They have been with me seven years now, so I'm sure this is their forever home.
Then two years ago, my granddaughter brought me a kitty that was 7 years old and had a $200 trust fund to PetCo and he has a name, Baby. He was very overweight. His owners also died.
He is an unusual fellow and loves to bring me things; we have some serious conversations as he loves when we talk.
Please put collars with the pets names and a phone number on them, even if they are indoor cats as you never know when an emergency can happen. If you can, add them to your wills so they have family to care for them should you pass.
I can't imagine my life without these amazing cats. The neighborhood knows I'm the crazy cat lady and grow my own cat nip, all the cats know where to go for the good stuff.
