I have always wanted to volunteer at the local cat shelter, but I am sure I would begin adopting a million cats, especially ones with problems, and that would not be possible for us at this point...so I have to stay away from temptation. We do contribute whatever we can spare to the cat shelter every year. Anyway, good luck with those kittens. I hope they are adopted by wonderful caring people. Ciao!

Cats are wonderful. Seems we have a lot in common. I recently completed a one year term as president of our county's humane society. We have 7 rescued cats.

Bless you for giving these a home. I have one now that I adopted from the neighbors last year. They travel to Arizona for the winter and he just did not travel well. The two cats I had for 12+ years both got sick about the same time I did. One had liver problems and the other had lymphoma. I miss them both. Enjoy the kittens and I hope you can find them good homes soon. Janet Beth,
