I have to say that reading this thread and the fact that your sweet kitty is 16 years old made me cry. I just lost my 10 year old to cancer last month and my oldest is 16 also. So tragically sad to leave an old kitty (and the fish too). I'm in Colorado, but if I weren't so far away, I'd be happy to help you out. I pray that it will all work out just fine and you can stay in touch with your "foster home". Thank you so much for your service to our wonderful country (BECAUSE of people like YOU)!! God bless and stay safe.
