OMG that cat is ADORABLE! I'm so sad you two had to part ways. Sending hugs.

Isn't he though? I mean THAT FACE! That's what my friend Angela says, that once he gets clean of parasites/other infections, he'll have no trouble getting adopted. Keep your fingers crossed.

Oh my dear, my heart is with you. Beautiful Butter-baby (I call all furry ones " baby") will easily find another home; It's so much better that it's not w you. You have contributed to their happiness simply by showing that people love cats & people can be trusted.

I love to foster cats & kittens at my place; I have 5 smol wild animals who live here temporarily.

They're siblings & they start purring as soon as they're touched. Please take a look at my Instagram @22205kittens to meet them. They're going up for adoption later this week.

If you're interested in adopting 1 or 2, let me know immediately - I may be able to help 😉

Thank you so much. In a moment of weakness I checked out the Instagram and I know all kitties are cute kitties but those are kitties come with an extra serving of cute. However, after I bring Butterscotch to the pet hospital on Wednesday, my next move is to go to my doctor and tell her about all the new parasites/pathogens we've just discovered I've been exposed to, go through the process of getting tested for them, and then going through treatment myself. I'm guessing it's gonna take a little while. I'll let you know?

Thanks again though.

I hope you feel better soon to be able to give adoption a second chance, and this time I hope it works out for you. Thank you for starting the thread Hannah, I found you through the same thread and I am really glad about it. Looking forward to read many more of your newsletters.

Also I am a parent of two fur babies(cats), Maya and Vincent, and I have this recurring seasonal episode of hyper allergy which makes it difficult to be in close proximity to them for a few days. That’s make me extremely anxious because I am afraid that doctor might ask me to give them up, and I would rather die because they are now 4 years old and I raised them since they were 15 days old. So I really do understand your pain and despair.

Thanks so much Swarnali! Looking forward to reading your newsletter too, and I really appreciate your sympathy and support. Ooof, any time apart from our fur babies is tough, and yes, I definitely hope to adopt again. :)

I love the idea of becoming a DC character. :)

And that's so true about street cats. I adore Butterscotch but tbh from the very start I had a gut feeling that something was very wrong. I guess I'm glad we went through what we did together -- honestly I'm not sure anyone else would've put in the time and $$$ to track it all down -- and hopefully we have gotten the full list of parasites/weird viruses, etc. identified. I hope the animal hospital where he'll be staying can get him clean and healthy, and I hope my doctor can get my doctor can get me clean and healthy again too.

Next time, give me a street cat over these fancy semi-breeder Kuwaiti cats any day.
