it is a tribute to Dusty that you want to adopt another cat, momma

because of him you found having a cat a wonderful experience, and want to try to have that experience with another

if you hadn't loved him you wouldn't want to risk having another in case you didn't love him or her either

When my cat Cleo died I wanted to get some sort of memorial plaque to remember her by.  I bought this one, though there are many on the market:

I know that it may sound like a cliche but time is a great healer and as each day goes by it will get easier to bear.

Take care Joyce   :hug: :hug:

My husband wanted to get a puppy. So we did a lab husky. He is beautiful. Heres the but I stil miss Dusty so much. I am going to adopt a furbabe in about 2 weeks. It might sound odd but this will be in Dusty's honor.

How do I get close to these animals, when I miss my little man??

Dusty I love you always

Oh thank you I understand now. But knowing me I wouldn't let it go.  Very hard decision.

But thank you once again. I just want to know the furbabe in mine.  I don't know if they have that here

perhaps it's a UK thing only

fosterers are used by rescues who either don't have a centre, or who have a cat who is unhappy in a rescue centre - the fosterer cares for the cat until it is ready to be rehomed and the costs are met by the rescue

if the fosterer decides she wants to keep the cat, then of course that is fine

The foster is a wnderful thing to do, but I know myself. I  just couldn't do that. I guess if I can keep them. I would have to think about that. But I really dont think it is for me.
When I hear cats outside my window howling I run to my front door to see if everything is ok. And if I can take care of them in some kind of way.

These foster cats come from where? And why are they foster?? I am not familiar with this.

Yes , i think i would be a "failed fosterer " too !!
I even look out at night for cats that occasionally come for food and then worry when i don''t see them -they have homes too !!

I would love to foster bu t I get very attached to animals. I probably wouldn't give it back.  It would be to hard for me. But great suggestion

you'll know when the time is right  :hug:

have you considered fostering, meanwhile? - it would give a needy cat a chance of some home life, and it would offer you a chance to do some kitty caring without having to commit yourself

Bunglycat:

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. On jan2 it will be a month. I truly can not beleive that he is not with me. I feel so lonely.. The pain in my heart feels like it will never go away.

I am so sorry about Bungly. I know itis so hard. I understand about x-mas. It did not feel like it to me at all. I am sorry Bungly had to experience that.

I wish you such peace.  :hug: :hug:

So sorry to hear about Dusty - i am sorry i missed this thread- i lost my Bungly 3 weeks tomorrow due to cancer in the lIver so i know just how you feel as do most on here. Its been a very bad year for fur babies this year on here.
Dusty sounds a wonderful boy who  had a wonderful life with you and you cared enough to do the right thing- i know just how hard that is - i am still grieving myself and certainly couldn''t enjoy Xmas this year - although i still have the other 4 it just wasn''t the same .
I hope Dusty finds you another fur baby to love when you are ready  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

having another cat will fill the need to have a cat in your home, but not your feelings of loss for Dusty - they will never leave you

but another cat which really needs you will let you back into the world of cat while you grieve, and I'm sure that will help  :hug:

Heading into New Years. Dusty I love you. I pray you are with Momma and Bubba. 

It still hurts so bad not having him here. But I have it him in my heart. I am thinking of adopting again. Getting closer to it so another furbabe can have a loving home. Maybe it will help me. I guess we will see.

I dont no. I no everyone on here knows how I feel. So I just need to write on here because you all understand

Clarenmax:


 Thank you for your kind words.  It means so much to me. I know Dusty would love me to take care of another furbabe. I am so glad you found Poot and he helped you. :hug: :hug:
I am lonely without a furbabe. I qm lonely without Dusty. BUT I did take the frst step walking into a store with furbabes. And I held a little 1 year old but my husband asked me to please wait. But if I felt the connection I would of grabbed him.  Time will letme know and my little man as well.

Thank you for your kind words again. It means a lot to me that I can talk to people who have gone through what I am going thru. Not that I wish this heartache on anyone.

You and your family have a Happy and Healthy holiday

Trigger: I hope you are right. I hope he does guide me so I dont feel guilty for adopting.  

I totally believe that Dusty will lead a new furbabe your way  :hug:  Max did it for me, and I honestly do believe that Dusty will for you too.  You have nothing to feel guilty about, if you have enough space in your heart and home to adopt another cat in need, then I'm sure Dusty will be extremely proud of you  :hug:  We never forget those who have left us, but by loving another, we can give them an amazing life too  :)

And I can speak from experience too, when I first lost Max I couldnt imagine having another cat for a while, but when we learned of Poot, well, as soon as we saw him we new it was destiny that we were brought together.

I'm sure you'll feel the same when you see a furry little face looking your way, honestly  :hug: :hug:

I also think Christmas will be hard on all of us as well for a very long time. I took some x-mas decorations out and saw Dustys little stocking. My heart just sunk. I will light a candle for you.
