Missing You More Than Ever, My Furry. Options

[Furry's mum]

Today 3 weeks ago I was sitting in the garden with my best beloved Furry. Today it is cold & grey, which is how I feel & she isn't here to snuggle up to. I still can't believe I'll never see her again except in photo's & on the DVD'S. I find that I am getting more tearful, not less as I had hoped. Tomorrow I have to go back to work, perhaps it will be better to be out of the house all day.
But next Friday the Adoption Centre will be coming to do a home check & if I'm approved then I will be able to get another cat from them. There are 2 that I so want to bring home, but the old grey & white boy they insist has to be homed on his own as he hates other cats.
So, I will bring home "Bingo" - that name will definitely have to be changed! That is if the Vet doesn't decide she's too old & ill. They think she is between 12 & 15 years old, maybe even older. She's thin as a rake, & not eating much, but they can't find out what is wrong with her, so maybe it's just old age.
I know I am in for more heartache & grief, but the staff say she's very unlikely to get a new home. When I went yesterday to cuddle the oldies, it was the first time that she had come out of her sleeping pod - she draped herself around my neck & I could hear her purring. Then she sat on my lap for over 1/2 an hour purring all the time - it was sad to have to leave her.
I so so miss my Furry, no-one will ever replace her, but perhaps if I can give some comfort to this old lady it will ease the pain .
Thinking of you today & every day, all my love, Furry Furskin.

I am so sorry about the pain you are going through over the loss of your kitty. She was an absolutely gorgeous kitty, and I know you miss her terribly. I know all too well the pain that comes with saying good-bye to your best friend and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
It really does my heart good to hear about people not only adopting animals in need of homes, but adopting older kitties that rarely have any chance at survival. When you adopt any animal, it is saving a life, but when you adopt an older kitty, or even an adult kitty, you are truly saving a life and should feel very proud about that!! It is such a wonderful tribute to your Furry that the unconditional love she shared with you drove you to want to pass that along to another. You are going to change that kitties life and show her a love that she has probably never known before...what a gift. Even if this new kitty doesn't have a great deal of time left here on earth, the love she will experience in your care will no doubt erase all the pain that the past has put on her and you are all that will matter to her for eternity....I applaud you for that!
your friend in grief,
Kim
P.S. I don't think you have to worry about being approved ...they would be crazy to pass up a home as loving as yours !
