In 2013-2014 I lost BOTH my fur babies in a 6- month period, both due to severe illnesses. I also lost my husband & his fur baby as a result of marital difficulties, so basically within 6 months I lost my entire family I had established; I vowed to never have to experience that much loss or pain again. In 2016, I desperately wanted another companion to help ease my loneliness & depression but was hesitant, as I know how much it can cost when fur babies get sick, & I'm financially limited due to disability & inability to work. At a church function with my father in March 2016, a friend mentioned that a feral cat she had been caring for just gave birth to a litter; then she mentioned the word "Calico!!!" I was hooked, as my 1 former baby was a Calico.. my friend sent me photos of the 2 kittens available & I chose my Hazel. Ironically, she has traits of BOTH my former babies (plus her own ;) & not realizing it til later, her name is also the middle name of my niece who unfortunately didn't survive through pregnancy. Needless to say, my Hazel is a blessing & despite HER recently discovered illness, I feel she was sent to me from Heaven by my niece & former fur babies to watch over me & provide the companionship & love I desire so much. I am sooo grateful for her!!!
