My family has had heartwrenching experiences with our cats. Recently, our two six year old cats (brothers), who were rescued ferals, most likely part Ragdoll and FIV positive, both died suddenly months apart. Fright Nite had HCIM with no symptoms and went into cardiac arrest. Nite had kidney problems very suddenly and deteriorated over the course of a weekend. A decade ago, another beloved young Cornish Rex cat passed away due to a rare and aggressive liver disease, and we lost another young cat due to a bowel problem. We are so devastated and we can't continue to experience this level of anxiety and heartache. At the same we need to have cats in our lives again soon. If anyone has advice on how to adopt a cat with lower risk of health problems, I would really appreciate it. Thanks very much.
