Guess I should have started here rather than dive right in with my first post in Cat Health.

We just put our fourth one down this morning. Lost two young ones within a year to cardiomyopathy.

My husband and I do fostering of dogs for a small local rescue we are involved in. We currently have our little Gilbert.

I have no doubt we'll be looking for another rescue [emoji]128049[/emoji]. In the meantime I hope to contribute to the forums here.

Hello from Florida!  


I spent about 20 minutes in O'Hare running from one gate to another once. Does that count?  


I'm so sorry for your loss. Four? Wow. That's awful. Thank you for all you do for these lucky animals. You and your hubby are our kind of people.

They lost 6-0 but I know all the loyal Cub fans are behind them.  Fingers and paws crossed!
