Story
Boomer is very sweet, and playful, but overstimulated easily. He’s good at listening most of the time (he is a cat) if he’s in a room you don’t want him in,just tell him no sir,get out or come on and he listens.I’ve had him for seven years.I adopted him when he was eight months old.I was told that he is part maine coon.It breaks my heart to have to rehome him but it’s either that or he may eventually die,and I can’t stand the thought of that. My husband and I are struggling financially we had family members move in with us they brought their dog with them.Boomer did not adapt well to the big change.I had to take him to an emergency vet last month for FIC.they put him on gabapentin and pain meds he was doing better but I can’t afford his special diet,vet visits and medicine. Since we’ve ran out of medicine,every other week he is having another episode,even with the extra dog(not our dog he’s used to) in the house removed. He needs the care I can’t afford to give him any more. 😞

Story
Misty is a darling kitty, blind in one eye but doesn't look it. When a kitten, she had, according to the vet, congestive heart failure, causing serious respiratory problems. Vet gave her a cortisone shot; he said she would keep needing more shots, and that the condition would nonetheless eventually be fatal. But her "brother" Dart stepped in and parented and cuddled her, sleeping with her. Now she is the most athletic of the cats, leaping 10 feet from the microwave to the fridge. She'll stand and look at me for hours, fading into the background, absorbed in her relationship with me. I'll stand there as if looking in a mirror, then we'll turn and be side by side.
