Hello Victoria, I am an animal lover, without an animal. My last cat died about 5 years ago at the ripe old age of 18, he was my love. All my pets have been rescue strays. Random cats that followed you home, abandoned starving cats you name it. In my mind I affectionately refer to them as "dumpster kitties". It is 2019 so I am sure that will offend someone but what I mean by that is simply the unloved. Missing tail or eye? perfect! I do look at the SPCA website here and there, and there are so many young, healthy, indoor cats. it just doesn't feel right for me. I think an animal comes into your life when you need each other and I have been waiting for the right furball to come into my life. But sometimes you need to put things out into the universe so that is what I am doing now.
