September 22

Sugar Land, Texas

Miriam is sick. We brought her home from the shelter and within hours she was sneezing.
Bless her heart, she sneezed all day. I didn't want Finn to get sick too, so I took her back to the shelter.
Turns out that she and most of the other cats have an upper respiratory infection.
Now the shelter wants to keep her in quarantine for 3 weeks.
I'd rather not wait that long. Finn is lonely and we are gone from home for long stretches of time.
Breaks my heart, but I need to find another kitty. I hope Miriam gets better and finds a loving home.
The vet tech at the shelter told me that there is a tortoiseshell cat at their other location.
She has been at the shelter for 9 months. It's hard to find homes for Torties, but I've had two in the past
and I like their BIG personality. My dear sweet Missy was a tortie. She passed away from cancer in July.

Misfortune seldom comes alone - poor Miriam. What a pity!
What ever you will do, you will do the right thing, I'm sure!

Poor little Miriam. I'm sure the infection will clear up and she'll get a home. I think Missy is adorable. Torties are beautiful and I wonder why they have trouble getting a home. V

Sad to hear about your loss of sweet Missy and Miriam's problems. Hope you can get the tortoiseshell. What a lovely portrait of Missy!

It breaks my heart to read about Miriam. :( .....maybe you can still get her in 3 weeks after you get your tortoiseshell kitty! After all, what's 1 more mouth to feed?????

They are all so beautiful, I too have 'tortie', Minoo, and it is the love of my life, along my 'domestic' Meow Meow of course.

What a shame! I think Miriam is very cute!

Aww, I think Miriam looks charming! Love those eyes in particular.
