Arrival Story:
When my Chloe had to be rushed to the Emergency Vet, I spend quite some time there the last week of her life. Felix was in a cage in the "comfort room". He needed a forever home and I was there several times a day, every day and spent a lot of time in that room. He did his song and dance number every time I was there because he really wanted a home. He'd been living at the hospital for five months and watched all the other cats get forever homes while no one wanted him, so he was trying awfully hard to impress by the time I showed up there.
He was considered special needs and it's hard to find a forever home for an older, special needs kitty. His own family signed his death warrant when he got really sick the last time. Felix suffers from urinary tract problems. The last visit to the ER with his other family showed he wast totally blocked and needed surgery. His family just told the vet to put him to sleep. Heck they hadn't even kept up with his shots and put him outside all the time even though he was declawed. Imagine! The vet took Felix, released the owners and performed the surgery. His entire system was re-routed, now Felix pees like a girl cat. He needed special food forever and urine testing four times a year.
I told him I would love to take him home, but my Chloe was just too sick to add the stress of another kitty, no matter how wonderful that kitty was. I added that if she didn't pull through, I'd give him a forever home. He's been with me since shorty after Chloe's death.
Bio:
The folks at the ER vet were wonderful. I told them I wanted to adopt Felix but I just needed a little time to adjust to Chloe's death. I'd had her since she was a kitten and she died two months before her 18th birthday. They put up a "I'm going home" sign on his cage and kept him for a week or so until I was ready to bring him home. They were just thrilled he was finally getting a forever home and after what I'd done for my Chloe, they knew I'd be a wonderful mommy. I really wasn't ready for another kitty yet, but I knew Felix was the kitty for me. After having Chloe, who had to get fluids weekly, four pills a day and surgery for cancer, I did NOT consider Felix a special needs cat! In some ways, I believe Chloe sent him to me.
He's had some urinary problems since he came home and I've got two ruined wool oriental rugs to prove it, but I'd never trade him for all the world.

My purrs were answered. Mommy didn't try to light my tuna on fire and she didn't make me wear a stupid hat!!! Either Ceiling cat answered my purrs or Mama Kitty heard me and told mommy. I am having faith that Ceiling Cat heard me and intervened :)
I got a whole can of tuna, but I couldn't eat it all so the other cats got to finish it. I wasn't quite sure I like that, but they reminded me I'd get what they didn't finish on their Birthdays, so I guess it's ok.
Mommy did sing to me, and even though she can't carry a tune in a bucket, I love it when she sings to me. MOL
Gotta run; I hear thunder which means it's time for me to HIDE.
Purrs, Felix

Well it's time of year again. Yep, it's my Birthday. Actually I call it my re-birth day and mommy calls it my Gotcha day. Since we didn't really know what day I was born, mommy picked the day she brought me home. That's ok with me. I call it my re-birth day because I got a great new life on this day.
Don't tell mommy I said this, but I made a birthday wish already. I wished she'd leave the candle off my tuna (hoping I get tuna too) and not make me wear that goofy hat. I know I've been a good kitty because mommy constantly tells me I am, so I'm hoping ceiling cat heard my purrs and mommy won't bother with all the foolishness this year :)
I'll let everycat know if ceiling cat comes through for me.

August 20th was a great day. Mommy said it was my burfday, whatever that means. Regardless, I got tuna! I practically did back flips over it because I'm not really supposed to eat it. It was way nom nom nom. I also got some new catnip mice of my very own! Mommy hasn't let the other kitties even play with them.
The only downside was she forced me to wear this really stupid hat for a few minutes.
I played so long with my new mousie, I was totally tuckered out and then crashed out on mommy's bed!!
Purrs, Felix
