He’s huge. He also has really big paws.

I know a couple of elderly people who still have a license but haven't been driving for years. My Mom kept hers for maybe 15 years after she stopped.

I think it's more than normal to be in shock and to be grieving. Your family needs to see you this way. Emotions are part of life and it's ok to be sad sometimes. If not they may think his death doesn't bother you at all.

What helps me get thru the death of my pets is to think of all the good memories with them.

Some people may have children but they are not parents; they lost the privilege to be call Mom/Dad.

Are they doing something to change this? As a Canadian I can't imagine living like that.

If you give to the human society, make sure your donation goes for pet care (vaccine, sterilization...) and not euthanasia or luxury items like new cars or furniture. I volunteer at a cat shelter and when we get big donations (for us 1K is enormous) we spend all of it very wisely and with frugality. With a big organisation like them, make sure they treat your money with the same care.

You need a lawyer for a reputable firm to set this up. He/She will act as your executor and will sell your assets, pay your debts (if you have some) and give what's left after taxes to them. It's a long process. it took my Mom over a year to take care of her Cousin assets (and she didn't have a lot of money).

Have you also thought of a scholarship fund for Vet school for underprivileged students? That could also be a great legacy.

Exactly! What can I do?

I Hope not, we want to find all of them a good home… But we never know…

I will!

The ginger.

That doesn’t work like that in the cat world.

Especially Jeremy he’s a big baby.

Oh no….

Thank you!

Nope it’s the white one! Heidi is our mascot and she always sleeps there. If another cat tries to take her place she’s gonna tell him/her to leave. Jeremy learned that really fast.

Unless you want to sit on the chair. :)

I think it’s too late for us.

Thank you! We think we will be successfully when all the cats are gonna have forever homes. (In our 26 years doing this it never happened). We are just trying to make the transition the best (and the shortest) that we can for them.

We had one a month ago from another shelter. They said he was "too agressive" and that he bite someone. Lol! He wasn't even 2 pounds ! He's a wild one, who wanted immediately to play with the big cats; he wasn't scared at all. He's getting adopted soon, I hope they don't have any precious breakable things in their home :)

We often have news from our cats and they are all spoiled rotten. There's one who has his own couch, some have their own room! We had a couple of people build (or buy) a big catio so they can go outside safely. The big ginger one, Jeremy, was a semi feral outdoor cat and it took some time to catch him. Now he loves inside living. He never even try to go outside. It's like he retired from street living. (His 2 brothers did the same)

It’s so easy to love these little devils.

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

I’m downtown Québec city Canada. People who adopt here have to promesse to keep the cat inside. We specialize in feral cats and we are kind of tired to have to treat injured cats. Last winter we had one with frostbites so severe he needed an operation to close the wounds.

Let me tell you, that’s a lot of poop. It takes us 3 hours every morning to clean it all.
