I have 18 cats, one dog and a bunny. Most of of my furriends are rescues of some kind and many have special needs. Three of my cats don't live with me. Willow, the cat is the fish bed above lives with my ex husband because of allergies to my new place when I got divorced. The other two cats, Ivy and Scooter are rescues and are FIV+. Ivy is also diabetic, so I have to give him insulin twice a day. Ivy was feral when I trapped him near where I live. I had been feeding him for awhile but he was just too scared to let me come any closer than 3 feet. He turned out to be one of my most affectionate babies. I wish they lived with me but I am too scared that they would catch something from my other babies at home and since their immune system is non existant then a simple cold could kill them. I know some people have FIV+ cats with their others and they do fine but I never would forgive myself if something happened to them. I guess if for some reason they couldn't live at my friend's anymore and I had no where else to keep them then I would bring them home with me. At home with me I have my 15 other cats. They range in age from 5 months to almost 15 years old. My dog, Gracie is a black lab mix and was a rescue of mine also. One dark stormy night she ran right in front of my car and I almost hit her. I got out and she laid right in the middle of the road in a submissive postion and wouldn't get up so I had to pick her up and carry her to my car. I tried to find her owner but no one ever called about her. Gracie is about 5 years old now and still acts like a puppy. My bunny's name is Beasley and he is a mini lop. He is what they call frosted in color. He is so cute. I will have to post pictures of all of them later on so you all can see them. Please feel free to tell me about yourself and if you have animals about them.
