We were very saddened by the loss of our family cat in September. In late November/beginning of Dec. we had another loss of our Basset Hound, he was ten and was
diagnosed with an auto-immune deficiency at age 4. After many surgeries of cyst removals he was covered in tumors and not himself so we decided to do what was right. He had a buddy, same age, who appeared healthy without question. This Basset was very special and dear to our hearts. He went into what we thought was a depression but later was diagnosed as aggressive Lymphoma cancer. He was given two weeks, he did not make it to one.

Our hearts were so heavy and filled with so much sadness, I did not think I could ever have another pet. I cried every night and the house was so empty without them, I still tear when I talk about it. We made the decision that a cat would help us through. I began to look at all the SPCA website photos but when I came across Felix's picture I found myself continually going back. I adopted Felix in January. He had two rare hernia operations but he is a healthy happy kitten. The first night with us he sang constantly as if to say thanks. He is a constant joy.
