MoreI'm a foster mom for furries......working with One Love Recue. Love telling the stories of the sillybabies I help find their forever home. There is a great need for fosters to get the animals OUT of shelters and on a faster trek to their forever homes! I am 60 years old and have been an advocate for animals all my life......where that doesn't make me an expert, it does make me aware of what it takes to BE a foster. If you have the room in your home and care to help.....fostering is in dire NEED!

I was in the single digit ages. When I started knowing what was going on I was an advocate for spay/neutering of pets. I didn't start advocating for animals until my adult years. It still wasn't a big deal "back then". Then I started to see animals that were being neglected. Injuries, hunger, over breeding. It crawled in under my skin and a demon was born! Demon or angel? The first time I stepped in was for cats. Friends had a black kitten that they wanted to give me bcuz their landlord said no animals. So my son Rob and I rode our bikes to their house and we took the kitten home. We named him Onyx and he turned out to be the coolest cat I ever had! I would tap my chest and he would run up my front for me to hold him!!! I used to call him my "familiar". He felt like he was a part of my soul! He lived to 21 years old. He had developed diabetes and I was giving him insulin injections daily. I don't remember how many he lasted with that. He managed to run out of the house when he was ready to die. I went out looking for him immediately but never found him. He was very very thin. I think of him now and again. I went looking for a picture of him...but I guess I put them on fakebook....and just like that....**POOF**...they threw me out and there went my history!
