I just wanted to say we are very thankful to have found this group!  I'm so appreciative of the administrators that helped me through my initial struggle with the site and also of all of you who've shared your stories.  In reading them, it helps me to know we did the right thing for our kitty.  Oscar, who has a blog now became a tripawd a little less than a week ago and thus far has adapted quite well.  Even after all the reading I'd done, we're surprised at how well he's doing.  If you read his story you'll find out that Oscar became a tripawd as a result of being shot by someone which is horrifying.  It's a big scary world out there, how do we keep our fur babies safe and still let them be who they are?  For now Oscar is recovering inside and we're taking things one day at a time.  Thank you again for sharing your stories.  If you have advice for us, we'll take all the suggestions we can get on how best to help Oscar adapt and be happy in this new life.
