  After waiting since 2017, when I was living in places where I wasn't allowed to have a cat, I was able to adopt one from the local shelter. Adopapet.com found him for me. He's a 4-year-old black male DSH. He's beautiful, with eyes that say "I love you". He's really adjusted quickly to living in my apartment with me. He came from a situation where there were many cats, overcrowded. He needed veterinary care and didn't get it. He was in the vet hospital for awhile getting over pneumonia with IV...

  Finally, I have my own apartment again and I'm allowed to have a cat. So I went looking on petfinder.com and fell in love with one. She was a black medium hair cat, 2 years old, currently at a shelter 93 miles from where I live. I submitted an application to adopt. I talked to the adoption counselor via email. I was told I had to come to the shelter to meet the cat, that that was their adoption process. I no longer have my own car. I have no family since my husband died in 2017. I don't know...

  I'm a newbie here, but I'm not a newbie to having cats. I had one or more cats all the years between 1979 and 2017. In 2017, my husband died and I moved to a personal care home, where I was not allowed to have a pet. I missed it so much! Finally, I was able to have my own apartment again this year and will be able to have a cat. They charge $300 deposit to have a pet, so I have to pinch pennies for awhile. Also I still have a drivers license, but I lost my car when I moved out of my last...

  Believe it or not, when I was younger I worked as a phlebotomist (person who draws blood for lab tests) and in a hospital lab for 9 years. I was good at my job and liked it. Now, at age 66, I have my own apartment and am afraid to go outside. In a month, I'm scheduled to have an annual doctor's appointment and before that, I have to have some medical tests. I'm really scared. Not of the tests so much. The blood tests have to be fasting. I have to take public transportation (although I might be...

  I'm not doing so well. This has been going on for awhile with no end in sight. I saw my therapist yesterday and it was not a good session. Fortunately, I hope, I have a session with a new therapist on Monday. I do hope that goes better. I'm depressed, anxious, and lonely. I've had arthritis in my left knee that seems to be getting worse and the pain never goes away. The meds don't seem to work anymore. I have very little ambition. My apartment needs to be cleaned up and I have no motivation to...
