Why do I keep reading this thread?

/sob
All of my kitties were adopted.
Tigger - from the vet after he was dropped off by someone who hit him with their car at 6 months. 21 years later still going strong. I'm very grateful that said person took him to the vet to get treatment instead of letting him go to kitty heaven.
Springer - from someone in the Pennysaver who was giving away kitties. The little attention whore sure got mine.
Boo - showed up one day and never left. He had a collar ring and we are guessing that someone dumpted him when they moved.
Tiger - RIP

- from a box of kittens outside of Huntington Center
Mench RIP - my parents cat before I was born was from the shelter.
Pookie and Hobbs from E's mom & sisters. They were adopted to new homes since I am allergic.
