Cool Joelle! I think we are elite platinum frequent flyer members at our vet's office. Our file is about 2-3 inches thick from all the strays we have taken in and found homes for. We currently only have 4, but at one point we had two strays drop a dual litter of 12 kittens in the bottom of the closet to add to the 4 we already had!

I know how you feel about their care Joelle...we just had to have our 2nd oldest (15 years old) put down because she either had FIP or cancer (neither fixable). But we spent nearly $5k about a year ago on the oldest (we now call him miracle kitty) nursing him back after his system tried to shut down.

He is 16 years old and diabetic and got to the point over about a 3 day period where he was basically comatose. When I asked the vet if there was any chance he would be a normal happy cat in 30 days, she basically said we were hoping for a miracle. We decided to give him one more night to try to pull through, and miraculously he was up walking around the vet clinic 2 days later. That was a year ago, and he was just chasing our 5 yr old female around the couch on the new hardwood floors a couple of days ago. I still can't really believe how well he has done since he recovered.
