My dad loved cats, When we lived in Arizona he helped trap, neuter and return a feral cat colony that lived in our yard. We rescued kittens and had them adopted. When one of my cats was sick and I lived in a remote art community. I had to drive at night two hours away for my cat to have an emergency operation. Finding out it would cost 900.00 and there was no way for me to pay for it. My dad made sure he was able to have his operation that I could stay over night in town to take him home the next day.
