Celeste,

I thank you for the many informative posts you've contributed here.  So sorry about Josh ... I hope that somehow he can still be around for a while.  He is such a gorgeous boy ... a real work of fine art.  I commend you on loving your furbabies so much (something we all can relate to around here   ), being such a good furmom to your cats, and for fighting to ensure that future Persians might not know such things as PKD.

[and, like the others, I hope you won't be a stranger around here]

Hugs to your furbabies from me and approving purrs from Tosca to you.

Take care.

Celeste, I don't think I can add any more than has already been said.
I am so sad to read you have decided to leave the forum. You are such a valuable member here.  I do hope to see you back in the near future.

Gentle hugs to you and your adorable fur babies.
Sending extra big hugs for Josh  :heart:
Take care Celeste

Celeste,

as the others have said, you such a valuable member to this site that I would really hate to see you go. Not only considering the care for your beloved furkids but also your concern about people in need of comfort and support, you have given so much to many of us.

So please, take a time out if you want but do come back to us, stay away from the breeding board which has sadly been the scenery of some very unpleasant events, reason for which I and many others too hardly go there.

I hope that also for you the positive experiences you have had here will in the long run outweigh the negative ones.

Meanwhile, hugs to you and your dearest ones,

Birgit

Celeste, I can only say I agree 100% with what Lucy has said. :flower:
This is a decision that you have not come to lightly or impulsively.
Though we are saddened by it, your choice is based on principles that you hold to and are guided by. We can only respect this.. and we do.

I wish you only the very best, Celeste, for you and your lovely cats. All of you are so deserving of the best in life.  :paw:

Am going to look at the link you have provided just now, thank you for offering this.
Please stay well also, Celeste. :flower:

Celeste, I admire you for being a woman of action and principles. When something is wrong it is wrong. Taking the easy way out or ignoring the facts only compounds the problem. Being complacent never solves any issues. It's the people that stand up and dare to be heard that make a difference in our world. BRAVO!
I wish you the best always,
Joan W.
