Please pray for Angel. She refuses to eat ANY wet food, will hardly drink any water and eats only a few pieces of dry food. She also throws up and has diarrhea. She needs to eat and drink, or she will be returned to the humane society. 
I'm not doing this crap again of taking care of a sick cat.. No sirree... She ate fine at the humane society, and at her previous foster home, so I don't understand why she won't eat now. She's barely ate/drank anything since Friday..

I am also wondering if something in your place is bothering her? I do hope she improves, but two cats in the same place with the same symptoms is suspicious! Maybe the germ/bacteria/virus from your last cat is hanging around, and now she has what the last one had.
Praying that these issues will resolve themselves permanently for you!
And now for my actual post!
I haven't been on the thread for a long, long time. I see so many new people and faces. Welcome from me! What? You've been at CC for months? My bad!
I'm getting bored in my wheelchair, so I thought maybe to find some companionship here. Two days till I can walk on my heel, and then another 6 till I can walk on the foot and another 4 days till the bandages come off and the staples come out.
You hadn't heard? Nothing too big. I had foot reconstruction surgery back in 2009, which did not fuse properly and a nice 1 1/4 titanium screw worked its way about 1/4 inch of of the bunion resection. So it has been bothering me for years. The original surgeon told me he would not take the screw out. But in 2013, I finally figured out maybe another surgeon would. By the time I got in to see the new surgeon, got the appointment booked, it was Oct, 2014. Except I fell hard and broke my wrist cycling in August, and it did not heal on time for the surgery. Plus being very weak, so I could not use the crutches to around. Then we sold our house, and between moving to a different province deciding not to go back to the new surgeon, a year to get into see this small town orthopedic foot surgeon, get the appointment and NOT back out, I finally had the surgery done last Friday.
Of course, it was nothing compared to the original. Just a painful freezing shot, and a weird feeling pulling it out, and watching him put in the staples was kind of creepy, espeically because there was a fold in the skin, and had that been a piece of material, it would have been pulled out and redone. So we shall see if I still end up with a fold, or if it stretches out normally. Who knows? I was under the first time.
So, that is my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Psalm 57:1
Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by.

Your not alone, My wife has MS and just diagnosed in April. I have been out of work and have no insurance. We had Medicaid but because my son turned 19 they dropped us. Her medicine cost 5,000 dollars a month. With one shot left we didn't know what to do, applying for disability takes 6 months to a year and then get a lawyer. After praying for days on end, the drug company calls us wondering why she can't get her meds. We told the guy and He said call these people "US BIO MEDS" so we did and they approved her and will pay for her meds. God is good all the time, but my prayer is that I can go back to work and God heals Her from MS so she don't need the meds. I don't like living off charity I won't to work and provide Me and my own, but sometimes pride needs a back seat and knees need to be worn out. Amen
Hey lady!
I read this and just wanted to reach out to see if you are doing okay. Growing up in a physical abusive household with my Dad, it was easy for me to feel so alone. People thought I was making things up when I said, "Hey, so my Dad is actually doing this stuff to me."
Regardless, there were people that did care among people that just didn't care. However, when you have so many people not caring for a 10-year old girl, it is easy to not see the ones who did.
Know that you're not alone and know that there are people out there that do care. Shoot me a message anytime <3 You are so loved.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife having MS and the problems with medical care and meds. My sister and a close friend also have MS. I'm in Canada, however, and everyone is covered with universal health care. And the meds cost anywhere from 3 to 100 times less! I'm not kidding! My husband has always had a supplementary plan from work, even retired, that cost $85 a month, and that pays for 80% of my meds. The provincial plan pays the rest. Well, Orencia, the biologic I am on is $1700 a month, and the company pays the copay of $80 or whatever it does.
But the price of universal health care, is waits. Not that we don't have the doctors just that the ones who already having billing licenses don't want any new docs, so the new graduates, unless they are the top of their class don't get jobs. My DIL was supposed to graduate last year (she took a year off to have children) and some of her classmates were so bitter! After 10 years of medical school and residency and student loans in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and no jobs.
Fortunately, both my DIL and SIL are both the top of their classes. Both have already been offered jobs in their home town. My DIL starts her Fellowship at the end of the month, and my SIL has two years left of residency, but has already been told they want to hire him after a two year fellowship.
Anyway, I hope you get a job and medical care for your wife. I'll remember you when I pray.
Blueorchid, I've always thought you were awesome. You seem like someone who thinks about things and you make sly hilarious comments that I completely appreciate. If I could send you a hug I would. Please know you are not alone. You are welcome to message me any time. I may not have all the answers but I'm always willing to listen.
Angela, what Tequila had was not a contagious disease. Angel and her siblings were abandoned outside in a summer camp, and they were also exposed to other kittens with URI. A few of the other kittens seemed to show symptoms of being sick also. One had blood in it's urine, and another wanted nothing to do with humans or physical contact of any kind. There were 18 kittens, and obviously they're all sick. :/ I really hate taking her back, she's a wonderful kitty, but I cannot physically take care of another sick cat. My back is FINALLY doing better, I cannot jeopardize that. She refuses to eat or drink, so she may end up dying.
I just went through that with Tequila AND my parents' cat Sukie, who died last week. I will NOT bury a THIRD cat that I love. One thing I can say for this kitten is, she is definitely living up to her name of "Angel". I do want another cat, but a fully grown one this time. I'm calling the humane society today and am gonna ask them if I make a big food donation, could I get the other cat in trade for this one, instead of having to pay another $100. I have 3 bags of kitten food, so maybe they'll do it. On the other hand, I'm tempted to just return her, bring EVERYTHING in and try to get the entire $125 back, then just be alone again without a cat. :/ I'm about ready to give up entirely and say forget it. EVERY lead I've had on cats has gone nowhere, and now I have to return a sick kitten. I think maybe I'm not meant to have another cat. I really do NOT miss having to clean a potty box, or change it, or buy litter and lug it around.
