When we fostered Meiko, we knew that he had a heart murmur and that he would not be with us for a very long time.
We were unable to adopt him, but had him for the 9 months that he lived. We also took one of his brothers (Simba) home with us to try and make him happier.
He was a special kitten, he would love to be vacuumed, and loved to play in his water dish. He would nuzzle up to your feet and start purring when you woke up in the mornings and was happy to see you when you got home from work.
He was a wonderful addition to our home and will be greatly missed!
