We are still waiting for the shelter to take the next step. They have to get her records from the vet, and post her pics on their website. I am glad that I can work with the same place where I got her from, because they are good. I will be posting pics in a few days, and an update!
The shelter has agreed to re home my cat. I have given a thorough description of the issues, and hope that they will place her with people who will allow her to have her own little castle. I am positive this will be the best thing for her. Thanks for all the support and advice! Some of it may...
I just spoke to a friend who used to foster cats, and she said that this is a situation where the cat's true personality has emerged. She needs to be a solo cat who doesn't have to share resources. Period.
They were semi feral, and they both were very shy when I got them. I am home all of the time, and there has been no triggering event that would cause such a difference in their relationship. I just can't think of anything that could have triggered this gradual but definite change.
Okay. I'll explain as best I can. First, the cats were siblings. Most adoption shelters are insisting that siblings be adopted together and are saying that they are a bonded pair. Since I had recently lost my cat of fourteen years to kidney failure, maybe my judgement was off. But I figured that...
I agree with most points made here! I have siblings whom I never contact and that I don't get along with at all, despite growing up with them, lol. Nobody expects litter mates to love each other to the end. I am going to try asking in a legal forum what the possible ramifications would be if i...
I guess I will have to speak to them. I didn't want to try re-homing the cat on my own, because there are weird people out there, lol. I would trust this agency because they delivered both cats to my house after I had gone through the other steps, and they also asked to be shown through the...
Thank you for responding! The contract I mentioned is something commonly done when adopting through an agency, which is what I did. The contract is legal and binding, since it was signed by both myself and the foster parents of the cats. The agreement is that I return the cats to them if I...
I have decided that Sheena, the alpha bully in our household, has to go. I just had a few questions for the wise readers here! In the contract that I signed when I adopted the two sisters from a shelter, it says that they are a bonded pair and must not be separated. They are definitely not...
Thanks! Btw, the issues between the two cats has diminished drastically, and there aren't any extremely stressful situations going on that I can see, and I am home all the time. I have also noticed that the one cat's stool is very smelly and mushy, so some issue with gut flora might be going on...
Twice over the past year I have seen a squiggle of a dark yellow substance going down my cat's nose. It isn't coming from inside her nose, but looks like it got squirted on the area between her eyes. I have been trying to find out how it got there. It was awfully smelly, too. I wondered if she...
