Hurray! Valiant and Braveheart are coming back to me today, so I can a) repair the damage done at the shelter (shy guys get scared and timid)
b) and work on finding them loving understanding homes, where there are no kids or scary things, just love and a genuine understanding of what they need as former feral kittens.
It will cost me 200 dollars, and someone is fronting for me, but its getting done. I need my head read - I could leave them there a bit longer, but I am not sure it would be good for them. They looked so *scared* in their photos -
check out the arlington animal welfare league and look for them on the cats for adoption page...
Valiant is HUGE. I always thought he'd grow into a giant, and I'm sure not wrong. The shelter says he is 6 months, but that's flat out wrong - I had him at 6 weeks, so he is only 5 months old... ditto on Braveheart.
They have had their medical, and I will place them in good homes, provided I have references etc.
Everyone, PRAYERS I find a rescue group or that my vet will take them into the adoption program she has. (They always get good homes there).
That way, they will get loving foster care while waiting for a home, and not go through the trauma of being trapped and cooped up in a cage all day...
I am going to pray right now - my coworker might take Braveheart - and then that would leave me just Valiant who is very much more outgoing and less shy ... he could be homed without much trouble...
And of course, if anyone out there is in the Va area, and really wants a huge main coon style cat, let me know - cause Valiant is definitely going to wind up *big* LOL!!
Lastly, if you know of anyone who wants one of these beauties - pm and let me know! They really are VERY adorable..and ready to pounce and hunt and play their socks off!
Hugs and request for prayers that I find them good homes and have some support and help in doing it. (Because it is a financial drain I can ill afford, but one I felt compelled to take on...since I rescued and tamed them, they can't go back outside...)
Cheers all and wishes for a good Xmas season for the rescue groups.
