I'm sorry that Lucy didn't get adopted on Saturday.
I know that you'd have never allowed her to go back with the family unless you were sure it was safe for her to do so.

Sending vibes that "little lucy" finds a home this Saturday.

Eileen, we trust your judgement about Big Lucy & support your decision.


Little Lucy has my prayers that she melts someones heart and they take her into their forever home on Saturday.

Thanks for understanding, guys.
This is one of the strangest cat situations I've been involved in yet.
I'm trying to do what's best for the cats, obviously, but also for the people. I really appreciate all your vibes and support as this is all sorted out.

I am still sending prayers and hugs from Mississippi for Lucy and Ethel, we all trust your judgement on whatever you do with these kittys.



Good luck with Ethel on Saturday, please let us know what happens with these kitties.

Today is Little Lucy's big day at the adoption fair, so please keep those vibes/prayers coming that someone falls in love with her. I know I have!


To complicate things further, the family has decided they don't want to keep Big Lucy afterall. I've tried being patient, but these folks are seriously getting my nerves. Since she and Little Lucy do better apart and I don't have the space to keep them separated, they're going to hold on to her for the time being. If Little Lucy gets adopted today, I'll take big Lucy back and concentrate on find her a home. If not, I'm going to pursue placing them with the out of state rescue group.

That's it for now. Will post an update later today - hopefully with the news that Little Lucy has a home! Thanks, guys!

Also sending prayers and vibes your way that someone falls in love with little Lucy, aka "Ethel". And that she finds a family that will take care of her the way she deserves.

Thanks so much for the vibes, guys, but Little Lucy didn't get adopted today either. The whole thing was a little traumatic for her. I'm actually kind of mad at how the volunteer at the adoption fair handled things. She didn't put the description I typed about Little Lucy on the outside of her kennel, so potential adopters weren't aware of her story. She also told me she didn't make any attempt to handle Little Lucy all day, so the poor kitty spent the whole day huddled under a towel in her kennel. If she'd made any effort to pet Little Lucy or pick her up, which she's supposed to do, she would have seen what a sweetie Lucy can be.

Anyway, now it's on the making the decision about letting the rescue group that's willing to take them do their thing. The problem is going to be getting the mother agree to it. For whatever reason, she still wants me to be the one to find Lucy a home. She's fine with me sending Little Lucy, though. I'm not sure the rescue is going to be willing to set up transport for just one kitty, though. The mother asked if she could have until tomorrow to decide. Told er that was fine, but then I need a decision, so the rescue can make plans. I may have to put my foot down and just tell her that's how it's going to be. Enough of this going back and forth on whether or not she wants me to find a home for Lucy. Either she does or she doesn't. This woman is getting on my last nerve!


I just want to do what's right for the cats. What do these people have to make it so difficult?

Thanks for the vibes, everybody. Please keep them coming as I sort this out.

I'm with you, the neighbor is getting on my last nerve too and I've never had to deal with her.

Except for you Eileen, Little Lucy is just not getting a fair deal.

My prayers, vibes continue for you and Little Lucy.

Just wanted to update you guys on what's happening with the girls. The mother finally agreed to let Big Lucy go to a rescue, so I'll be picking her up sometime in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, Litty Lucy is continuing to blossom. What a dollbaby! I get such a kick out of seeing her run and play.

The original plan was for an out of state rescue to take them. We were in the process of setting up transport when I heard back from a local rescue group that now has the space for them. They'll probably take the girls next week. This group is awesome and has been very successful at finding homes for adult cats.

I kind of feel like I'm bailing out on the girls by turning them over the rescue, but the reality is that they have a lot more resources to put into finding homes for them than I do. I know they'll do right by the girls and will keep me informed about how they're doing.

Thanks so much for all the vibes/prayers, guys.
Will continue to keep you posted.

Eileen,

You've done a wonderful job and gone above and beyond for those sweet girls.

Even to the point of dealing with the Mother who just couldn't make up her mind.

I'll send lots of vibes that those to sweethearts both find indoor, loving, caring homes.

Well, guys, I'm FINALLY picking up Lucy today, after going back and forth on this with the mother all weekend. Makes me sorry I ever got involved with this situation. I'm glad to help for the sake of the cats, but the people have been driving me crazy!

Now, I have to figure out the best way to keep Lucy and Litty Lucy separated during the time I have them both. Hopefully, the rescue will be able take them this week but, in the meantime, keeping them apart is important, I think, so neither one of them gets stressed out again. Considering I've got limited space and four crazy kitties of my own to deal with, this could get interesting!


So, please send vibes that the girls get settled someplace soon. I've already gotten too attached to these sweeties.
Thanks!
