A forever home for Caruso!

Everyone please keep your fingers crossed for us. It looks like we might have found a home for Caruso, our wonderful 20 pound boy.

A woman who worked with me in producing the television ad for our new PetSafe program (fostering animals of women escaping from domestic violence) lost her cat several months ago. She and her family are ready to adopt a new cat and they like the descriptions of Caruso.

I will bring Caruso to work next week to meet her and the family and we will see what happens from there.

Send all of your good luck thoughts our way!

Oh yes, my good thoughts and tons of positive vibes are with you. Caruso looks like a total sweety!

Smiles and Cheers!

Good thoughts for your wunk-a-chunk of a feral to get a great furrever home!!!

He is sooo beautiful! She will love him!

Good luck! He looks like a big lover boy and I'm sure he will fit in with their family just fine.

What exciting news!!!!

I've got my fingers crossed , and sending lots of prayers Caruso's way. He is a beauty, I'm sure they'll love him!!!!!

The family will meet Caruso tomorrow afternoon. So tomorrow is Take Your Cat to Work Day!

Keep those fingers crossed and the good luck vibes coming my way.

Whta a handsome boy Caruso is (LOVE the name)!!!

I do hope and pray he finds his true home with these new people.

Caruso is in my office, sitting on my desk in front of the monitor 87999999999999999999 oops, and stepping on the keyboard.0o I wish I could have a kitty in my office every day!

Caruso's potential new mom will pick up her daughters from school around 3:00 (central time) this afternoon and bring them over to meet him. I am so excited!

Renae, any news on Caruso?

Oh, and tell him Hello back! I'm pretty sure that's what he was trying to say when he interrupted your post with his own. And of course, he gets a hug too, since it is Hug Your Cat Day!

They loved Caruso! They wanted to take him home yesterday, but mom needs to make sure dad is really okay with Caruso joining the family. Mom will let me know whether the adoption will go through this afternoon. If so, I will bring him to his new home on Monday because they are going out of town this weekend.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Well.....the father didn't seem very happy about the thought of adopting a new cat. But, he is willing to give it a try. So I will bring Caruso to their house on Monday morning and give it a trial run. Caruso is so wonderful that I can't imagine the dad not falling in love with him immediately. But, I am a little nervous about the whole thing.

As long as they know that if it doesn't work out they must return Caruso to you.....

I've found that animals have a good sense of who they need to win over. When my sister brought home a puppy that my Dad was not happy about, Felicia took her first opportunity to curl up and lay her little head across Dad's neck. He was a goner after that, and they were best friends for the rest of Felicia's life. He didn't speak to my sister for a month, but that's a different story. LOL

I'm hoping for the very best for Caruso! I'm sure Heidi is right and Caruso will have his work cut out for him, but he'll win the heart of that man (my fingers are crossed for all involved). I know that my Grandfather doesn't really care for cats (at least he acts like it) and wouldn't you know, everytime he would go to one of our homes that had cats in it, they'd go right to him. Yep, Heidi is right on the money with that - the little cuties seem to have a sixth sense about who to work on.

Good Vibes headed Caruso's way!

I dropped off Caruso at his new home this morning. I am soooo nervous about this. They are a sweet family and they have a great house...but they also have a leather couch and loveseat! Oh no! Ooooh I hope and pray that Caruso doesn't scratch the leather.

I can't believe how worried I am about him going to a new home. I miss him already.

The dad threw a fit when Caruso scratched the rug this morning. When I asked whether they had brought home a scratching pad for him, the mom said no. Well...what do they expect...they had absolutely nothing that was okay for him to scratch!

It burns me up because I had given her the Humane Society paper on introducing a new cat to your home. It has all the basic information you need for a successful adoption, including the importance of scratching pads & posts.

Sigh. I am so sad.

On the good side, Caruso is sitting in my lap right now, in my office. I always love having a cat at work with me.

Goodness, what did they expect? They should have been prepared for him. Did they even have a litter box? I just don't understand people. If your going to adopt an animal, you have to plan for that animal.

I get upset with my boss who has a golden retreiver that will be a year old in June. He complains all the time because she is such an active dog. If he would have bothered to do his homework, he would have found out that goldens need a lot of interaction and exercise.

You would think it would be common sense that cats scratch things and if you don't provide it with an outlet for scratching, it will scratch your things. Sorry, just venting.

awwww that is ashame!!! he is such a cute kitty!

Oh, Renae I'm so sorry! The ignorance of people never ceases to amaze me. What do you expect from a cat? That's like asking a dog to never bark or a fish not to swim.
