I can't add anything to what's been posted here; you have a lot of great advice for these two girls. I just wanted to say Thank You.

I called the humane's society today and now I think its time to go and visit these girls. According to them, they both have no health problems and are only there because their owner had to go into Long Term Care. They have been together all of their lives and that is why they wanting them together.


Will update when I get home

The visit went well, the girls were definately tired but they told me they had alot of school/community groups in today. I spent about 15-20 minutes with them, petting them but they weren't into letting me pick them up. I figure it would only be a matter of time. I even got a kiss.


When I left they kind of both looked at me like Where are you going? All of the others were sleeping.

I filed out an application an now have to talk with the adoption co-ordinator tomorrow (if I get off work in time) or Wednesday.

for these two kitties

If you adopt them, would it be possible for you to contact the owner or the owner's family to let them know how the kitties are?

Oh, I do so hope it all works out. I'm thinking about these two old ladies, and you.

And I think the idea of letting their family or owner know that they are now cared for, if you do take them, is just a BRILLIANT idea! If I was in that situation (in long term care) I would be so fretting about these two. I think all of us here would feel that way.

Bless you for doing this!

What a wonderful thing to do! Those two senior kitties are so lucky to have someone like you that is considering letting them live out their golden years in a new forever home together.

to both of those - and all of the above posts!

My guess is the shelter won't give you info to contact the original meowmy or daddy, but I would beg and plead with them (and probably try to bribe them if necessary LOL) to contact the family on your behalf.


for all of you!!!!!

Guess who is coming home with me on Friday?



Thanks for all of the well-wishes!


They have a little bit of a cold at the moment, that is going through the shelter, but the vet says its just all show. Lots of sneezing kitties to them getting rid of it soon. None of the cats are on anti-biotics as of yet, because the vet doesn't feel like its necessary.

for healthy kitties. If it's a cold that's a virus and antibiotics won't help anyway. You'd do as well to feed them chicken soup.

Quick Update,

Have to go to Guelph to pick up Missy today. Puurcy is not well and is at the vets, I guess she is a little depressed about being locked in a cage and is not eating much and dehydrated, so she is resting and on fluids at the vets. I will know more tomorrow.

to Puurcy

Oh I'm so sorry Puurcy's not well - but how exciting for you and Missy!


Sending more to Puurcy! (And to all of you for a smooth transition!
)
