This is the story. I've got 2 kitties. Sneaky's 10 and Holly is 1.
My next-door neighbor moved his sister here. Don't want to get into why. The thing is- she's got this 10 year old cat that also moved here. She didn't want to give it up, but yet couldn't take care of him (his backside is a mess because he pulled out all of his fur due to fleas). She was going to have him in her apt- but that apt fell through so now she's got one where no pets are allowed.
Neighbor is allergic. Asked us to take him in. Really didn't want to b/c I've already got 2 and I think that's PLENTY. But we did. Yesterday. And I REALLY couldn't say no when she gave me the paperwork and told me that he's now up-to-date on shots, and they're giving us another 6 month supply of flea treatment. And I have 16 lbs of cat food, a zillion toys, a half-dozen bags of treats, and this Drinkwell fountain that freaks my 2 cats out
The "girls" are not happy. He's not happy. I let him in and he's currently hiding under the couch- and I can't get him.
I don't have the luxury of a separate room. We could put him in the garage. BUT- he's also declawed in the front (not our doing- that's how he came) so we don't want him getting out. Which would mean we can't open the garage at all- but we go in and out of it since the garbage cans are outside the back garage door. The "girls" have claws, and I'm more worried about them hurting him than him hurting the girls.
Right now when we're home I'm letting everyone run the house. This morning when I went out- Holly went into the garage- Sneaky went into our room, and "new kitty" (name is Jasper) was under the couch. And he's still there. Do you think he'll eventually come out today? He's had a whole lot of change over the last couple of weeks. An 18 hour ride in a car- 2 days shut in the laundry room with a dog outside the door (neighbors have a dog that we watched) and then he came here.
