I have a new foster girl!

Well, I'm obviously in an emotional place today because I started bawling when I read about this absolutely wonderful thing you're doing!

Poor thing - and her family (and so many others!) have been through so much. for them - and for Sassy - and for you for doing this for them!

You're such an amazing person

And she is absolutely beautiful!

You are such an angel. She is beautiful!

I've discovered that Sassy is absolutely spoiled

She gets her drinks from the faucet and last night she came out from the bed, went into the attached bathroom, jumped on the sink and informed me in a very stern voice that she was thirsty

She is still spending most of her time under the bed and hasn't ventured into the rest of the apartment yet but she is slowly coming around. When I am home, I leave the bedroom door open and the boys go in and out. She growls if they get close, but no longer growls just at the sight of them. After her drink last night she even walked past them and spent a few minutes looking at them before she jumped on the bed for a nap.

I've been keeping her meowmy and "sisters" updated on facebook.

The boys are fascinated with her of course. Xander likes to just lay and look at her and Riley tries to talk to her a lot with lots of trills and "brrrs" and other silly noises. I told them that she is an older woman so they have to be mature with her

Oh they boys are too cute around her!

Of COURSE she's spoiled! Love HOW though.

awwwww..... they want to be friends!

I think this is awesome and I've sent you a pm

Awww, the boys are being so sweet and cute with her.
Glad she's continuing to settle in well.

OH HOW Cute!!!! The boys are in shock or is it LOVE
to you for what you are doing for Sassy.

She came out from the bed to see me when I got home from work today

She has also wandered out of the bedroom and around the apartment the past 2 evenings for 20 minutes or so each time, just checking everything out. When she comes out though, the boys think she wants to play so they run up to her and scare her. They just don't understand a kitty who doesn't automatically want to be buddies like they do!

Sassy is still doing well. She still spends a lot of time under the bed but is coming out more and more and exploring the apartment.

She actually jumped up and sat on my lap this evening for a little while

Now if only the thug twins (Riley and Xander!) would leave her alone! They just don't understand why she doesn't like them and keep trying to involve her in their "chase and wrestle" games and she just isn't interested

Click to expand...

well at least you know they like her

This is just the sweetest story... bless your heart for giving this girl a happy home until she can be with her family again. You've won her over so quickly! You must be a great kittymom.

Just an update.

Sassy is doing well. She is spending more and more time out and about with us in the living room and sits on my lap quite a bit in the evenings.

She discovered the turbo scratcher and just can't get enough of that. She is front declawed so likely has never seen one before. She loves it though.

She still wants no part of Riley and Xander and isn't a bit shy about telling them all about it when they bother her She also sleeps at the bottom of the bed most nights. No idea how long she will be staying, but she is sure a sweet and silly girl

Oh Paula, I'm so glad she's coming out of her shell! Poor baby, what she's been through. The boys sound like they're being very good nature about her... personal preferences.

What a great thing you are doing! Good news that Sassy is gaining confidence.
