Foster boys....... finally pictures too....

I will try to make this short . These two boys lived next door to my daughter's ex-boyfriend. He called me over a month ago and begged me to come take these cats as Animal Control was going to have to PTS because they were too traumatized. The wife came banging on the ex-boyfriends door and dumped the cats off on him. She was crying and was beat up. She said the man was continuously dunking them in the toilet and would try to put them in the freezer. She called the police because he was abusing her too. When I got there, I wanted to go over and the guy, I was filled with rage and also dispair at humanity and it's cruelty. Jason grabbed my arm to stop me and said that guy will kill you if you threaten him and the police were coming anyway. he is now in jail and has a restraining order against him from the lady. Anyway, I HAD no choice but to take those cats that day. I had the help from the shelter director immediately, we have a very close relationship. She tested them for all diseases, and they were negative. Got all shots, wormings, and I got them fixed at my TNR vet. I paid the extra $10.00 not to get their ears tipped. he does that. They are the most docile, calm, obedient cats I have ever known. Just very, very hungry and a real pain about wanting food . It took about a week or more for them to realize I wouldn't hurt them. Now, after about six weeks, they are well-adjusted cats and happily living amongst my other cats, all peacefully. I will only adopt them out together, as they have been through terrible abuse and they need to stay together. I will keep them anyway if I can't find a home. They are so easy and no trouble at all and get along great with everyone else. I named them Wendall and Walden. Walden is very loving and a lap cat, so I like that. Wendall just wants your food and will grab large pieces of pizza and run off with it if you don't watch him. He even grabbed Larry's subway sandwich the other day!!! Just very hungry boys...

Here is Wendall



More food PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! It is kitty heaven


We love eachother!!



AND WALDEN NOW



I am SO tired!!! I can't believe all the toys this lady has !!!!!!


Pipsqueak really likes Wendall


Six cats watching the birds in the bird bath


We have a room with a view!!! We love it here


They really are the sweetest boys. I just can't believe it. They are a joy to have around.

Laurie - YES, Walden has a very, very, very soft coat. I have never felt anything like it. You are sharp, noticing that. They each have gained over four pounds in six weeks!!!! They were very ill back then. the Super Six!!! I like that. They are NOT going anywhere unless the perfect home happens along. Even my sister loves them and was thinking of taking them. But she has Magilla and Tully. But she has had up to five cats before. I guess I don't want to let them go right now, maybe never.......

Calvin - No you did not miss a thread about them. I have been holding out on telling about them for fear of all of you thinking I was nuts. I have SO much grief in my life lately, that adding two more cats, you might think I have lost it. But, I did not have a choice. And am not sorry, they are absolutely wonderful boys. THen, I realized that, after all, this is THE CAT SITE and we are all a bit nuts anyway.....

Better late than never And actually in the beginning I wasn't sure I was going to have them very long. They were going to go into the shelter/kitten room. But there was no room opening up for them, GEE I wonder why????? And as the time has gone on, I have fallen in love with them. So it will have to be a really special home now.....

Yes, things are settling down and that is why I decided it was time to share these boys!!!! And I promise, I won't keep secrets from you all ever again

I am thinking it is official! They both are so incredibly easy-going I can't get over it. Walden won't even move for the vacuum cleaner. Wendall is into everything though, he even likes to chew on our toothbrushes in the morning to brush his teeth. He sits right along side the dogs for treats, has knocked a ceramic cookie jar off the counters to try to get at treats, will go inside of a chip bag and run off with a potato chip. One day last week I was making Larry's lunch and just finished the sandwich and turned around for a second to get a baggie and off Wendall ran with half of the sandwich trailing behind him. . Wendall has even tried to eat my vitamins when I place them on the counter I have had to learn very fast not to leave anything loose food related on the counter's. OR I guess I could try to teach them not to jump on the counters . I honestly don't think they had a "real" cat meal until my place. They will do almost anything for food. I have to watch him because he is a smaller sized cat and is already getting a big round belly. But it is hard to deny him food, he is just tooooooo cute!!!!! Walden is a real cool dude. He walks slowly, he is so laid back, and not much seems to ruffle his "feathers", just an all around sweet guy.

THE SUPER SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has a nice ring

Thanks FRIENDS . I knew I would get all of your support on this. I did find out the other day that the guy is still in jail!!! For animal abuse charges and domestic battery charges. I might have to go to court and testify on the condition of the cats along with Jason who took in the cats that one day. I will be happy to and will really have to keep my cool if I see the guy. I really am not a violent person in the least, BUT when it comes to innocent little cats being tortured like that, I really feel rage inside like non other before. .

I also found out from Jason, that these boys as kittens were given to the wife from her sister. Her husband never like the cats and refused to buy them food. That is why they eat anything we eat and try to steal food. He also would dunk them into the toilet and put them outside on their deck off of the patio (they live on the third floor) in frigid temperatures and told the wife that if she went to get them he would kill her. I am just hearing more and more of this story from Jason, as he is talking with the lady and helping her through this terrible time. She is grateful to me that I have the cats now and I have given Jason some pictures to show her so she can see they are doing well. I feel so bad for her. She just can't afford to keep them herself and is afraid that "the psycho monster" will come back and get them all. I really would like to give him a bit of his own torture and dunk him until he almost drowns too. .

I AM GOING TO KEEP THEM BTW!!!!!!!!!!! They are working out too well and we all know how hard it is to acclimate new cats into our homes. They are doing so well and everyone else has accepted them. Wendall is trying to see what he can get away with though, so I have to watch him. Perkins likes to pick on Perla (she gets so ruffled about things and hisses, and makes herself an easy target) and I think Wendall is picking up on what Perkins is doing to Perla. But, Pip comes in quickly like the Tasmania devil to put Wendall in his place. Wendall just sits there and sulks. Once he tried to touch Pip with his paw after he was reprimanded and the bonked him on the head REAL hard. Wendall just laid down and sulked .

They are really happy here and well-adjusted. BOY, do they love to eat

you sure did. They are here to stay. It is just to unbelievable how easily they fit into the household. Like they have been here before . I have never had intros go so smoothly and with such ease, very strange. Even Perla likes them, for the most part. Originally, I figured I would let them mingle with the four P's occasionally until I found them a new home as I expected it to take some time to find the right situation. Things went so beautifully, I started leaving them out for longer periods and now they are loose day and night except for feeding time, which they go into the foster room happily of course, anything for food. I just pray it keeps up. I was worried when they started to gain weight and get healthy things might change but they didn't. They have been a blessing to me also in a way in my time of need.
