Nobody wants Alejandro:( - Page 2

I guess I'm a little overprotective, I just want people to treat them like I do just give them all the love in the world and treat them like they deserve I know they hunt and that is in their nature, I just don't want baby Alejandro to be treated like that, I want him to be safe and loved.

How can anyone resist that FACE?!? Her person/people will come. Thankfully we have been REALLY successful lately in getting black cats adopted, I think because we're pulling on heart strings and TELLING people their less adoptable! A fellow foster mom had one one of her black kittens adopted yesterday, I recently had Brooklyn, my black adult foster, adopted and Jace, who is a beautiful black adult girl, was recently adopted at a local store that showcases SPCA cats.

Good luck to this darling!

I'm glad. Once somebody adopts a black cat, they get over the "bad luck" idea pretty darn quickly. If we can just tempt them into giving black cats a chance, we might beat the bad-luck myth yet!

Besides, how can you resist the tiny-panther look of a black cat? It's just gorgeous. People often don't think about the beauty of the "ordinary" cat colors; but take a good close look at a brown tabby some time and then try to tell me he isn't beautiful!

(Also, Tiny's sitting in my lap and watching the cursor as I type this. I think he knows!)

I can't believe he hasn't been adopted yet! When I saw the first pictures of him when he was smaller I thought he'd find home super fast. His eyes are so mesmerizing!

Lots of vibes for Alejandro to find his perfect forever home

I think you're not being too strict with selecting him a new home. I wouldn't give kittens to be indoor/outdoor cats either. I can't understand how someone thinks it's a good idea to let a kitten outside without supervision, and I'd think very carefully even with a grown up cat. I've seen it end up in misery most of the time.

I never understood the superstitious part about black cats. People are so ridiculous sometimes. That thought didn't even cross my mind when I took Parker and MJ. Their personalities were so awesome, I didn't care what color they were.

I hope you find a wonderful home for this little guy. He is super cute!!

Love the bow! He's so adorable.

I think the whole black cats are bad luck superstition is a bunch of horse hockey. Its yet another old saying that they only took a small part of to make a stupid superstition. Sailors used to see black cats being good luck not bad. They thought they brought good luck and that they could also detect how the voyage would go and if they would run into storms while out to sea. The wives of sailors also often kept black cats at home because they thought they could influence their husband's journey. In the 19th century, many thought black cats could bring about many types of luck. For example, if a black cat would walk towards you, its bringing bad luck to you with it. If it walks away from you, its taking the bad luck with it. Also, sailors also beleived that if a black cat walks onto a ship then walks off of it, that ship is doomed to sink. Also, there's an english proverb that states "Whenever the cat of the house is black, The lasses of lovers will have no lack." In Scotland they say a black cat sitting on the porch is said to bring prosperity and then a cat in the audience on opening night of a play says the play will be a hit. So there's many myths and superstitions about black cats, not all bad. It irks me that there's still people that beleive that load of horse hockey and won't get a black cat just because its "bad luck." Phooey on them

Tammy, I'm so sorry Lucas is stressing.

Is there ANY family member or friend that might be willing to foster Alejandro for a little while - just to give Lucas a break - while you keep looking for a home? Maybe even just a week or so?

Keeping up the vibes the right home turns up soon!

Thank you all.
hi Laurie No, there is absolutely no one to help me with Alejandro, no one. I'm alone in this, I never get any help, none of my family members have the time to do it and none of my friends wants to do it. I can't blame them becasue they are not used to cats , and it is not easy for people who has never had a cat to suddenly take care of a kitten.

i received another call for Alejandro today, she told me she wanted him, only if he was very fuzzy and looked like a persian or a similar breed..... go figure! Why are people so superficial when it comes to a kitten???? Not good!

Good lord. People that superficial shouldn't own Persians, either--the second Kitty gets matted fur or has to have her face cleaned or whatever, they'll wimp out on the cat-ownership thing.

I see you're from Puerto Rico; is it different there with cats? Do people own fewer cats, or think less of cats in general? You'd think at the very least they would realize that cats are great for making sure your house doesn't have bugs or mice in it. Mine do that job very well.

He is just so adorable! How can anyone not want him? I just made my husband come into the computer room to look at the picture and he fell in love with him. But we've got 3 now (I know some people have even more), and right now I think 3 is all we can handle. The last 2 were strays who showed up at our door. Pls keep trying to find a good home --- maybe you can keep him --- after all you dressed him up so beautifully, gave him a name-
- so now maybe he is meant to stay with you.

What a handsome little man!
I love his bow.
I kid you not: if I was anywhere near you I'd break my "three cats is enough" rule...

Alejandro found a home today.. they seem like a nice couple, but somehow I'm just sad, I don't feel good, I don't know what it is. I can't really keep Alejandro, but I feel like I shouldn't give him up, i feel horrible and unsure. I feel like crying. I can't do this anymore...

UPDATE! After meeting them in person I'm feeling a lot better now about Alejandro's new home! They are such a nice young couple. They will keep Alejandro indoors, they will take him to the vet tomorrow and soon have him neutered. They are soo happy and they fell completely in love with Alejandro. I felt good enough to let them take him today, so Alejandro just went to his new home.


I miss him with all my heart, I had a special bond with him because he was so tiny 4 weeks ago when i rescued him.

I feel better now, but this si just so painful for me, to raise a baby kitten and then give him away. It just makes me so sad, I say I don't want to do it anymore, but I know if I see a kitten in distress I will do exactly the same.

Now, i have to pray that Alejandro will be ok and focus on Lucas and my other kitties, they have been suffering so much since Alejandro got here.

Thank you all for your prayers and vibes, they worked!!

Hugs to all

Tammy

I'm so happy that he found a home!!! It sounds like a good one too! Did you tell them about this site? Maybe they can post updates on him so that he is still part of the family so to speak.

Tammy, what wonderful news! Of course that little bundle of joy stole your heart - he stole all of ours too!

Gary and I always felt terrible after adopting out foster kitties. It's just NOT our thing! It's such important work, but some people are just better cut out for it than others, that's just the way it is.

They sound like a wonderful home for the little guy. Comfort yourself as best you can in knowing you saved a kitty that's going to be very, very happy. (They're all traitors when they go to their new homes, and I'm sure he'll settle right in!) A few for you and for little Alejandro in his new home.

You will feel SO much better as soon as you see how much less stressed Lucas is!

Thank you all so much! I feel much better, but I still can't get Alejandro off my mind, this always happens to me. I feel happy for him, I know he will be just fine. I gave them his favorite blankie and his toys, I went and bought his favorite foods and also gave them his food bowl, I just like sending them withb all their familiar things.

yes, I know, it is so hard, I wish I could do this and feel like nothing happened, is just too hard for me and I don't think it will never get easy. I hope I don't have to do this again for some time.

I just hope my lucas can relax, he hasn't been eating well and he has been vomiting a lot lately.

OMG, I just found this thread, but I would SWIM from Orlando to Puerto Rico in about two seconds to pick up this little baby!!! He is so so so cute I seriously started crying just looking at the pics (in a good way!) Screw the pet limit for my apartment, I would have taken him in a heartbeat and Boots and Kramer and the leasing office would just have to deal. :P

HOW COULD ANYONE RESIST HIM??? He's so incredibly precious!! The red bow sealed the deal.

On to the real topic: YAAAAAAAY for Alejandro finding a forever home!!! I'm so glad you screened out potential adopters to prevent the crazies from getting at him.

So glad to hear this little baby has a loving family.
