Hi all. Been working taming 2 feral kittens. Age 8 wks
when I got them. Tamed nicely to my house. Not
as well socialized to people and noise however, as
my house is single, childless and quiet!
(Moderaters move this threat if you need to please?)
Looked desperately for homes, NO assistance from
animal groups (rescues) as they were "overwhelmed"
- dun. Me too! I tried Petfinder, local paper, and
vets. Nada luck.
Eventually took to AAWL.
Want to make sure they
are NOT PTSed! Because they are *understandably*
shy having been in childless house with few to no
visitors.
Very Very LOVING with me, and purr a storm
up. Box trained, combo tested negative on all counts,
and spent 300 dollars getting first shots/worming.
So, anyone in NoVA who can tell me that the staff
at AAWL will not recklessly PTS a healthy 4 mo
kitten due to shyness
- that can be cured by
more exposure to people and less stress?
I desperately want to keep but cannot (4 of my own, allergic
BF). And I desperately want someone who will love and
will look after and get GOOD home to assist. Would have
fostered had I a group to sponsor me, but could not
do it on my own and get a placement in a loving home by
myself... believe me I tried!.
Braveheart (all grey main coon mix) and Valiant
grey and white main coon mixes.
Please, please, please make me feel better about this!
And if anyone can go and visit who lives in NoVa (I am way out
of "close" to AAWL being in Loudoun BTW) and make sure
they are doing okay?
please please do. The animal nos. to check on them,
are A010128 and A010129 for intake purposes, surrendered
them yesterday, Nov. 19 (Sunday) at noon.
Tell me AAWL is NOT a bad shelter.
I cried all
night over this. They were so affectionate and loving
and I KNOW they can be great cats with a little understanding
on the adopter's part, but I WORRY about the staff at AAWL
being NON understanding.
Any help/comments?
