Help! Healthy Himalayan In Danger Of Euthanasia In Quebec

[kittyluv387]

So I was browsing reddit and someone mentioned this cat. Apparently the owner wants to euthanize this cat if he doesn't get a home by the 15th, tomorrow! Why? Because her son is allergic. Absolutely horrible. The cat is declawed on all 4 claws too. The terrible owner wants $300 for adoption of this purebred? But maybe she could be talked down? I'm really hoping someone in the area can possibly take this cat in?

Edit: She understands english but replies in French.

I am in Ontario not too far away... unfortunately I already have more cats than I should and I exhausted all of my money trying to save my last cat from her fight with cancer ($2,000+).... if we could raise the $300 I would gladly take her in though. I could probably go after work tomorrow and arrive back sometime next morning. Worth it to save a kitties life!

I can also help out with the adoption fee if we're short after attempting to talk her down.

Could you try contacting her to see what the current situation is? I just felt horrible about this poor cat.

You got that right!

I’ll read the thread, message her and post back.

I have never had a Persian/Himalayan kitty cat... anything I would need to be aware of @posiepurrs GaryT ? Keep in mind they are declawed on all 4s.

Thank you sooooo much. You are truly wonderful for even looking into this at all. Thank you! I knew this would be the right place to post this.

I can help with the adoption fee as well but not until the morning. I can send through Paypal if you have it FelisCatus

I will give her a call instead... need to explain to her it's like an 8 hour drive and I wouldn't arrive until 10-11pm... unless I can get a half day off at work or something.

Went to voicemail... I will send her an email for now and try again in 30 mins. In the meantime do you want to post this thread on Reddit and ask if anyone can chip in?

I would post proof pics of picking her up and such of course.

I haven’t spoken French since high school so I think she will hate me... haha

Definitely!

I wish I could help! I have never dealt with a de-clawed cat! What kind of person does this? And what kind would rather kill a pet than offer it to someone who would cherish it?????

I would chip in but, I am on a fixed income and I just installed a new boiler last fall and I am digging out of that hole. I hope all goes well!

depends on the cat. Did she comb it? Is it all full of tangles now? If the kitty has never been combed, it can be difficult. You need to get them accustomed to it right from day one and do every day. Theo loves it now.

 

[kittyluv387]

Let me know if you had a different message in mind...I'm new at doing something like this.

They do look very well taken care of:

Looks great.

Are you all sure this isn't some sort of scam?

I'm hugging my cats close to me right now, grateful for them being in my life

I mean, some 'people' might try to force a quick sale by saying they will put a cat down... but is it worth the risk? The kitty cat did nothing wrong, no reason they should be killed.

When I read her Kijiji post she mentions the kitty cat will pee outside if the litter box is not cleaned often... I am guessing this is actually due to having been completely declawed so the litter hurts their paws. I highly doubt a person like her would put the time and effort in to learning regardless...
