Help! Healthy Himalayan In Danger Of Euthanasia In Quebec

[1 bruce 1]

I took screenshots of the Kijiji ad, plus I have the vaccination records for Chanelle and the two other cats. I have her full name, address and contact information (but there was a For Sale sign outside her house, so...)

I'll be contacting a vet friend of mine to get her input about reporting someone.

I wonder if the stress of moving had something to do with Chanelle's "behavior problems", and for some reason the owner never really bonded that well with her. Either way, she's precious (I love her video of batting the toy around first thing in the morning!)

FelisCatus I am trying to PM you and it says I can't start a conversation with you? Is that something that you have set? I can't figure out what is going on! Lol it's nothing important at all btw

Oh, yeah I have PMing turned off, it’s a setting under Contact Details.

I have turned it on temporarily though.

sjpennytoum sent me this lovely picture just now and said “Chanelle is exploring the apartment and the other 2 resident cats are watching her intently but curiously”

She is such a cutiepie

So pretty!

Hey all! Chanelle has had another good day, more exploring and playing, plus a good brush.

A question, since I've never lived with a declawed cat... She enjoys kneading carpet and a couple other rough surfaces in the room. Is there another kind of texture that I could provide her that she might enjoy?

Maybe a sisal scratching mat?

I actually took the pedals off my guitar pedal board, which is covered in sisal she loves it!

Stay on topic please.

OH GOD! That video! I have a sneaky feeling that some of her "health" issues may be stress-related, and we're going to see a whole, new Chanelle before this is over! Bet this is the first time she's really relaxed in a long, long time. We know that cats are energy sponges...how must she have felt, living in a place where she was disliked and resented? THANK YOU, both FelisCatus and sjpennytoum for rescuing this girl! Happy tears, here.

 

[sjpennytoum]

She's an amazing girl and I'm going to do what I can to keep her happy

ALSO: I will be taking Chanelle to my trusted vet on Wednesday evening to talk over her "issues", have my vet look at her papers, and get some recommendations regarding her diet (her previous owner had her exclusively on dry food, even though Chanelle's had multiple teeth pulled).

 

[kittyluv387]

When feliscatus mentioned her issues I suspected it could be due to her unpleasant environment.

Another update (Sorry about the dark video):
My cats still watch Chanelle closely, but they're starting to relax around her

This warms my heart, what sweet girls. I love it. How could someone hate her?? I still can't get over that.

Are you going to be keeping this cat? She is so beautiful. I'm glad she was rescued.

I think (considering my capacities and my apartment) two cats is my maximum, for ownership at least. I am very happy to foster Chanelle until a loving, trustworthy home is found for her.
