Delta

That is so sad about poor little Delta. At least you know she will be OK
with you.

How can people be that cruel to poor little animals? I can understant people
not liking animals, there are s minute few I dislike (rats and mice) but
never EVER would I harm them in anyway.

Every little creature is special....if only to one person

Goodluck with her, you sound like a good mum

Purrs that she is OK

Well as you know, Delta was beaten by her new slaves and becuase of
that she is no longer available as a foster and is unofficially mine.
She is responding well and is playing with her new buds the bengal
trio I am fostering.

As for fostering my TED and I have decided that we want nothing to do
with the people we have been fostering for and we will have enough
fosters just on routine matters.

Delta is healing and I and the boys (Winkin, Blinkin and Nod (I DID
NOT NAME THEM)) love her and have shown her lots of affection. She has
a bit to go but at least she hasn't lost any of her cuddlyness or her
happiness.

She does cower and shake when I am stern with her but I will/could
never hurt her. The most I have ever done to a cat is spray them with
slightly smelly water ( 3 drops of vinegar per liter).

Vet says that the stiches can be removed week after next. Thankfully
the vet talked me out of doing what I wanted to do or I would be
writting this from prison right now, rather than my home.

I would go further into details but it is making me sick thinking
about it.



I have come to a decision: I hate people in general and specific.

I'm glad that you're there to take care of her, and that she is
responding. Purrs that all contiunes to go well for her.

Unfortunately, they sometimes have long memories, Little Bit has been
living here for a couple years, but still runs and hides if I pick up
a fly swatter.

Sunny, my first cockatiel, is terrified of gloves. She's been with me
since 1990 when I returned from the first Gulf War. The pet store gave
her to me (of course I still ended up paying them over $100 for a
cage) because she had a broken wing.

Kudos to you for taking care of her, and *Messy* litter box droppings to
whoever abused her. I have a male cat that has been skittish and afraid
since I have had him since he was around seven weeks old. Someone was
really bad, and abused him in some way. In time he has learned to trust
me a little, and it has been over three years. The best I can suggest is
not raise your voice, and minimize loud noises around her as much as
possible. Placing her in a room by herself for a while - if possible -
can help as well. Any type of discipline is best avoided until she comes
around.

Unmitigated wrath of Bast on those who would harm a small cat in that
manner. May the Almighty see that justice for her is someday done to those
who did this to "the least of these, thou doest unto Me". Delta is fortunate
to have your care.

we are sending lots of healing purrs, cuddles, and headbutts to Delta - and
the biggest, stinkiest litterbox offerings to her abusers.

and some comforting hugs to you, too, John.

This is such a terrible story. I have a question, one that concerns me
because I foster cats and kittens, and sometimes I'm in the position of
deciding whether to allow someone to adopt my fosters. My question is
this: was there anything about these people that raised a flag for you
when you talked to them about adopting Delta? Understand that I'm not
attempting to blame you for anything that happened to her. I'd just like
to have any information I can get about people who turned out to be
animal abusers, so I can have a "profile" in my head when I interview
prospective adopters. How did they seem to you, before you gave Delta
to them?

I'm so glad to hear that she's healing.

And I don't blame you for your "conclusions" about humans! (But I hope
that your association with the many wonderful humans on this ng will
eventually heal *you* from this traumatic event.)

Delta not wanting to go should have been proof enough. I kick myself
for letting the fostering service make that decision. Well the vet and
I concur that from now on we listen to the animal. If it says NO then
it means NO

They are my children, anyone harms them then they shall be punished in
the worst way that I can.

Fortunately the abuser in question was on probation for a lesser
offense. The officer in charge of the investigation told me that this
alone is enough, becuase of the seriousness of the wounds to violate
him.
