Going to SPCA tomorrow (*not* adopting myself)
Hi all:
Inspired by my trip to the SPCA, I was telling my brother and SIL about some of the cats there. They had just decided that their cat, Melba, was lonely and were thinking of adopting another one. I am going tomorrow AM with my SIL to look at one that they've been looking at online. They need an especially mellow fellow for their high strung girl who is prone to litterbox issues and tummy troubles. She is also very lonely since my brother is working and my SIL in school full time. They've found one online who is so mellow he's part of some feline club there where they all live together in a big room. I will see if little Star is out yet and if I can visit with him.

I hope they found what they were looking for... or could Star possibly be a good match? Wouldn't it be nice to keep him in the family? Update please! -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

I phoned in advance and they said that he was approved for adoption today but was in the holding area till a viewing space became available. They said that I could ask to see him. When I actually got there, the rep said that I couldn't see him because he was in quarantine, which I don't believe was true. My brother and SIL went back tonight and found that he wasn't out either. My SIL has a thing for long haired cats, particularly black ones. The one she looked at online was not what she was looking for but another, Sylvester, really jumped out at her. He put on a show for her and was hugely affectionate and outgoing. She put him on hold so that my brother could see him tonight. He liked Sylvester but remains concerned about their existing cat so they didn't pull the trigger tonight. Their cat is a female who was traumatized by a fairly psychotic female should-be-only cat that they ended up rehoming with my SIL's mom. This cat would prevent Melba from using the litterbox and eating and Melba developed all kinds of stress related symptoms. They've finally got her under control and Mark is worried about pushing her over the edge with the wrong fit. OTOH, she is very lonely with my bro and SIL out of the house all day now and would probably do very well with a mellow fellow. SO, they've gone home to think about it so we'll see what they decide to do. It was murder again today to see them all and not take any home. Susan M Otis and Chester |
