Please meet...Toby! update post #8

[Trinityagain]

Toby is going to become rescue number 24! Back in May we found a home for Fluffers, rescue number 23...a few weeks later a long haired black male cat started showing up..how do they know? Anyway, he is a major sweetheart. Has a squeaky little meow, loves to rub against and head bumpie you.....a friend is moving into an apt nearby at the end of this month in prep for starting school and he can have pets so Toby will be getting his own apt! And the best part is I will be able to visit! I called the local humane socitey this morning, they do a low cost neuter clinic so hopefully he will go for that on Sept 4. I will pick him up after the sirjury and take him straight to his new home...please keep your fingers crossed that Toby shows up for breakfast that morning!

tomorrow is the big day! he gets taken to the humane society for his sirjury at 8:30 and I pick him back up at 4:30. I didn't want to drive back and forth so I am spending the day with a friend who lives close. She is taking me kayaking! Please think happy thoughts that (1) he shows up for breakfast or the whole plan goes to heck in a handbasket and (2) the sirjury goes well...

He certainly does resemble Tubster Panther , My Black Giant!
Ebony Beau Tubster and his Grandfather Tubby 2 will be there with extra nice treats for Toby , and will let Toby know about the Fine Furrever Home that he is going to!!
We pray that eveyrthing gies smoothly that Friday Morning.

Yahoo! It worked! He showed up bright and early last Friday. Hubby had him in the carrier and ready to go before I even got out of the shower. We put the carrier outside our back sliding door and opened it so he could hear/see me, put a blanket over it as it was rahter chilly in PA last week at 5 in the mornig. He was fairly calm, didn;t freak out or anything. Got him to the humane society and picked him up that afternoon. He was telling me in no uncertain terms when I picked him up just how displeased he was with the whole thing but I put him in the car to drive back and he didn't make a sound all the way to his new home, about 20 minutes away. The person who is taking him in is a friend from high school that just moved into the area. He went shopping and bought toys and a scrathing post type of thing and treats...I think it'll be a good match up. Toby needs love and friendship and warmth and I think I can depend on this friend to give it to him....and I told Toby that I was only 5 minutes away if he needed anything...he just had to figure out how to dial the phone:cool:

And we had something really awesome happen Saturday morning. Our 5 year "stray" Bubs had disappeared almost 2 weeks ago. Toby liked to beat him up so Bubs probably left to get away from him. Well he came back Saturday morning! How he knew it was safe to come back I don't know, nor do I care. I was just happy to see him all healed up from the last beating he took....he is back to living in our garage and eating regularly....Toby makes rescue number 24! Small potatoes compared to some on PT but I'm tryin'!

He DOES look like Tubster Panther! How fun that his dad-to-be went shopping for kitty toys and treats! Best wishes to you in your new home, precious Toby!
