Lucky and Chance Update

[aly]

I got an email from a very nice couple of men who would like to visit Lucky and Chance and are very interested in adopting 2 cats. I'm still waiting to hear back from them, but the visit will probably be Wednesday or Thursday evening. Keep fingers and paws crossed that these guys will be good for my boys! Lucky and Chance both like men so they'll be happy to have 2 daddies :)

Oh I hope they're just what the boys need, Aly. :D Fingers and paws crossed for a great couple of Daddies!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way, that Lucky and Chance have found their forever home.

Aly, I sure hope that everything works out and that Lucky and Chance will be adopted together. All fingers and paws are crossed here. Please keep us posted.

[NoahsMommy]

Ooooh! That IS good news, Aly. :) I'll be crossing my fingers everything works out.

Let us know?

[aguu]

Oh no!!
Does that mean that we may no longer get pictures of those cuties?
Maybe you could work in some sort of stipulation about joining PT and posting picture updates????? PLEASE...

[aly]

I'll try to have them keep us updated, but I'm not even sure if the adoption will go through. I'm actually still waiting to hear from them about a meeting time.

Don't worry, I won't let my boys go unless its to a perfect home.

I am away for a week and you start to adopt out my favorite kitty boys;)

I am sure you won't give them to a less than purrfect home but I'd still prefer them in purple;)

[aly]

These guys have 3 dogs and a Bengal kitten. They say they want AT LEAST two of my fosters (Lucky and Chance), but might even adopt another one! They are so sweet. They want affectionate, indoor-only kitties to spoil. My boys will make them very happy.

The only thing I am worried about is their doggy door. They said they want cats who will not want to go outside because they do have the door. But Lucky is a very curious boy and I'd hate for him to slip out. I am going to talk to them more extensively about this though. They are going to come visit my cats next Tuesday.

Barbara - I didn't want you to see this thread! Hehe :) I really do want to keep the boys, but I can't afford all these cats. I wish I could. But this home seems like it'll be great for the boys and I will definately keep you all updated and make them send me pictures a lot!

Okay, I've kept quiet about this since you first posted but now that Barbara is back I will step forward.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't give them away, you have to keep them!

Okay, with that off my chest, I am really concerned about the dog door. I know that if any of my cats had access to one they would go outside in a heartbeat. I can't imagine any cat, no matter how content of a house cat, not wanting to go out through it at some point and probably sooner than later. That really worries me about Lucky and Chance. I wouldn't think these guys are going to close off he dog door either - not with three dogs.

I know you will do what is best for them so I'm not trying to give you grief. I just really, really, really love those guys and would miss them terribly.:(

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I know for cats they have doors that only open if they have the right collar on, so maybe they could get one like that for the dog? I think it's some electronic signal or something that opens it if the signal is present or in the absence of the signal it won't open. I believe they make these for cat doors because other critters (such as raccoons) have been known to come and go through non-monitored doors. I think this would be the perfect solution, and I don't think they are all that expensive.

Good luck!:D

[kimlovescats]

Great idea, Debbie!!! Oh Aly, this sounds like a very nice home for the boys..... how could they go wrong with names like Chance and Lucky???? :D

[jazzcat]

I've never heard of that collar, that is pretty neat.

Okay, I'll rethink my view if they have something like that.

[aly]

Don't worry :)

I'm VERRRRRRRRRY picky about where my babies go. If it won't be a safe environment for them, they won't go there. I will do a home visit before they go over there and check the door out. I'll also talk to the men about possible options.

As a side note, I got an email from a woman who just lost her Bombay. She's very interested in either Magic or Merlin.

*sniff* My babies are all going to leave me :(

[krazyaboutkatz]

This is great news!!! Hopefully all of your fosters will find new loving homes very soon.:) Then you'll be able to foster more cats and kittens.:)

[jazzcat]

That would be great if Magic or Merlin found a furrever home! Maybe the lady might consider both to keep each other company????

Keeping our fingers crossed on that one.

[aly]

These guys are GREAT!!!!!! They seem very responsible and I think this just may be the perfect home for Lucky and Chance! Here is a portion of the email he just sent me:

I have a pet door idea that I may have to invent if I can't find one already made. You probably know about the pet doors that only open if the animal is wearing a collar with the right radio frequency. These are a great idea for keeping other animals out, but the problem with trying to keep cats in is that the cats just learn to follow the dog out. What I'd like to find is one that comes with 2 types of transmitters-- one that opens the door, and one that locks it (where lock overrides open). You put
the open collar on the dog, and the lock collar on the cat. That way, if the cat is following the dog, the door won't open for either, but if the dog is at the door alone, it will open.

[Barbara]

I think they may be ok IF they can be convinced to join PetTalk.

BTW I would know a guy here who could do a construction like this. Maybe they should ask whether they can give the problem to a class of electronics students:cool:
