I got an email from someone interested in Angel.
Here's their email:
I called the number on the one by one website and didn't get a call back. I was wondering if you could tell me, on petfinder under angle eyes there are 3 pictures. The first pic. looks like one cat and the 2nd & 3rd picture looks like a different cat. The cat in the 2nd & 3rd pic. looks like it has longer hair. Which one is angle eyes? I like the kitten in pic 2 & 3. Is this cat available? Please let me know. Thanks, christy
Here's Angels' Petfinder listing:
Angel Petfinder (http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=4552065&adTarget=&SessionID=42fe57ca4094a9f2-app3&display=&preview=0&row=100&tmpl=&stat=)
See a different cat :confused:
Here's my reply. I worked HARD on what to say:
Hi Christy, I am her foster mom.
The first photo (without the cast) is Angels Eyes and its the most recent photo. The other two are also her - much older pictures. She had a cast on her leg for two months, which forced her right paw into an unnatural scrunched postition, and unfortunately her paw is now not shaped properly. Her nails don't retract. As she recovers to being without the cast, it looks as if they never will. If you have children, this might become an issue because her nails get me often by mistake. I trim them as much as I can, but since her nails are sticking out, they're going to get you. We do NOT declaw. It is policy of One by One that our cats remain clawed their whole lives.
She is painfully thin due to a bout with chronic diarreah. All her tests with the vet have come back normal, so we're thinking its food allergy. So far, she is responiding a little to the prescription food and if she does, she'll have to remain on prescription food her whole life. She will not be available for adoption until her diarreah is completely under control and we determine what exactly is causing it. It could be weeks yet until that happens.
I have to be honest. She is not for someone merely looking for a cute and cuddly kitten. She's moving quickly out of kitten stage and into adult cat - she's already 5 months old. She will most likely have lifelong issues and will need someone willing and ready to provide her with vetinary care and proper food. It will not be inexpensive.
I hope I don't sound cross or short. I have just been through so much with Angels Eyes. She has ripped my heart out a hundred times. I have force fed her when she wouldn't eat and shoved one more dose of medicine into her than any other human dare do. I want to make sure that this little life goes to someone willing to love and care for her the way she needs and deserves to be loved.
Thank you for inquiring,
Kim
God, this is ripping my heart out. I will be able to let her go IF I know she is going to a GOOD home (ok, PERFECT would be more honest). How STUPID can people be to not want the lanky Angel, and only the fuzz-butt Angel. I didn't even waste my time with sending them a more recent photo. IF they respond to the above email I'll be surprised. Who knows, I might be completely off-base here, but I doubt it.
