Honey is the sweetest cat. She loves attention and would probably be
happiest in someone's lap all day long. Her front legs are
underdeveloped and crooked. Her back legs are stiff and only move at
the hip. She manages to walk, but can't climb or jump and can't get
into a litterbox. We've got her using potty pads, but don't know if
that will be a good long term solution. We are wondering if there is an
adopter out there for her, or if we should consider euthanasia (she's
so sweet, we don't like to think of this option!). The people who had
her for the past 5 years (since she was born to one of their cats) got
tired of her and brought her to the shelter.

Suggestions, anyone?
Here's a video I made of her. Going to try and get something better
quality today.

Tired of her after 5 years. Nice. I'm maxed out at 7 so all I can offer are my prayers. Good luck in finding the sweet one a permanent home w/people who understand the meaning of love and commitment.

That poor sweet baby and those IDIOTS who tired of her after 5 years?:confused::eek::eek: That's sickening. Like Medusa, I'm maxed out at 6 of my own plus a foster recovering from her spay in my bathroom.

I hope someone can save this poor baby.

She is so adorable. What a sweet cat. You are lucky that you got the chance to know her. I hope that you can find someone in your county to help. God Bless!!

more, including a new video.

PS--A very, very good friend in TX, who doesn't post here, is considering taking her. She's willing to buy the kitty an airplane ticket but can't fly up there herself to get her. She wants to know if anybody knows if any airlines would let Honey fly unaccompanied?

I've never had experience w/flying animals anywhere so I can't help there but I just wanted to say that I do hope your friend takes her. The second video did it for me. How can people be so heartless to discard such a sweet girl because they're tired of her? If I could, I'd take her in heartbeat! Please keep us updated on her, PLEASE.

I will!! :)

If she can't get to the potential home in TX.. and if someone else good doesn't show up nearby.. Well, maybe we can figure out how to get her to Ann Arbor!

any news on this sweet baby, i am keeping all fingers and paws crossed for her to reach her new wonderful home.:love:

What a gorgeous girl she is... how could they just give her up after 5 years?! UGH!!! I wonder if massage would help her back legs?? I hope she can get a permanent home soon!

Oh, no, no "hard news" yet.

Hi, I just sent a message about Honey to HP.

Pat (phesina)

Critters I would love to adopt Honey. I have been wanting to adopt a cat similar to Beans ever since I took care of Beans. Please let the person know.
