Greta 9 yr old Kicked Outside! Please Help Her! I can help with Transporting!!

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=13953258



My name is Greta. I am about 9 years old and as you can see, I'm a Scottishfold. I had a very nice life a few years ago, but recently things have changed when my mom met a new boyfriend. I couldn't adjust to sharing my mom, so I was asked to leave. My mom still takes care of me, but I am living outdoors now. I can stay in the garage if it's cold or rainy, but it's not as comfortable.

I am hoping that someone can open their heart and home for me. I have a pleasant personality, but do enjoy having my person to myself. I don't demand much attention, I look forward to lots of quiet time. I look forward to being brushed and petted, playtime is something I don't get too much of, but once I am in a home I would have more time to be relaxed enough for play. I may need some patience at first in my new home, I have gone through alot and change is hard for me.

Shortly after I was put outside, I injured my eye. It doesn't look so great, but I have been to the vet and my injury appears to be cosmetic. I am hoping that someone can overlook this, I realize to many it makes me look ugly, but I'm hopeful that someone out there can see my inner beauty!

So you remember, my name is Greta. I am 9 years and deserve a safe home to live out the rest of my life. I am spayed and up to date with my vaccinations. Please, come see about me.

Greta is available as a private adoption. For more information, please contact Lori at 484-663-9967 or send emails to [email protected]



I'd be glad to help with transport as long as someone can take her, poor girl. Let's help find her a home ASAP!

:( Poor baby.. Such a sad story.. It just un-nerves me to read these stories of senior adults getting kicked out due to a new b/f.. Well what about the baby's life?? I realy sure hope this baby gets a furrever home very soon.. I sure would like to have her - but Tx is too far away.. Greta your such a Sweetie Pie..

Hi Melissa,

Greta is still available, but I do have one person who is applying for her, but distance may be an issue for them since they are out of state. We are in the Reading area. Where are you located?

Lori

Oh my, Greta is just adorable! How sad that this woman could be so cold hearted as to kick out a senior kitty. The boyfriend will be gone and she'll be left alone w/nothing but regret and rightfully so. The part that concerns me is that Greta would prefer to have her human all to herself. Does that mean that she also doesn't get along w/other cats?

I just e-mailed Lori and asked her that. I'm not sure. Poor Girl though.

I'm here for transport, I cover Boston - Baltimore and about half way across PA. I've been doing transports for about 3 years now.

Thanks Gill!!!

Hi Melissa,

Thanks for all your help. We have been trying to get Greta into a foster home, but adoptions slowed down since May and I don't have any foster homes available yet. If you knwo of anyone who would be willing to foster, that would help Greta immensely.

Here's more info on her background, which will help in finding the right home. One of our volunteers, Diane, runs a cat sitting business, Greta's owner is one of her clients. For this reason, we've been trying to be very diplomatic about how we handle the situation and are focusing on trying to find a home rather than criticize the owner! We truly cannot grasp how Greta was her favorite and now has been so neglected. Our volunteer nicely pressured her client to seek a new home for Greta, especially after her eye injury. Greta deserves better.

Here's a bit more that Diane has told me, since she knows Greta very well and I have only met the kitty once. She is a quiet cat. She'll need a family who will allow her plenty of adjustment time to a new home since she has a more introverted disposition. She will always greet Diane when she pet sits, because she knows her. She enjoys being petted and purrs, but she's reluctant around new people. Diane thinks she'd be happiest in a home where she's an only cat, but she had been living with 2 other cats at one point during her life and she seemed to tolerate them so long as she kept her distance.

Greta's owners also have a black lab, it seems that trouble started with the combination of new dog/new boyfriend. So, a home with a dog probably wouldn't work, I'm going to specify that on Petfinders. Greta had been on Diazepam for awhile after she began showing signs of stress, it did help, but Diane said they stopped giving her the medication instead choosing to put her out. Diane was quite shocked to learn about this situation, because medicating Greta had actually gone well.

Greta stays really close to her home, often in the garage. Diane is confidant Greta's choice would be to stay indoors. Diane is getting me a copy of Greta's vet records, so I can have a clearer idea what the vet thought was going on with her eye.

The man who has contacted me is in Rhode Island, which I think is manageable. But, I need to see what he thinks and will let him know transporting her is a possibility. We have one woman in Utah who was very nice, but said she would want to be considered in the case of now home coming up on the East coast.

Thanks again for all your help. I know the right home for Greta is out there!

Lori

What a sad story!!:(
Doesnt this idiot know that this creep is manipulating her, trying to bend her to his will, and once her usefullness is gone that he will ditch her and go to another victim.:eek::eek:
I hope she feels guilty about Greta , and that she learns a lesson about real love.:love::love:

Here's what I know so far, I got this e-mail from Lori this morning:


Thanks so much for your email. I do have one person in New Hampshire who
I've been emailing. He seems very interested, I emailed him more
information about her personality to really see if his home would be good
for Greta. If for some reason it won't be a good fit, I will let you know.

I will be in touch and let you know what happens. Let me know if you have
any other questions.


and I got this e-mail from someone is CA:


Hi Melissa:

Thanks for all of the hard work on Greta's behalf. I am shocked at how Greta is being treated. Shameful! I live in Cal, and have no other cats, if you can get her to Modesto, I will take her. I know that's a bit unrealistic, but I applaud your efforts. Good for you!

Regards

I know people of both sexes who desert their dear furbabies if a new love interest decides the pet is "in the way". I am trying to adopt an 8-year-old male cat I know who is locked in one little room because the new girlfriend is "allergic" to cats. She is not, however, allergic to her dogs. Such a shame!

Just let me know where , when, and where too. A single transport I can do with the Matia (also known as the high speed transport) for more I use a Toyota Tundra (nothing stops it).

:) Oh John your such a Blessing with a Bigg Heart.. So glad you can help with the transport.. God Bless You & Many Thanks for Helping so Much..

Thanks John! I will keep you posted so far I haven't heard anything yet today.

Melissa

I've called a Scottish Fold rescue and left a message. Hopefully they can find a foster home for this beautiful girl.

I'll let you know when I hear anything. This beautiful girl needs a furrrever home. And I hope the former owners rot in hell for doing this to her.:mad:
