hoping to adopt new kitty!!

Omegosh I am SOOO excited about this and hope it works out. There is a catshow here next weekend and a breeder of scottish folds will be there. She has several older kitties she is "retiring" and who are in need of homes. I have put in my request for one of them and just HOPE she is still available!! I am waiting to hear back from the breeder - she is currently at a catshow near where she lives today so maybe she will answer this evening!

Sorry - wanted to delete the picture and forget this:( I will delete the whole thread in a few days so ya'll don't wonder about what happened:(

She's such a sweetheart and I sure hope that you'll be able to adopt her.:D Scottish Folds are supposed to have great personalities and you can never go wrong with an orangie.:) Do you know how old she is? She sure looks young to me.

Aww! She's so cute! My hairdresser had a Scottish Fold named Murray - we called him furry, purry Murray. He is now living with a friend in New York. They have great purrsonalities! Of course I know you will keep us posted on the progress.

Yes, KAK, she is young. The breeder has five other adults but this girl is the one I want! Here is what her description says about why she needs adoption:

Marty is a cream/cameo mackerel tabby folded ear shorthair. She is a champion and over half way to her Grand Champion. I was planning on breeding her, but she had a disaster litter and I’ve decided to go ahead and spay her. She is a calm, quiet and sweet cat. She has wide open doll-like eyes and a sweet expression. She is not aggressive about attention but does love people and will come for attention in the evening when the house is quiet. She about 2.

I soooo want this kitty! I even love the name as that is my pen-name that I normally use on Internet forums. Is that a sign?? :D Yes, of course I will keep you up to date. I have been writing to several breeders of folds. There others available in other locations but this pretty girl I would not have to have shipped. I saw my first fold at a cat show several years ago and was just smitten with them! This month's Cat Fancy also features the breed. I cannot justify buying a kitten so I thought the "retired" adult was my best option to ever have a purebred. I have kept watch at the local shelters but there has never been a fold. :rolleyes: This girl sounds just like what I am looking for!! I think I will cry if I find out she has been placed but she was only listed on Thursday and the breeder had a show to attend about 4 hours from home - yesterday and today - so unless someone adopted her at the show (and she was even brought along!) I am hoping she is at home and waiting for me!! Dennis says YES also:)

I never really thought I would have a purebred - but if I ever did, I wanted a fold. What sold me was a series of books I read a few years ago - can't remember the name but about this guy and his travels with his scottish fold kitty. Anyone remember the name?? edit: I just remember the cat was named Norton!! He was pretty famous, too (author and cat) I had never even heard of a scottish fold before! So, I read up on the breed and Dennis and I went to see some at a show a couple years back in Dayton and saw them and talked with the breeders, etc. We also looked at Ragdolls which I had been wanting before that. But, like I said - I cannot justify spending so much money for a purebred, myself. This way - I can have a purebred and still be adopting!! The cost is not bad - about like a shelter! But, the breeder has to evaluate us, our home, our pets, etc. I mailed them all about us, pictures, name, addres and phone of our vet, etc.
:rolleyes: just have to wait!! The breeder should be home sometime tonight - hope to hear from her - maybe tomorrow. :D Yes, I had to do some searching and sleuthing to figure her whereabouts and found out all I could!!

Sher is adorable. How good that the breeder decided that one "disaster litter" was enough for the poor sweetie! Hope everything works out ...

Marty is adorable! I've always wanted a Scottish Fold myself. I didn't know they came in orange/cream/mackerel. I wonder what "disaster litter" means? Genetic problems? Or maybe she was too young to me a mother? Or ??
Oh well, I'm sure she'll have a long happy, healthy life with you guys. Should be interesting to see how Princess Emily and Princess Lizzie handle adding another Princess to the family. :D

Brats!:p I am right with you though! If she calls tonight or e-mails that Marty is adopted, I am going to cry and cry!! I figure she should be just getting home about now though. I did all the...uhm...sleuthing that I could and know she was at a cat show all weekend that is 4 hours from where she lives:cool: Then, worrying that she would not check her e-mail, I found her home phone and left a message on her recording. Well, I *think* it was her number anyway - if not - someone will have a very strange message to listen to! Maybe she will think I am too persistent and obnoxious?:rolleyes: I hope to hear back by tomorrow evening - wouldn't you think?? :rolleyes: :) :o

how adorable Debbie!
I went to a cat show in 2003 and there was a breeder there with them and there was one up for adoption also - soooo sweet!!
I was totally in love with him and a persian! :)
Good Luck!

[ Maybe she will think I am too persistent and obnoxious?:rolleyes:

Or maybe she'll think this lady REALLLLLY wants this baby and if she found my phone number through sleuthing, she must be intelligent and persistent (nothing wrong with persistence in MY book) and would be attentive to this cat. Just maybe this breeder would see your actions and qualities as big pawsitives!!! Good luck, Debbie! I, too, am excited for you and will be on the edge of my seat til we hear from you on Marty. :)
