How rude! It really irks me when people don't answer you. :mad: (can you tell this is a really sore subject with me!!?!)
Of course, as you probably know, waiting is NOT one of my string suits.
I sure hope you get an answer, it is frustrating not knowing.
I am really frustrated Jen. The kitty was available just this last Thursday - and the breeder was gone all weekend. I sent three e-mails full of everything she would want to know about us and then left a telephone message as well. I don't know what to think.
It does not seem likely that the kitty is already gone..but if so, I just want to know:( My interest, intent and excitement was MORE than obvious.
I've been home today wanting to add her to my siggy - guess I get carried away.
I hope you hear news soon!!!! Boy, Marty is such a cutie! I've heard so many good things about Folds from various people. I am wondering too, what is a "desaster litter"?
Pawsies and fingers crossed for you!
Oh Debbie, {{{Hugs}}}!
I was hoping there would be an update!
Do you have another way to contact this person? Like a phone number or anything? That would be good ;)
I hope that she contacts you soon, and I'm sure Marty isn't adopted yet!
No news yet debbie? Oh my, that breeder takes his time to answer his mail!! cannot he/she feel how much you want this cutie???? I really hope so much that Marty will be yours!!!!
Oh Debbie, I know how you feel, I am the world's worst WAITer!!! :rolleyes:
Oh I hope you get this beautiful boy.This cat will be in the best possible home if he goes to your home.I wish the breeder would know this somehow.
She's sooo cute. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!
I'm impatient just waiting for the news... I can only imagine how many thousand times a day you've been checking your email for an answer!
Ok Deb give me the number and I'll call her after work tonight. No One ignores my friend:mad: I'm so exicited for you to get precious Marty. I would give her another call today. Persistance usually pays off in the long run.Quote:

If that doesn't work e-mail me the number and I'll call for you.
:D :D :D Just as the Detroit VA Office. I love being a nucisance (sp?) to them.
Debbie, I haven't had a chance to reply to as many posts as I'd like, but I just wanted to let you know I'm hoping and praying this person has a good reason for not responding to you yet. :mad: Marty is just too adorable and it would be so cool to have our first Scottish Fold on PT!
Come on people, respond already!
We are keeping our fingers and paws crossed for you Debbie. Hope you get some good news soon. Marty is a sweetie. :)
Nicki x
Anything at all? I want to know! Mainly just because I know if that cutie comes home with you I'll get to see TONS of pictures :)
Still hoping that that darling Nermal look-alike will be coming your way......and soon!!!!
Prayers and postive thoughts on the way that you get nothing but good news on this cutie patootie.
:rolleyes: .....
:mad: ......
:( ..........
:rolleyes: .......
Nothing yet! I DID call her back again at about 6pm her time - nobody home. I left a VERY plaintiff message asking her to PLEASE call or e-mail - even if the news is bad - that I really was anxious to know about adopting this girl. I have made it clear that if Marty is available - my home is ready for her!! I even spelled out my e-mail for her. She has my phone number from my first message and in the e-mails. So, I have sent three e-mails and left 2 telephone messages:rolleyes:
Maybe there is a good reason like she is working long hours or maybe had a trip to make - I don't know. The catshow is here on Saturday only, beginning in the morning and she says on the website that she will be here in Dayton. Maybe she is not coming or something - but I still wish I knew and asked to please tell me something one way or another.
So sorry to get everyone else all excited. I REALLY have let myself set my heart on her - (made her my desktop) - not a smart thing to do I guess. I just felt SO SURE!! Well, it could still happen, right??
I will keep looking for my fold regardless. I have written other breeders as well, asking them to consider me when they have an older cat that needs a home. Shipping runs around $200 from the various states I checked. I am saving up my nickles!! Who knows? Maybe there will be another breeder at the show on Saturday?? And maybe they will have some adults to retire?? I really want MARTY though!!!
I could *almost* whine!!WAHHH!!!!!!
I could scream in desperation for you! How frustrating! :mad:
{{{HUGS}}} I hope you hear something soon!
AWWW Debbie, this is so unfair of this woman to put you through this.

Never apologize to us Debbie. We are all here for the excitements, the disappointments,and the heartbreaks. When someone goes through these feelings, we go through them with that person. We are here to listen and to lend our support.
Hang in there, YOU WILL GET YOUR SCOTTISH FOLD!!!!:D
(((((HUGS)))))
Oh Debbie, I'm so sorry you're having to wait this long for a simple answer. Hopefully there is a good reason.
:) I'll be crossing my fingers for you.
Debbie, Just remember that if it's meant to be it will happen and if not then I'm sure you'll find another Scottish Fold very soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are on the way.:)
Too bad you don't live in California because the last few cat shows have had Scottish Folds for sale. Some were kittens and I think that they were also retiring some of them.:)
I hope she's considerate enough to call soon.Good Luck on Marty.I'm sorry I thought Marty was a boy.Marty is a beautiful girl.I forgot that Marty is a two way name.I know two woman named Marty too.How could I forget.:)
Any news?!
WAAAH!!!!! NO!!! WAAAHHH!!!!Quote:

Debbie, Does this woman live close to you? Maybe you should just go over to her house. I sure hope that she gets back to you soon. Good luck.:)
KAK: I am in Ohio and and she is in South Carolina. I wrote again last night and told her if she was not able to bring Marty to the catshow here where I live this weekend, we would drive to get her! (She was scheduled to be here!!) Dennis has been wanting to go to South Carolina anyway (he was born there) He has places he wants to show me:) So....we will see! It sure seems strange that she will not answer me but there must be some good reason.Quote:

How frustrating! I was hoping, because I had found this thread so late, that there would be some kind of resolution at the end of it. Marty is beautiful! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
They surely will send Marty to the wrong house if she doesn't go to yours.What a shame.I hope they call you for Marty's sake.
I DID hear back from the breeder this morning!! Marty was just spayed on Tuesday, is still feeling "wimpy" and she is not "sure" she will be able to bring her to this catshow here this weekend..... But, she suggested we meet up with her in April - when she is fairly nearby at another show (Detroit). So Marty is still with her!!
I sent back an e-mail - pretty much pleading for her to bring Marty (since she said not *sure*) - but also agreeing that I would wait and consider the other retiring adult folds she has - I told her exactly what I want - sweet, loving, lapkitty companion, etc - and asked for her suggestion about which cat would be the best match - she already knows about all my cats. Still, I ended by saying I felt like I was already in love with Marty - would take her for a spay follow-up to my vet, etc...a little begging and groveling :rolleyes: I wonder if my five cat situation even sounds good to a breeder placing her cats?? I was reading that some will only place cats in certain homes with no more than 2 other cats, no dogs, etc. The woman sounds very nice! She apologized for not responding sooner - having taken off work to do some home remodeling.
Still, sooner or later here, it looks like I WILL be adopting a Scottish Fold like I have been wanting - just not sure who it will be - maybe pretty Marty..I hope so!!:D
I guess I need to be patient - but I sure do want this kitty:D
I hope it's Marty.I'm glad she called back.Too bad she just couldn't ship her down somehow.
Well, I am glad that you finally heard! Do you think a few (hundred Pet Talk) referrences would help her to know that you are a good kitty mom????
Funny Jen:D I am really not sure how breeders of purebreds think - you know? What do they consider a good home? I told her I was not interested in purchasing a purebred and that all my kitties were shelter or rescues. I wonder if this sounds like a negative thing:rolleyes: Well, it is the truth and how I feel. I *want* a fold but could never justify the cost of a kitten or "show" cat - have no interest in that sort of thing. I like going to shows - but am not a "showcat" person you know??Quote:

So if she had 100 PetTalk references - would that be a good thing?? Most of us prefer needy kitties!! Ok I am rambling - but you get my drift - I am not sure that my home situation is attractive to a breeder thinking about placing her kitties:rolleyes: *I* know I would treasure and love this kitty to death ...but??
They'd be fools not to think about the gift of someone loving a rescue instead of buying a cat to show off because of it's breed or looks.
I am so glad you finally heard something and that Marty is still available! Maybe she will decide to bring her this weekend afterall! Fingers and paws crossed!;)
Glad she finally contacted you! I would think that a home filled with 5 rescued cats sounds like the purrfect home of someone who loves cats for being CATS... not for being a special purebred crature with papers and a pedegree rich with blue blood. Too many people out there want a certain cat for the status of having one, and a breeder should recognize that and be happy to hand over a "retired" kitty to a rescuer!

I'll bring the steel bats!!!!! Will even lend a hand.
Hey Debbie. You know who lives in SC, don't you? And who loves to transport those rescues, dogs and cats?
Do you know where she is in SC? ;)
Debbie, I'm glad that you finally heard back from her and that Marty is still available. I hope that everything will work out for you in the end.:)
