My little orange sweetie has found a new home. But please send him some good thoughts. The home visit (as required for adoption) did not go 100% well. I was not the one to do it (that is NOT my specialty) and I am glad that I did not, because it was stressful. It seems Dad and kids picked out the WRONG cat! Mom wanted a cat over 1 year, already neutered and front declawed! Well, I hope and pray that if Elfin is not to her satisfaction that they will abide by the contract and return him to us. One of the directors will be calling later today to talk to her more, I hope she relays the conversation to me quickly. I believe that Elfin, being the sweetheart that he is, can win this lady over, but what about the declaw issue? I mean this man DID sign a binding agreement that it would not be done. He did take home my pamphlet on why it SHOULD not be done. But if the woman wants it done there is nothing to stop her from going behind our backs. As for the other issues, he WILL get older and if paying for the neuter is such a nuisance how can she even expect to be a cat caretaker? So keep Elfin in your thoughts, he really is a lovebug of a kitty and deserves the right family.
