Beans and Bethel to me - good news 9/1

[Lizzie]

I just talked to the rescue home that has Beans (http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=6286845) and they have agreed to adopt him to me. Isn't that wonderful? I can't wait to meet him. It's going to be interesting watching this group together. Bethel (http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=6764054) bunny-hops, Beans staggers on his back legs, and Ashley reels and rolls, imagine them playing with a feather toy together! And I'll have to devise some type of ramp for them to get in bed with me. I'm sure I'll be posting new threads asking for input on how to help all these special needs babies. Queen S. has given me some web addresses that offer support, so that will be a big help.

Now I have to get hold of Melissa and see if her trucker friends can get Beans to me.

Edited to add links because I won't have photos until they are home with me.

How wonderful!!!!! I can't wait to see more photos of them and the best part is that they will become a part of PT and have a wonderful forever home with you!!!!

That is wonderful! Partly because now we get to see more of them now!!

WOW Congratulations...

That is wonderful Lizzie! You have such a huge heart.

I see Bethel is here in TN but she's in Middle TN (very close to Kimlovescats) and I'm over in East TN.

She's with a wonderful organization, very involved and organized; the only one that asked for a reference from my vet. They did call the shelter in Illinois to see if they could help and were simply blown away by conditions there. I don't think they are going to help the white kitten after all which is an awful shame.

Oh my gosh. Such sweethearts and YOU are such a sweetheart to adopt these two!

You must have wings.......

Glad they are good organization. Too bad they can't help the white kitten. I've been following that one and my heart is breaking. I wish I could help.

thats great news that those two special needs Cats have a Furr Ever Home.
Please let us know how they are doing, and we would love to see Photos.
God Bless You for giving them a Home.

CONGRATS LIZZIE! I KNOW THOSE BABIES WILL BE WELL CARED FOR. I AM STILL HOPING FOR HELP WITH THE EIGHT KITTENS FROM OLNEY, ILLINOIS. KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. GIVE THOSE BABIES A HUG FOR ME WHEN YOU GET THEM !!

It seems that Bethel had a host of people who wanted to adopt her. I knew that Mumpkees had wanted her, but we agreed by pm that I would take Bethel and she would take Cameo. Then I heard from kimlovescats that she had applied to take Bethel. So, I told her to go ahead. Now Melissa can torture me with more special needs cats because she knows I was prepared to take two and now it's only one. (I will adopt then foster the cats from the shelter in Illinois (if we are lucky enough to get them in time) and, in fact, already have a home for the white kitten.)

We don't know for sure yet Lizzie! I just left a phone message, they may have already made other arrangements for little Miss Bethel! As long as that babygirl gets a loving home, I'll be happy!!!

Can anyone tell me what is up with Bethel? I have lost track.

[Lizzie]

Beans is going to be fostered by Melissa (dolittleky) until he can come to me. She offered a few weeks ago but I kept hoping that the truckers network could bring him straight to me; I wasn't willing to share. Now, with no response from the truckers on anyone who can take Beans to me, ringworm in my home, and the shelter saying it would be better for him if he left soon, I asked Melissa if she could collect and keep him for me, and she agreed. This means a lot of work for Melissa - getting her home ready for a disabled cat, a long round-trip into Ohio to collect Beans, caring for him, etc. She keeps tellling me that she is looking forward to looking after him for me, and I believe her.

She will collect Beans the weekend after this and has promised to take lots of photos. I'm going to be so very envious, but also very happy and relieved that Beans will be away from the shelter and one more step towards being with me.

As to Bethel, I know she is not coming to me but I don't know what happened. I spent two weeks calling the shelter every day while they kept saying that they were faxing the adoption application to me and then that their fax machine was broken, then I gave them my mailing address and they said over and over that they were mailing the papers to me. Nothing arrived. I called today to find out what happened to Bethel (out of concern, I don't have room for her any more) and they said they thought they'd heard that she had been adopted. If that is true, I'm very pleased for Bethel but I really wish the shelter had just told me no from the start.

Kim - you are close to that shelter, do you know what happened to Bethel?
