    Suckered Again

    Cat #9 will be entering my home tomorrow Just as a foster though! She's an adult who was dumped at my shelter in a box. We are not supposed to be taking in any cats at the moment because we are so full. They were getting ready to send the poor girl to the kill-shelter. I just had to stop them and told them I'd take her tomorrow. I'll place her through one of the rescue groups I know. She is possibly pregnant, but early enough to be spayed. I'm not sure what I'll do yet as far as that goes. I don't want to have them aborted of course, but I also have to think about all the homeless kittens already in this world Its a very tough decision.

    Anyway, she hates other cats, or so it seems. She'll have to stay in my extra bathroom until she gets less stressed before I introduce her to my crew. I will definately post pics as soon as I get her. She's a medium haired tabby .... very gorgeous! She loves people and was rubbing all over me, but at the same time she's a bit cranky. It could just be due to stress or the other cats that were around though.

    Aly,

    You are such a great person for taking in Cat #9. She'll calm down. I think the stress of her being possibly pregnant and being dumped off by her stupid, idiotic, irresponsible pet owner will go away once she knows she's in a loving home, even if it IS only till they finds her furrrrever home. I just wish I lived closer, cuz I'd foster her.

    Good luck. Looking forward to pictures.

    I am glad you were able to take in this new foster. I know that she will begin to feel comfortable in your care and I hope a new home can be found for her soon.

    As for her "stupid, idiotic, and irresponsible" owners. somebody should dump THEM.

    Aly you are such a kind, caring and loving person to not allow this poor cat go to a kill shelter.
    As Steffi N said, I would like to dump those irresponsible so called owners.
    Good luck with her and can't wait to see pictures.

    Well I just got the girl home and settled into the bathroom. They tried to test her for FIV at the shelter but she does NOT like to be scruffed and they couldn't get blood from her. They said I'll have to get her tested when I go get her spayed so she can be sedated. I think she managed to scratch every person in the clinic

    My boyfriend took a few pictures, but none of them are that great since we took them about 3 minutes after I brought her home and she's still a bit nervous. He's actually downstairs now trying to get better ones.

    Name suggestions are welcome!

    *Please excuse the mess in the bathroom. I had just gotten home and thrown everything in the sink and my bf took the pics before I set her stuff up*

    I don't think that the pictures are bad. She's gorgeous. I can't think of any names right now.
