Some Sad News about Oliver :(

[gini]

Kelly, years ago a beautiful black and white kitty showed up in my yard. He immediately started fighting with my little calico female and my black cat Magic. He was such a beautiful cat that I really wanted to keep him - but there was just no way it was going to happen.

One of my client's was looking for a kitty and I told them about this beautiful cat. They visited and couldn't believe their eyes when they saw him. They took him home and showered him with love and attention. He immediately took to the husband, but not to the wife. He was a man's cat - through and through!
When they would tell me stories, I could not believe this was the same cat - he had turned into a mush ball and he still is - and he is now 13 years old.

Bless you for even giving Oliver a chance....there is someone out there who will love having an only cat and I bet Oliver will turn into a mush ball too!

Try not too feel so bad about Oliver, i can tell its a decision you have not taken lightly, its a real shame, for all of you, i really hope he finds a good home, if its one on one he may be much better and happier in the long run.
Let us know how it goes and when he finds a new placement, he is a lovely looking puss i am sure he will be snapped up soon, heres hoping.

Kelly I just loved Gini's story. I am sure Oliver will find a home where he feels much better because he has the undivided attention of his purrents and all the others also will arrange themselves in a much more peaceful way. (You know I just have 2 brothes who can be best buddies sometimes but I also have fur on the floor every week )

I had the same trouble with Smoke who was used to living in a Garage , and was on the dirty side. She couldnt chase the other cats as she was obese , but swattred them when they came too close. I was looking for another home for her when she had a bad stroke and had to be put down, I think that if she was cleaner and not so mean , I would have fought more foe her , but it was better foe the other cats , and for me not finding feces and pools of urine everwhere!

I know that not everyone will agree with our decision.

well there may be people that don't agree, that think it is cruel to give up a cat, but, which is more cruel, to give it up so it has a second chance at being placed in the kind of home it needs, or to keep it unhappy, along with the other cats unhappy?

I think you are doing the right thing, and I know it was not easy for you to make the decision. I'm sorry this happend to you.
