Meet (grouch-face) Bailey

[jenluckenbach]

Now this foster will probably remain in foster care for her entire life. There is no one who would willingly take a cat into their family whom cannot be touched. I have been told that she WILL eventually come around to trust you, but I can't even guess how much time it would take. Also in the same boat of not liking other cats, she will have a rough time of it in a shelter situation. Her fomer foster mommy and I will probably shuffle her back anbd forth with the seasons. (she can't foster in the winter due to a lack of heat in her foster house).

Awww too bad she looks so sweet! he he even if she's grouchy!

[Kirsten]

Ohhhh, poor Bailey, I'm wondering what history you have... (but you're in good hands now)

Kirsten

I was thinking the same thing Kirsten. Poor baby.

She is gorgeous.

[CatDad]

Poor Bailey, I also wonder why that is?

Well, dhe is at least with the two of you and will be watched out for. Who knows maybe one of you will make a break through with her and then can adopt her out. OK, not really a possibility but it is still a hope.

Bless you both for watching out for her.

I, too, am curious about her background. Was she abused??? I'm sorry, but I think she's beautiful just the way she is and she's very lucky to have you two to look after her. In life, we just have to accept others as they are.

Awwww....tortie girl!!!

I do believe she's found an excellent winter home out of it though.

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

What a cute face! Such a pity that she is a grouch, but I am sure she has good reason!! At least she is now in good hands!

[Barbara]

Poor Bailey - a little too much tortietude maybe?

I tell you there are people around to whom you can trust

I always think of Gabe when I think of unhappy cats. He found a friend here, and no one would have guessed that he could change. Sometimes a little medication and a change of environment does wonders. Sometimes NOT!

What a pretty kitty.

At this point I would not even be able to administer the type that goes into the ear canal.

Poor Bailey! It is such a shame that we can't make them understand how much they are missing. All the snuggles and love we could give them.
Is she feral or was her background with people really bad? Does anyone know how old she is?
I'm sure there is a reason for her attitude but I would say the fact that she is Tortie only takes it to the extreme!! Good Luck!

[jenluckenbach]

As far as Bailey's background goes, this is what we know:

she was taken in at 3 WEEKS and bottle fed>>>this worries me, what would make a bottle baby turn so sour???>>>

She lived with a family that seemed to take her to the vet a LOT (hypochondriacs??)

She was HEAVILY drugged at the time of surrender.....could hardly walk straight.

the people said...and I quote..."it is DRY food that is making her crazy"
Deb, Bailey's rescuer, said it did not take Bailey to make these people crazy

She is about 6 1/2 years old

Well , Jen , I say that Bailey is in the place that she needs to be in! If anyone can get her to lovevand trust , it is YOU! Gary and Found Cats. Please try the Deli turkey , its a big hit here!!!!!

Poor darling. Stories like that make me so sad.

You and the other foster mum are angels for helping her
