Wonderful news....

[carole]

Most of you who have taken time to read my threads will know the ongoing story of Duchess and Vicky, the two cats neglected by my neighbour and who I had spayed and rescued all their kittens, they have been basically living with me for five months now and i have been stressing wondering if I will get to keep them.

YOU GUESSED IT the Girls are officially MINE, the B***h just did a runner and abandoned them yet again, it breaks my heart to think she could leave these beautiful natured girls ,but it warms my heart so much to know they will be with me for the rest of their days, I love them so much.

The only drawback is she left her boy cat as well Charles, and he is a bit of a problem, I may have to try re-homing him, but my chances are not great, I rang the cat rescue but they are over-flowing but she did offer me a voucher to get him fixed for free, which is awesome, so will be doing that shortly.

Trouble is he needs a lot of socialising and is really a scaredy cat, although the girls were initally too and are right love bugs now, and the biggest problem he is challenging Ash daily, they have already had a scrap, and Ash is like 12 yrs old , has arthritis and a heart murmur, he does not need this, I am hopping mad that she did not at least take him with her, I would have been heartbroken had she taken the girls.

It is the best news i could possibly tell you all, and i seriously doubt she will be coming for them, i never noticed her leaving as I had Melissa home sick all week, but apparently the neighbours said she left a week ago, although i saw her two days ago putting out the rubbish,but now i don't have to stress wondering if she will just up and take them away from me.

I am a little scared at the reality of it all, knowing i have the responsibility for all these kitties now,but i will be doing my best to ensure all kitties have the best care possible, so far going good, just worry if vet visits come up,but will cross that bridge when and if i come to it.

So please stop by and celebrate with me, I was walking up to the shop and noticed her flat empty, I forgot about the shopping and ran home to tell the girls, they are sunning on the verandah, gorgeous winter day here, i was elated saying GIRLS you are MINE now.

Oh Carole, that's WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! At least they have a loving, secure home with someone who loves them deeply.

I only wish I lived close, I would gladly take Charles and socialize him. I love working with feral cats.

I'd report the 6itch to the ASPCA. I'm glad you got a voucher so the males can be fixed. That's one less thing to worry about.

As far as her coming back and staking a claim on the cats, don't even worry about it. First of all, you've got all the paperwork that proves YOU had them spayed/neutered. Plus, possession is 9/10's of the law. Screw her!!

Thanks Donna, i was hoping you would be first to read my news, isn't it great? I love those girls with all my heart, Charles is not feral,but he is just very scared and not too trusting, but hey I can pat him and pick him up now, do you think we could do another country Adoption like Jen did to England, he he just kiddin.

Thanks for you ongoing support, it has meant the world to me.

Cheers.

I reckon Kari, she had told me she was going to Aussie for a months holiday in september, i know now had I not been here, she would have just abandoned the cats then, so I am so happy they are with me now, time for a new siggy I think.

Oh, Sis. That is such great news! Those kitties now have the best mommy they can have forever. Carole, I'd definitely do what Donna said and call the ASPCA on her. I'm just SO happy they now have a furever home with you! {{{{HUGS}}}} to you from Pittsburgh!
