A very sad & heartbreaking day...

Phoenix looks like a very self reliant Cat who will make herself at home in 99% of the Furr Ever Homes she goes to.
I know in my heart of hearts that she sure would fit in the Found Cat Hotel, it wouldnt take her long to fit into the piles here.
I just wish the Animal Control threat was not hanging over my head.
But Phoenix might be worth taking a chance.

GO FOR IT, GARY!

We are rooting for you all the way!

I will help however I can!

Gary, you're one of a kind and have a huge heart. Thank you so much for thinking of Phoenix. As many have said she will easily find another home - we actually have a few leads and who could resist that face.

You already have your hands full - especially with recent events with Animal Control keeping an eye out. Cuddle your kids and make sure you keep everyone safe. Adding another cat will not help you in the long run and could actually make things worse for the rest of your crew.

Reality plays a strong hand here as I just recently found out with trying to introduce Phoenix. It breaks your heart in many pieces but you have to do what's right for the whole household - not just for one. I am very confident Phoenix will find the right forever home.....I just wanted MY home to be that one. I know that I made the right decision but that doesn't make it any easier on my heart.

Thanks so much for the words and sympathy you have shown. I never knew I could be so lost after just a month - but it's amazing how fast one's life can change. It's going to take some time for everything to feel right again. If you could still keep thinking and sending some healing vibes Nakita's way I'd really appreciate it.

((( Hugs to everyone for your support & friendship )))

I'm awfully sorry that things didn't work out with lovely Phoenix. I am sure that it will not take her long to find the right home, and I really hope that Nakita settles again.

It is sad that things didn't work out with Phoenix and I can only imagine how difficult this decision was for you. Every cat has their own distinct personality, likes, and dislikes just like people do. Please remember that you did everything possible to introduce Nikita to Phoenix in a positive way. It's sad that your newcomer had such a negative effect on Nikita. [[[HUGS]]] to you and prayers that Nikita will settle down and again be the sweet kitty you know and love.....
