    Tell them she needs to be in a multi-cat household, and be the queen!

    Of course I can adopt her. No questions asked. But I can't just start keeping them all. I must be getting weaker in my old age.

    Well, this man is coming sometime today to see her. He sounds REALLY nice. He is 43 with no pets of his own, but he talks about his mom's cats (she is 78) and about his past rescues (one rescue was a cat IN a carrier IN a creek! ) and about 1 cat he is trying to bring in off the street at his home. He knows the importance of neutering and NOT declawing. So I will let her go if it feels right when I meet him.

    Thanks for all the GREAT suggestions though. I really got a good giggle .

    I can't help but smile and think of all the times we've said this! Good luck with whatever happens!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Oh Jen, I know you would love to keep Mystique, but you know you have to make room for another one who needs you and like you always say, "You loved them first."

    I'll be anxiously waiting to hear how it goes.

    I don't want her to gooooooooooo!!!

    She has been co-residing with my own cats for DAYS now and she is a total pleasure to have around. (now that she doesn't caterwall at the door to come visit. LOL )

    But realistically I cannot adopt her. As it is I am rethinking allowing Simba to be adopted out (if anyone would ask about him). HE doesn't fit in well here....SHE does!!!

    So......HOW do I ward off any prospective adopters?

    Hmmmmm... guess you didn't ward off all of them, lol.

    I'll trade you Furbee for Simba!!!
