hoping to adopt new kitty!!

Debbie, Just remember that if it's meant to be it will happen and if not then I'm sure you'll find another Scottish Fold very soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are on the way.
Too bad you don't live in California because the last few cat shows have had Scottish Folds for sale. Some were kittens and I think that they were also retiring some of them.

I hope she's considerate enough to call soon.Good Luck on Marty.I'm sorry I thought Marty was a boy.Marty is a beautiful girl.I forgot that Marty is a two way name.I know two woman named Marty too.How could I forget.

LOL!!! I'm sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at this comment. I'm willing to steal the kitty while Devon breaks some knees!

Debbie, Does this woman live close to you? Maybe you should just go over to her house. I sure hope that she gets back to you soon. Good luck.

KAK: I am in Ohio and and she is in South Carolina. I wrote again last night and told her if she was not able to bring Marty to the catshow here where I live this weekend, we would drive to get her! (She was scheduled to be here!!) Dennis has been wanting to go to South Carolina anyway (he was born there) He has places he wants to show me So....we will see! It sure seems strange that she will not answer me but there must be some good reason.

How frustrating! I was hoping, because I had found this thread so late, that there would be some kind of resolution at the end of it. Marty is beautiful! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

They surely will send Marty to the wrong house if she doesn't go to yours.What a shame.I hope they call you for Marty's sake.

I DID hear back from the breeder this morning!! Marty was just spayed on Tuesday, is still feeling "wimpy" and she is not "sure" she will be able to bring her to this catshow here this weekend..... But, she suggested we meet up with her in April - when she is fairly nearby at another show (Detroit). So Marty is still with her!!

I sent back an e-mail - pretty much pleading for her to bring Marty (since she said not *sure*) - but also agreeing that I would wait and consider the other retiring adult folds she has - I told her exactly what I want - sweet, loving, lapkitty companion, etc - and asked for her suggestion about which cat would be the best match - she already knows about all my cats. Still, I ended by saying I felt like I was already in love with Marty - would take her for a spay follow-up to my vet, etc...a little begging and groveling I wonder if my five cat situation even sounds good to a breeder placing her cats?? I was reading that some will only place cats in certain homes with no more than 2 other cats, no dogs, etc. The woman sounds very nice! She apologized for not responding sooner - having taken off work to do some home remodeling.

Still, sooner or later here, it looks like I WILL be adopting a Scottish Fold like I have been wanting - just not sure who it will be - maybe pretty Marty..I hope so!!

I guess I need to be patient - but I sure do want this kitty

I hope it's Marty.I'm glad she called back.Too bad she just couldn't ship her down somehow.

Well, I am glad that you finally heard! Do you think a few (hundred Pet Talk) referrences would help her to know that you are a good kitty mom????

Funny Jen I am really not sure how breeders of purebreds think - you know? What do they consider a good home? I told her I was not interested in purchasing a purebred and that all my kitties were shelter or rescues. I wonder if this sounds like a negative thing Well, it is the truth and how I feel. I *want* a fold but could never justify the cost of a kitten or "show" cat - have no interest in that sort of thing. I like going to shows - but am not a "showcat" person you know??

So if she had 100 PetTalk references - would that be a good thing?? Most of us prefer needy kitties!! Ok I am rambling - but you get my drift - I am not sure that my home situation is attractive to a breeder thinking about placing her kitties *I* know I would treasure and love this kitty to death ...but??

[catfamily]

They'd be fools not to think about the gift of someone loving a rescue instead of buying a cat to show off because of it's breed or looks.
