I woke up this morning and went right to Cat General - holding my first cup of coffee...

cloverfdx: yes I DO have time for 6 kitties or more. I am home full-time and spend most of my days loving on kitties - it is just what I do. We are retired and I am largely homebound.

I do appreciate the comments - the pure breed rescue sites - I have already been to many times and will keep following DIL Devon had sent me the link to the one folded girl already, too. This breeder that has Tuppence is also part of the American Curl Rescue Project and even has three fosters in her home right now. (they take in Curls and domestics, too) One is a Curl, but he is a very timid boy who needs to be adopted with another boy he was surrendered with and I don't think he would be happy in my home and I really do not want two adults right now (but they are both orange!!)

So, sorry - no new Sirrahcat right now. I had a hard night sleeping and trying to decide what was bothering me and it is just that adopting Tuppence would go against my basic philosophy about kitties. She is not inexpensive - and I know she will go to a good home.

I still want her ....but I am going to wait and watch for somebody who needs me more. Besides, I have two babies that need me alot and I am working hard to make them as loving as possible.

I wish it would have worked out with Marty girl - but it didn't. That experience with her breeder was horrible - I still want to cry - finally just deleted all of her e-mails to me - some that I shared with you guys...I really do not think she looks as kitties as anything more than breeder stock and $$$.....but on the positive side, Tuppence's breeder was wonderful! I believe she is an animal lover before she is a breeder. She has good ole moggies running around with her show kittens. When I called to tell her we would not be coming this afternoon, she was more than understanding and will keep a watch for me - for the next kitty It will likely be either a Fold or a Curl so I have my one real purebred cat I have wanted - whenever.
