Leda (NYC rescue cat) EXCITING Update! 9-8-06

[orangemm]

Good job, Jen!! And, welcome Leda!!! You are definitely in the right place.

That's wonderful that she is rescued and on her way to losing her fear in your home. It must be an enormous relief for her to be away from the shelter noise, smells and general environment. I'm glad that she is as cute as Lucille made her sound and I, along with everyone else, am looking forward to the photos.

An additional $100!!! Is gas that much more expensive on the east coast? Remember to send me the email tonight that I need in order to pay you. I can never thank you enough for stepping in and doing this, we'd have been lost without you. I'm sorry that you didn't get to meet Lucille, I was looking forward to a description of her.

Time for more shampooing of cats, more piles of laundry, slathering of hand cream on the backs of my hands, and more cleaning. I'll check in later with a cuppa.

No NO! Gas is not THAT expensive! I planned on giving my driver friend $40 for gas (a normal tankfull runs about $30) but there were TOLL roads! about $20 worth. Then I paid for the 3 of us to have lunch after Leda was settled in.......so of course that includes Charlie and my lunch. I don't expect reimbersment for that!



Now, as soon as I go feed my own crew I will be heading in to see Leda. Hang on for the next update.

WOW!! She looks lovely and that is your hand in there petting her? Looks like it is a winning situation for the both of you... She will be eating out of your hands in no time.

[Lizzie]

Her coat gleams beautifully and her face is definitely full into the cream pot. She allowed you to fuss her under the chin and looked as though she liked it. Did she purr? Or just not hiss?

Ah, toll roads! I didn't think of that since I never have to deal with them. I can certainly add $60 for all that - remember that you are feeding, littering and caring for her. When do you expect to take her to the vet?

[jenluckenbach]

YUP! That is my hand in there. No fuss at all, no hiss or growl, no pulling away. No purr YET! But it is just a matter of time.

I would like to get her in as soon as possible (after this stupid Monday holiday ) Because IF she does have any type of bladder problem, we'd like to start treating her. AND I think a fecal would be a good idea, since it is something the shelter does not do.

Besides, I want to take her before I let her out with the other cats and I'd like to do THAT as soon as she is ready.

Aww, good job Jen!

She's a beautiful cat. Looks just like my RB Tier!
