Ally Cat's Mommy - what's happening?

Jen - PLEASE don't feel bad - I know that you would be the first person to volunteer, if the solution was the best one for Ally.

Thanks for the links - I will definately chat with W re having a covered litter box inside - he LOATHES litter boxes anywhere around him, and in a tiny appartment it would also have to be somewhere that Cali will not have access to when she starts to crawl, plus W will not allow it in the Kitchen, no matter how often it is scooped. It's hard to pick a perfect spot, as I have seen photos of the appartment, but that is not an accurate representation of the layout etc. Hopefully the bathroom will be big enough.

Just had a look at the litter box "hiders" - that would solve a few problems -
Cali would not be able to touch the litter, it would not look awful in the lounge/dining room, and it would stop Ally throwing her litter all over the place! I am sure I could get a local carpenter to make one when we arrive - I could just show him the picture and give him the dimensions I need!!

Of course this all depends on the landlord allowing cats - I am STILL waiting for a confirmation.

Depending on the type of apartment - if you can take her - I have closets with sliding doors. I put the box on a rubber boot mat (or something else would work) which keeps the floor mostly clean, and close the two doors. One stays open about a foot from the end, lots of room for my big boys to squeeze in.

Good luck!

HUGS!

Julie, I'm so glad to hear that Connor will have a foster home. I sure hope that Ally will be able to move with you or that she'll be able to be fostered some where else. The hidden litterbox idea sounds like it should work for you. I've seen these at cat shows and they look beautiful. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please continue to keep us updated.

If the Animal Control was not after me, I would take Ally into the Found Cat Hotel where she could stay in the spare bedroom, until she mellows out.
The Found Cat Hotel had some Cats that they said would never fit in, and they are all getting along famously.
Even Doris was starting to pile up.

I am very glad you found a home for Connor. Please don't give up on Ally. I didn't think Felicia would fit in another home either. Turns out she is getting along fine.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts that you also find a home for Ally.

I have been looking for no-kill "sanctuary" type places in the states - the kind of place where impossible-to-home cats end up - but I haven't been able to find any which do not restrict their intake to cats from a specific area, or cats of a particular breed.

Have you looked into the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah? http://www.bestfriends.org/ I'm sure they are very full, but I do think it is worth a try. I get their magazine and occasionally browse their website (have visited the sanctuary too) and I know I've read some stories of cats being rescued from other countries in special cases. I know for sure they don't have any sort of breed restriction at all they just want to help all companion animals.
