A very sad & heartbreaking day...

I'm sorry it didn't work out, at least you tried. You've done what's best for both Nakita and Phoenix.

I hope Nakita will get better and Phoenix finds a new loving home.

((((Hugs))))

Poor you! You tried your best for Nakita's sake, and we know you only wanted to help her. We completely understand both your decision to return Phoenix, and your heartbreak over the whole situation. You will be in our prayers, and give your pewter beauty our love, okay?

I'm so sorry. Please don't be down on yourself. You have to put Nakita first and know that Phoenix will find a good home.

I've been there with a similar situation. Ripley was my first and only cat for 10 years and when I finally decided he was old and mellow enough to handle another cat I decided to try an adult. She was awesome. Her name was Mystic but because my husband didn't hear me correctly he thought I said Sticks so we called her that. We had her for over three weeks but it didn't work out because she became very dominant over Ripley and my dog Disney and started peeing in their beds and eventually our bed. After having her checked for infection or crystals and she was clean we tried to work with her more but she smacked my dog and cut her nose open. My dog was only sleeping in her bed. It broke my heart but I had to return her to the rescue. I still feel an empty sad feeling when I think about her but I know she was adopted a few weeks later as an only cat and was very happy.

Oh no..... I am so sorry for you....

. But, you did the right thing! Nakita will be back to normal soon, and little Phoenix will have no problem to find another forever loving home!

That's a hard decision and one I know you didn't make lightly. Please be gentle with yourself. Gentle hugs and headbumpies to you, yours and Nakita.

I am so very sorry! You did every thing possible to make this work, so please don't blame yourself! I know you love Phoenix, and I'm so sorry you are having to say goodbye to her! She will be fine though! She may even find another home with another kitty who will enjoy her company ... in most cases it does work!

Your Nakita has just always been an only cat, and a very pampered Princess, who we ALL love!!! I hope and pray that she will calm down now and get back to being your special girl! When she does, I hope you will spoil us all here with some beautiful Nakita pictures!

Love and Hugs,
Kim

I am so sorry that Phoenix did not work for Nakita. I just hope Nakita will return to the cat you love. So take a break to grieve your loss, but still remember to keep us updated on our little Nakita.

I'm so sorry to hear that Phoenix didn't work out.

Please don't blame yourself because you did everything right. Some cats are just meant to be only cats and Nakita as you have now learned is one of them. I'm sure that little Phoenix will find a new loving forever home very quickly and be a happy little girl.

I hope that Nakita's health will improve and that she'll become happier again. Please continue to keep us updated about her. (((HUGS)))
