Yeah I totally agree, I deffiantly wouldn't give it to her free, if she can't afford Chester's bills then she can't a afford a cat. Those free cats aren't a free as they sound, with all the vet bills 128.00 is fine. Chester requires some one who won't go cheap on him so 128.00 should sound like a huge bargin for someone who loves him, and if it doesn't sound fair then maybe their heart and ears need a check up. Chester is a great cat someday some one will love him just as much as you do.

There's no question that you did the right thing here, Lorraine. This person sure didn't have Chester's best interests at heart. I can't help but wonder if her story about free kitties was true or if she was trying to get over on you. Sweet Chester is priceless and in this case worth much more than $125! Some people just should not have a pet and this person sure sounds like one of them.

I Wish I Could Take Chester In,especially After The Loss Of Precious. But With The Fact That I Might In Five Or So Yeras Have To Sell The Hotel And Go Into Assisted Living Housing, It Wouldnt Be Fair To Chester. This Person Wanted A Free Cat So She Could Dump Him When It Became Convenient For Her.
I Pity Any Cat Who Comes To Depend On This Fair Weather Guardian.
As You Say The First Sign Of Trouble And Chesters Dumped Somewhere.
I Pray A Kind Hearted Cat Person Will Come Along Soon.
Chester Deserves A Good Furr Ever Home.

Nope, it wasn't meant to be. Everything happens for a reason and taking Chester back from one irresponsible person and refusing to allow him to go to another irresponsible person is all part of the plan, albeit a frustrating one. You did the right thing. She was just trying to guilt you into giving her Chester for free. Kick the dust from your shoes and move on. You'll find the right home for him. In the meantime, you get to love him up some more.

When I was looking for that oh so perfect rehoming for Ti, a bengal cat I had purchased a few years back, I heard from a girl I thought was to be for Ti. Once I was told that the girl could not afford to have her car fixed, to come pick up Ti, and a couple of other stories about being poor, I told her the deal was off. I wanted Ti to go to someone who could afford a vet bill from time to time. I know there are times when the money is not flowing, but if you cannot afford to vet an animal, you cannot afford to have the animal in the first place. Just wanting a pet isn't enough. You have to be able to pay the bills as well.

I think you did the right thing. Chester will find another home, I am sure. You are such a good rehomer! Thanks so much for taking care of this guy.
