Ally Cat Updates

[catlover4ever]

I am so sad to read about Ally's reading and all I can do is to send you my thoughts and prayers that you find peace in whatever decision you feel is best for Ally. (((HUGS)))

[Laura's Babies]

Me too, I hope you can find peace in whatever you do....

I sure was hoping for better than that though. She helped me so much with Boo that I was keeping my fingers crossed for at least half that much for Ally.

There are some funds left for Ally to have a vet visit, I believe from what Jennie has said.

If further funds should be needed, please say the word. That would rule out any medical problem as the root cause of the behavior.

I am so sad to read about Ally's reading and all I can do is to send you my thoughts and prayers that you find peace in whatever decision you feel is best for Ally.

I agree 1,000%.

I also agree with Karen's hope that Ally might do better in a home where she's an only kitty, and on the thought that she would consider a second "reading" opinion - again, if funds are needed, please holler. I hope there is some correctable problem that can be identified that will allow Ally to be content in a home for the rest of her life.

[jenluckenbach]

Barbara has a VERY good point. "EVIL" is a human trait and it is being placed on an animal.

But I am not as optomistic as Karen, because the thought of attempting to place Ally into a home (by herself, with no other cats, even with experienced people) you are setting a ticking time bomb. SOMEONE is going to get hurt!

My best suggestion:

Get her into the vet. TELL them to handle her like a feral! EMPHASIZE that she bites without waning or cause! Then......have her examined for ANY possible problem causing her pain. Talk about using Prozac (and insist that you want the Prozac NOT the amitriptylin). ASK if putting her to sleep would be the best option! And go from there.

I think I can safely assume that many people, from this thread alone, will donate in order to get the vet tests needed to help Ally.

Oh my gosh i can only imagine the turmoil going on in your head after reading that reading and the responses here, i really feel for you, regardless of what anyone has said including Nancy only YOU and YOU alone can make the call,you are the one living with Ally and sadly you will have to make this decision ,and it is going to be the hardest thing in the world to do.

Personally i am not into believing readings at all, and i would not base my decision on that,as people pointed out some of the things said to me anyhow are outrageous,about Ally being evil, come on,they don't have a conscience like you and I do,to me that is insane to suggest such a thing. I am totally in agreement with Barbara and yes would have used exactly the same words.


I think alot of people would have put Ally to sleep a long time ago.,but i am not saying that is the right thing to do, i cannot believe any cat could have that much hatred and anger that it is better off dead,sorry but to me that is just crazy statements made by the reader.

I hope you can find the strength in you to explore every possible solution, be it prozac, amitrip, whatever will work for Ally,i think knowing what i read about you, you could not live with yourself until you have, and by goodness you have already done so much, no-one would ever judge you,and all i can wish is for inner peace for you in whatever you decide to do . HUGS.

I Agree, In That Stary Cats And Dogs Are In No Way Evil. They Are Scraed And Have Learned In The Wild That If You Dont Strike First At An Enemy Then You Can Be Injured Or Killed.
And A Lot Of These Poor Animals Have Had Sad Experiences With People So They Dont Know Who To Trust.
We Are Praying For You And Ally.

[phesina]

I will be glad to contribute to help Ally get another reading, a vet check, medications, or any other treatment that might help her or give her a little peace.

I seem to recall reading that early on when Ally was first with Julie she was sweet and loving and delightful. She did not come into this world "nasty nasty nasty" or full of "evil hatred."

I don't know what the best solution would be for her now. God bless you, Jenn, and everyone else here, for all you are doing for her and all the efforts to find ways that would truly help her.

[gini]

This just breaks my heart for Jenn and for Ally.

I am not sure what vet appointments Ally has had since she has been in Jenn's care. But I am all for the idea and would be very glad to contribute to another thorough vet exam.

More than ever, Jenn needs our support here - we all contributed to Ally's travel to the U.S. - but ultimately Jenn has the full responsibility.

That said, I feel as though I should reserve my private opinion - since it is just that - my opinion - and does nothing directly for Ally or for Jenn at this point.

[jenluckenbach]

Oh, I for one definitely support ANY decision on Jennie's part. I added my opinion (about a vet visit) because I think Jennie would feel better at least finding out if there was a medical reason for any of this. (and the story about the dog with the painful teeth REALLY got me wondering. )

[slick]

I have been following this thread and I have to admit that I am shocked by Nancy's reading. I knew from this site that Ally has some "issues" but I never thought for a split second that it is this bad. It deeply saddens me that Nancy would say that putting Ally to sleep will bring her peace. Having said that, Nancy did a reading on my Max and it was dead on.

Sitting here miles and miles away, I can only go on instinct and my gut tells me to go with Jen L's suggestion for a vet visit. If it were me, I would want to make doubly sure that there is nothing sinister going on inside her...like having a brain scan done just to see if there is anything going on inside her head. Then, maybe you've had all that taken care of...or maybe the brain scan is just a stupid suggestion.

I feel so badly for all concerned and I stand here and applaud all of you for the love and care you've given this sweet girl. Yes, I say sweet girl......

Whatever decision you make has to be based on what is better for Ally....not the humans or other kitties. If she's really that angry and hates everyone and everything, then how can she enjoy life??? Will anything on this earth bring her contentment?

I support any decision you make Jenn.

[AbbyMom]

Get her into the vet. TELL them to handle her like a feral! EMPHASIZE that she bites without waning or cause! Then......have her examined for ANY possible problem causing her pain.

I think I can safely assume that many people, from this thread alone, will donate in order to get the vet tests needed to help Ally.

The first week I started volunteering at the adoption center, there was a cat that scared me a lot. Took leather gloves to get her back in the cage. I almost quit.

Please note: She wasn't vicious 100% of the time, but was unpredictable. Sound familiar?

A SAINT of a man adopted her. Six months later he stopped by and told me what her problem was. She had a severe gum infection with exposed roots in her mouth. (Vet "missed" it.)

When she got bumped or thought she was getting bumped, she got vicious.

That poor cat was in severe pain constantly. Once she was healed, she was a normal house cat that simply hated other cats.

For your own peace of mind, have Ally checked thoroughly. We will help with $.

Then, you will know that you did everything possible for her. This is important for both you and Ally.

[jazzcat]

Wowza, what a rough reading. I don't put much into that myself but I know a lot of you on here do.

I do think the vet check would be a good idea before any major decisions are made.

Jenn, again I want you to know I support your decision 100%.

[Catty1]

Jenn...read Abbymom's thread...I will chip in too.

Okay, maybe Ally got bent out of shape by Connor...but she might be in some real pain from something simple.

Please give her that chance...it would be awful to have her PTS and find out there was some very treatable cause for her black moods.

HUGS!

[jennielynn1970]

Hey guys.. I'm going to take her to a different vet than the one I had taken her to previously. She had been checked out back in July when I became really concerned. I wanted to make sure she she didn't have any diseases, cause I couldn't read all the records from the Arabic vet. You never know what they can come in contact with.

There is still about $350 bucks in the bank in her account, so don't bring out your checkbooks right now.

I'll let you know when I get her into another vet and see what they say. I'll aim for next week since this week is hectic.
