Dilemma - opinions sought. *PICS ADDED*

HA! This is the exact reason our shelter is not public! We only give the address/directions to potential adopters when they want to see a cat that is there.

I meant among humane societies, but I'm glad you've got that aspect covered!

Love, Columbine

Great news! Any older or special needs animal can be adopted. Often quite easily with the right sob story. Hiding them away in a permanent foster until they die of old age without giving them a chance at adoption is pretty sad. Sorry, but I'd rather see the animal euthanized than being taken only to be put aside without getting a chance. You can definately find the right match for this cat.

If I were closer and wasn't starting a stressful home addition in a few months I would jump at a chance to adopt braveheart. I Love Persians. My two girls have been a joy to share my home with. They're definately not for everyone.

Chloe came to me with ringworm, a uri, conjunctivitis (pinkeye) in both, as well as sebborhea (known as cradle cap in infants.). Both have breathing issues and one needs to be shaved on a regular basis.

I'm sure you'll find a great home for him.

I would get him out of the high kill shelter right now. Then I would get the dental work done. I have a feeling the teeth might be the cause of the heart problem and once the teeth are fixed he should have many more good years.

Jen, I only read the first three posts because I am at work and don't have time right now to read all of them but I DO have a suggestion. Contact
http://www.purebredcatrescue.org/pur...on/default.asp. They are very good about taking purebred cats in and getting all the vet work done on them and then adopting them out. That is who took those eOcicats that I found on craig's list last year. That is what I would do.
Hope this helps!

Here is BraveHeart.










He goes to the vet at 4pm. But I can't update until after 7pm. But I will let you know what we find out today.

WOW! He is stunning! Just look at that coat! I think the name Braveheart should go to the person who tries to pet him, judging by his facial expression. LOL He is gorgeous!

He sure does look angry, doesn't he??? (LOL) But I never met a kinder soul.

I had a baby like him before and he was SO smart and just a little doll baby, so loving and affectionate and always ready to pose for a picture. I figured he would be a love bug!

He is gorgeous, we have a little girl that looks like she is ticked off at every thing, but she does have a hart of gold. If I was sure which way the Canadian ladies are going I would grab him in a minute. I love big fluff balls.
