disabled Tortie, Chicago

[janesfosterkitties]

First of all, there was a discrepancy from the beginning-I think everybody knows what I am talking about. If you don't go back ad read the entire thread. I simply agreed to pick the cat up and transport her, then hold her for a short period-thats all! But since she has been here, she has become close to another one of my kitties, and has settled in nicely. She is comfortable and happy, and Beka is thrilled that she is staying. I found a vet, a wonderful vet, in fact, on of the best in the entire state of Michigan, to provide lifetime vet care for her, and when I posted, you said "wonderful" then you said she couldnt do any better than with Pat. Which is it?? Maybe pat or somebody else could have driven down and picked Mila up??

Mila is happy here and THAT is what matters. She has irreversible brain damage and disabilities, and has made friends with another cat here who has similar disabilities. Sheouldnt her happiness be the first priority??

You can remove me from this group.

It sounds as though Mila has unintentionally found herself a permanent home with you. Funny how things work out, isn't it?

It is too bad there seem to have been some communication snafus, but hopefully Mila will be okay, and everyone can be content with that. No need to "remove" you, Jane, you are welcome here.

What I meant was is that either way it's wonderful for Mila. I've come to know Pat (Phesina) and Mila would have a good home w/her. I don't know you but it seemed as though things were working out well for Mila, especially when you found a vet to give her free lifetime care. Don't involve me in this. I was merely trying to encourage both of you and give you the kudos that I felt you both deserved, that's all. No offense was meant to either of you.

I just want everybody to know how happy Mila is here. She LOVES my other disabled kitty, who has CH. He has never really had a real friend here, and he has fallen in love with her! I've been updating Milas mom on an almost daily basis, and she is thrilled that Mila is doing so well. I have made some modifications in the house to make it easier for Mila, and she now meows and "talks" to me when I walk by the screen door to "her" room. Well, she shares it with her new friend, but she still thinks its hers.

Mila is happy and content, and thats all that matters here. She has a wonderful who is willing to look after her, and she is a joy to have here.

Hope things work out for the best for Mila.

Seems to have been a bit of drama in this thread... geez. I know everyone was just trying to be supportive and hope for the best for Pat and Mila.

As long as Mila is well taken care of and is getting the best possible care, free or not, I hope it all works out for the best.

Although I commend her for transporting the kitty out of the goodness of her hear, I'm reserving my opinion for six months down the road, or whenever her OTHER cats need help and she can't afford it.

She always seemed to be griping about vet bills costs and how she couldn't afford it. But now that a vet has offered lifetime vet service, she's going to keep her???

Phesina,

I'm so sorry about this whole thing. I know you had your heart set on adopting Mila. I've fallen in love with many of my fosters. However, I know when to say enough. If I cannot afford their vet care, I have no business adopting any more. And communication is the key in every relationship, either in person, by phone or via the internet. Which is what Janesfosterkitties failed to do.


Have a wonderful life Mila!!

Well, I dont believe I ever said I couldnt afford the vet bills. I just resented that somebody had told Pat I was going to take her to the vet before turning her over. I NEVER said I couldnt afford it-read the thread again.

I can afford the vet care-I didnt ASK for free vet care. The vet heard her story and wanted to help, thats all.

Mila is happy and thats ALL that matters.

Mila is happy and thats ALL that matters

I absolutely agree with you. However, letting Pat know ahead of time rather than having her read it here is a little inconsiderate, don't ya think??

From Pat:

This is the first I've heard about this change in plans.
