Schroeder...is up for adoption again #112

**catmandu** · 11-03-2009, 10:24 AM

My Pouncer used to really hiss and spit at Mr Scrappy to the point that I thought I might have to take Mr Scrappy to the SPCA.

I actually had him in a carrier and he started to cry.
Then I let him out and Pouncer came over and started washing him, and they were Best Pals after that!!!

Patience ,Patience and More Patience.
Love will find a way!!

Moe,
Only you know what is going to be the best for you, Schroeder and Aurora. If you think it would be best to let Schroeder go to an only cat house, then give him back to the rescue group. He has been moved around alot in the last few months it seems so I'm sure he's confused. We all understand if you feel another home would be best for him, and if that's the case, it's best he go there sooner rather than later. Noone will judge you for making the best decision for all involved. Hugs and love heading your way....

Amy

Prayers that either Aroara and Schroeder will start to get along better, or you will find another home where he can be an only kitty. Fingers and paws crossed for the former.

I just sent a long e-mail to the cat rescue contact that I have. I detailed all of Schroeder's issues, like I did here. I also gave her a list of the suggestions that you guys gave me and asked her what they would like for me to do. I told her that his former adopter was definitely correct when she told them that he needed to be in a one cat household. I offered to be a foster for him until they could find a home. The problem with that is that I over an hour away from Nashville. It would be very hard for potential adopters to meet him due to the distance for them or for me. I'll post again when I hear back from her. Thank you for all the advice. I know I'm doing the right thing for Schroeder, but it still hurts terribly. I thought for sure we were a perfect match.

ETA: He just had the hiccups sitting here next to me. I'd never seen a cat with hiccups before. It was cute. They didn't last very long. And I didn't have to scare him to get rid of them either!

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't working out.

I can relate to having to rehome a cat due to being aggressive. I had a semi-feral cat named Cirrus for about 2 years. He and Storm never really got along but I thought that in time that things would improve. Well they only got worse.

Cirrus even started attacking Sky. He only liked Sunny but may have turned on him eventually too.

I learned from a foster that all of his siblings were like this. As they matured they all became much more aggressive. Luckily I was able to return him to the rescue group and they eventually found him a wonderful home. He isn't an only cat but he has a big house and a cat run outside to run in. The lady that adopted him even told me that she feels that he should be an only cat but with more space he's been doing well. I'm assuming that he's still doing well. I need to contact her again to make sure. Good luck.

I haven't heard anything from the rescue group. Schroeder is getting more used to being around me. He sat right next to me last night while I watched TV. He is definitely quirky!

I have kept him and Aroara completely separated. Right now he is in the bedroom and Aroara is next to me on the couch. She even jumped up and slept in my lap a little while ago. She has never been a snuggle kitty, but she is right here next to me sleeping.

I see that the rescue group is going to be set up at a craft fair this weekend at a school in Nashville. They will have homemade cat beds and some other items for sale. They said they may even have a feline or two. I wish that Schroeder could be there and perhaps find a home without having to be in a cage again. I keep checking my e-mail to see if I have received a response and feeling a bit relieved when none has come.

Also, I don't think I mentioned this before, but my sister's cat, Manx, is back home after being gone for 48 hours.
