The return of Tiggerrooooo--IN HIS FOREVER HOME!!!

He's so handsome.

Hopefully you'll be able to adopt him and he'll fit in with your other furkids without any problems. I'd probably want to change his name too. Before I adopted Sky his name was Herman. I hated it and Sky also seemed to hate it because he wouldn't even look at me when I called him Herman. Now when I call him Sky he looks at me and responds. Good luck.

Rupert beats RuPaul.

I see there's also a town in Edmonton named Prince Rupert, AND there's the Rupert River in Quebec.. all named for him.

Clearly he has made a big impression in Canada!

Clearly the name Rupert is very nice in its own right, but if you don't really like it for him, then that's a good reason to change it. Does it remind you of his adoption-bailer-outer?

How long did those turkeys* have him anyway? (Clearly some time before Sept. '09, when they added a third kitty to the mix.) Did they even try to work out the adjustment problems?

Does he respond to the name Rupert? If he does, I like the suggested variation ROOO - PURRRRT!

Regardless of how he decides you are to address him, I'm so glad to hear that he is already adjusting so well and that your boyfriend likes him too.

You are home at last, beautiful kitty boy with the adorable face and the lovely fur!

Luvvies to you from us

Pat and cats

Possible new home for Rupert this weekend. A woman, who is handicapped, and has a family of other kitties and one pup, wants to adopt him. She is a friend of Dave's so, we'll see how it goes!!!

**jennielynn1970** · 02-27-2010, 11:33 AM

So, today Rupert gets to meet and greet his possible new family! I'm excited for him, but also sad. He's such an awesome cat, I wish I could keep him, but I know that for my household, 5 is enough (or too much), and the happy medium we have with my cats is always ready to be broken and ending in havoc with one cat hiding in a corner and the "winner" sleeping on my bed, lol. It's just not a good scene, and adding one more to the mix will just upset the applecart even more (gosh I just used the terminolgy his former owner used, ick.). But the apples on the applecart analogy is just so appropriate for how this household is. Sometimes the apples are all good and happy where they are, and then sometimes, there's one too many apples, lol.

So, wish us luck with today's venture, and hope that he will enjoy meeting his potential new family.

Aww, I'd be sad, too...he looks like such a lovey!

(and I think his name is kinda cute...........)

Jenn,
How did the meet and greet go?

The meet and greet went sooooo well!!! He cried the entire way there, breaking my heart, but as soon as we got there, he hopped out of the carrier, started sniffing around and was really social!!! NOTHING like when he first came here. He just seemed so at ease and so friendly, like he trusted us and trusted that we would not let anyone hurt him.

He spend the evening in the bedroom of the teenage girl, I was told, and everyone has been visiting him and loving on him, and he's doing marvelously! I'm sooooo happy for him!!!

So, hopefully, things will all go well, this will be his FINAL and PERMANENT home and we'll be getting lots of updates via Facebook!! I"ll send pics on here when I get them!

**jennielynn1970** · 02-27-2010, 11:43 PM

Oh yeah, and she's renaming him, lol. She didn't like RUPERT either, lol. She said she thinks she can live with Tigger, but she's thinking on a new name. So, we'll see. He didn't really answer to either name, so maybe a new one that fits him is in order.
