Remember Leda, foster cat from NYC?

What a pretty cat! Do I understand correctly that you are her foster mom? If so, will you keep her? Just wondering. She sure looks happy with you... Kay in NC

Leda is a foster, but she is so very shy around new people AND she needs to go to a home with no other pets, so she will probably be here a very long time.


Hardly anyone ever asks about her, and those few that do, always back out at the last minute. (I actually had a potential adopter quite recently. That is why I updated her pictures. But they backed out before even meeting her.)

She is a cat who will need a 2 to 3 week adjustment period in a new home, and some special, but very easily managed, needs. And most people want the "easy" cat, the one who is bold, outgoing and loveable right from the begining. They don't want to have to "work" for their love.


I worked for it and I feel honored every time she gives it to me.
