Okay, call me INSANE!!!!! UPDATE WITH PICTURE!!

[Taz_Zoee]

Awww, I also saw this on FB. I am so glad she is going to a PT home to live out the rest of her LONG life. I know you will do everything you possibly can to make this work.

You are such a wonderful person!

Donna, this is so nice of you.

I tried to look up Melissa and I couldn't find her here on Pet Talk. I should probably share my real name since I am on Facebook, but not in this post.

Sorry to hear she is having to go into a nursing home. But at least she'll know that her Sandy is in good hands.

With Bertie, the problem is not with my kitties, but with Bertie. She doesn't like other cats.


Again, bless you for taking Sandy in.

As everyone else has said, God Bless You, Donna! Everything will work out because you are doing the right thing.

Bless you. A happy ending to a potentially sad story. Now all the senior ladies can live in peace and serenity.

Mrspunkysmom,

Anikaca77 is the wonderful Melissa!!

I'm not trying to be a hero here. I'm simply trying to let a senior kitty live out her years in peace and quiet, rather than the alternative, which simply is NOT an option in this case.

The couple that previously owned Sandy were going into an assisted living siutation. Since the dog was there first, they gave Sandy up. Makes me sick.

Melissa is TRYING to keep her local so she won't have to travel. There is a woman who is willing to TRY and foster her. If, after two weeks, Sandy doesn't adapt to the situation (a dog and two other cats) she'll bring her back. I can already see where this is going. It takes FAR longer than 2 weeks to acclamate a cat.

Do I think I'm pushing the envelope here with MY fur crew? Absolutely. But I'll deal with it IF and when there are any issues.

Hopefully, Sandy will adjust fine in the foster situation down in PA, just to save her the stress of traveling. She may simply want a comfy pillow to rest her old bones somewhere in a puddle of sunshine - not too much to ask. Her age may help at this point, as she's less likely to put much energy into objecting to anyone or anything!

[mrspunkysmom]

Thanks for the explanation. I just didn't put everything together. Anyway, you might be pushing it but you never know until you try.

Bertie would be alright here if she would chill out. My cats are not even bothering her. She has ventured further into the room.

Once I find her a home, there is a orange kitty without a home. He'll do fine with my crew. That will be the last. I hope.
