This is 14 year old Carrie

[PayItForward]

Poor Carrie, what a rejection.

At 14 she should have many years ahead of her to give and received love, shame on them for not recogising this simple fact.

At least you can comfort her while she gets over losing her 'so called owners' and you will benefit from all Carrie's future love and affection.

Oh how sad! I'm glad you're willing to foster this beauty.

K & L,

I just went out and bought her a brand new Super Gigantic covered litterbox (she is what you'd call a full figured kitty) AND a catnip pillow toy for her. I am fully prepared to keep her for the rest of her natural life. I will love her like her dirtbag owners didn't. I feel so bad for that 9 year old little boy. What his mother did was despicable and I DO hope he never forgets it. I just pray that she doesn't go out and get them a kitten to make up for her stupidity.

I went to the shelter around noon and she isn't ready yet. They need to run tests, give her shots and Revolution her. Then she's mine!!!!

I took the air conditioner out of the window and put in the little kitty window box (it's called a Catio) so she has somewhere to sleep and can view the outside. I'll make sure her days with me are her happiest

I believe in Karma too.

Carrie is beautiful. I'm sure she will be wonderful company for you for years to come.

Carrie is gorgeous!

I already expressed my feelings on the situation via phone.

Karma.... oh yes... Karma.

Congrats Donna. I would have done the exact same thing. I personally know the joys of adopting a "senior" cat and even though Specks just sleeps all day, I would not trade her for anything. Carrie is just beautiful and I'm sure Speckles would love to get to know her. The two of them can sit on the kitty park bench and watch the birdies go by and trade stories of their youth.......

You're wonderful! She will be so lucky to have you! Poor thing, it makes me so sad to think of what she must've been feeling just being dumped off after all those years. You're my hero!

Donna, I'm so glad you'll be taking Carrie in. She really does look scared and bewildered in that pic, and she most definitely deserves better after giving the best years of her life to a family that no longer wants her....well, at least that is run by a mother that doesn't value her elders. It's so sad, and I do believe that little boy will remember....

If that woman - and those like her - could only read these posts. I'm sure they would come up with all sorts of excuses for their behaviour, but I bet it would really make them think twice before they adopted another "pet." Poor critters. But the best news is that now Carrie has a home with you. Hopefully temporary, but at 14, chances are it'll be her last. Thanks for being a softie, Donna.

I know Carrie will have a happy life with you. Shame on that woman for throwing her away and breaking her boy's heart.
All of your who foster are really doing good. I don't have it in me, plus I feel that Lovable is happy as an only cat.

Carrie is in her room. I had to take out the "catio" because the room gets too warm. I put the air conditioner in and it's nice and comfortable in there. She's hiding under the bed which is normal, but she DID use the kitty box (I left the cover off).

They asked me at the shelter if I was fostering to adopt her or just fostering her till someone adopts her. I just shrugged my shoulders. I told them I figured she'd live out the rest of her days with me and my brood cuz there aren't many people who want a 14 year old cat.

I just hope she and my other cats get along. If not, they'll have to find another foster home for her. But I'm getting way ahead of myself.

The GREAT news is I have someone (ahem, one of our members ) who REAAAAAAAAAAAAALY wants Fawnie.

My last comment is I hope that those children are making their mother's life a living H E double hockey sticks.

[Miss Meow]

Jesus, has the woman also traded in her parents 'coz they're older and don't play with the grandkids any more???

Bless you for taking in Carrie and making her loved again.

[kimlovescats]

WAY TO GO!!! I think you said the right thing to that woman... good for you!!! Thank you sooooo much for taking in sweet Carrie. Looking at her in that cage after 14 years in a home, she looks so scared and bewildered, like she wonders what she did! So sad ... makes me want to cry ..... thank you again for saving sweet Carrie!!!!!!! Please hug her for me too!!!!!!!

[Nomilynn]

That is just too sad. I'm so happy that you got Carrie, Donna, and that she will live in the lap of luxury from now on

Donna, Carrie's former owner will get what's coming to her. She has taught lessions of betrayal to her young children, who in turn will surely show her the same when she gets old. She deserves it.

I LOVED Carrie. What an adorable love bug! She was so sweet and affectionate, and she really broke my heart. Thank you for taking her, and thank you for introducing me to her. She was just wonderful and so friendly and loving. Poor kitty It's a good thing you were there to rescue her, Donna. I know she must be so greatful for your kindness, and YOU are the person she'll be waiting for at R.B. when it's time, not that wench that had her for the last 14 years!

She really is a sweet cat. She LOOOOOOVES catnip and belly rubs and being combed. And she makes this cute little noise when she sees me. I'm going to try and let her out this weekend to meet my cats. I hope it goes well. She's definitely here to stay.

I felt so bad for that poor little boy. I bent down as he was clutching Carrie and whispered in his ear "Don't worry, pal. Carrie will be coming home with me to live with my cats and I promise I will love her always." Behind the tears was a little bit of a smile so hopefully THAT helped. It was for HIS benefit, not his nasty mother's.
