mke and carla would like to adopt our boys!

WHO are "Mke & Carla"??

The Boys are in BOSTON< MA -
WHERE are the potential adopters??

I'd hate for them to have to go through another flight or long haul "road trip".

We should check with their cirrent Shelter - I *thought* there
were TWO Familys interested in them -
EACH family willing to "take the PAIR".

More details, please.

Carla and Mike adopted Madeline today from Jan. they live in Saugus (I think) and have adopted Birdie and Marshall in the past! (check old pt threads on these little guys) No plane trips necessary! They haven't been through the process yet.. I was hopin you Phred would talk to Mike and Carla and then give a good word to the rescuers!! (if is ok with mike and carla of course!)

Did they decide to get our "Boys"??? I thought it was in the "thinking about it" stage... but if they decided to adopt them, I am great with it and so is Kevlin and Rhonda.. We WANT them to stay in the PT family if at all possiable. I will not do the "Happy Dance" until I see Carly or QSL post and say they really ARE!!

Well it's after 11pm here now, jan was gonna try to get a hold of Diane (in charge of screening) to see where things are at. But the winds are blowing big and the snow is really comin down! we got at least 10 inches to deal with here! it affects our ability to call people (apparently! ha ha) Lucky and Louie are nice and warm where they are and thats what I care about! Here, it's whistling wind and snow....oh my!

What do *I* think?

I think we ought to **STOP** PRESSURING people
to "take" Luck & Louie!!

The Twins have had LOTS of exposure here on Pet Talk -
and no one - including "catfamily" (Carla & Mike) -
expressed a desire or ability to adopt them.

They are NOT in any danger - they're in a NICE Shelter and
are getting exposure to potential adopters.
I was told TWO families have expressed an interest in them -
BOTH families are willing to "Take the Pair".

I don't think it is fair to Lucky & Louie to "force" them
into someone's home!

Carla & Mike ("catfamily") already have about 9 cats - one JUST adopted!
Do the really "need" (or really WANT) TWO more????
THEY haven't *posted* any desire to adopt L&L!

I suggest we let the normal adoption process at P.A.L.S. (Peabody)
run it's course BEFORE we "pressure" anyone to "rescue" Lucky & Louie.
They no longer need a "Rescue" - they are SAFE where they are...
Now they need a Home!

Not a good home, a great home! Mike read all the threads regarding the boys yesterday, and both he and Carla decided they wanted them. No pressure whatsoever! Carla has been looking and thinking about them for a while. They have a large roomy, and spotless home, spend thousands$$$$$ on vet trips for all their cats, and have plenty of love to share. The two interested parties (at Petsmart) didn't seem too responsible. One was a nutcase (according to Diane K) and the other family wanted one cat only, and also didn't seem like the purrfect home. And if for some reason Carla and Mike decide the boys aren't working out for some reason, the shelter will alway take them back. Highly unlikey that will happen though.

I feel like I won the lottery.I'm suppose to pick them up at about 5pm today.Yippy!!!!

[leslie]

Yay! Carla! Thanks for giving the boys a loving home full of friends to play with! For others who want info, go to thread re: Catfamily adopted a cat from me today: posted by QueenScoopalot. The boys are doing fine and dandy! We look forward to pics tomorrow! We are all tired from dealing with several inches of snow (8 to 10 and more where there are drifts...argh!) I am glad they are sleeping in a regular home again!

[catfamily]

They are all OK at my home this AM.I'm tired.I stayed up all night to make sure everyone was OK.Louie is very domineering and owns the house and everyone in it.Lucky is sweet and lovable..but still spitting at my cats and owns all the toys.Lucky won't let anyone play with any toys.Louie is growling spitting at everyone and insist to go on the kitchen counters,gas stove,I keep pushing him down but insist to keep going up.Doesn't like to be told what to do.They are both Very wild but lovable.I think they'll calm down even more by tomorrow.My cats were all so scared all night so I had to stay up all night.Poor Marshall was getting killed by Louie and even My Monty was crying all night because he was scared of them.I should of put them in a room first..but they are the kind of cats that would tear apart the room to get out.LOLThey both love to be patted and picked up.Thank Goodness for that.
Madeline is in the safety of the bathroom and comes out for about a minute at a time.She is the best lovable cat.No spitting or anything from her.
