Dilemma - opinions sought. *PICS ADDED*

[jenluckenbach]

Just curious, why are they asking you to take this particular cat? I am sure they have many cats that come through their doors, . Did they indicate why they did a special outreach for this cat? Or do they often call you to take cats that they feel won't be adopted in a shelter setting?

I can't say for certain, but I do know that they contact us because one of our members does BREED rescue. They sent us a Maine Coon recently. Also, as is common in these types of shelters, they PTS anything that is sick (we are taking a white baby because it has an URI). Could be that they can't work with this cat because of the health problems.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...............


BraveHeart (as I named him) will becoming a One by One cat this Monday. He, and a white 15 week old male kitten I named Kimba will be delivered to me sometime Monday in time for me to try to get BraveHeart to the vet for his first exam. I want the vet to listen to his heart, draw blood for a work up and check his mouth.


BraveHeart is a Blue (or Lilac) point Himalayan. A large, fluffy cloud of fur. (as reported by our 1by1 representative who saw him. ) He is described as sweet, sweet, sweet!

I am very excited! I just know we will be able to help him find a forever home once he is on the road to good health.

ANYONE who wishes to donate to his impending vet costs should visit our site (www.1by1.petfinder.org) and use the paypal button and label FOR BRAVEHEART. Or send checks to One by One @ PO Box 226 Kutztown, PA 19530.

Oh, that's wonderful news, Jen! God bless you and everyone at One By One, and best wishes to Braveheart and Kimba.

Thank you!

Should we put his name on the check so they will know who it is for?

You could put a note in the envelope, or his name in the memo section.

Thank you (and Pat) for your kind donations.

Will he be spending his whole first day (Monday) at the vets or will you get your hands on him long enough to post pictures of him? Sorry to press you but I already have a special feeling for him and I leave first thing Wednedsay morning for work and would love to have a picture of him to take with me to remind me to pray for him every day! (and to talk to him, sending him good vibes and whisper sweet nothing in his ear)

Jen, I just made a donation, but PayPal didn't give me a place to put that it is FOR BRAVEHEART, so would you please add that to the form you get there and/or let whoever needs to know about it know?

Best wishes to him and little Kimba too, and all you good purrrsons of whatever species at OneByOne.

Wonderful news, for Braveheart! Here's best wishes for a positive report from the vet!

And Kimba, a 15 week old should be easy to place.

I just reread this - what did you decide to do? I hope you kept the cat.

Here is the recent thread.

I have BraveHeart, but I am afraid that it may have been too late for him.
