Thread: This is 14 year old Carrie

Hybrid View

    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.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    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.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    Carrie is gorgeous!

    I already expressed my feelings on the situation via phone.

    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.......
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    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.

    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.
