The return of Tiggerrooooo--IN HIS FOREVER HOME!!!

[jennielynn1970]

Or, as he has been renamed by his adopted family, RUPERT. I'm so not fond of that name. Rupert. That's an ugly kitty name! Poor guy!!

Well, Friday I got an email that there was something amiss in Rupert's household and the family decided that to solve the problem was to get rid of Rupert.

The story was told like this (in bits and pieces...).
Rupert and Mr. Fuzzy Paws aren't getting a long.

Mr. Fuzzy Paws is beating up on Rupert.

Rupert is peeing and peeing and peeing on the beloved papasan chair in the family room. Heavens!!!

RUPERT MUST FIND ANOTHER HOME.

Oh, yeah. They forgot to add that they added a new kitten to their home back in September 2009. The kitten upset the apples on the applecart, and the house was in ruins. No one was getting along, and Mr. Fuzzy Paws started bullying Rupert.

Offending Kitten is returned to shelter.

Offending Rupert is still being bullied and is still offending the papasan chair.

RUPERT MUST FIND ANOTHER HOME.


Sooooooooo.... without further interruptions, here is Rupert, who will more than likely be renamed, I dunno. The name bugs me.

Oh, can you tell in the photos how welll he is acclimating?? He's been hissy, but not too bad. Growly, but not too bad with that either. He's scared, which is to be expected, but today, he just kinda shone. He's been sweet, talkative, and very much the camera ham!

Aww what a cutie patootie, are you saying you have adopted him, hope so, he looks lovely,have you renamed him yet?

[jennielynn1970]

Have i adopted him..... ehhhhhh..... Not yet, lol. He's very sweet. He's very chatty and I'd love for him to blend into my furry family. Not sure my boyfriend would approve.

If I can find a good home for him, I will. He might be happier (and a reformed pee-er) if he's an only kitty.


We'll just have to see.

Rupert is a perfectly good name, after all, the actor who plays Ron Weasley is a Rupert ...

He's a handsome boy, and for some reason looks more Rupert than Tiggerish to me anyway!

He's grown up so quickly. He's so beautiful.

I have some pics when he first came to my place. He's so pretty.

Oh Rupert is adorable! Love his little nose! I hope that he settles in just fine w/no pee problems and that all will be well w/boyfriend.

It's just so..... FORMAL. and OLD.

I dunno... I guess he can stay a Rupert, lol.

He is adorable! And right now I am watching Survivor and Rupert is on there. It's an all star cast and Rupert won his season. I don't think it's too bad of a name. But if you want to change it then go for it! What does Dave think of the name?

[jennielynn1970]

So, today Rupert gets to meet and greet his possible new family! I'm excited for him, but also sad. He's such an awesome cat, I wish I could keep him, but I know that for my household, 5 is enough (or too much), and the happy medium we have with my cats is always ready to be broken and ending in havoc with one cat hiding in a corner and the "winner" sleeping on my bed, lol. It's just not a good scene, and adding one more to the mix will just upset the applecart even more (gosh I just used the terminolgy his former owner used, ick.). But the apples on the applecart analogy is just so appropriate for how this household is. Sometimes the apples are all good and happy where they are, and then sometimes, there's one too many apples, lol.

So, wish us luck with today's venture, and hope that he will enjoy meeting his potential new family.

Aww, I'd be sad, too...he looks like such a lovey! (and I think his name is kinda cute...........)

Jenn,
How did the meet and greet go?

The meet and greet went sooooo well!!! He cried the entire way there, breaking my heart, but as soon as we got there, he hopped out of the carrier, started sniffing around and was really social!!! NOTHING like when he first came here. He just seemed so at ease and so friendly, like he trusted us and trusted that we would not let anyone hurt him.

He spend the evening in the bedroom of the teenage girl, I was told, and everyone has been visiting him and loving on him, and he's doing marvelously! I'm sooooo happy for him!!!

So, hopefully, things will all go well, this will be his FINAL and PERMANENT home and we'll be getting lots of updates via Facebook!! I"ll send pics on here when I get them!

[jennielynn1970]

Oh yeah, and she's renaming him, lol. She didn't like RUPERT either, lol. She said she thinks she can live with Tigger, but she's thinking on a new name. So, we'll see. He didn't really answer to either name, so maybe a new one that fits him is in order.

Good to hear, best wishes to Tiggerroo in his new home.

I hope everything works out as well as it seems - good luck, Rupert!
