Thread: Ally and Connor update

  1. #1

    Ally and Connor update

    Sorry I haven't been online much lately - I am so stressed with the cats, packing up the house, selling cars etc....

    Anyway, some good news, and some hopeful news...

    CONNOR will be making his way to the USA to be fostered by a very special PTer - Cheryl (Emily-The-Spoiled). I am so grateful to Cheryl for stepping in and offering to have Connor in her home, and with her other precious special-needs babies, whilst we are Nigeria. It means so much that (a) I will not have to give him up permanently, and (b) he will still be a part of PT whilst he is away from me.

    On the downside, the costs to get him to the states are substantial, as he has to fly via London on British Airways. This is the ONLY airline which has a direct service to Washington from Bahrain (albeit via Heathrow), so I can't shop around for better pricing etc. I hate to ask, but if anyone here could possibly help out, even the smallest donations will be greatly appreciated.

    ALLY - good news there too folks!! My friend Chantelle (who adopted my deaf foster Crystal last year) has two friends who are both interested in Ally. In both cases she would be an inside-only and ONLY cat, so fingers crossed that this will work out. The only limitiation is that I will have to put aside money to ship Ally to wherever her new owner decides to go to after Bahrain - as both of them have expressed concern about the lack of permanence in the expat community here, and neither of them wants to bond with Ally and then have to leave her behind when they leave - of course I am totally willing to do this!

    So it seems like both Ally and Connor will soon be in loving new homes - although how I am going to manage without them remains to be seen

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    Julie, I am delighted to hear this news! I think that the expense will be so worth it, to have both babies safely with other families. I hope your husband agrees!!!

    Ally and Connor will remain in my prayers, as will you, until all of this is finalized.

    Juilie, what fantastic news (bittersweet though) I'm glad Connor will have a great foster home and Ally will potentially get a great new home.

    DO you have a PayPal account? Or does someone you trust?

    How can people get help to you?

    Good news so far!

    That is wonderful news, Julie!!! Of course I'm sad for you that you have to leave them behind, but it makes me soo happy that they will have new homes, and won't need to be PTS!! Maybe Ally will even enjoy after a while being the ONLY cat, who knows...

    I would also like to give a bit (even though I can't give much ). If anyone has a paypal account, it would be the best.

    STANDING OVATION FOR CHERYL
    Thank you for helping Connor.

    And I love that there should be a home for Ally as well.

    Now for {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}. Being without those precious babies will be so hard.

    How can we go about making a donation?

    I am glad that you finally made the announcement to everyone

    We are more than happy to have Connor join our little (or not so little) family. He will become "furry alarm clock #8 but I know that he will fit in without too much trouble.

    I guess these means that I might have to actually upload some of the pictures on my digital camera so Julie can keep an eye on Connor...
