I need strategies......QUICK!! ;)

My foster Mystique will be "pet of the week" in the newspaper this friday.

I don't want her to gooooooooooo!!!

She has been co-residing with my own cats for DAYS now and she is a total pleasure to have around. (now that she doesn't caterwall at the door to come visit. LOL )

But realistically I cannot adopt her. As it is I am rethinking allowing Simba to be adopted out (if anyone would ask about him). HE doesn't fit in well here....SHE does!!!

So......HOW do I ward off any prospective adopters?

[DrKym]

Mention how wonderful she is except for her small litterbox issue..........oh and her use of tennies as a pee spot, but other than that she is amazing! (of course keep your fingers crossed so it isn't really lying...... )

Ummm....gee, didn't you change Simba's name recently? And it was the WRONG picture! *whistling innocently*

OH, and don't forget the sex-change operation that was a complete success!! (LOL)

Tee Hee Hee....and that God awful sound she makes at 2 AM.

A little whipped cream aroud her mouth and the sign Mad Cat should make potential adopters at least a little leary.
But you have to all kidding aside think of Mystique and the fact that she would get more attention in a Furr Ever Home where shes the apple of everyones eye.
I know you will be brave, and do whats best for Mystique.

Well, you could always answer the phone with:

"Hi the cat is gone already; can I help you?"

CLICK! should be the response.

[DrKym]

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRR you could simply say, that she will be available right after her 4th hairball surgery is done, you have no IDEA how she manges to keep getting hairballs but the puppy population around town is on the decline......

How about

"We're so glad she hasn't shown any sign of ringworm yet like the others."

[jazzcat]

Maybe try telling them her snot problem eventually becomes endearing.

[catnapper]

"Mystique? I haven't seen her around anywhere recently. I think she was making short order of the couch a while ago. Poor girl has a fetish about destroying livingroom furniture."

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Tell them she has all possible diseases on cat-earth

[jenluckenbach]

OH!!! Boo Hoo!!! Mystique got MULTIPLE calls on her. And so far I have been in contact with 2 of them. She's going to be leaving, isn't she?

[GreyhoundGirl]

How about she drank all your booze? No one would want her after that.

Tell em she drank all your booze!!!! but if she does get a home, it's another one you saved, isn't it?

[K & L]

Tell them she's already been adopted! There's no way you can let them know you want her? They wouldn't help you out with this?
