Crookshanks found a home!

[wolflady]

Hi everyone! The stray cat that I've been caring for since I moved into our little home down in Gilroy, California has finally found a home!! Yay! I'm so happy about it. I have been wanting to take her myself, but the hubby won't stand for that, and our house is just too small for more than 2 cats. If Scooter didn't have his behavioral problem, we probably would have considered it, but it's just to much. So, needless to say, I bought her a nice covered house from PetCo. to keep dry in, with a fleece bed and everything! I was able to get her into my vet under the stray/feral program about a year ago, so at least I know she's fixed. Bless her little kitty heart! I know she had to have been someone's pet at one time, and it always breaks my heart not to let her inside.

So, finally, she will have a home!! Some friends of mine brought one of their friends(Elena) down a few weekends ago, and their friend just fell in love the Crookshanks. After re-negotiating her lease this past week, she is able to have a cat! I'm so happy. I sure hope everything goes well for Crookshanks and her new meowmie! I'm sure there will be quite a few adjustments and all, but I really do think Crookshanks will settle nicely into being a "housecat"! So, Elena is coming Saturday morning to collect Crookshanks. I'm sure I'll feel a little sad not having her around, but I'm happy that she'll be in a nice warm and loving home where she deserves to be!

CONGRATULATIONS AND JOB WELL DONE!!!

Is her name going to remain Crookshanks???? (It is such a cute name!)

Wolflady,

Great job!!!! I just hope that the lease "negotiations" included a pet deposit and NOTa declaw clause. I hope they give her all the love and kitty treats she deserves.

Karen this is just wonderful news!! I'm so happy for you! This way you might even be able to sort of keep tabs on the little cutie since she's going to live with a friend of a friend. I am curious too about her name. I think it's just adorable and hope they keep it. Hooray for Karen and hooray for Crookshanks! I know you will miss her but she's finally got a forever home and that is just terrific!

such wonderful news.

Yipeeee! Will you have visitation rights???

That's great! She's a pretty girl.

Yippiieee!!! I'm so happy for you and Crookshanks. I know you've wanted a good home for her, and now it looks like she's found it.

Thanks for the wonderful news! And I too like the name Crookshanks - kinda sounds like she belongs on a pirate ship.

I'm so glad to hear that this pretty little kitty will have a
loving indoor home. She deserves it. I think she should have
a pretty girly name. With those beautiful green eyes & long
whiskers. I'd call her Cookie. Congrats little one!!!

Congrats Karen, on a job well done.

Crookshanks is also Hermione Granger's orange familiar cat in the third Harry Potter book.

Love the name Crookshanks!

She's adorable and I'm so happy she now has a home.

[Karen]

Oh, I just LOVE happy endings! Congratulations to Crookshanks and her new human!

[wolflady]

Thank you everyone! It's nice to have a little bit of good news on the boards amidst all the sadness of late.

I will be taking Crookshanks to her new home tomorrow morning!! I figure that would be less stress on her than having Elena coming down to get her. I really hope that everything works out for them. I did tell Elena that if for some reason it doesn't work out, to let me know and I would take her back. But, hopefully Crookshanks will settle into the housecat life nicely!

I have a feeling that she will be changing Crookshanks's name (possibly to Sophie), but at least I will have "visitation rights", so it will be neat to see her transition. I'll be sure to get some pics after she has settled into her new home!

I'll be sure to let you all know how the "move" goes tomorrow!! Thanks so much for the support and kind words! Ya'll are the best!

**hugs**

That's great news. I'm so glad that she found a new home.

Karen, how did it go yesterday? Is Elena going to keep in touch with you? I hope so. We'd all like to know how little Crookshanks adapts to her new life as a spoiled little inside kitty. Oh this is such a happy story after so much sadness recently at Pet Talk.
