Cat to a good home

  • AndrewA

    I have a cat that I LOVE, but she does not love the dogs. She is the sweetest, most loving cat to whoever feeds her. She is very skittish, and will not let anybody other than her provider pet her. She spends much of her time in my closet hiding from the world. She spent most of her first 2 years as an outdoor cat & now that we're in an apartment she's indoor only.
    I think she much prefers to be an outdoor cat & does not enjoy living with the dogs. I just feel its unfair to keep her, although I hate the idea of parting with her.
    If anybody could provide a quiet, dog free home or lives on a quiet cul-de-sac where she would be safe from speeding cars, I think she would be much happier. She would take some time to adjust to the new family, but whoever feeds her gains her undying love & affection. (I was out of town for a week once. My mom fed her for me, and she became my mom's best friend. As soon as I returned home, she wouldn't go near my mom).
    I love her so much, and if nobody can take her, I will be keeping her. If somebody does take her & it doesn't work out, I would require she be returned to me. I just believe I'm not providing her with the happiest home life I could & its not fair to her.

    One of our most special cats (who is now over the Rainbow Bridge) was a black and white feral female we wound up having for 15 years. We had been feeding Miss Mew and her siblings for about a month. One day, we decided to catch all of them. Miss Mew was the first we caught. She had an eye infection (her eye was bulging) and I used the lack of her peripheral vision to grab her. The others were clever, but we eventually coaxed them into our condo with tuna. One of the four cats (the only male) was sickly. We took him to our vet, and after some testing, found out he had Feline Leukemia. Sadly, the best decision was to euthanize him. We were able to find homes for the other 2 girls, but we could just tell Miss Mew was special. About 4 years later, Miss Mew became a surrogate mom to my incredbly special cat Barney, who passed over the Rainbow Bridge last September 25, interestingly enough the same day as Kipawa was born! We now believe that Kipawa was heaven sent to us by Barney. The cosmos works in strange and wonderful ways. As the saying goes, "you get what you need". Any animal we have ever had has been what we have needed. And it all started with a feral cat named Miss Mew. Hugs to Miss Mew, who is now Barney's mom once again.
