Default Who to adopt (new cat arrived)


wrote in message
ups.com...
Back in August I asked for some opinions on deciding on a new cat.
Well, the decision has been some time coming but yesterday I brought
the new kitty home.

Not a shy cat, neither a chronic URI cat, but a senior cat with kidney
and liver failure. Owner died, children brought her to the shelter. She
wasn't in the best shape when she arrived and then caught a URI at the
shelter and stopped eating. We'll see how she does here, at least she
immediately came out of her box and also ate a can of food. If nothing
else, she can have her last days, or weeks, or months in a home instead
of a box at the shelter. Right now the guest bedroom is hers, but
hopefully she will get used to my cats so she can enjoy the rest of the
flat and the yard.

Thanks for your opinions.



That's fabulous! It's a great sign that she's willing to eat so soon.
She's probably overjoyed at being in a home, rather than a cage! She's so
lucky to have found you!
