puttting my siamese up for adoption?
so, i got a crazy siamese situation. i live in NY and i live a very
busy life. one year ago a siamese was given to me as a "love gift" from a guy that has almost, if not so, been stalking me. i refused the gift since i was in no situation to take care of a cat, i didn't want a gift from him and i dont support the idea of giving away animals as gifts. he told me that he had already gotten her and as I refused for about four weeks the whole situation turned in to him telling me that - you have to take her, i cannot keep her. he finally brought her to our work, without my knowledge and left her there for me to take (since we are working together). i took her home determined that i would adopt her away, but of course i fell in love and i thought that i would give it a try. ever since then i moved 3 times, and basically that is my life. i lived recently with other cats wich she loved and now she is really depressed from being taken away from them since i moved again. it was probably never a good idea to not find her a home right away. im struggeling a lot with my life and right now i finally got a new place where my life and roommates seems to be working out. the problem is that she is so noisy. i know that is special for the siamese breed but she wont let me sleep through the night. i cant even go to the bathroom without her screaming outside the door. she only seems to be happy and calm if she can lie on top of me, if im just around the corner and she cant see me, she screams. when she is around other cats it keeps her occupied and she is happy, she basically LOVES other animals, i even think she would be a good friend with a dog if she had the oppurtunity to live with one. with other words, she needs attention and i dont have the time, i am gone sometimes 14 hours a day. i spend all my time working or taking classes and im dealing with a divorce. what i dont know is what to do next. i know she has already been through a lot, moving and a lot of stress. i have been so stressed out over my own life its been really hard making someone else feel safe. i thinking about giving her up for adoption but i had people say that another change will kill her. if that is the case maybe its better me trying? im desperate for advice |

I'm not trying to slam you. I do understand your situation, and I'm glad you acknowledge that you should have found her a home immediately when you got her. I would listen to what some of the posters who work in animal adoption have to say, and you might also try listing her at petfinders.org. Be very careful when adopting out this cat. Unfortunately there are some very sick individuals who would use her for bad purposes. Thoroughly investigate the home where she will be living, and thoroughly check out any potential adopters, including calling their references, and calling their regular vet to see what type of owner they are. Another thought is you could try a Siamese rescue. Please, do not get any more animals until you are very grounded and settled in your life. I know you realize now that having an animal is a full-time responsibility. Learning as we grow older is part of life's lessons. I wish you luck, and please let us know how it goes with the adoption. |
