Going "home" tomorrow
http://community.webshots.com/s/imag...5fYQASa_ph.jpg He's safely in my bathroom tonight and going to his [hopefully] forever home tomorrow. This guy has been a stray in my yard/neighbors yard since at least this past winter. I "trapped" him (funny story; he eluded the trap but I didn't know my neighbors had him tame enough to actually pick him up and put him in a carrier for me lol) so he's been neutered, shots since early spring. Finally found a home for him. Shamrock's none too happy he's spending the night in the bathroom. Oh well.. it's just one night. He's just too tame and friendly not to have a home. |

This is really a wonderful and happy ending and you have done such a fabulous thing for *two* cats, first Jake and now Lightning! I'm actually a little disappointed that only one other person has responded, especially since this is a rescue group and happy endings are the best thing to read here but unfortunately few and far between. Regardless, here is a cyber toast to you and a job well done and many good wishes for everything to fall into place in this kitty's new home!

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

Hi Cheryl, I just got home from my painting class and logged on ... and found your wonderful story. This is really heart-warming. It is great to see such a success story after reading some of the unpleasant (and sometimes tragic) tales about cats that have not found a home. Thanks for taking such good care of this cat. Incidentally, I loved your description of trying to "trap" the new guy. It had me laughing out loud -- and we can all stand a good laugh. MaryL (take out the litter to reply) |

Thanks, guys. The timing was very lucky. He has a pretty bad
infection on his foot from stepping on something and I never even saw him limp. The vet categorized it as a level 2 1/2 out of 4 for severity. He's on antibiotics now which his new Paw is giving him faithfully. I shudder to think what could have happened to him out there. |

Hey, just saw this. I can't get to the pictures... Congrats on finding him a home. Loved the trapping part, but this time I made sure I *wasn't* drinking anything when I read your post. K |

I can't get them from work because they blocked webshots at our firewall. I think it was because of the auto d/l'ing of new desktop backgrounds by a kazillion people clogging the bandwidth. |

I always felt bad when I would take in a stray and they had to be isolated until given all clear by vet but then someone in the cat groups just reminded me to think about the life they could be living if they were still a stray living in the wild and it made me feel better about what I had to do. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm |
