Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Grayling, Smokey, or whatever his name is...
We took our foster kitty, Smokey, Grayling, or Whatever His Name Is, back to the Haven last night as he's now ready to choose his onetruehome. It was a parting filled with mixed emotions and a lot of confusion. I think Grayling, or Whatever His Name Is, had decided that we were good hoomins and wanted to stay with us. We knew that, as well as he fit in, he really needs a sweet place of his own where he'll be loved and pampered at a top cat. When we first got him, he couldn't stand to be touched, was hypersensitive, and would either bite or claw anyone crazy enough to try to pet him. Before we transferred him to the carrier for the shelter, I held him for about ten minutes while talking to others about what a sweet cat he is. He was confused, as he KNEW that he wasn't going to come back with us, but still sweet and loving. I'm sad, but happy that he's going to get the love that he deserves. Pam S. happy/sad That's really tough. I just don't think I could foster. I hope kitty gets a home soon. > We took our foster kitty, Smokey, Grayling, or Whatever His Name Is, > back to the Haven last night as he's now ready to choose his [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Pam S. happy/sad >That's really tough.

You can keep the occasional one, but you can't keep them all! I can imagine how quiet and somber a house can seem all of a sudden once a kitten is gone. > That's really tough.

Aw, you did such a wonderful job on The Cat With Various Names, teaching him that hoomins are designated catslaves, and he should enjoy our servitude. I can well imagine it would be very hard to give him up, but you do have some very precious memories, along with the knowledge, that, because of you & your family, GSOWHNI can find a happy and loving onetruehome. Purrs to both him, and you. Yowie > That's really tough. I just don't think I could foster. I hope kitty gets a We tried it twice. The first time it broke our hearts to say good-bye.

Ohhh, so happy/sad! Since you got him so attached to humand and other pets, I'm sure he'll be so adoptable, he'll find a good home in no time. Did the fostering turn out to be fun enough that you'll consider doing it again? > Ohhh, so happy/sad!

One was abandoned and has absolutely no trust in humans, and the other is sickly and needs around the clock care. We're supposed to call and see what we can work out.

They must figure that since you did so well socializing one kitten, why not two more really tough cases? :) You are doing wonderful things for these kitties... *snugs* Purrs for Grayling to find his onetruehome soon. Will you find out when he does? As for me, um....well...when we first brought in the bitties, I said we'd keep them until they found a permanent home. They found one. Ours. --Fil > We're being readied for receiving two other possible fosters. One was > abandoned and has absolutely no trust in humans, and the other is sickly > and needs around the clock care.
