Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Hi all. New cat coming
I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and someone was giving away a Himmie. I emailed them and found out it is the boyfriend giving away girlfriend's cat. She was finding a home for this cat for a friend since she already had too many cats. Her boyfriend doesn't like cats at all and didn't want this Himmie around because of all the hair. After many emails, I told him I really couldn't take the cat but to find it a good home and ask a fee. Don't give away for free. Today he emails me that do I want the cat? Again, I said no. I didn't have room for another. He says "well, she goes to the pound this afternoon." I emailed back and said "No! I'll take her." At least I could save her from the pound. She is coming this weekend. A female, 4 yr. old chocolate point Himmie, declawed and disease free. No issues like biting or litter box problems. I really don't know what I am going to do. I only have 1 bedroom and no spare room to keep her in. My 2 boys are 10 and have lived together all their lives. I've had them since they were 8 weeks old. > I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and > someone was giving away a Himmie.

She is shy at first, but after a week of solitude comes out to play and be with people and pets. I just don't have the room and my 2 boys are very demanding and I clean up hair everyday. I have to brush them everynight. Also, in my condo rules, it states that a condo owner cannot have more than 2 pets. I have very nosy neighbors and would constantly be scared of keeping a 3rd pet and having to give it away later because of these rules. Two of my neighbors have keys to my place in case of an emergency and I just don't know. > > "yepp" <nodot@.com> wrote in message > news:44KdnSx7WK_i2XzfRVn-uQ@rcn.net...

Sorry, Yepp. I talked to DH and he said we really can't add to the four we already have - we are having a difficult time of it right now financially and after Jessie's recent illness it made us realize that we need some "padding" in case one gets really sick. I really wish we could though. I think with her being a pure-bred Himmie, though, you shouldn't have a problem finding her a home locally.

I've had them since they were 8 weeks old. You are so kind to agree to take her. Something will work out and you will find a home for her. I'm a firm believer in good deeds will be rewarded. On the other hand.. your boys might like a new friend? Your landlord would never know unless he is regularly on pet patrol searching your house.

I will get attached within hours so I must make a plan. The cat was going to the pound and here, the pound is a shelter that kills within 7 days. Too many pets. I am surprised because this is a purebred Himalayan cat, declawed and has even won a cat show at some time in her short life. Has a ribbon! I still don't know why the original owner got rid of her. She is 4 years old. Oh well. I am stressing at the moment. >> >I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and >> > someone was giving away a Himmie.

I feel so sorry for her, I would take her in a minute. Except that I live in England.. And even if I didn't, Kitty Farmcat would give her a very hard time ;-) Someone will come forward for her. She's a very adoptable kitty. Kudos to you for saving her. Tweed >> >I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and >> > someone was giving away a Himmie.

It's a damn shame this happens. But my guess is the usual. Owners had problems with cat, so had her declawed. As usually happens this made her behavior and personality worse, not better. In all probability all she was doing to start with was being a cat. So now that they have already maimed her they want to dump the responsibility on someone else. (Jerks, creeps, insert favorite epithet) And in most cases she will be a nice pet for someone else. My Aunt has two Himalayans like this she got from a rescue group. One has adjusted into a pretty nice pet. The other lives under her bed and comes out at night or when no one is around to eat and use the litter box. Her husband was ready to have that one put down after it slashed him and put him in the hospital but their vet talked them out of it.

I have to check it out a little more but she seems okay. She lives in the same condo development as I. This precious doll will arrive at 7:30am and I have to keep her in the bathroom. We will see. >>>>> I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board >>>>> and someone was giving away a Himmie.

All my life I have heard the phrase "get rid of" in reference to pets, and it has always made me cringe. Please, don't "get rid of" any animal, just find it a new home. OK? >> >I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and >> > someone was giving away a Himmie.

What did I tell you? You did the right thing and it worked out and she has a home.. Have faith. It will always work out if you do the right thing, in the end. Tweed Boy-cats won't usually object to a girl-cat. I hope it works out for her to stay with you and your boys. >I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and > someone was giving away a Himmie.

I've had them since they were 8 weeks old. See if there are any breeders and/or showers of Himmies in your area. Perhaps they have someone on a list who wants a "pet quality" Himmie, or indeed, can show a declawed, desexed one. Purrs for the new kitty, may his/her foreverhome turn up very quickly. Yowie Poor kitty! Thank you for taking such good care of her. Lots of purrs and best wishes for her to find her onetruehome really soon, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > I have 2 Himalayans and this week, I was browsing some pet board and > someone was giving away a Himmie.

Best of luck in homing her. I hope her new home you found works out for her. What a shame for people to discard pets like possessions...they are living beings, dependent on you, like children. I would never tolerate a partner who couldn't tolerate my pets. Don't like my cats? Don't live with me. --Fil > > > She is coming this weekend.

In fact I've learned to listen to my cats' judgment of people since it seems to be better than mine! ;> Hugs, CatNipped |
