It's ok . It's been one of those weeks. I know what my rescue friends are going to say - 'take a break'. I know but this cat just came out of no where.

So the cat (Chico) that saved the dog was saved today. What a day!

BenMax, you are also an angel for caring about this wonderful boy. He deserves to spend his senior years loved. Would you be willing to post a photo of him now?

Aw, what a great ending to this thread. Bless you all for your efforts. Now I'm crying. Although, I'm not sure why this thread is in the dog and cat food forum - but who cares now huh.

OMG - I didn't notice I had him in food!!! I was too distraught to even look properly. You guys have no idea what I was doing trying to get this cat a home. All my rescue dog people have officially stamped me as 'nuts'.

What an emotional rollar coaster!!!!

You are quite welcome Frenchy. Puce is a sweetie. As soon as you said he got along well with other kitties I figured he would fit in here!

You got a deal!! I actually have 'fessed up and told him there are two kitties coming on Tues. He said as long as they aren't in the house it's fine. And he will be building the new enclosure a little quicker now. Gotta love him!!

Wow...so happy for Chico! I saw this thread on my Blackberry at work and couldn't reply, but wondered if there was a way to convince DH-to-be. That didn't seem very likely though, so I'm so happy to hear everything has worked out (for Puce too!) You're amazing 14+

I wasn't sure I wanted to look..... but man I miss all the excitement when I'm at work!!! 14+ as usual....I love ya. And kudos to you all for the support and love and encouragement for BenMax and Chico(another white and tabby....too cute.... it was so meant to be!)

Man I love this place.....

(on a side note, I went over to see my dad's new costco shed today.... I simply mentioned how great it would be for rescuing cats and he looks at me and says 'don't even think about it!' .... I have got to get a house and my own yard!!!)

14....do you need a crate for them until hubby gets the next shelter built?? I still have that cat condo thing with the two perches if you need it!

Too funny your dad!!

Thanks kr for the offer of the crate. At the moment I am good. Chris and Ethel had brought me out another one when they came for their visit a while back. Right now the newest guy is in it. He is getting fixed on Monday night (at your vets) and will be getting moved soon.
As of last night things are kind of up in the air about this all. BenMax will be here soon to let everyone know what's happening I'm sure. It's good!

14+K - I thank you so very much first and formost.

Many do not know this but many people from Pets came forward: Of course 14+, L4H, Masha, Lucky Penny, Frenchy and RottieLover. There has been such tremendous support here at pets it really has touched my heart - as cold as some may think it is - I assure you it is warm and fuzzy right now.

There is a story behind this story of course. To be brief, I had to cat test a dog that was finding a forever home provided he passed the cat test. I tested him with Chico. Now if I touch an animal, I feel responsible for the fate from that day forward. I do not like to use one to save one. I believe then in saving both if I can. So outside of pets, alot of workings were in progress. I contacted everyone trustworthy I could think of - all over 2 provinces. There initially was no response and then they started to come in. Some saying good luck but we are all in the same boat. Some with prayers, tears and good wishes. Later that evening - I got confirmation that the people adopting the dog are also very interested in adopting the cat since one saved the other's life.

14+K has given me permission to let this cat go to his new forever home.

Bless each and everyone of you. You have humbled me, guided me and though I already knew it before - this place is so beautiful - full of wonderful, caring, dedicated, gorgeous human beings. If I did not say it before, I will say it now: I love you all so very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

BM that is incredible news! How touching that the dogs adopters also wanted to take in Chico. It shows there still are some good people out there.

I wish I lived closer, I would offer my help more often, but it touches my heart to see how so many here came to help.

I was truly blessed to have found this place and all of you.
