Tired Eyes and baby season!

Today - I cried almost all day long. I was so sad today.

My favourite "bad-egg" kitty Felix's future at the shelter is up. Yesterday; we had to take him to the vet and he lashed out at them. He is a special-needs kitty that is TERRIFIED; and only feels comfortable with those that he trusts. I can hold him - pet him - do whatever I want to him - but he's not so accepting when other people do. I am certain that the shelter atmosphere is why he's like that.

All day - I was trying my hardest to make arrangements for Felix - to see if there was something else I could do for him. I asked my boss if I could save him somehow - and she said I could - if I took him home. DONE DEAL.

Jeff and I talked tonight and I am going to bring Felix home tomorrow - I am going to socialize him - turn the guest room into HIS ROOM - and turn him into a sound cat. I am also going to place ads for him and find him a GREAT home as soon as I am confident that he will be fine.

I love this little guy and my heart was CRACKING for this little man. He's my boy and I just can't bear to lose him. I know the reality of this job - but I can help him. He's 2yr old - a neutered male - microchipped and completely up to date on vaccines. I will take his life into my hands and not give up on him.



On ANOTHER note - we got babies in! It is officially kitten season! We already have about 8 new babies in!

We also got in these little babies....momma' was hit by a car and the babies were trying to nurse off of her. Some teenagers pulled the babies off and rushed her in to the shelter. They are going to go to a Wildlife Sanctuary where they will grow up and be released into the wild again. Can you guess what they are?

Ummmm excuse me??? I was not consulted about whether or not I was willing to share my room with Felix ;-) I guess I will have to camp out in CLub Jeff instead!

Tammy said...

Hi Barb!

Maybe the room can be both of ours? I hope Felix doesn't snore!

I'm so sad to hear about Felix - you're so sweet to take him home.

Hmmmmm, are you holding one of the babies you are talking about?? It seems a bit big to be a baby.

Christy the baby possums(?) are so tiny ...how many were there.

Tammy said...

Christy,

I hope the rodents are not staying at your house too... you know I don't like rodents or birds right?

Christy said...

The baby opossums, (3), have been taken to a wildlife sanctuary. They were so cute - their little tails would curl around our fingers. I will post pictures of the other girls at work too.
