My wife and I have talked a lot about how pets are treated. A cute little puppy or kitty cat at first that everybody falls in love with but a couple of months down the pike the pets are just things that can be chained up or let loose on the streets.
Cranberry has been given to a loving family. I will miss her but this had t be done for health reasons. My health.
That is great to hear Lon. My frequent bloody nose problem went away after my old kitties died at age 20. I didn't realize how much my allergies to their fur was affecting my general health until they were gone.
Now that my kitty is in a new home with other kitties I have given to Betty, one of my resident neighbors my Self Cleaning Litter Box with two sacks of Crystal Litter, Automatic Cat Feeder, Cat food, Scratching post and toys. Betty is one of the younger residents and has a lovely cat. She offered to give me $ 200 for the supplies and equipment but I insisted that she accept it free of charge. Aren't I a nice Guy.
Cranberry is now with a loving family that has cats. She became physically difficult for me to deal with. I got little sleep since adopting her. I will miss her.
If I could put a like on your post, @Beth Gallagher ; I would do that. I totally agree with you, and probably most of us think about the same thing. A cat is not like having a bidet that you can just toss out when you are tired of it, they are a living, breathing soul.
Thank foodness glad you found her a nice home .I'm sure you will miss your litle cat but do understand sometimes we have ot let go.
Actually, Cranberry has NOT been given to a “loving family”, as you told us, @Lon Tanner . I just looked at the Fresno facility (Valley Animal Shelter) where you adopted her from, and she is back in cat-prison, hoping to be rescued by someone who will actually love and care for her.
As of the last report where you prevaricated about who adopted your cat, I would say that the nice guy thing is an exaggeration by you of your own character. Now, how much did you really sell all that gear for?
Before we get all hasty and rush to judgement, please read the entire listing. It says Cranberry has been there since Oct. 2020. Maybe an old listing or maybe Lon took her with a no judgement return agreement as if she never left. Put away the pitchforks for now. I believe Lon is telling the truth as he has posted photos all along and that is more than I can say for some that love to boast on this forum.
