We hope that Aiden is exactly what the family -- and the resident ladycat -- needs! <br /><br />We had a failed adoption last year, and the head peep cries about it still if she thinks about it too much. (like, umm... now) But Ashton reaching a point that she wouldn't come out for meals was too much. You're right, the resident kitties have to be given first consideration. In our case, Beau was later adopted into a new home along with his brother, which is a best-of-all-possible-outcomes scenario for him. We're crossing our paws that the kitty that the lady had to return to your group finds a perfect fit home, too, even if it wasn't on the first try.Cats Herd Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571176442884334134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-72135457657742968882014-11-11T17:53:52.116-05:002014-11-11T17:53:52.116-05:00That's a wonderful story.

I couldn't see any harm in them adopting another cat, but the shelter insisted they needed a month to give the resident cat time to 'forgive' them.. or some such nonsense.. <br /><br />Best wishes Aiden.. may it be a love match between you and this girl kittyConnie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-70318430578125545032014-11-11T16:19:58.399-05:002014-11-11T16:19:58.399-05:00Oh, what a beautiful story!

It's not something I'm proud of, I did it all by the book for 16 days (and btw, paid out of pocket to neuter him, because our shelter doesn't do it automatically, bloodwork done, etc). Still, it was the wrong choice for the us and I remember calling a friend in tears, who took us back to the shelter. I was crying so hard and half-hysterical, so that I could barely even speak. I felt beyond awful. So I can well imagine how this woman felt. I really hope Aiden works out well for all and that he fits in.<br /><br />In my case, I happened to be at the shelter the day people came into look at the fellow I'd failed (because it was my failure alone), and of course ended up in tears again, telling them he was healthy, neutered, just needed the right environment, etc.<br /><br />I never thought it would happen to me, but sometimes we DO do everything we can and it still doesn't work. I learned a great deal from that experience, and mostly not to listen to "experts" and to trust my own gut and judgement instead. That's crucial.<br />Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.com
