Well, that tuxedo ladycat from last summer is back in the bathroom. She was scratching at her ears and mom got a call from the store manager saying she had a "huge gash" on her neck. It wasn't huge and it wasn't bleeding, but this guy has no cat skills and so mom picked her up and had the vet at the adoption center take a look at her. Nothing evident with her ears....
However, the manager is a....nevermind. He made it VERY clear that Licorice wasn't welcome back at the store. Mom got her back on Thursday and the head rescue lady spoke to the store manager. He tried to say it was the "health" issues but made enough comments that we are all sure it is more about the time she has been up there and not getting adopted. So.....Licorice is back at the house and won't be going back to the store at all. Mom put up a flyer there though.
Here's the thing....she is super sweet. She is a great lap cat - she has even come up to mom in the last couple of days and asked for some lap time. Licorice isn't fond of being picked up and carried around, but hey, most of us aren't either. She loves her toys and is hilarious to watch play. She has been around other cats and dogs and would be fine with slow introductions. Due to her itchiness, she is eating grain free and has done very well on it. So that is her only restriction. You can read about how she came to us here. And honestly, back at the house, she is living in the bathroom with limited mom time. We REALLY want her to find a home of her own and will arrange transport if you can provide her with her forever home.
She has come a long way baby.....

We will be purring extra hard for Licorice to be adopted. Maybe send Cumin / Julius some "you need a sisfur called Licorice"? ;)
ReplyDeleteLicorice sounds just like us kitties here - we are all awesome kitties and we hate being carried around! In fact, she may even be better because none of us are lap cats! Paws crossed she finds a home soon - that store manager is just a jerk, and I am putting that extremely politely.
ReplyDeleteWe will purr extra for Licorice to get a loving home and hope the store manager poops in his pants.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
purrs that Licorice's people find her right quick.. (and that manager finds a new line of work, one more suited to his lack of compassion for an animal in need)
ReplyDeleteHissssss and WHAP to the store manager!
ReplyDeleteI think Licorice is beautiful and if she were this side of the pond, the ape says she could come and live here forever because I will teach her to love all cats.
I hope a super person adopts her soon and gives her the wonderful life that she deserves
