She was adopted about 2 weeks ago. And on day 14, the lady brought her back. Seems her daughter got her a kitten, but then her son bought her a new puppy (for $700!!) so the kitten was being returned. Oh - and she wanted her adoption fee back. That didn't happen.....
However, the next evening a very nice family with 2 teenagers came in and fell in love with this cute fuzzy face (wouldn't you??). The daughter is actually thinking about starting her in training to become a therapy cat. So it was all for the best..... The new family has an adult cat and a dog (mom said she would LOVE to be a fly on a wall for that meeting....miss diva isn't going to be really happy about a d-o-g)

Lyon will head back to the adoption center tomorrow. He will be the littlest kitten available right now, so he should go pretty quickly. Fortunately he is also pretty friendly and that helps too.
Avignon?? Well, mom tried to drop her off yesterday to be spayed and that didn't happen since the first clinic "claims" they didn't know about the hernia that mom told them about. The head of the rescue said take her to another clinic. Mom headed off there....yes, the girl has a big bump on the same back leg. No hernia they could find....just....another abscess. We don't get it. Anyhow, no surgery and she is back to being

Mom dropped the laptop off yesterday so hopefully we will be back on track next week.

Paws crossed that this time Acorn really is in her forever home.
ReplyDeletePaws crossed for Lyon too, and purrs for little Avignon!
Grrr...well, I guess all's well that ends well...right? Yeah, I know...easy to say afterward, but major frustrations on the way. As long as the kitties get fixed up and adopted to forever homes. Whew!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that Acorn found a good home.That is always good. That is too bad about Avignon. Sure send lots of purrs.
ReplyDeletelook at that flagrant use of photos in this post *giggle*
ReplyDeleteI always call those types of adoptions holding patterns.. because apparently Acorn needed to be where she was when she was to get to a home that will be her forever home. I'm sure she'll get over having to put up wit a dog in no time..
can't wait to hear about that tortie adoption :)
recycling at its best MOL
Deletewe suspect she will have that dog doing her bidding in no time flat
People. Argh! Sending lots of purrs and love to Avignon, and good thoughts to Acorn and that gorgeous tortie girl!
ReplyDeletePeople just really get my goat. BUT being brought back beats some other alternatives! So I will be grateful for that aspect of it. Bless Acorn.
ReplyDeleteSome people think cats and dogs are like macrame wall hangings... Don't ike 'em, don't want 'em? Take 'em back. Get your money back. On to the next living, feeling creature that can be passed around.
ReplyDeleteHow much cat and dog food can be bought for $700? How many animals are waiting in pounds and shelters for homes?
apparently the commentary from the head of the rescue that was there at the time was...ummm... colorful :)
DeleteThat's some good news. We're happy for Acorn. Her new family sounds much nicer than the old one!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
Sounds like Acorn got the best deal ;-)
ReplyDeleteAvignon, goodness--what are you doing?
I'm so happy Acorn is still being adopted. Maybe it will end up better this way. The teenager apparently really wants her, so that is good. We love success stories.
ReplyDeleteAcorn would make an awesome therapy kit=cat! That's exciting - though I'm sorry there was a re-homing in there.
ReplyDeletePoor Avignon! We sure hope everything works out and that she heals up and everything!
Good luck to Lyon!
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
Wow, lots going on with the kittens! Stupid first adopters of Acorn - I'm glad she found a better home.

ReplyDeleteWe hope all goes well for Acorn in her new home.
ReplyDeletePoor Acorn, but I am glad she will have a better home. And poor Avignon, I will keep praying for her.
ReplyDeleteI read your post and my jaw dropped!
ReplyDeleteI mean WTF (no I'm not sorry I swored) Like Mr Bellen says a disposable macrame wallhning. OooooH I hope the puppy costs her dear and she regrets giving back this precious kitty - now heading for a MUCH MUCH BETTER home!!
Silver Kitten
Acorn as a therapy cat? VERY COOL!
ReplyDeleteWe are really glad Acorn is being adopted again. Hopefully this time it's by humans that realize how special she is...
ReplyDeleteNoodle and crew
Well, it sounds like Acorn found her true happily ever after. Better than the knuckleheads who returned her!
ReplyDeleteWe're purring and praying for little Avignon.
