Arrival Story:
It's a long one and I already typed it once and lost the page! I went to buy a MegaMiliions ticket(toyed with naming her Millie)and saw this emaciated bald-butted cat stretched out in the parking lot. The store lent me a plastic crate and, even though she was a bit shy and escaped twice, I managed to catch her with help. I took her to my vet to be tested for FeLV/FIV and intended to turn her into a shelter as I already had too many animals. As luck would have it, the cat intake person from an organization was there. I know this group euthanizes if cats are positive and I have a friend that rescues positive kitties so I decided to sign her over after she came back negative the next day. She was negative but she had Chyletiella(I toyed with Ella as a name, too) Mites and the intake lady refused her. I asked what would have happened had I signed her over the day before. She would have been euthanized for something totally curable. So, I brought her home and isolated her in a dog crate as these mites are highly contagious to other animals. She required three doses of Revolution each fifteen days apart. I asked the intake person, if after I cured the mites and spayed her if she would take her...even if I had to foster her. She refused. When I started crying that I couldn't afford another cat as I already had eight, she said,"You complain about eight while we have colonies." I can understand, to an extent, why they couldn't take her with mites but there was no need to be sarcastic to me because I couldn't keep her. I have to pay for all my cats medical needs while their "colonies" are funded by donations from people like me. I thought I was doing a good deed and I get sarcasm. Most shelters I called were very nice in their refusal but some were down right rude. Anyhow, a couple days after I brought Emma home, she got really sick and had to be hospitalized with pneumonia. I feared it was FIP and that I had condemned my cats to death by bringing her in. Her first week or so, I think she thought I lived in tears. Well, it wasn't FIP and she got out of the hospital after two days and is thriving. Miss fat and sassy!

Bio:
One shelter had volunteered to take her after I cured the mites and spayed her. However, after what we had been through, I found I couldn't give her up. She's happy here, I think, even though I cannot get her integrated with the other cats. She picks and choses who she likes of the cats and doesn't yet have full run of the house. Occasionally there is a fight involving vet visits but they have lessened. Maybe...and just maybe because I love her to pieces...if I could find a home where she would be the only cat or just one other, I might give her up...Yeah, right. :-D
