I absolutely hate to write this post being an animal lover and rescuer, it truly hurts my heart. Brians dad left behind 2 cats which became his entire life after His Mom passed 4 years ago. One male, one female, both fixed and up to date on all shots. They were his babies. Naturally I figured if anything would happen to either one of them, we would just adopt them. However in addition to our existing 2 cats at home we have a 2 year old German shepherd who makes it her life mission to chase and aggravate my cats. I love them all but It’s taken about 2 years to have my cats tolerate her and it’s still a circus most days. So I don’t know what to do. Tigger is an orange cat that’s outgoing, full of personality and very friendly so I feel like he would blend in ok with our bunch eventually and he could probably handle the move to our house, but his sister, Chloe is a beautiful calico, but she has anxiety issues since Papa passed. She’s used to a quiet house and Papa. She’s so traumatized since he passed that she was literally hiding under the bed when we came over. Once the bed was gone she hid in a cabinet. She’s just so confused and it breaks my heart to even bring her into my house with all of the chaos. She will be terrified even more. I would definitely bring her home but I don’t want to see her live her life under my bed and terrified of the dog and her craziness.
I’d love for her to find a place with someone patient, fairly quiet, maybe no young kids that she would be able to gain that trust again. (After 6 weeks I do have her coming out to see me and we can pet her and I’m sure things will get better with time and trust) but she’s basically living in an empty house with her brother right now. I just don’t know what to do, I truly don’t think my house is the right environment for her, But I absolutely refuse to give her to an animal shelter to live in a cage (or worse) or some stranger where I couldn’t check in with them. If anyone knows of someone looking for a pet or is willing to open up their home to her, (even on a trial basis)please send me a message. I would be willing to chip in for her care, or even arrange or bring her or send her to wherever you live if not local. I’m even debating if someone wanted both cats so they’re not separated I would be OK with that too. I’m just trying to figure out the best thing to do for her and the right thing to do by my father-in-law. I’m attaching some pictures. If anyone is able to help, please message me.
