I picked up Muggles this morning from the vet and within an hour of being here- alone in a room with little distractions, she had worked herself up into a high fever. I called the vet back because right before I took Muggles home, one of the vet techs confessed that she had really fallen in love with Muggles while taking care of her. I took Mugs back to the vet and the tech will take her home tonight.
I have to think that the barking, yappy puppy Juno is part of the stress problem. We have only had her a month but she has high separation anxiety and goes nuts when we put her into her open pen in the living room- even if we are just sitting in the room with her- she just goes ballistic. She also barks loudly when she has to go outside and potty which I am grateful for, but it is really noisy.
So Mugs will be in a home where she will be loved and looked after and I couldn’t be more pleased with this result. I will miss her as she was a loving kitty that just wanted to snuggle all the time, but this place is not a good place for cats to grow old in. It’s just not there are medical machines, wheelchair to watch out for and then the lift chair as well- I wish Mugs the best-
How wonderful! Wishing Muggles a long, happy life with her special person!
I’m so happy for Muggles!
I am sure the vet tech was able to spend some time with her, getting to know each other while she stayed at the vets. I think that will make the transfer to a new home more acceptable for Mugs. Thank you vet tech for loving Mugs and giving her a great new forever home. Also thanks to Mary Anne and the vet for caring for her and most important thank God for telling the vet to wait, give Muggle a chance.
I’m glad that Muggles will have a loving, permanent home, but I think your own home is wonderful for cats to grow old in. It may not be for Muggles, but any number of cats – and dogs – are grateful to be with you and Mike. Some foster-cats are meant to move on, some are meant to stay. No matter which, though, they are lucky to have come to you.
