He will leave Weds afternoon and his new home is in Canby by Portland. The woman who initially called me about him (not the woman who tried to prevent me from rescuing him) has a boyfriend who is interested in adopting Toby. There are no other pets in the home and no future plans to get any. This morning I took him back to the vet (he is so scared of vets) 🙁 I got him chipped vaccinated and evaluated and they said his ears look great, his tail is all cleared up and he is good to go. I got him chipped because I don’t ever want him to be found in the middle of a field again trying to survive. He is a very special boy-
Speaking of his tail, the end of his tail is a hook, not a fork just adds to his uniqueness. He was so glad to get home and back to the place he is comfortable with- I decided to give Dawn the harp of hope CD that she can play on the drive to Canby to keep him less stressed. I will be sad to see him go- but so happy that someone loves him enough to get him out of Dodge fairly quickly. As much as I was falling in love with him, I never think it is fair for cats to have to live here very long. It’s just not the better life for them.
well to you it may not be better but for them it is wonderful, they have a warm place to rest, a safe place to sleep, they know they will have food and water and will know that at least one human loves them.. but YAY a forever home for Toby, congrats Toby enjoy your new life and for ever love by your very own human!
Good for Toby. Though he likes it with you – safety, warmth, clean food and water, and love; what cat wouldn’t? – it’s good that he is being adopted swiftly, so he won’t get used to your place, just to be moved later. What a stroke of luck for him, to have his life turned around in just a few days.
Toby is very lucky to have you and Dawn in his otherwise dismal life. I’m sure if things did not sit well with Dawn and new adoptees, she would not leave Toby. He deserves all the best life has to offer.
I am not worried about her leaving him. I am worried if he happens to get out of the house and get lost or separated from them at some point. He has spent far too much time dealing with the harshness of living outside. I just want to give him a safety net and her too-
