Sweet Kitty Needs a Home of Her Own

[kj5kb]

This is Flower...aka Fleur.

I found her in Dec 07 near downtown Cleveland...a friendly but skinny, dirty, stinky, stray.

The lady that had been feeding her was planning to move soon, and when the cat jumped into the trunk of my car, I figured she needed to come home with me.

Well, it's been a year now, she's now a much cleaner, fluffy well-fed puddy tat. Super friendly, loves to sit on your lap or sleep with you.

...but she does not get along with the other two cats. She doesn't like either of them, and one of them does not like her...so we have daily hissy-fits and she hides in the basement.

She really needs a home with NO other cats...and I suspect no dogs either, tho I can't be sure. She's been spayed and front-declawed.

I think she would be OK in an apartment; she doesn't seem to need much space, tho she does show an occasional interest in sneaking outside.

that's the prob We tried isolating her upstairs with her own litterbox; that lasted about 3 months and was a pain...

She's a real sweetie...changed my mind about having longhair cats, too.

Every longhair cat I'd previously met was a spoilt brat, not this one...

gotta love that mug shot pic!

Her eyes are really yellow-green...hard to get that in the pix....

That is awful, I just had to give my beautiful boy (who looked just like that with short hair) to new owners, who will not keep in touch, seeing that angel reminds me very much of mine.
Good luck finding her a place...

just for laughs, here's some pix from the first week we brought her home (skinny little rat)

Yes, we've fed her since then

last one is after a few weeks, needing a good brushing...

I bet they will take good care of your boy. I've never had to give one up; I'm usually the guy who takes them.

she is beautiful!! Good luck in finding her a home. Have you tried Craigslist?

(I blame Hooked for my newfound addiction to craigslist!)

I have thought about it many times.

I am a bit concerned about listing a free cat on craigslist...as to who might show up!....they say NO pets on the free listings too...

Great for getting rid of 'stuff' tho...and made some more fish geek friends there too.

have you tryied to just let them deal with their problems on their own?

i have a 14yr old one that hates my little siamese lynx point, but its just a "mommy she touching me" kinda thing
they really do get along just don't sleep or play together,..
the little one kinda sneeks up on her just to hear her scream, then they are fine,...lol

Yep, pretty much...there are no doors between them...except at mealtime. Flower does come up the stairs and hang out, but runs back down when the others get in her face. George just wants to be friends with her, but she hisses and runs away. "Little cat", (who is actually 12 now and still small), does NOT like Flower and chases her away every time she sees her.

It IS better than it was a year ago...but it's not fair to Flower. I think she'd be a GREAT only cat. I wish I knew how she would be around a dog....might be OK around a larger mellow dog, but I don't know.

I think she must had had some bad experiences with cats when she was living rough.
