Shadow's been here about 10 days now. She's another return sadly :( , she was originally with another fosterer and was rehomed in October, but has been returned basically because she didnt live up to expectations >:( Apparently she was getting more and more withdrawn, wouldnt interact, wouldnt play and wouldnt go outside. We were told that she was a cat with more problems than they could deal with >:(
Little Shadow is an adorable, cheeky little cat, who stands up on her back legs to give a gentle headbut, then flops over to have her tummy tickled :Luv: She plays madly with a feather toy and is nothing like the description we've been given (nor was she like that when she went out to her new home >:( ) So what happened in between to make her so withdrawn then?
-
Oh, and which picture for the website? I like the one where she's sitting up (she was just about to do a mad dash around the pen lol!)
-
I like the first pic Gillian. She is very beautiful :Luv: Very much hope she can recover her cheeky, head butty self :(
-
I like the pic where she is sat up too :wow: shes very pretty....i cant understand what the people were on about..were they expecting her to be a dog or something :Crazy:
cats are cats....not bloomin circus performers (mind you our Georgia and Miyagi think they are :evillaugh:) mo thankfully is more gentile :innocent:

She already has Rosella, almost as soon as she'd got in the cattery pen, she's a happy little cat here, but we were told she was withdrawn in her new home. She is certainly far from withdrawn and is acting completely normally. I can't equate the description they gave us with this normal, playful little cat I have here.
-
So sad she is back and I also like the picture where she is starting to sit up.
I am sure that home must not have understood cats very well...............not lived up to expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
She's lovely :Luv: So sad for her that she's lost out on a home because she didn't tick all their boxes :tired: Sounds like it wasn't the right home for her anyway as the cat they describe sounds a pretty unhappy one. Fingers crossed she won't be waiting long for her forever home :hug:
-
What a beauty! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Sad she is back, but hopefully a more understand owner is just round the corner for her.
-
Aw she's a perfect little princess. I wonder what their expectations were if even a little cutie like Shadow can't match up?
Maybe they forgot that you need to actually love a cat to get it to love you back. :(
-
I think i'm on my own here, but I like the bottom 2 pics!
Did they have kids or other animals?! Hope she finds the right home soon :hug:
-
Definitely sounds like the home wasn't right for her. :(
I don't think it matters which pic you use because she looks gorgeous in all of them. My favourite is the bottom one where she has her head on upside down but I'd probably stick with the sitting up one for the web site.

I reckon you could show her a good time, Stuart :evillaugh: :sneaky:
You ready yet? :shify: :Luv2: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
what a gorgeous girlie :Luv2:. Hope she doesn't have to wait long for someone who really appreciates her
-
I don't think you should use any of the photos of her.
I reckon she was sent to you for a reason. I'm sure Lacie sent her back to you - from pure white to pure black ;)
She is extremely photogenic and would fit in well in your posts on Purrs Gillian. ;) :Luv2: :hug:

Nice try :naughty: ;)

I like 1 and 3, Gillian. She looks all too playful in 2 and a bit :Crazy: in 4.
However, I'd take her in a moment if you posted all 4 as a montarjjjj (sp?) :hug:

good valid point there :shify:
;D
Cant understand where the 'returners' are coming from? You get out what you put in :shy:.....on the other side if you overwhelm her and constantly in their face, shes going to feel unsettled and become withdrawn. People forget that unlike dogs, cats dont need/pine constant attention or fussing.
Clearly Shadow is fine figure of cat and the fault lies with the humans :Luv: :Luv:
-
Also..... pictures 2 & 4 for me ;D
-
Nice try :naughty: ;)

I've only just started :evillaugh:
With her being black, she would be so easy to spot amongst your lot and she would be another moggie freind for Harry to cuddle up to. Ginger and black go nice together. See pic of my late Smudge with her ginger friend Thomas who used to pop in now and again to see him.

Gillian, what a pretty little girl she is :Luv: :Luv:

have you made room for Shadow among your lot yet? :naughty: ;) :Luv2: :hug:
I'm sure Harry would like her as a valentine present on the 14th :naughty: :Luv2: :hug:

No, but there may be something in black on the cards........ ;)
Harry doesnt like moggies lol! I think he thinks he is a persian :evillaugh:
