I knew this would eventually happen, especially seeing so many sad cases every week now, working as a volunteer. I asked the other day if i could maybe adopt a kitten (as I said on my other threat) and foster the sister for a while of the one I liked but as i have a young son- despite them knowing I am genuine- they could not break the rules. I totally understand. I sort of knew this was going to come up. But all things happen for a reason...
So I was doing my Saturday hours and chatted to the others there about wanting to adopt a male young cat when one of them instantly said: the little black one. I had not even noticed him at first because there are so many but as soon as I went I could not believe how sweet he is. he instantly cuddled up on my son's lap and is the sweetest thing. But... he has no eye lids... So not only is he all black, he also has this defect which will almost make him impossible to adopt out. So they said I would be ideal for him. This then was confirmed by someone else on Sunday who said they would be so glad if I took him, knowing he would be loved and taken care of. Soooooooooo it's all down to the boss man now agreeing with it.
Am really feeling nervous about it- no idea why- maybe because I would be disappointed if I could not taske him. he will be seen by a vet tomorrow to see what else they can do for his eyes, being only half a year old. I am ready to take him on with treatment needed and all. Have gotten in a good routine with my other ill boy (who will see the vet tomorrow) but despite all efforts he will unfortunately leave us soon. But as long as he seems comfortable and as keen on his food as hew is at the moment, I will persist. Can't quite see him making Christmas though.
So pleaseeeeeeee keep fingers crossed that it will work out. I certainly have all sorts of people all saying yeah because he will not be taken, looking so weird with his eyes. I want to go for total personality. And wanted a black cat and young and male- he has it all.... Kepp fingers and paws and toes and all crossed for us.
