Well, I went to Petco to look at fish & there was a cat rescue there. They had kittens & 3 adult cats. Well they were giving away the adults because they had no more room & were euthanizing 3 on Monday. Well my mom couldn't risk them being killed, so we took one. I'd like to introduce Oscar, the black & white kitty! This is #14 for us...

What a nice thing your mom did. You have 14 cats?

crazedACD

Awww he's a cutie! Glad he got adopted .

I tried to adopt a 13 year old deaf cat from Petsmart a few years back, they said we had too many pets (6 dogs and 2 cats, all vaccinated, fixed etc). I knew someone that volunteered there and heard that the poor thing was euthanized by the agency, oy.

Amanda

Yep, I have 14 cats.

DRock914

Wow thats a lot of cats. I would be tripping over them all day lol.

Amanda

It's spread out over 4 floors, so it's not bad.

DRock914

14 floors You either own an apartment building or have an extremely large house lol. Either way that makes sense for that many cats lol.

Going to start calling Amanda the cat lady. lol
Congrats on a great rescue! Oscar does NOT lokk happy to have his pic taken. lol
He's adorable.

Amanda

We have 5 litter pans over the whole house, and he wasn't too happy for pics! lol
He's also partially blind in one eye, so the flash may bother him. Oh and btw, I forgot to mention he's only a year old.

CHoffman

What a cutie pie!! I love his mittens!.

Exact same experience with humane society. Infuriates me! Clearly if you come with proof of vet papers on vaccinations, spaying, etc., then you're a better candidate than euthanasia. This is why we're going to foster.

I thought so too...I've worked at vet clinics, fostered for a dog rescue, have all great references-they didn't even want to come do a home check. Sigh, waste of a life. There are some GREAT rescues and animal shelters but some are really full of themselves.

I'm so glad you rescued Oscar. He's very cute and I'm sure he'll have a great home with you.

Aw, what a cute kitty. I thought I had my hands full with 2 cats but 14?
Do any of your cats go after your fish? I personally feel like I'm constantly picking cats off the tank lid and pulling them away from the tanks lol

Amanda

Nope, none of my cats bother my fish.
My one cat Scorpio, drinks out of my 20 gal., but that's about it. lol

DRock914

Do you have a Christmas tree up in your house? And do any of the cats attack it. I can't keep one cat out of our tree, I can only imagine 14 all attacking it.

abc123d30

You're lucky none of your cats attack your fish, I have to lock the cats in the other room when I'm doing water changes lol

Amanda

We had one incident about 14 years ago when my then kitten (now 15 year old) cat climbed the tree & kncked it down. It was a 10 ft. tall tree too. But aside from a couple broken ornamants, it was okay. And she never did it again. We have a fake tree now, when we used to have a live one, all the cats would do was drink the water from the tree holder.
