I know this gal won't last long .....

She is so beautiful !!!!

The owner said: "adult female calico named "Joey" declawed, litter trained, gentle, sweet disposition...would do well with older kids/adult, has never been around little kids or babies. has never hurt anyone!!!! moving, to good home please!"

I then asked if Joey got along with dogs and other cats and she said ....

"I have a large dog and no, Joey doesn't get along with her at all, stays under the bed when she is out of her crate. Joey got along with a male cat I had, but not another female which is weird because she grew up with the female cat. She is a loving very gentle cat and think she would do very well with an adult who could give her the attention she loves."

I am sure that someone here would love to snuggle up with Joey. She will be up-to-date on shots and have a negative FIV/FELV test prior to adoption. The fact that she is declawed means she needs to be an indoor-only kitty.

So they are moving and cannot take the cat...are they taking the dog?

I have no clue, however it does sound like the cat would be better off away from the dog. It may not even be "all dogs" - may just be the cat is afraid of just that dog?

I don't try to make sense of why people get rid of critters anymore, My goal is to find them all a (hopefully) forever home in which they will be loved and well-cared for.

:lalala: Wish I could...but:lalala: We already have too many

I do understand LOL :howdy:

Awww, what a beautiful kitty! I had a Calico for 18 years while growing up and she was the sweetest thing ever. Wish I could take her but we have a rescue cat who needs to be the only cat and a really big dog. Hope she finds a home soon.

Most cats do adjust to dogs being around, so I'm not sure why this one has an issue with the dog she has? That's why I said maybe it was just THAT dog that was an issue, you know?

The cat weighed in at the vet today at 16 lbs - wow what a big girl! She had her shots updated by the owner, and I will have the details on those in a few days.

So some of her important features are that she is a young Calico spayed female, is de-clawed, up-to-date on shots, has a microchip, uses her litter box well, and loves to be with people.

Already have a Calico, and a non classified cat that is a PITA, and the dog, Cant take another, however, for those considering, generally speaking, Calico's have a very nice disposition. But, they do tend to shed just a wee bit.

"Folklore

Cats of this coloration are believed to bring good luck in the folklore of many cultures.[14] In the United States, these are sometimes referred to as money cats.[15] The Japanese Maneki Neko figurine is almost always a calico cat."

I'll get some more pictures of this cutie this week. She's soft as can be and very sweet when meeting new people too. She didn't shy from me at all which is awesome.

She had her shots updated as follows:

Rabies, FVRCP, FeLV and she is due for a booster of FVRCP and FeLV on 1/07/2012

She was negative for the following:

Fecal, FELV, FIV, and Heartworm

Adoption fee is $100

You know you'd like having a beautiful kitty sitting in your lap :howdy:.

So far she is very affectionate. She's even prettier in person too.

Hi:

My name is Joey but I'm a girl! I am looking for a home where I can get petted and loved. I need to stay indoors because I am declawed. Here are a few more pictures of me. I'm told that I am a beautiful girl.

I've been staying with a few boy cats lately and we all get along just fine. I'm a little on the chubby side at 16 lbs.

Please help me find a home for the new year.

Joey

awww she's so cute .....

she hopped up on the chair to get closer to say hey - what about ME lol

After re-reading this thread, I realized that I never updated the dog issue information. I later found out the "large" dog Joey had an issue with was a large breed puppy that apparently saw Joey as an object to chase. Hence why Joey hid under the bed. So I have a feeling that Joey would be okay with most dogs. Her personality is not skittish at all.

A lady in my building at work is interested in Joey and is talking her hubby into it - they have 3 cats already and he said: why do we need 4 cats? So she says, so the 4th girl kitty can keep boy kitty #3 from picking at old girl #1 kitty. I bet Joey would do great with a couple of active brothers to play with.

There was another lady at work interested in Joey, but she already has a female kitty. I explained to her that Joey doesn't seem to get along with female kitties, but does well with boy kitties. So that lady is going to consider Foxy to add to her furry household - if these 2 adoptions go through I will be thrilled for both kitties.

Did Joey get a new home?

Did Joey get a new home?

No, not yet. Seems they already had 3 cats and her hubby wasn't up to having 4.

Joey is still looking for a home. We were told she didn't get a long all that well with other female cats, but with Joey being declawed, she can't do more than swat LOL. She seems to get along well with the male cats. Joey loves to be petted, and would be great with kids (big girl at 16 lbs).

Being sincere here:
Have you tried to place her at places like Hospice, Asbury, or other facilities where a declawed cat would love to be with old people?
We placed a cat with a Hospice paient ( Ms. Paulie) here in Calvert thru Hospice, and after the patient died, the cat was then adopted by a resident of Asbury, whos' daughter was one of the Hospice nurses who cared for Ms. Paulie.

But Ms. Paulie did not want to adopt, ( as she was dying) so we told her the cat needed to be worked with to be a lap cat. Ms. Paulie thought this was fine and "fostered" the cat for about 14 months until Ms. Paulie died.
We continued to provide some medical for the cat.

It worked out great!
Something to think about.

For those of you that had a desire to PM me about Joey, but stopped yourself hoping someone else would adopt her ..... Joey is going to an adoptive home this weekend on a trial basis. I think Joey is one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen.

This home has a female cat and a large dog - both are things that the prior owner said Joey had a problem with. Joey has been housed with all male cats for months, and she does fine, so I am hoping her prior disagreements with the female cat in her life was just a personality clash and not that she can't be around another female cat.

As far as the dog part goes, it is my understanding that as long as the dog doesn't chase Joey, she will be fine about a dog being in the house. The dog doesn't chase the current female cat they have. This home WANTS a cat that likes a lot of attention. We'll see how it goes.
