As most of you know, I am nearly 6 months pregnant with my husband and my's first child. As excited as we both are, I have come to the realization that it is now time for me to part ways and do what's best for the ones I love and must now find a home for my beloved pet and child, Cherokee.
She is a great indoor cat and I love her dearly. The thought of parting with her just tears at my heart but I've come to realize that I can't put it off any longer. She's very people oriented and thus wants to be loved on and played with much more than your usually taciturn cat and with a new baby, what little time I have for her shall be gone and I fear she will feel abandoned.
I have tried everything I could think of to prevent this inevitable solution, including adding her to my work employees where she has lived happily. However with the situation here tenuous at best, I fear that if and when the ship sinks I will be left jobless and no happy home for Cherokee. She deserves so much more than that and the thought of a rescue center or the S.P.C.A. just chokes me up.
So with that being said, my little purring machine is free, to a good and loving home only. (Dogs not apply.) She is spayed, up to date on all her shots (has 3 year rabies shot), sweet and mild tempered, and just wants someone to love and pet her.
And yes, she has some of the softest fur you have ever touched!
I wish I could keep her but hubby is allergic, baby could be, and we have too small of a space for all of us. She will really have a hard time dealing with the new baby as it will leave no time for me to spend with her and she is very needy in that aspect. She is very people oriented and needs more interaction than your average prissy cat.
She's currently at the office due to allergen and kitty litter (as I can't change it in my current state) and is happy enough here but I can't help but feel that it's not enough. Plus with work being the way it is, I truly fear that if I ignore the situation any longer I maybe hurting her even more.
It's one of those times where I have to make the best decision for her, not me, and do what's right for her. I can't be selfish.
You may be pleasantly suprised as to how well animals adapt to infants. They may end up being more protective of the child than you.(he he he) Really though. But if push comes to shove...... How well does she get along with other cats, or do we know? And how old is she?
