You could foster her until space opens up or she could be re-homed.
@jeanne-mayell Sweet Soka... highly intelligent, intent on understanding her humans, a total love bug... yet still sending out a warning by howling with her "pack" (the ambulance sound). Bursting with life and love.
@polarberry I have always found that when a "stray" gets "dropped in my lap" that Creator/ The Universe sent them to me. They healed me as much as I helped them. You say she is your dream dog? I say Creator sent her to you just when you needed her most... regardless of the circumstances.... it's always in Divine Right Timing.... somehow you will make room and everyone will adjust.... she is already a part of the family. She knows she is there for you.
Yes, if I were to go to a Build-A-Dog workshop and Young Frankenstein myself a dog, it would be her, both looks & personality. We have other dogs & I love them all dearly, but the timing of this *sigh*
It's a lot of time & work to safely & properly integrate a dog into the pack. I feel like God is really piling on right now 🤨
@polarberry I feel it is what you need though.... and in the doing and healing you are doing and healing for yourself as well. Sending you much Light and Love... you have got this... it won't be without it's bumps along the way... but totally a worthy and rewarding Journey..... You two have "heart connections" had to come back and Edit... Just heard Cyndi Lauper singing "Time After Time"
@jewels-2 Yes!! One of my felines is a bottle raised feral kitten that is now 14 years old. I always called her my rapid cycling bipolar cat (she also has epilepsy and thunder storm phobia) I use the Multi-Cat formula... the one that releases the mother cat pheromone that she releases when nursing kittens to help quell aggression... it really helps keep her on a more even keel and less reactive to the other cats in the house. Well worth the $18.00 a month I pay (on auto-ship on Amazon)
Thank you! I did not know the Multi-Cat formula has mother-cat pheronome, which is perfect since I am bottle-feeding five orphaned kittens. It’s a lot of work and I’ve only done it once before with one kitten. Does anyone have a read on how they are doing? There is a rescue nursery in town just for young kittens, and I’m tempted to turn them over so their care is ideal. But they are so cute!
Hmm, I’m not able to attach a photo. Says the image size is too large. Anyone know a way around this?
@ana Good point! Maybe I will take the kittens there for a look, and if all seems good to them then I forge ahead. Thank you!
Anyone pick up on this little feral boy? He has had a hurt leg ever since I started seeing him in March...he only comes by periodically to eat out of the compost pile and deer chow. If I am at home and see him I take cat food out to him. I am hoping to TNVR him and see if we can do something with that injured leg. I feel like he may have been tossed from a moving car.... or... injured in cat fight or hit by a car. I am finally getting him to trust me a bit more.
@jewels-2 Yes feeding an entire litter every 2 hours then stimulating each baby to urinate and defecate really keeps you hopping!
I'd say go check out the rescue ... especially if they have various ages there ... socialization from moms/other cats is so vital for kittens up to age 12 weeks!!! However ... if they are just going to put with another foster home and you are enjoying caring for them ... please continue!
