I give the family a lot of credit for working with them, but over time they came to the conclusion that their home wasn't the best home for him and reached out to me for help. After some discussion, I offered to take him back here with me and work on finding him a new home. The rescue who took in Suri agreed to take him if we could figure out what his issue was, which was a load off my shoulders because I simply do not have it in me to handle the adoption process.
I brought him home and set him up in the bathroom of the kitten room. He was a little uncomfortable, choosing to spend most of his time in the carrier, but he was happy to see me and would purr and wanted to be a lap kitty but wasn't sure if I was okay with that so he would lay down next to me with his paws on my leg.. See, Kreb is a VERY big kitty, weighing over 20 lbs.
I do not know what his issues were with his last house. I have some speculations but that doesn't make them true. All I do know is that he is always on alert when the kittens would make noise. He was also reluctant to eat when I wasn't around. It made for a rough couple of days for both of us, but he is eating pretty well now and since he has used the litter box for his duty, he has graduated into a bigger room and so far has been very good in there. I have given him a few soft surfaces (towels etc) to give him a chance to show me that he has bigger issues than the stress of his old home (whatever that was) and so far *knockwood*
So he needs a home too. While he might adjust to something different, I think the easiest transition for him would be a nice quiet home with adults only (or introverted older kids) and being the only pet.
I am probably going to give him another week or two here to be sure that nothing pops up, but we don't have a single complaint about him - well except that he is a bit of a dry food addict.. 😸
Hello again Kreb. I sure hope you find a new home soon.
ReplyDeletepoor guy, I'm sure you can get him off dry food :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kreb ! We hope you find a good forever home very soon. Purrs
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad he had a safe place to land
ReplyDeletedood....ewe haz grown inta one handsum kitteh !!!! de best oh fishez two ewe that ya find that eye deel for everz ~~~~☺☺☺♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteHe's such a handsome man cat! It sounds as though any issues are most likely behind him. The kitties send their purrs he finds his furever home (with no other kitties) soon.
ReplyDeleteThe family tried hard; you've got to give them that, and they called the rescue instead of doing something stupid, so that's good too. What's best for the cat! Glad Kreb has nicely decompressed at your place; here's hoping his 2nd furrever home is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteKreb is very handsome and we hope he can find his purrfect home.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a home is just really, really wrong for a kitty. And Kreb may be more sensitive to certain things at his old home than a lot of other cats would be. I'm glad his old family gave him back to rehome - that does not always happen. Even with pedigreed cats.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Kreb's previous family did not work out. I hope he finds his purrfect home where it's quiet with very little stress. I am glad he is safe with you. I applaud his family for reaching out to you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that so many people (including his first family) were willing to work to give him a second chance ! Purrayers for a happy ending !
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Kreb found his way back to you when his previous situation didn't work out. I wish him a happy future!
ReplyDeleteHello again, Kreb! Even though your first home was not the right fit for you, we are glad you are there with Mom Jeanne, so that you can get ready to find your true happily ever after.
ReplyDeleteHe sure is a handsome fellow and we know you will get a home soon
ReplyDeleteI hope Kreb finds a new home soon
