Story of Yoko
Sep 5^th, 2005 at 12:32pm

The last few days have been really wild and a bit heart breaking. My neighbor Karl and I found an abondoned cat in front of our house. She was a sweet and beautiful tabi who would cuddle and kiss anyone who picked her up. Karl fell in love with her and so did I. I named her Yoko after a character in a movie. For a week we fed her and Karl kept her in his apartment at night to keep her safe. She would sleep with him and be so quite and sweet. Saturday Karl asked the landlord if he could keep her, that evil man said "No, I'll evict you if you keep that filthy moggie!" With some help from a friend I found a rescue shelter and the lady came yesterday and picked up Yoko. I cried into Karls shoulder as Yoko was taken away,but we do know she will have a good home and not be put down. Here's a picture of the little angel. Doing the right thing hurts somtimes Cry

My husband worked in a shelter for almost 3 years and we both volunteered there. If it helps any, I can pretty much guarantee that a cat that pretty and with such a sweet temperment will be adopted quickly and not have to live its life in a cage. hugs

I'm glad you and Karl had the courage to do the right thing, the hard thing. It is awesome you'll still know how she is doing. Doing that right thing lead to a wonderful person who can take care of her the way she deserves. Ahh, the universe can be a wonderful place.

Update on Yoko:

I got a call from the caregiver. Yoko is being taken in to see if she has a mirco chip today. Also I sent a photo to my nieghborhood shelter and I put up pictures of her around the neighborhood. The caregiver and I am going to wait a week and then of no one claimes her, she will get shots, spayed and mirco chiped and put up for adoption.

Wish us luck!

Yoko update part 2

Well I put found notices around the nieghborhood but no one ever called. Undecided

I rang the AVA lady and we had a really nice conversation. Yoko is doing really well and is getting along with her troupe of cats and dogs. Yoko was scanned for a micro chip and was found not to have one. She got her shots and next week she will be spayed. I miss her very much Cry

Its so nice that you're able to check in on her. This is the time to start telling co-workers, friends and family members about how wonderful she is, and how much you miss her. Maybe even carry a picture of her with you. My husband and I have a few fosters scattered around that we still get to see due to these effective conversations. Sometimes you'll find someone that was just thinking they might like a cat, and you can save them alot of hassle by already having a good tempered cat for them to visit with.
