Since my fam's been blue from the recent loss of our cat Levi, and cat and dog Max and Mei last year, we decided to foster an older cat.

Parents' friend is managing the house of some people who are visiting the mainland long-term. Part of the rental agreement was for the renters here to take care of the owner's cat and dog. So there is lot of interaction with the dog, but the poor cat basically just hides all the time.

So manager asked owners if they rather us take care of the cat, and they agreed.

So far all the cat feels ok with is sleeping under a bed with periodic inspecting the house.

I'm psyched if she warms up to us, I like cats a lot.

Awww how sweet of you to take the cat! I bet she does warm up to you because you love animals so much. Keep us posted on the progress.

Cat is named Crystal. At first I thought she didn't meow, only yowl like her toenails are being pulled out... she does meow, it's mixed with a small yowl, but she does it for my mom. She yowls and hisses at me, but she warmed up to my mom, I think it'll take some time but she'll be ok with me and my dad.

Her tail is short, either mutation or it got cut/run over. There's a big hook of claw or something at the end of her tail, hidden by the fur.

She's an older cat, but her eyes are a clear, beautiful yellow, her fur is soft, mostly white with some small patches of i guess calico, there's hardly any orange at all. Some patches of black, like her tail.

I hope she starts to chill, I don't like this yowling all the time, lol.

That is so nice and dogs and cats are so obviously grateful usually. I have two indoor cats, Mia and Ollie, and feed two strays, Sergeant and Tail. Sergeant is supposed to be owned by a neighbor drug addicts former wife, they made him, a russian blue (all grey), and a real sweetheart very docile, and another tabby (my ollie) stay outside. Ollie is small and didn't do well outside at all and she's lived indoors with me for several years. Sergeant comes daily for food and comes inside when there's bad rain storms and stuff, goes in my son's room, and I think he's getting too old for the heat and risks of staying outdoors.. recently his right ear is all swollen and hot so I googled and it's a hematoma. Kept him inside Friday nite and took him to vet yesterday who said ear mite infection both ears, gave him medicine, etc. Had them run chip, was neighbor's ex-wife but couldn't locate her. I was told if I want to make him indoor cat need to have him checked for parasites and feline leukemia. I want to move some day and hate to think no one would feed him and other cat. Also a tuxedo (Tail) comes around a little less often and would be much harder to take to vet and only comes early in AM or after 6pm when everything is closed. He looks like someone else feeds him too but I dont know where he's from. There was one other tuxedo also (Tip) with a tipped tail and damaged eyes. Unfortunately he must've passed, we don't see him long time. He was also another neighbor's who made him stay out, they had found him on a rainy day in the middle of a road. I'm sad we didn't save him because he should not have been made to stay outside with damaged eyes, he also would limp a lot. Unfortunately vets are very expensive so many pets suffer because owner's can't afford it. They wanted to include a rabies shot yesterday but I asked them to take it off to lower the bill.

How is the cat doing? Has she calmed down and warmed up to you yet? Hope so. Maybe she'll become a "foster fail."

Very cool of you to take her in! Both my cats are manx so, very short tail or no tail at all. I hope she warms up to you!!

Sorry for your loss, Lokey, but you are an everyday hero, don't forget.

So Crystal has got to the point where she is uber cuddly with my mom and yowls and hisses at me at a lesser frequency. I think that there has been progress, lol. She has gone from only upstairs in my mom's room to being downstairs if my mom is there, and pokes her nose in my dad's study and my room and the jack and jill bathroom. My dad will say, 'hi crystal' when he sees her, and I do that too, along with a scratch on the head if she is relaxed and/or sitting with my mom. I am thinking she is partially deaf too.

Man, this cat is bitchy, lol.

I have a 19 year old cat that I found in a garage that had been born and then something happened to the mother. She was so cold that I had to put her in my shirt to warm her and bottle feed her. She is senile and I know I probably won't have her much longer and it's hard to imagine life without her. Thank you for taking care of the cat. I hope she warms up to you.
