Bringing Home Our 6mo Old Re-Homed Ragdoll Kitten

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

We found out on April 1, 2021 that Aria could be re-homed to us. It wasn’t even an April Fool’s Day joke! She was with a family and was creating a lot of tension in the home, so the family returned her to the breeder (who was a bit at a loss of how to handle this first-time scenario). I saw Aria’s photo online at just the right moment and immediately replied, “I’m interested!”
After having to make the difficult decision to put down our very first cat 2 months prior due to FIP, after only having her for 2 months, Aria was sent to us to help fill the hole Ananda left in my heart. FIP is a fatal condition in cats. While there is an 84-day treatment available, Ananda was just too sick and suffering. I wasn’t expecting the whole experience to have such a deep impact on me.
Aria is so sweet. She settled in right away. Here is Aria’s Gotcha Day and first few days discovering her forever home in the mountains.
Did you know that cats help ward away negative energies? No wonder I’m a cat person and didn’t even know it! In fact, I’ve been allergic to cat and dog saliva for years and the cat allergy went away before we got Ananda.

    Well, if the other family didn't know how to live with a cat, and perhaps demanded/expected the cat to immediately acquiesce to their attentions when and how they wanted, I can see where the human/cat connection just didn't happen.

    We bought a cat from a rag doll cattery nearly 40 years ago. To show us how chill he was, the owner held him upside down, swung him around and tossed him to my husband. He didn’t seem to mind at all. We take him home to be with our other, half Siamese kitty girl, and within a month, he turned into a major jerk. He would regularly kick the stuffing out of our first kitty and then started peeing everywhere. His new home became my parents screened porch.

I wouldn’t recommend a Bengal for a 1st time cat companion: they constantly need intellectual & physical challenges. Raspy is part cat, part puppy, part monkey & bird. If someone wanted a breed that’s puppy-like, I would recommend Ocicat breed. They are the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel of felines. Mine were extremely snuggly & would follow me everywhere. One of my Ocicats was leash trained & loved going on car rides. Whenever we visited a store he would go up to people & ask for snacks & tummy rubs. I

He's the only cat I have that will willingly go into a carrier and he'll beg to be picked up like a human toddler. I also really appreciate that you took in a cat that needed a home versus buying a purebred from a breeder and supporting that trade. I rescue and care for a colony of Community Cats (what some would call "ferals".) Fury came from that colony. He was full of worms and had no fur on his tail. Now he's a gorgeous spoiled kitty and my baby.

Within a couple of months, his belly was getting distended and he stopped jumping when we played with him. He was diagnosed with FIP and had to be put to sleep. We were devastated, especially my daughter. Upon hearing the news, she passed out cold in the vet's office and hit her head on a chair. She had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. The vet would get visibly nervous whenever she accompanied us after that.

    I can't imagine why someone would return such a beautiful cat. I adopted a feral mother and her kitten son 5 years ago and I've often wondered about his heritage. I can tell by his appearance (vs his mother), that his father must have been either Siamese or Ragdoll. Aria has clearly found the perfect home for her.

    We have had a number of cats of the years but now we have three Ragdolls. These cats are quite unique in their temperament and personality. Even though each is an individual,the breed has some amazing common traits. They are devoted to the humans they bond with. The weird thing is their humans are devoted to them as well. I would wish everyone the chance to have a Ragdoll as a companion.

The blessing was that it allowed me to get my second cat - whom I enjoyed the company of for 19 1/2 years! They become such a part of our lives. Losing that beloved cat was SO hard... we added two cats together after he departed. They don't replace: they add new memories with new friends!
