I won’t post picture yet because still to meet Beast but I’m so excited! He’s absolutely beautiful. Had a poorly start so may be a while to adopt - even if he likes us. Cross fingers for me!!

Oo how exciting!

He’s absolutely beautiful. Fosterer is amazing . I would go into ‘lockdown mode’ with a very poorly kitten and just try and feed, toilet and cuddle but she’s ensured he’s a bonkers, playful Beast! Fingers, toes etc crossed!

Ooh exciting! Good luck with the all important first meeting, hopefully he will take to you right away.

I really hope he's the one for you.

Good luck!

Aww I'm secretly hoping Beast is jet black and has tufted ears .

Lets hope you pass the tests

Just take a toy with you and you will get extra points!

so happy! He’s absolutely gorgeous, playful AND cuddly!!! He came to me immediately and started bouncing around on my lap and climbed up to my shoulder! However, not counting chickens because he’s had a poorly start (not that you’d know it!) and has to be assessed - yet again. Fingers and paws crossed!!! I’m so amazed at the Fosterer - they give so much of themselves and happily hand over Beast as long as they’re assured proposed adopters are kosher and have passed all checks. X

Is he a baby Beast or a teenage Beast? That sounds like a great first meeting.

Pre-teen?! In lurvve already so everything crossed for vets appointment!

Lovely fosterer can’t release kitten yet - because Vet can’t confirm all good re poorliness (sic). Fingers crossed and lovely fosterer has said we can still visit! X

What the fuck is wrong with me! So excited about possible new cat but can’t stop crying about BastardCat who died, suddenly in March. New, possible rescue cat could not be a better fit; he climbed up me and get loads of cuddles! I lurvve him already but can’t stop crying re BastardCat I’ve had cats before; my childhood girl who gave up life on my lap.

Ignore. I should be grateful new beast on the horizon!

Nothing wrong with a bit of grieving for BastardCat. The potential new kitty may fill the cat shaped hole in your household, but will never replace him as such, and thinking about the new one will inevitably remind you of the one you miss so much.

So be grateful for the new beast yes, but he will be making his own place in your heart not taking BastardCat's place. He was obviously your "special" cat, everybody ends up with the one they bond with even more than the others but it doesn't stop you from loving the sucessors.

Aww I felt the same when I got a new guinea-pig/s
i felt really disloyal to the one that had died but I was getting a new one for the benefit of the remaining oiggie .Not to "replace"
And once I realised they needed me , scared little mammal blossoms and gladdens the heart .

Then two weeks down the line they morphed into Judgey Little Ratbags who acted like they were doing me a favour living with me
Cats otoh just take over !

Nothing wrong with still being sad about BastardCat. You can still love Beast when he arrives (and he does sound adorable).

Still waiting for possible new cat. Absolute mad beast and you wouldn’t ever think he had a poorly start due to unethical breeder and idiot buyer. The charity are incredible; even if everything falls through, contact will be maintained and I’ll try and help in anyway I can. I’d love to offer my services as fosterer and have the room however, I know my disability is getting worse. MrCat wfh and I’m haven’t been able to work for a while so at if prospect cat comes through, would have 24 hour company!

Fingers crossed!

And there I go - crying after BastardCat! New beast is completely different - bouncy like Tigger but really purry, curious and cuddly. I’m in lurvve but keep feeling it’s wrong. Every other word out of my mouth to fosterer is BastardCat did this at that time, ate this food, liked this kick toy etc. Fact that poorly cat is taking so long to be released is probably a good thing.

Thank you @Toddlerteaplease . Having a bit of guilt fest. New beast is absolutely perfect and don’t know what’s wrong with me!

Sorry! Thanks for all lovely messages from @Ellmau, @Allergictoironing, @70isaLimitNotaTarget too

It's normal. I was like that a bit when Maia died and I got Cheddar.

Poorly cat still poorly - although he’s completely unaware of the fact and bouncing around like the maddest, most bounciest thing. Rescue are lovely - I couldn’t liaise with the f*ckwits that buy kittens off shite sites for £1,000s then claim they can’t afford the most basic vet checks, vaccinations, neutering etc. without ending up with a police record [why am I turning Baron Greenback shade of green? . . . Why is my dressing gown ripping apart at the seams?] I’m feeling a bit . . . HULK!!!! Grrrr

Oh, poor Beast. I hope they can get him better?

You wouldn’t know cat is poorly! He’s beyond bonkers playful! However, Rescue won’t release him for adoption unless underlying condition is confirmed; even if we accept risk that he can’t be insured. They’re an an amazing, ethical organisation!
