This is kind of a long story but it welcomes 2 new members of the family. b,121b,121b,121b,121Our previous neighbors abandoned three young sibling cats at the end of July.b,121b,121My other neighbor, Tricia, and I began feeding and looking for homes for them. b,121b,121There were 2 calicos girls, LuLu and Lalab,121and a Boy, Jack.b,121b,121We noticed a wound on the littlest one Lala a couple weeks after we started watching them. b,121Tricia took her to the Vet and my Dad agreed to foster her for a week at his house.b,121Lala already kind of had a potential home set up even before her accident, after she healed I brought her back to my house, reunited her with Jack and LuLu and waited for the lady to come get her.b,121b,121She didn't last more than a few hours before she escaped the crazy ladies realm. b,121b,121The lady had a toddler and a new kitten. Lalas escape was totally preventable imo, but I think the lady bit off more than she could chew.b,121b,121Anyways, The lady didn't want me to know she was lost and waited three days to tell me. I think I easily could have found her soon after she went missing but whatever. I went back to the house we left her at and called for her several times. Donuts. b,121b,121 I posted on CL and checked periodically over the next month. Checked Humane Society and Animal Shelter sites...Nada. We had put SO much energy and $$ into saving this cat and finding her a home. The lady that lost her was a total goof. I felt so bad. b,121b,121b,121By this time we had already decided to keep Jack and LuLu, especially after losing Lala. The raccoons were going after their food outside so we began feeding them indoors. That was that. b,121b,121I continued to check CL but less and less.b,121Last week after not checking in at least 10 days I just happened to find an ad fitting her description and just 4 blocks from where she went missing. b,121b,121I had a good feeling. I emailed a picture and waited to hear back. b,121Sure enough, it was her. She is so damn cute and even though she was missing for 5 weeks appeared to be well taken care of and pretty much ok. b,121b,121We picked her up Tuesday night and took her to a new foster home while my neighbor considers keeping her, either way she has another second chance and is a very lucky cat. I was pretty bummed when she went missing but figured I did all I could. I think my neighbor was a bit surprised that I hadn't given up on her. b,121b,121Even more crazy is the lady that lost her Emailed us about a possible sighting the same day as the CL findings. b,121b,121This is totally possible and wasn't weird at all b,121but what was strange is that once we picked up Lala and took her to the foster home we got an email a couple days after that b,121from crazy lady saying she had just picked Lala up b,121and was going to keep her and get her acclimated to the new house again.b,121b,121Huh! ok, Unbelievable!b,121b,121I don't know if she was lying or just picked up another cat she thought was her but it was pretty damn funny. Obviously we never told her.b,121b,121b,121Lalab,121a href="http://www.divshare.com/download/5411905-0f4"1img src="http://www.divshare.com/img/midsize/5411905-0f4.jpg" border="0" 21/a1b,121b,121Jackb,121a href="http://www.divshare.com/download/5412034-d39"1img src="http://www.divshare.com/img/midsize/5412034-d39.JPG" border="0" 21/a1b,121b,121Lulu a.k.a LULZ!

I love checkin in on these animal threads but they always bring a drunken tear to my eye. I can't wait to get a place that allows pets.b,121b,121DJAnna, Zoe is beautiful. I'm a little jealous.
