I am exhausted but wanted to let you all know that I just returned from picking up Jordan. I am worried about her, all the ride home (2 hours) she laid in the carrier with the door open, not moving an inch. Her eyes were wide open staring at what, I have no idea. She didn’t flinch when I talked to her, called to her or touched her.
I received the call earlier tonight that it was time to go and get her. I wish I had followed my instinct and gotten her earlier. If she doesn’t snap out of it, we are going to the vet to see what is up with her. She is not the same cat I dropped off two months ago. Even moving her to my comfort station, she barely moved. I left her with a heated cat bed, food water and wrapped up the cage with blankets to keep things quiet for her. I hope she eats by morning.
I pray that she pulls out of it. Makes me wonder, “what on earth happened at this house?!” This is her second attempt at a home, correct? Keep us posted please.
what could have tormented this poor kitty so much, is her place haunted? poor kitty, I am praying for her
Poor baby girl! Thankful you picked her up. No telling what has happened to her. Just love on her. Praying she will come around.
I don’t believe she was tormented. The woman who had her had nothing but love in her home and heart. I think there was some sort of a trigger there- whether it be a sound, a smell? Jordan just couldn’t relax. It happens, it isn’t anyone’s fault. I tell everyone who adopts from me that these cats carry so much baggage with them and they just need time to sort it out.
I heard her crying all night. Went out to visit her several times, her temp was up to 104.5 and I ended up in an all-night vigil with her. Her temp is normal this morning. God Bless rubbing alcohol! I made a decision this morning to take her out of the cage and put her in the bedroom with Goofy. I am sitting here my ears on alert, but I don’t hear any confrontation.
Jordan doesn’t need to be a cage right now. She needs to be in a room where she can wander at will, hide when she has to and feel comfortable enough to come out and see us. Unfortunately all my rooms have cats in them so Gus was elected to be the welcoming committee.
Who knows, maybe the two of them will be good for each other? Cats can usually sort it out better than most people.
Nothing happened to Jordan “in this house” other than an attempt to love her. She was not tormented or mistreated, and there is only concern for her welfare and sadness over it not working out. I feel the right person and right home is out there for her and she will be placed in a forever home. Thank you MaryAnn.
I remember and had to go back and check, that Jordan had been good with new babies that you had got. Seems to me maybe that is her life calling to be the gentle “nanny” to teach them to be loved and give love in return. Jordan setting high social standards to her “fosters”
The poor cat. That would have been a wonderful home for her under other circumstances. Does the lady who wanted her want another? It seems as though she was going to great lengths to make Jordan feel at home. I’m sure there is another deserving cat (aren’t they all?) in your care who would profit from being in hers, too.
Something definitely freaked that kittie out, and you may never know what it was. We just hope Jordan recovers, and finally finds a furrrever home.
We feel kind of sad for the beans, though. They really tried to give Jordan a home.
