Jetta

Jetta is going to be a challenge. She shows immense distrust to all things human. She is quick to respond aggressively when I am trying to help her. I moved her upstairs this morning when it became clear that being in a room with a bit of traffic was unnerving to her. I have seen cats who dislike carriers, but Jetta takes this dislike to a whole other level. Poor kitty. I have no idea how her past owner even got her into the tiny carrier she came with, because it was such a struggle to get her into my larger one. My top loaders have been loaned out, had they been available this morning, the stress level would have been much lower.

I feel so sorry for Jetta. She has had to put up with situations that no cat should have to endure. I hope as time goes by, she can relax and understand she is in a good place. Mike said she reminds him of the Queen Mother, a calico cat we rescued years back. I just have to work slowly with her and let her acclimate to her new home. She is also not cat-friendly at all. I can understand why the shelters told Janice that this cat is unadoptable. She only trusts one person after a long time and now, that person is gone. Her world is rocked and it will be up to me to steady her. Wish me luck-

    I am sorry to hear that she is not doing well, I figure it would take some time as she really only is use to me, my husband and my son. Don’t ask me how my husband got her in that carrier. I came home early that day, because it usually is a struggle. But, my husband just picked her up and put her in and laughed at me. It is strange that she did really like my husband the most, even though the love was not exchanged. Every so often she would come and sit on his lap. I know she will adjust with time, but I do think it will take a while. I am going to get the vet records today and will get them in the mail to you. I wish you luck with Jetta, I guess I really understand what you are going threw. She is a tough cat!!! 🙁 Please keep working with her. I know she will adjust to you soon. I miss her!
