Look at that user icon. Isn't that the most adorable face of kitty joy ever? Wouldn't you love to be the reason for a kitty to be so happy? Well, then, you're in luck! I happen to have 2 (!), yes, TWO! opportunities for you to make a kitty, or even kitties, be so happy, and there's a BONUS OPPORTUNITY! Since when has there been so much kitty happy win?
First, and dearest to me, is the plight of Rhiannon and Basil whose furever parents are going to S. Korea to teach for a year. My best friend, Amethyst (
violaconspiracy ), and her hubby, Ian, are heading out of the US at the end of August and will be doing a US tour to visit friends and family starting the middle of July, since their lease is up and they want to see people before they are gone for a year.
As awesome as all of that is for Amethyst and Ian, Rhiannon and Basil are in need of a place to stay for this year with someone who would understand that the cats will want to go home to Amethyst and Ian when they return to the States. Taken from
Amethyst's cry for help:
"The offer is this: We will pay for food, supplies, licensing, and any necessary vet fees, and once our paychecks start coming in regularly in Korea we plan to pay a small monthly stipend. Our contract in Korea is for one year starting in September. We will be leaving the U.S. probably in the last week of August, and would like to have the cats placed a week or two before that time so that they can adjust to their new home before we leave. If you’re in the Colorado Springs area, we’ll need to leave the cats with you before we leave the state on July 11. You would have the cats for a little over a year. If we decide to renew our contract for another year, we will give you the option to keep the cats another year or we will find them new placement. The cats will come fully vaccinated and licensed. We would strongly prefer that Rhiannon and Basil be kept indoors only for their safety. If possible, we would like them to be cared for by someone who is a cat parent or former cat parent and can understand and appreciate their little quirks and occasional mischief. Basil and Rhiannon are both very loving and they will reward you with excellent companionship for as long as they are with you, and you will have our undying gratitude as well. We know that this is a really big thing to ask of anyone, but we trust that there is someone out there whose generosity and love of felines is equally big. If you think you can handle this double-handful of fur and fun, please let us know as soon as possible. Thank you very much for reading!
Sincerely,
Amethyst, Ian, Rhiannon, and Basil"
