Cheebs Check-in
@cheebsra
How’ve you been? How are the animals?
I’m currently in isolation quarantine at the psych hospital :’D (And I really, realllyyy need a phone charger but I can’t leave to ask)
@Sakiuu
Hi. Sorry. I'm back. Hope you're okay and get your charger soon
@cheebsra
Hiiii! I hope you’re okay. Wanna chat later? I’m getting a new cat too, help me think of names :D
@Sakiuu
Chat sounds lovely. I'd love to help with names.
@cheebsra
Sometime tomorrow? And I hope you’re having a restful weekend <3
Oh, she kinda looks like Enid!
@Sakiuu
I don't feel pressured and it isn't a chore. Would love to chat. She's beautiful. She looks like a Grace or Sourpuss. I'd name her grace or Ethel. Old names I know. I'm not the best at it lol
@cheebsra
I just moved into my new apartment!!
Can’t wait to show you
Those are pretty names!! So now my list is: Poppy, Grace, Tofu and Patchy
I get her tomorrow :DDDDDD
@cheebsra
Take a bet, if you feel like it. Which cat do you think I’ll adopt today?
- The tortoiseshell I showed you! I arranged to pick her up yesterday, but couldn’t make it to the owner’s home because I had to wait for a delayed mattress delivery. I told the owner if I could come this evening since my moving in took longer than expected, she assumed I had moved away from my new apartment, and left me on read
- A one year old cat I found on FB Marketplace. The ad didn’t even have the cat’s name. Immediately after my introduction message, the person gave me their address and asked when I could pick up the cat today
Ideally, I’d go visit before cats and meet the owners before deciding, but they’re located at completely different ends of my city and they both insisted I pick up the cat as soon as I arrived . . . o.o
@Sakiuu
I am... horrible at deciding the fate of animals. Personally I'd pick them both up. Which one needs you more? Which one do you feel is in a harsher situation? If the option for both is out, I'd consider their situations and make my decision that way.
@cheebsra
Your message was serendipitous timing!! I just came across an ad about someone giving away their pregnant cat for free. They don’t want to bring the cat to the vet or take care of the kittens. I’ve reached out. Please hope I can take her in. I’m really worried about this cat
Okay, so the person left my inquiry on read. Maybe it’s because I was just rejected from adopting two cats, but I’m quite on edge, constantly refreshing my inbox to see if they’ll let me adopt the cat . . .
@Sakiuu
Wishing you luck.
@cheebsra
I’m on my way to pick her up right now! Apparently this cat is one and a half years and already has had two litters
@cheebsra
I got her!!
@Sakiuu
Congratulations to you 🧡
@cheebsra
They told me she’s very affectionate, so here’s hoping we bond together! But first step is vaccinating and spaying her!
I feel so bad seeing her huddled in the closet corner, though :(( Do you think she’ll open up quickly? My last cat was very extroverted so he was comfortable 0.0005 seconds after moving in
@Sakiuu
Once she feels safe, she will come out. Give her time. Give her treats and space. She will begin to associate you with treats and will come out more. Also sit with her sometimes and give her affection. She will come out in time and move around. I'd say give her a week.
Doesn’t she look so sweet? <333333I am so in love, Cheebs 😭
I asked my building security to go into my unit and quickly check on her, I feel so worried and protective and she’s so cuuuute
