Heart Broken Kitty Lands On Her Feet!
Most of you read our previous blog post Heart Breaking Reason Kitty Needs Rescuing about adopting sweet Emma whose pet parent Jon sadly did not return to her after open heart surgery.
Jon had actually paid for care several weeks out so Pet Gal Jennifer Immel became extremely close to Emma while making every other day visits to check on Emma and give her loads of love. Throughout Jennifer was in constant communication with Jon’s family and worked diligently to try and find Emma a new forever home. Unfortunately, she was not able to find the right home for Emma.
That’s when we reached out to our incredible clients to ask them for help in finding the perfect new home for Emma.
The response to our request was overwhelming, we had the highest volume of traffic to our site for a single day ever, with 11 amazing families offering to adopt her! One kitty loving Pet Gal client who moved out of state wanted to adopt her and pay to have her flown to Denver! Another client offered to pay for her care until she could find a new family. After we saw all the responses coming in we knew we were going to be able to find Emma the perfect pet parent.
After careful consideration, Jennifer chose the daughter of a current Pet Gal client, Joey. Jennifer coordinated the meet and greet with Jon’s son, Scott, his family and Joey at Jon’s home. Joey couldn’t help but fall in love. Jon’s family, through their tears of mixed happiness and sadness, said their goodbyes. Emma found her new home!
We followed up with Joey today and she shared how Emma was adapting. She told me on the phone she was so heartbroken when she heard about Emma’s story and feared for her safety and life if she ended up going to the shelter. She was thrilled to be able to adopt Emma.
Here’s her update:
“It was nice talking with you this afternoon. As I mentioned, Emma is settling in nicely in her new home. She’s already making herself comfortable – sleeping on the bed, hanging out on the screened in porch patio furniture, etc. I think it’s going as well as can be expected for such an adjustment for her. We are having to work through some issues she has with her new brother, Nelson, but I think that will work out in time. Nelson has been great, he’s not fighting back when she lashes out at him – he just runs away and is left to wonder, “What’s up with this girl, what’d I do?!?”
Aside from her treatment of her new roommate/brother, she’s a super sweet girl who very much enjoys getting attention, being brushed, playing in cardboard boxes, etc. We are enjoying getting to know her more and trying to make her feel welcome in her new home!
I’m including a couple of pics I have of her – one was soon after we brought her home (still wondering what was going on) and the other in one of her new favorite spots (on the patio).
Best,
Joey”
We can’t say how proud we are of The Pet Gal Family that answered the call to help Emma and the awe-inspiring care Pet Gal Jennifer provided above and beyond her visits. She was able to provide loving care for Emma, be a support for the family, find Emma’s new home all while working through the emotional loss of a long time client. Pet Gal Jennifer defines true professionalism and heartfelt care and an exemplary member of The Pet Gal Team.
Pet Gal Susan.
