I Like, I Want but I Can't...

We have been a regular at PAWS Subang since a couple of weeks ago. Not really as volunteers but just to spend time with the cats (wish we could do the same with the dogs). On our first visit there we fell in love with a short-haired mix persian black cat size of a puppy. This cat we named Troy, was adorable. He was friendly and very tame. We guess Troy came from a good home before this.

Since the adoption fee at PAWS is really reasonable, we decided to adopt him during that visit but was told he was on medication for flu and cannot yet be adopted. We even asked if we could put some deposit for him and collect him when he'd recovered but was told that there was no such thing as booking a cat at PAWS. Too bad...so we planned to visit PAWS again the following week hoping he'd still be there and had fully recovered.

Last week on Tuesday, we made sure we gave the cats another visit. There we saw Troy in the common cage for adult cats. He looked fine, no more runny nose and without further delay called the staff at PAWS but the moment she saw Troy we were told Troy was already adopted by one of the volunteers. Hell we thought there wasn't a booking policy here...

We never give up. We promised ourselves that we'd come for Troy again later that week, hoping that somehow someone would release the cat. Later last week we went to PAWS again and true enough Troy was there. The plan failed as i was told by another staff that the volunteer who adopted Troy was coming on Sunday to pick him up. When we asked her how come the volunteer could book a cat - we were told, simply because she's a regular volunteer there... How unfair!

We managed to snap some pictures of Troy becuase we wouldn't want to forget him and the short time we have spent with him. Since the first time we met him, Troy has always been in our hearts. We just hope he'll end up in a good home and will feel happy there. God's willing, we'll meet again. We love you Troy!
