Bean is a sweet soul. I actually adopted Bean for my son around 3 years ago from a rescue. I'm unable to return her to the rescue because I now live too far from where they are to bring her back to them the cost of hiring an animal transport company just isn't something I can afford and the rescue said they can't come pick her up plus they don't have any fosters available. Prior to being taken in by the rescue she was on the street. From what I understand her former mom/owner passed away due to a drug overdose and she and 4 other cats were passed from family member to family member until she and one of the other cats were put out on the street until the rescue took them in. While she was on the street she was spayed and then returned to the street which is why her left ear is tipped. I'm wondering if her time on the street is where she developed her issue with other cats. I'm not sure though. When my son and I moved in with my now husband his kids and their 2 cats 2 years ago we discovered that she's afraid of other cats. The other 2 cats in the house are not aggressive they're just very playful and it scares Bean. She kept isolating herself and hiding in my son's bedroom so we moved everything she needed (food water litter toys etc) into my son's room and she's been there ever since. Please know that she's not neglected though. My son spends all his time in his bedroom when he's not at work so she's not alone. When she shows curiosity about what's outside of the bedroom she's absolutely allowed to explore which she does for a few minutes before running back into my son's room. My son is getting ready to move out of state to go to school and he found out that the only way he'll be allowed to bring Bean is if she gets declawed. As you know that's EXTREMELY inhumane and not something we're willing to do. If cat declawing isn't illegal it needs to be! I'm unable to care for her because I found out last year that I'm very allergic to cats. So much so that I can't even interact with the other 2 cats in the house without breaking out in hives and my face itching. She needs to be rehomed because with her being in my son's bedroom once he's gone she'll be in there all alone all the time and that's not fair to her. That being said I know once my son moves out we will not be able to give her the care she deserves and that breaks my heart for her. Even seeing her in my son's bedroom all the time makes me feel bad. She deserves to be in a home where she can roam around and snuggle up to people and be nuzzled and loved on. She is caught up on her shots and is in good health. She doesn't have much of a voice though. Her meow is more like a squeaky croak. The vet said she could have been born that way but it's not affecting her in any way. She's spayed and microchipped.
