SUCCESS!!!
Its taken me a little while to post, but I'm happy to report that Guns and Roses have found a home. Actually, it sounds like they're living large. This is the kitty-equivalent of moving to a condo on Miami Beach. I'll let my sister tell the story:
Guns and Roses are retiring in style, to say the least. Their new home is an office/show room above a furniture and interior design store in High Falls, NY. Larry, or Uncle Larry as Guns and Roses call him, used to live above his store but recently moved to a farm house taking his current pets with him. He has been rescuing animals for years, and he wanted new pets for his new office. His only requirement for taking Guns and Roses was that they are de-clawed - the fact that they are warm, friendly, beautiful cats with wonderful dispositions is just a bonus. Within five minutes of checking out their new home, Guns and Roses were having a love fest with Uncle Larry, letting him pet them and settling onto the sofa side by side, as they do. Between the constant love and affection, custom built litter box, bottled water, and cat nip in every room, I think it's safe to say that they are going to be happy old ladies after all.
Thanks to everyone who's printed and posted flyers, emailed offers of help and support, and helped the cats and the family through this rough time. And most especially, thanks to Uncle Larry for taking the girls in and giving them a good home.
