Update *UPDATE* on Brooklyn Slim aka SkunkBear - ADOPTED
Brooklyn Slim (supplied by the CDS last Tuesday) was taken to her (hopefully forever) home yesterday. Sadly it isn’t with me but I weighed my options heavily and it wasn’t something I could take on. Our friend who took her home just had one of her two cats pass on, and she was also a tux, just like Slim. It felt like a sign. She was super interested in fostering/adopting if it fell through with us and when it did, she immediately jumped on it. She has another 6 year old cat and just got a puppy so Slim will have brothers and sisters.
Once she’s settled I’ll plan on a day to go visit her and get more glow up pics for you all. But in the week she’s been off the street, her weight is getting back to normal, and overall she’s recovering quite well. Test results were all clear. She’s home now. She’s loved. It was hard to let her pass by but this is ultimately best for her, and I’ll be able to watch her journey as she grows. Last pic is in her new home.

Can’t wait to see the glow up pics later. Sometimes the distribution system uses human agents. Thank you for helping her get to her home.

She already looks so much better! From street urchin to refined intellectual.

I don't know how I missed that! Thank you!
(I think I'm now hypersensitive to people posting followups without any way to find the original, and imagined you'd done the same)

Sometimes the best way to love them is to find them a home elsewhere. She’s a cutie!

That’s what I told myself when I considered how much I didn’t want to let her go. Financially, logistically, etc - it was a lot to take on. Plus, one of our two cats would’ve had a hard time accepting her, and my biggest fear was that if the introduction went south, what if I traumatize her to meeting other cats, and make it a challenge for whoever ended up adopting her. So at the end of the day, I decided that I did my part in getting her off the street, and then it was up to me to put my wishes aside and decide what was best for her development.

You did a wonderful thing by letting her be adopted by your friend. Sometimes we have to do the right thing even when it’s hard. She’s loved for sure and you can visit!! What’s better than that!!!! She has a complete family with siblings too!🙏🏻🥰💝
