She already has a home

In previous posts in this community, I told you about Melanie, a cat who lived in the common areas of the building where I live. We wanted to spay her to prevent the spread of cats in the area, as the situation is quite alarming. We used to feed Melanie along with two other homeless cats. Although most of the other cats are on the street most of the time, we know they have homes where they are fed.

At the time, I told you about the spaying process and also about the recovery. We know that spaying is an operation that requires the cat to be cared for and monitored constantly so that the wound can heal properly. Since we didn't have the space in our apartment to take care of Melanie, we were fortunate that my mother and sister were able to take care of her at my mother's house, at least until she recovered. Then we would find a home for her.

However, and here's the good news, as the days went by, the cat gradually adapted to my mother's house. My mother and sister also grew fond of her as they got to know her, understood her personality, and realized that she could live in the house without causing any discomfort or major problems. We won't deny that, until Melanie's fate was decided, we were quite anxious about what we would do with the cat once she recovered.

But fortunately, time puts things in their place. My mom and sister decided to adopt Melanie, since during her recovery they were able to bond with her quite well. She has behaved very well during this whole time. We believe that her breed has made her docile and mischievous, but not like other cats. We have many relatives with cats and we know that they can be hyperactive, destructive, and mischievous, but Melanie's case has been quite the opposite. Only for a few minutes a day does she run from side to side and explore with a certain frenzy, but most of the time she is quite calm.

This is how this story had a happy ending for Melanie, a street cat who now has a home where she will be cared for, fed, and receive lots of affection and love.

On the other hand, there is another female cat in the common areas that we are going to spay soon, as we realized that she is the only female cat left to be spayed. The others are male cats. This will undoubtedly reduce the possibility that, at least in this area, cats will continue to be born and increase the population. As with Melanie, we hope that the cat we are going to spay will find a home where she can live peacefully with people who are patient with her and give her all the love they can.

We hope that this small contribution we are making will inspire many other people to spay the cats that live on the street or outside their homes. This way, the cat population will not spread and become a problem that could lead to unpleasant situations such as abuse or discrimination. It was a pleasure to share this good news with the community. See you next time.
