I was going to keep this quiet until she arrived but I can't keep it in anymore because my husband has become more and more excited about it which has made everything feel so much better.

So most of you know what happened with the boys breeders which were the circumstances with which Hugo came to join us. She has Lupus and her cattery is being affected by this and so she asked us to take Hugo. I've been helping her where I can but I really don't know how she does it and she has had to sterilise most of her queens and neuter the only stud she had left. She knows how much I love Graddy's mom - Emy-Blue so she asked me to take her :BigSmile: Of course I had to think it over (even though I knew there was no way I was going to let her go to a stranger's house) and talk to my husband who OF COURSE wasn't too thrilled about it. I had a hard enough time convincing him that we needed Hugo but he is finally on board and he said he is so happy that Graddy is going to have his real mom and his 'hooman-mom' :) too. We just have to pay for her HCM test and her spay and she'll be ours.

Some sad news is that Hugo's mom had to have an emergency Caesarian on Tuesday and then had to be operated on in the early hours of the morning due to complications but she is okay now and so is the lone baby she had but he doesn't seem to be growing :Sad:

I'm so excited but of course she can't come until we move to the bigger place and after our trip to my ancestors in Scotland this July. We have to give them a trial period of three weeks before we know for sure if she'll be happy with us and the boys. But I'm sure she will be. The breeder doesn't think Graddy will remember her but he is such a love bug I'm sure he'll see her as a sweet older sister but Hugo will probably remember her as he last saw her a couple of months ago.

Here are some pics. I think she is just so beautiful! Graddy gets his loud mouth from her...oh no... :LOL:

her as a kitten -she was the first female of the cattery

She reminds me of Graddy's 'just woken-up' face in this one

She loves dogs- which I'm hoping we'll be able to have in the FAR future :BigSmile:

I just hope this all works out. I've always wanted a girl and with her coloring which is my favourite. Happy Sunday all. Hugo and Graddy send lots of kisses!

Woooooooo a 3rd! :Laugh:
In the 1st pic i thought she looked like Eli with near the same markings..but in the other photo's she looks different , she is gorgeous!

I hope the trial goes well for you and that your boyfriend will melt and accept a trio of sphynx running his life :LOL:

I hope she recovers well from surgery the poor thing!

I am so excited for you. You had so much to share, I had to read it twice :) Her face is just so sweet. I agree her coloring is just beautiful. I am looking forward to hearing all of the logistics and how it all comes together for you...it's a GIRL!

OMG how awesome is that !!!!
I want one so bad , but my husband will not let me at the moment. He is right though, he thinks first , i act first !! LOL
I think its so great that your Breeder has so much trust in You. I am sorry for your Breederfriend for her sickness, its so not easy and then to give her beloved Cats up , thats even worse! I feel for her.
But so excited for You !!!!!!!
Cant wait for You to move either, when are you guys moving ?? And so in about 3 months she will be home with You ?

Congrats! She is a beauty and I'm sure will bring you lots of joy. Three weeks isn't much time to settle in and love each other......won't you give it a bit more time? Just in case....

Thanks Susi :BigSmile: I didn't know three weeks was not enough. I'll suggest a longer adjustment period to Katia because I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure she can stay with us. But thanks I'll now definitely look into letting her integrate for longer.

Thanks Assi and I do agree with your husband but I'm so stubborn. In the back of my mind I know how completely off the plot I am but the most important thing for me is to offer her a home and to be around her kind. I couldn't let her go to an only cat home. I swear this is my ABSOLUTE limit. :BigSmile:
Well we got deep into apartment-hunting this last week and we have two options so hopefully by the end of the month we'll be moving or the beginning of June. FINGERS CROSSED. So Emy will join us in about two months :BigSmile:
