So sad :(

We went on Saturday to buy everything for our new cat that we were picking up today. I have everything set up for my cat: the cat box, his bowls with food and water, and some little toys. I woke up early this morning to go to work with H to pick up my cat when his colleague gets there. We receive a call right when we arrive at the office from the lady who is bringing the cat to tell us that she lost my cat at the train station. Somehow she dropped the box and the door broke and the cat bolted. I am so disappointed. I hope the cat is okay.

I'm so sorry, that stinks. I know that I was super attached to the idea of my dog before we actually had him in our hands. I would have been devistated if it didn't work out for some reason. Can you get a different cat or is there something special about this cat in particular? I'm sure there are many great cats out there who need homes. Hugs.

We will wait a while to get another cat just in case he shows up somewhere in the area and is returned. There is nothing particularly special with this cat, I just had a photo of him and we had already named him, so I got attached to the idea of THIS cat and not just a cat in general. I had already sent the photo to my family and friends to show him off. I was looking forward to spending the day with him today and getting him used to the apartment, so I am bummed.

Awww. I don't blame you at all. I hope he turns up.

Ditto PPs.  I can completely understand being upset about it and worried for the poor kitty.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.

That sucks! What a disappointment. I hope the cat finds it's way somewhere safe, or, better yet, finds its way to you!

Keeping my fingers crossed for the poor cat, I hope he turns up safe.

I'm sorry, keeping my fingers crossed that the cat is safe and finds its way home to you!

I'm so sorry! I hope the cat makes it back to you! 

We had something similar happen a few months ago. We went to look at a kitten and said we'd take it. A week before we were due to pick it up the lady who had it called up and said that she's not comfortable with the kitten coming to our house because of Maddy so if nobody wanted her in the next week she'd take the kitten to the animal shelter! Yeh not cool....we didn't even know which one she was taking it to so we couldn't go there.

 I just spoke with H and still no news on the cat. The poor lady that lost him in the station is devastated. She is planning on taking her husband and kids to the station to look for him after work. I hope she finds him, but  I am not holding my breath. More than anything, I just hope he didn't get hurt somewhere

that's horrible! Did she think that boxers make the habit of eating kittens or something? Our boxers were more afraid of our cats than anything!

How terrible.  So sorry blueangel and hope the kitty cat is okay!

Aw, poor kitty, I hope he is found soon! A train station is so loud and crowded, he probably found a comfy spot to hang out until things calmed down. I know I was attached to both of my cats before they actually arrived, I would have been so sad if something like that had happened. Sending safe cat vibes your way!
