🐱 {01/11/25} ✦ "A bullet hurts less 0.2" (｡╯︵╰｡) 🩹 | Caturday ✦ 🇪🇸 │ 🇺🇸
🇪🇸 ~ La semana pasada una familia muy bonita me contactó para preguntar por gatito DaVinci para adoptarlo. Para quien me lo pregunte o tenga curiosidad con los sistemas de adopción, le diría que las campañas de difusión por redes sociales funcionan bien pero 1 debes ser perseverante, y 2 debes prepararte para toda clase de escenarios sin importar qué tan bien parezcan los prospectos.
🇺🇸 ~ Last week, a lovely family contacted me to ask about adopting DaVinci the kitten. For anyone who asks me or is curious about adoption systems, I would say that social media campaigns work well, but 1) you have to be persistent, and 2) you have to be prepared for all kinds of scenarios, no matter how good the prospects seem.
El lunes gatito DaVinci viajó hasta su nueva familia (yo sufrí de mucha ansiedad al despedirme de el, siempre tengo nervios el día de la entrega de un gatito) y para el martes en la mañana me lo estaban devolviendo. Tengo el corazón roto por el. Según me dicen el gato que ya tenían en casa reacciono muy mal a la llegada de DaVinci y por eso lo devolvían. Uno pensaría que una familia que lleva tiempo buscando un hermanito para su gato se habría informado sobre los procesos de adaptación cuando introduces un nuevo gatito al grupo familiar pero no, no hubo preparativos para su llegada ni un plan de adaptación, simplemente me lo regresaron.
On Monday, DaVinci the kitten traveled to his new family (I was very anxious when I said goodbye to him; I always get nervous on the day I deliver a kitten), and by Tuesday morning, they were returning him to me. My heart is broken for him. According to what they told me, the cat they already had at home reacted very badly to DaVinci's arrival, which is why they returned him. One would think that a family that had been looking for a little brother for their cat for a long time would have researched the adaptation process when introducing a new kitten to the family, but no, there were no preparations for his arrival or an adaptation plan; they simply returned him to me.

✦ On Monday morning, I sent DaVinci on his way to his new home, and I had to go to the other side of town to run an important errand. It was supposed to take only two or three hours at most... but it took me nine hours to get back home, and I felt terrible from exhaustion ✦

✦ In the middle of the afternoon, still waiting for the things I was hoping for to be resolved, I visited a nearby cake and doughnut shop with my brother. They had a nice Halloween decoration: A giant skull that moved and made a sound when you touched it... This small skull was on one of the counters, and I feel like it reflects my emotions the next day ✦
Siendo 100% honesta no estoy molesta, estoy triste, hasta he perdido el apetito y casi no quiero comer. A veces se gana y a veces no, y hoy fue un no para mi y para este bebé que nada malo ha hecho. Quiza lo que mas me indigna de la situación es que DaVinci es un gatito extremadamente afectuoso y sociable, el solo quiere estar en tu regazo y que le des mimos; creo que tiene muy presente lo mal que lo pasó en la calle y simplemente aunque es pequeñito y muy joven, siente mucha gratitud y reconoce los cuidados que lo rodean al punto que se esfuerza al máximo por expresarlo como puede, y eso hace que duela peor porque es como si sintieras que el animalito esta angustiado por convencerte de que lo quieras y no te vayas.
To be 100% honest, I'm not upset, I'm sad. I've even lost my appetite and hardly want to eat. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't, and today was a no for me and for this baby who has done nothing wrong. Perhaps what angers me most about the situation is that DaVinci is an extremely affectionate and sociable kitten. He just wants to be on your lap and be cuddled. I think he remembers how hard it was for him on the street, and even though he's tiny and very young, he feels so grateful and appreciates the care he receives that he tries his hardest to express it in any way he can. That makes it hurt even more because it's as if you can feel the little animal's anguish as he tries to convince you to love him and not leave.
Esto me recuerda al caso de Alicia, a la que no le pude conseguir casa después de que su adoptante me la devolviera porque la persona que la adoptó no lo conversó correctamente con el resto de la familia... la continuación de su historia de vuelta al grupo de gatitos comunitarios es que unos vecinos comenzaron a alimentarla. La semana pasada la vi y estaba limpia y con buen peso, pero igual sentí mucha amargura porque quisiera que fuera un gatito indoor. Y en el caso de DaVinci, bueno, debería alegrarme que me lo devolvieron en lugar de abandonarlo y decirme mentiras durante las rondas de verificación, que es uno de mis mas grandes miedos cuando entrego un gatito a pesar de todas las medidas de precaución y la planilla con condiciones e información que pedimos rellenar el potencial adoptante.
This reminds me of the case of Alicia, whom I couldn't find a home for after her adopter returned her to me because the person who adopted her didn't discuss it properly with the rest of the family... The continuation of her story back to the community kittens group is that some neighbors started feeding her. Last week I saw her and she was clean and at a healthy weight, but I still felt very bitter because I wanted her to be an indoor cat. And in DaVinci's case, well, I should be glad that they returned him to me instead of abandoning him and lying to me during the verification rounds, which is one of my biggest fears when I give a kitten away, despite all the precautions and the form with conditions and information that we ask potential adopters to fill out.

✦ DaVinci is full of energy this morning. I couldn't take any nice photos of him because he moves around so much, wanting to play and bite. But here he is, back safe and sound, and today I feel less sad. I'm wearing my old hamsa T-shirt, which should really be retired by now, but you know, we all have some old, faded shirts that are like our comfort clothes that we don't want to let go of ✦

La situación actual es que el gatito ha regresado a mi actual hogar y de vuelta al cuarto donde lo he estado resguardando, donde tiene su comidita y agua, su cama de cobija grande y suave, a salvo y separado de los otros gatos de la casa por precaución. Sé que no debo encariñarme, ya tengo 4 gatos y simplemente por un tema de espacio y dinero no puedo adoptar otro pero aún así quisiera comprarle algunos juguetes para que tenga algo con que entretenerse durante el día y no solo dormir hasta verme cuando hago las rondas de alimentación y limpieza, que es cuando lo cargo y juego un poco con el.
The current situation is that the kitten has returned to my current home and back to the room where I have been keeping him, where he has his food and water, his big soft blanket bed, safe and separate from the other cats in the house as a precaution. I know I shouldn't get attached, as I already have four cats and simply cannot adopt another one due to space and money issues, but I would still like to buy him some toys so that he has something to entertain himself with during the day and doesn't just sleep until he sees me when I do my feeding and cleaning rounds, which is when I pick him up and play with him a little.
En noticias mas chill estoy felizmente descubriendo el universo de Hypnosis Mic y ya tengo a mi división favorita aunque empecé a ver la adaptación anime en el orden equivocado, cuando me informe bien sobre este fandom quiero hacer una nota compilatoria sobre esto (っ╹ᆺ╹)っ eso es lo que me ha estado ayudando a distraer mi mente de la tristeza por cómo se dieron los acontecimientos con esa adopcion que no salió como esperábamos. Si tienes algún consejo o recomendación para mi me alegrara mucho leerte.
In more chill news, I am happily discovering the universe of Hypnosis Mic and I already have my favorite division, even though I started watching the anime adaptation in the wrong order. Once I learn more about this fandom, I want to write a compilation post about it (っ╹ ᆺ╹)っ That's what has been helping me distract my mind from the sadness of how things turned out with that adoption that didn't go as we expected. If you have any advice or recommendations for me, I would be very happy to hear from you.
✦ Enki and Lluvia are doing very well. Lluvia has fully recovered from her spaying, and on Monday we are going to have her stitches removed and her rabies vaccination. I wish you all a happy and enjoyable weekend and a great start to the new month ✦

What a beautiful family of kittens you have. ☺️
Thank you! I take care of all of them as best I can 🙏
Que triste. De verdad es triste la adopción fallida. Okala que encuentres a alguien q te lo adopte. Los gatitos, todos son bellos. Solo decirte que no pierdas las esperanzas, ya aparecerá alguien q lo ame. Todo sucede por una razón. Sa
