[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever had cats before?  They are not dogs.  Just because they don't let you hold them doesn't mean they're not bonded to you.  That said, it sounds like you really don't care about them, so I would look at surrendering them to one of the many rescue organizations around here.  We got our two cats from Lost Dog and Cat Rescue - they are a great organization.  [/quote]

Op here. Hoping to meet the actual person(s) they would go to, so I don't want to resort to giving them to a rescue org. We got them from a rescue org, one that misled us into believing the cats 'would come around' to being loving. [/quote]

It takes patience, love and effort to make an animal "come around".  Even then, the individual animals will have their own personalities, likes and dislikes.  Some love to be cuddled, some don't like being held at all.  Some love to play with toys, others could care less about toys.

As someone who has spent a little time working with rescue cats and helping them to adapt to a new environment it really makes me sad to hear of a complaint like yours.  I think the rescue group was saying that the cats would adapt to their new environment and would stop being so skittish?

Even with my experience, I can't look at any given skittish/scared animal and tell you whether it will be a cuddler or not.  Best thing to do is adopt a cuddler if that is what you are looking for.

It worries me that you are now considering surrendering these kitties in order to adopt a dog.  If I was looking at your adoption application I would deny it on the spot. I'm sorry to be harsh and believe me I LOVE to see animals get adopted into good homes, but I don't think you are ready for another animal.

Best of luck rehoming your kitties.  Maybe I'll be the one working with them.[/quote]
