Bisco Needs a Home

Bisco needs a new home.

I have read countless emails like this over the years and always wondered what kind of person could possibly give away their pet? Frankly it is just unthinkable. I don't know what more to say. And yet, I think I will become one of them.

Bisco is our cat, one of two. She is about six years old. We rescued her from the alley as a kitten and in the beginning she was awesome. She fetched like a dog, had a funny personality, and is absolutely beautiful. But she is aggressive, torments the other cat and even Stella is afraid of her.

She has gotten progressively worse over time and this summer we decided to start letting her outside in the back yard during the day b/c she would just sit at the back door crying to go out. We thought it would make her happier, it seems to have made things worse.

I won't go into all the detail but I'm sharing b/c we need to start exploring options. I no longer let her in the house b/c she scratched up Chris pretty badly about a month ago and is increasingly aggressive when I feed her. I do think she can be rehabilitated but it will take work, a lot of love and likely no other pets in the house. With the baby here, I just can't take the chance.

I'm looking into no kill shelters but wanted to start here. If you know someone up for the challenge, please let me know. I'm being honest because this isn't going to be easy and I want to make sure she goes somewhere safe.

I am sick that I'm even writing this but leaving her outside is no less cruel.

She is fixed, has all her shots, etc. Please let me know if someone comes to mind. Thanks.
