753.0. "It Must Be The Kitten Season!" by AKOV68::FRETTS (Shine your Spirit!) Tue Sep 08 1987 21:04

	A friend of mine who works at the St. Francis House day shelter
	for homeless people, rescued two kittens last week from "a really 
        off-the-wall" guy as she put it.  These kittens are not even six 
	weeks old.  She needs to find them a home quickly.

	I spent some time with them over the weekend and they are very
	sweet.  The male is grey and white and already purrs when he is
	petted.  He doesn't like to be held up in the air and will cry
	loudly if you do so.  The female is black and white, and slightly
	smaller than her brother.  I was making little kitty-calling 
	sounds to them, and I must have hit the magic tone, because
	they both turned around at the same time and just stared at me
	entranced until I stopped!  They both will look very directly
	at people and if you talk to them it looks like they are trying
	to understand.  The little female had some dirt in the corner of
	her eye, so I decided to wet a tissue with warm water and wipe
	it off.  I started to wipe her face and she just spaced right out,
	eyes closed and purring.  It must have felt like mom washing her
	face.  I did this to both of them for a little while and they loved
	it.  

	They are very sweet babies and we would like to place them together
	if possible.  Please, if you can't adopt them, check around with
	your friends and co-workers.  You can reach me by Vaxmail at the
	above node address.

	Thanks much,

	Carole

	P.S.  If you are wondering why my friend Ronnie isn't keeping them
	      it's because she already has ten of these kitty faces to feed
	      everyday.  And I can't take them a) because I already have
	      five and b) we are fighting a battle with FIP (Buster Brown's
	      titer readings have been high the last two times they were
	      checked) and babies' systems are just too susceptible to 
	      viruses.  The vet said it would not be a good idea to bring
	      any kittens into the house.

              *** I have also entered this in note 415 ***

    These kittens are located in Framingham, MA and will be delivered
    to there new home.  I am also willing to sponsor their initial
    vet bills (checkup and shots).

    so much for giving them homes.
