1071.0. "Success Story...Kitty gets new home!" by ITSBIG::VACCARI () Thu Jan 28 1988 14:57

    What started out as a tragedy has turned into good fortune for one
    little fuzz face...  Two weeks ago my neighbors moved out (thats
    the good news...) the bad news is that they left behind their 6
    month old orange & white kitten (if only I could find them, I'd
    really let them have it!!)   He showed up at my door last 
    Friday night. Realizing what had happened, I took him in and let him
    spend the night.  I called my vet the next morning and told them
    the situation. They asked if I could keep him over the weekend and
    that they might have someone who would adopt him ..... Well, I
    dropped him off this morning to get neutered (I agreed to pay if
    they found someone to adopt him) and he goes to his new home tomorrow!
                                                     
    Hurray for kitty!!!!

    That's really wonderful that you are such a caring person and you
    have a vet who cared enough to help.  Keep up the good work.

    That's GREAT!  Good for you--this is the kind of note I LOVE to
    see in here--success stories!  Bet he'll (she'll??) be one happy
    kitty now.
    
    That's close to the way I got my Billie.  I used to do my laundry
    at the same place each Sat., and one day when I went in (picture
    this--the place was located in the middle of a busy intersection,
    AND that day was a "dark and stormy" one), there was this cute little
    cat (later found out she was around 8 months old) at the door. 
    I reached down to pat her, and she stretched her head up to me and
    purred LOUDLY.  She was so cute I just had to pick her up and cuddle
    her--so when I walked in;  cat and laundry in tow, I asked the owner
    of the laundramat if she knew if the cat belonged to anyone.  She
    didn't, so I looked at the cat and said, "You know, this is really
    no place for you," and took her home with me.  We made two stops--one
    to place a "Found" ad in the local newspaper, and one to pick up
    catfood, a litterbox, litter, and a catnip mouse.  After 24 hours
    of taking her home, I loved her so much I couldn't bear the thought
    of anyone claiming her.  But no one ever did, and I've never been
    sorry!
    
    Best laundry day I ever had!
