                DELIGHTFUL SIAMESE,VENERABLE TABBY FOR ADOPTION
         
         We have a two-year-old neutered male purebred (but no papers) 
         bluepoint Siamese with whom we are loathe to part--and also 
         an allergic child, who's definitely staying.  John J. Fogarty 
         (Foggy) loves people, laps, and attention; gladly permits 
         babies to pummel him; is incredibly adaptable to new 
         environments; stays right around the house when outside; 
         adapts to litter or outside potty; is friendly to other cats 
         and dogs; and has no obnoxious habits.  He's healthy, 
         recently vetted, and has up-to-date shots.  To a good home, 
         he's free--and he comes with a starter kit of bowl, litter 
         pan, cat carrier, and flea collar.  This cat is a fine 
         animal!
         
         We also have a fourteen-year-old neutered male orange tabby, 
         who's been part of our family for all those years--and whose 
         allergens we must now part with.  Sunny is healthy, recently 
         vetted, and has up-to-date shots.  He tolerates older 
         children gently, but prefers to be an adult's pet.  He does 
         fine being left alone all day or even for a weekend, but is 
         glad for a few scratches when you return.  He doesn't fight, 
         sticks close to home, is street smart, uses the litter 
         faithfully, and has no obnoxious habits.  He needs to be 
         inside in very hot weather or below freezing.  He comes with 
         a starter kit of bowl, litter pan, cat carrier, spare flea 
         collar, and several weeks' supply of litter and food.  In 
         return for a cozy retirement home, Sunny will provide you 
         with undemanding companionship.

    I know it must be really tough for you to part with these
    friends.  I too am allergic to cats and dogs but I have
    refused to give mine up.  There are some things you can
    do to keep the alligens at lower levels and minimize
    the suffering to the child.  If you really have to give
    them up I hope you find what they need.
       Good Luck,
        Ken and Lucky(sorry he's all I can afford!!)
