"Tony the Tiger" needs a home!
I have a long-haired grey tiger cat named Tony who needs
a home....
Tony is a neutered male, 3 years old on Halloween, declawed
front and back. Tony lived with me for a year until I moved
and couldn't take him with me. My sister and her family
adopted Tony. After 2 years of my brother-in-law suffering
terribly with broncitis (sp?) and my niece suffering with
asthma - both directly related to the cat, they decided it
just wasn't sensible to keep the cat and suffer any longer.
Tony has never been with other cats so I'm not sure how he
would be if put in that type of situation... He's a VERY
lovable cat, excellent with children (my nieces are 7 and
5 years old) and would also make a great companion for
an elderly person. Obviously Tony is an indoor cat without
having claws for protection...
If you are looking for a cat like Tony, of know of anyone
who is, PLEASE help me find a good home for him!
I can be reached on NETMAN::LAGOY or DTN 226-5768.

Well, I'm happy to say that Tony has a new home. My sister
was getting desperate. She didn't want to give the cat to
a shelter, cuz we all know what happens if they can't place
the animal in a given period of time... And she didn't know
of anyone who wanted to adopt him... So she called the
Humane Society. They suggested she put an ad in the newspaper
and ASK FOR MONEY for the cat. If you ask for money, you're
not going to get someone who will take the cat, and if it
doesn't work out, just put the cat out... Sure enough, the
first day the ad was in the paper, she got two calls. The
new owners are a couple in their 60's who used to have cats
all their lives but when they moved into the elderly housing
development, they couldn't have one. Now the development is
allowing pets and they were looking for a cat just like Tony!
The woman came and "interviewed" with Tony and fell in love
with him right away. She paid the fee (which was only $10)
and took Tony home. The woman calls periodically and lets
my sister know how Tony is doing. They really love him and
it looks like Tony really love his new home, too....
I just love happy endings!

That IS a great story. I'm so glad that folks are beginning to
understand just how important pets are in peoples' lives - especially
to the elderly. I hope we I"m in that age bracket allowing pets
will be the rule and not the exception.
