3152.0. "Xmas kitty wanted" by WILKIE::RUSSO () Mon Dec 18 1989 16:20

    I have a co-worker who would like to get a kitten for his wife for
    Christmas...Actually, his wife has been begging for a kitten and
    he is finally giving in.  He is looking for a kitten that is black
    with a white face or solid grey.  He doesn't want an older cat :*(.
    
    If you have one or know of a shelter with kittens, please let him
    know.  His name is Byron Zanella and he can be reached at
    CSS::ZANELLA.

    How about one of the kittens Nancy DC just rescued?  The colors
    sure sound like what your co-worker is looking for.
    
3152.2 I don't think it would be a good match.WOODRO::RUSSOMon Dec 18 1989 18:399
    I think that the cats that Nancy and Jack have are a little older
    than what he is looking for.  This is also their first cat.  I think
    the semi-feral type kitties are better off with folks that have
    a better idea about what they can expect.   I have a feral cat who
    requires a lot of extra patience on my part.  She gets all worked
    up if you put a new picture on the wall.  But I wouldn't give her
    up for the world.

3152.3HOPE we got one for them!!!!SHARE::WESTONMon Dec 18 1989 19:2510
    I have a couple of feral kittens.  Some almost a year old.  Black &
    White.  There is also a male --- all grey about 6 months old.  Yes, you
    have to have alot of patience to wait until they get use to you and
    your envionment, but I believe it's worth the wait, to save their lives
    and enjoy them too.  Love comes with patience.  I will send him mail,
    and keep my fingers crossed, cause I'd love them to have a home, I have
    a couple coming to see some TOMORROW at lunch, I think FINALLY, my luch
    to save these kittens/cats is turning around.

    Not to rain on your parade....Byron is looking for a kitten in the
    8-10 week age range.  They have never had a cat before and probably
    wouldn't be a good match for these cats.  I don't think it would
    work out in the long run.  He just recently  became "convinced"
    that he needed a cat.  You have to break people in easy.
         I know how you feel.  I know from experience how hard it is
    to place a feral cat.  I know Byron, and he isn't the man for the
    job.  Now maybe after he gets good at having one cat.....

    Do they realize how high an energy level a kitten has, and will have
    for the next year or two?   If not, they might be happier with an
    older cat.
    
3152.6Persians do it slow!!!IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isTue Dec 19 1989 11:5710
    re: .5
    
    or a persian!!!  ;-)  I sent Byron a mail message about my black and
    white persian kitten.   They don't tend to be as active as other
    kittens, and definitely don't climb the curtains!!!  
    
    Just not sure if he wants to spend the bucks...
