Conference misery::feline

    I am trying to find a home for two of my sister's kittens. They are
    staying with me for now (Acton, Ma), but I am feeling bad for these two 
    since we are very rarely home to keep them company and train them properly.
    
    They are both female, and are 3 months old. One is all black, and the
    other is all chocolate brown. Both are short-haired. They have not been 
    outside, yet.
    
    They are obviously litterbox trained, and do not seem to scratch
    anything, although they do love to paw at dried flower arrangements!!
    
    I promised my sister I would find a loving home for them, so if you fit
    the bill, let me know at BULEAN::U_SMITH or call me at DTN 226-7124 or
    (508)635-0543 after work.

    Stray male Patches, now whole but soon neutered.
    
    Patches is a very friendly tom.  He's been hanging around our
    condos mooching food for about 6 months.  Rather than shoo him away,
    I've made an appointment to get him shotuptodate and fixed.  I'd
    like to see him have a nice home afterward.  (We already have
    5 cats -- two other strays are staying with us.)
    
    He's large, perhaps 15 lbs. mostly white with a couple of
    tan splotches.  Looks strong and mature, maybe 5 to 8 years old.
    
    Currently lives in Hudson, NH.  Will relocate. Free to good home.

My neighbor has taken in this cat and would like to place it in a 
loving home.  She requests that she interview anyone interested.

Three year old Cuddles, a petite short hair Calico, is in need of
a loving home.  She is de-clawed, spayed, and has had all of her
shots including feline-leukemia shots.  She has been living with a 
dog and other cats.  Her original owners put her outdoors because 
they were afraid she'd suffocate their new baby.

Please call Laura at DTN:  381-2840

    You may recall my plea for help in note #405 in regards to Frankie, or
    otherwise known as Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde.  Well, Frankie hasn't
    changed much since then.  I really think that he needs a companion.  
    
    So, here is my request.  If anyone is interested in providing a loving
    home for Frankie, preferably with a playmate and the ability to roam
    safely outdoors, please let me know.  I have contacted the Pat Brody
    shelter and they are full at the moment.  She said that if I can't find
    a family for him by April, she can take him then.  However, I thought
    I'd give this notesfile the opportunity to take him in.  I also plan to
    post notices in the vet clinics in my area (Leominster).
    
    Frankie is nine months old (D.O.B. 4/18/92), has had all his shots and
    is neutered.  He is a blue tabby, grey with soft black stripes, and
    white around the face and chest.  He's a very handsome cat!  I wish I
    could post a picture here.
    
    I also feel badly because since both my husband and I work, Frankie is
    in the basement while we're gone (we can't trust him alone in the
    house, as we haven't been able to break him of the habit of jumping on
    countertops, hutches, etc., and has already broken a few sentimental 
    valuables.).  He needs more attention than we can give him.  To give
    you an example, he would prefer to come upstairs with us in the morning
    and be with us rather than eat his breakfast!  He follows us from room
    to room and needs to be with us.  
    
    There's got to be somebody out there who can work through his
    behavioral problems with him and provide him the attention and activity
    he desires.
    
    If you are interested in taking Frankie, please contact me at 
    DTN 223-8977 or at home (508)840-1770.  
    
    Thanks for all your support!

HELP!
	My wife and I came into a unpredictable problem.  We have to move
	and we can no longer keep our cats!  The place we are moving to
	won't allow us to bring them and we have no choice but to move 
    	there.

	Although it has been a very tearful 3 weeks since we made the 
	decision to move, we still must find good homes for the cats
	in just a few days!  

	We are calling around to different no-kill shelters now, since 
	we just couldn't stand to think that there would be any chance
	of them getting killed, but it seems like everyone is filled
	to the brink!

	If you are looking for a GREAT cat(s) or know of ANYONE who is
	looking, let us know!  We want them to goto the BEST homes possilble!

	They are located in Milford, NH, right on Elm Street.

	All four cats are litter box trained and will also go outside!

	

Kitty BIO:

Simon     - 4 year old Orange Tiger cat.

		that will just hang out and be your friend for life!

Andy      - 1 year old Black with a little bit of white on his chest. 
            Domestic Short Hair.
		A psycho kitty that loves to run around, and have fun!  He

		we have!

Garfunkle - 1 year old Gray and White Domestic Long hair. 
		My old buddy!  He enjoys playing around, and staring at 
		squirrels!  A terrific companion!

Hamlet    - 4 months old, Gray and White Domestic Long hair. He is more like
	    a medium haired though...
		My baby!  Of all the cats we have, I will miss Hamlet the 
		most.  He is a vibrant little kitten, that loves life!  He
		just recently discovered snow, and how much fun it can be!

		or just bored, and wants to cuddle!  He is my favorite, and
		I will miss him the most.



Vet. Info.
-----------


Simon will be do for his shots in December, and is neutered. This was all done
at the Merrimack Animal Hospital.

Andy will be do for his shots in April, and is neutered.  He got his shots at
the Care Hospital for Pets in Milford, and neutered at the Merrimack Animal 
Hospital.

Garfunkle is do for his shots in Februrary, and is neutered.  He got his shots 
at the Care Hospital for Pets in Milford, and neutered at the Merrimack Animal 
Hospital.

Hamlet isn't neutered, and hasn't had his shots yet, so he is due Anyplace!

Since Hamlet is due for shots/neutering, and Garfunkle for shots, we are 
willing to go half on all shots/neutering that needs to be done.

    I'm so sorry you have to part with your cats, Steven.  Did you also
    post them in your vet's office?  Post pictures too if you have them.
    
    Good luck.

    I need to find a SINGLE cat home for a stray we took in that showed
    up in our yard one fall day.  We would add it to our existing three
    but for one unfortunate thing.  This cat has Feline Lukemia<SP>.
    She (it's female) is currently healthy and is getting her normal shots.
    Soon she will be spayed.  She is about two years old (VET estimate),
    is a brown tabby about 6 pounds. She was about four when she showed up.
    The pamphlet from the vet gives the cat about a 70 percent chance of 
    coming through this and living a normal life. 40% chance of getting
    over it, 30% chance of being a carrier.  She is very freindly but has 
    a tendency to bite when she gets too excited.  I am working on that and
    making progress. 
    I will pay to send this cat by air if necessary.  I do not want to put
    a currently healthy cat to sleep.  I need to get her out of the garage 
    though.  It is easy to provide heat for her in the winter, but it will not
    be possible to cool the garage in the summer and it gets very hot in
    there. 
    I live in Severn, Maryland.  My DTN is 427-6225,  outside is
    202-383-6225.
    If you know someone that will take a cat such as this or if there is
    an organization that takes care of these cats, Please call or send mail
    to ZIGLAR::WILSON.

    For adoption:
    
    A 5 year old, white, long hair, female cat need to find a new home
    quickly or its off to a shelter. She is not spayed.
    
    I believe the owner is moving. The cat is currently located in 
    Leominster, Mass.
    
    Please contact my neighbor, Carol at 508-422-6832 (Sterling). She
    is a friend of the cats owner.

    I recently found a beautiful stray that I would like to find a good
    home for, since I already have 4.
    
    The vet said she is about 1 year old, recently spayed, tested negative
    on all the important diseases.  She does have ear mites, but the person
    she has been staying with has been treating them.  Unfortunately, he
    doesn't want a cat at this time, so....
    
    White shorthair, with gold on her face, ears, dusting her back and gold
    tail.  She has very blue eyes.  She is very friendly and loving.  
    
    Call or write Steffi at DTN 521-4119, (408) 748-4119.  I am in Santa
    Clara, CA

    Sounds like a flame point, Steffi!  Too bad you are on the left coast!
    

    She does look like a flamepoint but she doesn't have points on her legs.  
    Roberta, if you're interested, she could be sent to you. ;-)
                                   
    Steffi

    Roberta, watch out for those west coast types that suggest shipping a
    cat to you.  It can be easily done.  :^)

    As much as I would love a 4th cat, I won't go through all that expense
    and trouble just to obtain one!  :^)  I prefer to wait until a needy
    one chooses to adopt me itself.
    
    Hope you can find a home for this sweet girl, Steffi.  Thanks anyway
    for thinking of me!  :^)
    
    -Roberta
    

    
    Now Roe, what would you do if you found Kisa on your doorstep????
    
    ;'D
    
    
    

    Well, then she would obviously be a needy cat looking for Roberta to
    adopt her. ;-)
    
    Steffi

    Right, Steffi!
    
    Marlene, if you want to take the time to fly out here with Kisa and
    leave her on my doorstep, she's mine!!  :^)  As long as she is fiesty
    enough to beat the living crap out of Taja she can stay!

Wanted:

Home for 8 year old female (spayed) cat. Has had rabies shot this year.
Grey and black tabby with white paws. Very gentle and affectionate. Reason for

                          -< Cats looking for Homes >-

    This is the official adoption note. Place all notices of cats needing
    new homes in this note. THIS NOTE IS A REPOSITORY ONLY; WE ASK THAT
    THE READERSHIP OF THIS CONFERENCE KINDLY REFRAIN FROM QUESTIONING AND
    EDITORIALIZING ON ADOPTIONS PLACED IN THIS NOTE.  We also ask those with
    cats up for adoption understand that there are no guarantees of
    placement. (Placement information (aka "Sucess Stories" may be entered in
    note 5).

    We ask that if you have a cat or kitten that is
    being placed up for adoption that you provide the following
    information:

      		*where the cat is located (include the STATE!)
    		 gender (and if the cat has been neutered/spayed)
    		 age
    		 long-hair/short-hair
    		 coat pattern
    		 breed
    		 size		
        	 endearing traits
		 anything else you may think is important (indoor or
			    outdoor, shy or friendly, etc.)

    	* if this information is missing, the note will be returned to the
          author.

    	This note will be periodically reviewed by the moderators and older
    	notes will be purged. We ask that the authors delete their own
        notes when they are no longer relevant. 
    
        We want to take this opportunity to remind the readership that having
        to give up a beloved pet can be a very painful and difficult decision.
        This is why we ask that you respect the person's decision and privacy,
        and replies to adoption notes will be returned to the author. We suggest
        that if you feel compelled to reply that you use MAIL.
    
        Thank you for your cooperation.

I have recently been adopted by a two year old Calico stray.  I took her to the
vet the other day to get her her pre-spay shots and the vet informed us that she
is already about 4 weeks pregnant (make that 5 weeks now).  I wanted to place a
note in here to see whether I would have any chance to have any or all of the
kittens adopted.  The problem is I have 4-6 (depending on how you count) other
cats.  I really can't have anymore as I live in a small two bedroom apartment. 
Neither I nor my roommate have the heart to take live kittens to the pound, so
if there is no hope for adoption we will have to have them aborted.  This
decision doesn't sit well with us either.  I just found out about this
conference and I thought I'd check in here to see if anyone was interested in
adopting any kittens or had any ideas on how I might be able to get them
adopted.  I have to make a decision very soon (she's scheduled to go in Thursday
2/18).  If anyone is interested, or has any ideas, please contact me at
RICKS::KAGEN.  Other pertinent info:

    Well, ONE GUY LEFT!  Patti and I have found homes for everyone but
    Garfunkle.
    
    Garfunkle is a loving, wonderful, grey and white long haired cat.
    He has been neutred, and he is about 1 year old.
    
    I need to find a home for him by the end of the week!  If anyone knows
    of anyone looking for a GREAT cat, please tell them about Garfunkle.
    
    As for me, I can be reached at home all week. Ask for Steve at
    (603)673-3052.
    
    Garfunkle is located in Milford, NH, and can be seen ANYTIME.
    
    Thank you.
    

    I have a two year old female cat I would like to find a home for.
    She has had a litter of kittens about a year ago and I had her spayed.
    She was brought home by my daughter who left for college and I already
    had three cats.  She is a typical house cat (no special breed) and is
    black and white (mostly black with white feet and white markings on her
    face that give her the look of an owl!  Her coat is very silky and she
    is cuddly but terribly shy and hides and cowers alot.  I don't think
    she likes being with all the other cats and would do fine on a one on
    one basis.
    
    Hope I can find her a home.  I have been looking for sometime with no
    luck.
    
    I live in Pepperell and work in Stow.  Write me at CSSE::PPARKER.

    My sister has been feeding a couple of strays who have been hanging
    around her house.  She already has 4 of her own and would like to find
    good homes for either of these cats (they appear to be brothers, they
    look identical.)
    
    My sister and I will pay to have the cats neutered, given Rabies shots
    and groomed if someone is willing to give either of them a good home. 
    They appear to be at least a year or two old and would probably do
    better in a home with no other cats.
    
    If you are interested, pls send mail to MCIS2::BOISVERT

Unfortunately, my daughter is becoming allergic to cats, so  I
need to find good homes for our two indoor kitties. If you are
interested, or know  someone who might be interested, please let
me know!

    My 3 year old son has become allergic to our cat.  It really
    breaks my heart, but we have to find a new home for Slater.
    
    Slater is a 6 year old male.  He's been "fixed", has had all his shots, 
    is healthy and enjoys being both indoors & outdoors.  Slater has short gray 
    hair with black strips and a white tip on his tail.  He is a friendly, 
    gentle cat who loves people.  Any warm, caring, loving home will do.
    
    
    thanks -

    I'm posting this for a fellow employee who is looking to place
    his two cats.  He would prefer to have them go to the same 
    home if possible.  Michael's mail address and phone number
    are listed at the end of this message.  The cats are located
    in the San Francisco Bay Area.
    
	Here is a description of my kitties.

	They are brothers, they are both 8 years old.

	Calvin - 

	Calvin is an orange tabby long hair. Beautiful blue eyes and
	he is extremely friendly and playful.  He has ability to open
	doors, and drawers to investigate what is in them.  He has been
	an indoor/outdoor cat.  Never fights, very warm and friendly.

	Jim -

	Jim is Calvin's brother.  Jim is grey in color.  Jim is very 
	strong.  He too is friendly but takes more time to warm up to
	someone.  He loves to jump in your lap and circle around until
	he finds a comfortable spot to lie and be petted.

	I am going through a divorce and have to move and I can no 
	longer give my cats the attention they deserve.  They have had
	all of their shots.  You can reach me at sfbay::afendakis or
	w:415-882-3570 h:510-785-5295.

	thanks - Michael Afendakis
                                  

    At a cat show years ago, I saw an orange tabby longhair with the
    deepest, bluest eyes.  He was gorgeous!  It was the most unique cat I
    have ever seen!  Too bad this kitty is across the coast.  He sounds
    really lovely.
    
    -Roberta
    

    Hey Roberta, watch out!  I know someone traveling from San Francisco to
    Boston within the next month who likes cats.  :^)

    I have three adult cats that I need to find homes for within the next
    few months.  I'm going to have a baby and my apartment is too small
    for all of us.  These cats have been well loved and cared for but
    unfortunately, I must give them up.
    
    Pokey: Will be 5 in April, brown, tan, little bit of white tiger
    striped, medium long hair, weighs about 15 pounds (we nick-named her Jumbo)
    very affectionate, but also can be independent.
    
    Gumby:  Pokey's sister from the same liter, will be 5 in April, grey
    with white stripes on her sides, white face, neck, belly and legs,
    medium long hair.  Extremely affectionate and devoted.  Loves to be
    held like a baby and she actually puts her paws around my neck and
    holds on while she purrs in my ear.  She weighs about the same as
    Pokey, but Gumby is more muscular and solid.
    
    Both Pokey and Gumby love to lay by my head in the bed at night and
    play with my hair. :^)
    
    Shorty:  Looks very similar to Pokey, except she is a bit smaller; the
    coloring is about the same.  Shorty looks like a classic kitten, even though
    she's about 3 years old now.  She is also very affectionate and likes
    to follow me around the house.
    
    All these cats get along well together.  I would like to try to 
    place Gumby and Pokey together, but it isn't absolutely necessary.
    
    If you are interested, please send mail to me, Dawnne Santos, at
    CANON::SANTOS.  I prefer mail to phone calls.  I have some pictures
    of Gumby and Pokey.

    Oh I forgot to mention, I live in Ayer MA and work in Maynard, PKO3.

    With tears in my eyes, I'm forced to write this message.
    
    It seems that my dear Silver needs to find a new home.  She just can't get
    along with any new cats what so ever.  I've had to keep her separated from
    Kyra for over a year now and she still attacks Kyra within minutes of
    seeing her.  Saturday was the last draw when Silver accidentally got out
    of the cattery while Kyra was out.  Within a minute I heard the horrifying
    sound of a cat fight in the kitchen.  I ran in there in time to see Kyra 
    running into the bathroom and Silver running after her.  In the process,
    Silver turned around and bit me.  After putting Silver back away, I
    found that Kyra had a bad cut on her ear.  She split the bottom of her
    ear.

Now don't get me wrong, Silver is a VERY loving cat!!  She is the type
of cat that will curl up on your lap and go to sleep.  She loves to fetch,
but only little pieces of celophane or aluminum foil.  She also loves to
sleep with you at night, under the top blanket only.  This cat LOVES to 
play and sometimes pesters me to play with her.

    It really breaks my heart to do this, but I've decided that she really 
    does need to go to another home.  I just can't have her attacking other 
    cats like this.  I've got four cats and she only gets along with one of 
    them.  That one she grew up with.  She needs to go to a home where she is 
    the only cat.  Or if someone wants two cats, I might be convinced to let 
    Tabitha, a solid black domestic shorthair, go with her, although that would 
    break my heart just as much.  The person would probably be able to
    bring in a kitten later and Silver would probably adapt with no
    problem.  As long as she knows that she's queen, she's all set.

Her Breed is a Korat.  She's solid blue (gray) with big green eyes.  She's
got a very sweet looking face and actually is a pretty little girl.  
I think she weighs about 7 lbs.

She had a problem quite a while ago with some bumps all on her back, head,
ears, and tail.  It turned out to be an allergy to any type of fish.  
She still has some scars from the incident on her head and back, but they
will eventually go away.  She can eat 9-lives wet food and Iams or
Science Diet dry.  Most other foods have a tendency to bring back these 
little bumps.

Please, if anyone knows of someone looking for a single cat, keep Silver
in mind.  If they'd like two, I can possibly let Tabitha go as well.

Please be advised that all potential owners will be screened by me.  I want
the absolute best home for my baby.

Holly
a sad mom.
    

    Hi,
            OREO is looking for a new home.  OREO is a black and white
    female
    cat(fixed), with medium length hair. She has her front claws removed.
    She's
    been a house cat the three and a half years she's been alive.
    
            We have a new baby in the house and my wife and I have made the
    decision to give the cat away to lower the stress level of the house.
    The cat loves to sleep in warm places like the crib, carseat, bassinet,
    the
    changing table and other places we rather not have the cat. We find we
    are
    always removing the cat from places we don't want it and I'm sure this
    hurts the cats feelings.
    
            She lives in Hudson NH. She comes complete with two
    litterboxes,
    whatever food is around, and her fur-ball medication.
    
            If your interested please respond to SOLVIT::ROBERTS
    or call DTN:264-4785.

    I'm happy to announce that the cat in .383 will be going to the
    Framingham shelter as soon as Nancy Cross can make all the connections
    with the popele who contacted her. I brought the info to the shelter
    last night, and the lady that runs the shelter agreed to take the cat
    in order to avoid it being put down, which is what it sounded like the
    guy would do.
    
    But, the cat will still be looking for a great home to go to, if anyone
    is looking for one! ;-) I'll post again when the cat has arrived at the
    shelter after a vet check up.

    Due to severe allergies I can no longer keep my cat Friski.
    I have had friski for 7 years and after having been on 
    several medications through the years I've been instructed
    by my doctor to find Friski another home.  I've tried 
    every medication on the market which would allow me to 
    keep this cat.  This is a very difficult decision for
    me.  Friski is a loving, very friendly nuetered female
    cat.  She has a coat of soft gray hair with deep green eyes.
    She has double paws on all 4 feet, She has been declawed,
    front paws only, which make her an indoor cat.  She loves
    to bask in the sun and will spend an occasional afternoon
    out doors.  She has recently been to the vet ( 3 weeks ago)
    she is in perfect health and has had all of her shots.
    
    Please send mail to IAMOK::Bellenger or call DTN# 223-7789 if
    interested.  
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    Oops, 
    
    an amendment to note 391, Friski has been spayed, not nuetered.
    She is a female cat.  :*)
    
    
    
    

	
	Torey and Abbey have been part of our family since they
	were babies. We are moving and cannot bring them with us.
	This is	a heart breaking experience for us, and we have
	decided to put them both up for adoption, only to a good home,
	and will separate them if only necessary.	

	Location: Both cats are located in Massachusetts
	Gender:	  Both are spayed, front declawed females, and their 
	          records are at the Hudson Animal Hospital, in Hudson, Mass.
	Age:	  Torey is almost 7, and Abbey will be 3
	Hair:	  Both are short hair, and keep themselves clean
	Breed:	  Torey is a Calico, and Abbey is a Tabby
	Size:	  Both are small built
	Traits:	  Torey is quiet, likes to sit, sleep, and sun herself
		  in the window sill or bed, she is shy, and occasionally
	          will come to you for affection. She occasionally
	          likes to go out and explore, but she will return
		  in a few hours. Torey requires little attention,
		  except for fresh food, water, and a clean litter
		  box.

		  Abbey is the opposite, playful, likes to sit in your 
	          lap, watches the fish in the fish tank, plays with the
		  dog, very affectionate, and requires attention from
		  people, as well as fresh food, water, and a clean 
	          litter box.	

	If you are interested, or have contacts that would be
	interested, pls conntact: Cathy Schoenig during the day
	at (508) 869-6968, and during the evenings (508) 342-0142.

	Thank you
		   	

                           
    I have a plea from a cat-owner looking for a home for a beautiful cat
    that needs lots of love and attention.
    
    A friend of mine adopted a Bengal Tiger/Snow Leopard in October. 
    The kitten was 4 months old and had not really been people socialized.
    The kitten is fine when you are home a lot and giving it lots of
    attention.   My friend is now working 2 jobs and just had an allergy
    workout which shows she's allergic to the kitten.  
    
    The cat is a purebred, 9 months old, male and un-neutered and currently
    lives in Warwick, RI.  
    
    Free to a good home where he will gets lots of attention.  For more
    information call Nina (pronounced 9-ah) or Neal at 401-739-8816.
    There is an answering machine there. 
    

    I think we need clarification on the cat in note 4.394.  Is this cat a
    wild cat, i.e. actual bengal tiger/snow leopard cross?  (probably
    unlikely but you never know until you ask).  What does the cat look
    like, and how big is it?
    
    Jo

    Second plea!  Can someone help?  I must find homes for these cats
    soon or they'll have to go to a shelter! 


    I have three adult cats that I need to find homes for within the next
    few months.  I'm going to have a baby and my apartment is too small
    for all of us, and there isn't much possibility of being able to move
    with all these cats.  These cats have been well loved and cared for but
    unfortunately, I must give them up.
    
    Pokey: Will be 5 in April, brown, tan, little bit of white tiger
    striped, medium long hair, weighs about 15 pounds (we nick-named her Jumbo)
    very affectionate, but also can be independent.  Female.
    
    Gumby:  Pokey's sister from the same liter, will be 5 in April, grey
    with white stripes on her sides, white face, neck, belly and legs,
    medium long hair.  Extremely affectionate and devoted.  Loves to be
    held like a baby and she actually puts her paws around my neck and
    holds on while she purrs in my ear.  She weighs about the same as
    Pokey, but Gumby is more muscular and solid.
    
    Both Pokey and Gumby love to lay by my head in the bed at night and
    play with my hair. :^)
    
    Shorty:  Looks very similar to Pokey, except she is a bit smaller; the
    coloring is about the same.  Shorty looks like a classic kitten, even though
    she's about 3 years old now.  She is also very affectionate and likes
    to follow me around the house.
    
    All these cats get along well together.  I would like to try to 
    place Gumby and Pokey together, but it isn't absolutely necessary.
    
    If you are interested, please send mail to me, Dawnne Santos, at
    CANON::SANTOS.  I prefer mail to phone calls.  I have some pictures
    of Gumby and Pokey.

    My name is "Ricochet", "Rici" for short.  I'm a very healthy, 4
    year-old neutered black and white male DSH.  I'm extremely affectionate. 
    I even like other cats, dogs and children.  I was raised with other small
    animals, and a toddler.  I need a new home desparately.  My loving
    owners can only spend three nights per week with me, and I'm extremely
    lonely!!!  Since I got my present home from this file, I dearly hope
    I can find another here.
    
    Please adopt me.  I will be very loyal.  And as an added bonus, I'm a
    great mouser!  Please call Paula @ 508-883-6173.  She'd be happy to 
    drop me off anywhere in MA, RI or southern NH.

    	`Tilt' is a special little kitty at Tufts who needs a home.
    	She's black, short haired, six weeks old. Tilt was picked up
    	by a dog by her head and shaken - as a result she has some
    	neuro-muscular damage in the head and neck area (one of my
    	co-workers said she has Katherine Hepburn Syndrome!). She has
    	a little trouble keeping her balance but believe me, she does
    	not lack in enthusiasm!! She's a little maniac (in the typical
    	cute-kitten sense...:) ). She will grow out of most of the 
    	damage, according to her vet and rescuer, Dr. Diane Monsein. If
    	you would like to adopt Tilt, call Tufts at (508) 839-5302 and 
    	ask for Dr. Monsein. (if she's not in, ask to leave her a message).

    I have two cats who were born on August 19, 1992.  They are brother and
    sister.  And I guess their breed is just common domestic cats.
    
    Tommy is a beautiful long-haired cat, mostly white with gray spots. 
    He's 10 pounds.  I consider him a "puff".  His fur is so soft to touch
    it's like a powder puff.  His tail is always fluffed out too.  It's
    different.  :)  He likes being pet and sleeping with someone.
    He's a bit clumsy in my opinion.  Sometimes he can jump onto the
    counter, other times he only makes it with his front paws and ends up
    falling backwards.  He isn't much into adventures in high places.  He
    likes keeping his paws on the ground.  His favorite playtoy is a plastic 
    laundry basket that he can jump in and out of, roll around the room, and 
    sit in.
    
    Tasha is short-haired.  Also mostly white.  Her gray spots also include
    some stripes.  She is her own woman.  You can only give her attention
    when she wants it.  She knows the meaning of "no" and is very athletic
    (she likes to climb up anything).  Her favorite playtoy is a plastic
    tab off of anything - milk jug, peanut jar, anything.  She is 6 pounds.
    
    These cats have had all of their shots (including rabies), are NOT
    declawed, have never been outside, and have a diet of water and Science
    Diet kitten food.  They are both "fixed" - spayed and neutered.  They
    are also box trained and know what a scratching post is for.
    
    I love them dearly, but feel that I am not home enough to give them the
    attention that they deserve.  They have a lot of love to give and I'd
    like someone to have that.  I've also just recently moved into a new
    apartment.  It is much smaller than my previous one and the cats just
    don't have enough room to play in.  The only reason that I haven't let
    them outside is because I've been living in apartments.  (They would be
    outdoor cats if I lived in a house.)
    
    I will give them away to a loving home.  All their toys, food, and their
    'doggy' scratching post can go with them at no cost.  I would just like
    them to be happy.
    
    I can be contacted on CGHUB::BENOIT, dtn 264-4819.  
        Home phone is 603-672-8442.
    
    I would like them to go to the same home and stay together too.
    
    thanks,
    Lisa

    I have a friend who has a very special needs cat.  She is a mom-cat
    who came into a local shelter -- pregnant, hungry, and FELV positive.
    She is very late along and will need to have the kittens aborted due
    to her positive status.  
    
    However, we would like very much to place this girl so that she
    will not have to be put down.  She is sweet, loving and wonderful.
    She'd make a great companion and lapcat.  However, the shelter she
    resides in will put her down due to her positive FELV status.
    
    As many of the FELINERS know, a cat that tests positive can live
    a very long and good life.  It would be a shame to have this 
    wonderful girl euthanized.
    
    If you think you can give her a home where she will be indoor
    only as well as an only cat,  please call or write me asap.  
    
    Time is of the essence...   I'd take her myself, but I have 11
    cats already and none of them are felv postive.

    I am trying to place a kitten for a former colleague and friend.
    
    The kitten's name is Tasha, and she is approximately 13 weeks old.  She
    is a very beautiful girl; shorthaired, brown patched mackeral tabby
    with white... or in layman's terms... brown and red striped tabby with
    white.  She is very loving and affectionate, completely litterbox
    trained, and has had her series of kitten shots.
    
    Tasha is located in Framingham, MA.  Her toys, litter and food will
    accompany her to her new home.
    
    Please contact me if you are interested (JUPITR::KAGNO or DTN
    237-2270), and I will put you in touch with Tasha's owner.

    I hate to do this but here goes.
    
    Name:	Coconut
    Address:	Clinton, MA
    Gender:	Male/Neutered
    Age:	~3 1/2
    Size:	Small  
    		Short Hair
    
    Coconut is just about completely deaf, therefore he is strictly in
    doors only.  Every now and then he gets the urge to go out, but we dont
    let him.  We have two small children and he loves to cuddly with my 4
    year old.  As a matter of fact Coconut sleeps on my 4 year olds bed
    with him.  He loves to play with the children and bat around little 
    cars and balls.  He very friendly towards anyone who wants to pet him
    or play with him. Due to the fact that he has a hear problem, does not
    really know how to meow, it almost sounds like a baby crying.

We have a kitten that my daughter brought home last week because a friend of 
hers was unable to keep her.  Because we already have 3 cats it is impossible 
for us to keep her...:'(

Here are some specifics:

	Gender:  Female
	Age:	 8-9 weeks
	Size:	 Small, short hair
	Coat:	 White with black markings
	Address: Leominster, MA

She is litter box trained, eating fine on her own, has not had exposure to the
outdoors, and very friendly.  She has had no problem adjusting to the older cats,
although they are much less enthusiastic.  She loves to cuddle when sleeping and
full of energy when not.

I'm hoping to fine her a home soon because it's very easy to become attached.
She is adorable!!!

I went over her place this weekend and was greeted by all 5 of them looking 
to play.  I was so enamored that I may end up taking one to keep my other cat 
company during the day.    

All the kittens are currently using the litter-box and eating some solid foods.

The kittens are located in Westboro, Ma.

    are both black one is long haired the other short haired. one of the 
    two (sisters) has a white spot on her chest. They are both trained to
    use the litter box. He is unable to keep them as he has been working
    long hours and often stays over night.

    Two beautiful Tiger kittens available for adoption.  They were born an
    hour apart but look like twins.  I believe they are both female but am
    not 100% positive.  They are 7-1/2 weeks old and are eating on their 
    own and kitty litter trained.  They love people (I have handled them
    from the beginning) so they are used to being picked up and love to
    cuddle and play.  We are all in Hudson, N.H.  Pls. give me a call to
    see them.

    One adorable 8 week old little boy kitten is looking for a home.  I was
    given him as a birthday gift and have been sneezing and itching ever
    since.  (short hair never really bothered me too much but WOW!)
    He is long haired, has white legs, belly and chin and a calico-type patch
    from his nose up on over his head and down to his tail.  He has the
    sweetest blue eyes and is silky soft.  He purrs like crazy and plays
    and snuggles constantly.  He is completely litter trained and is eating
    normal.
    
    I have barely eaten or slept since I got him because I'm worried sick
    over not finding a home for him.

	In Manchester, NH, at Mountain Aquarium and Pet on Elm St. (across
	from the Center of NH):  sweet little smoke and/or tabby girl, with
	huge ear-tufts and floppy paws.  The woman at the store says that
	everyone thinks she looks funny, so she hasn't been taken home yet.
	I believe they're asking $35 or $39 for her - the owner does this
	just to cover her vet and food costs.  I'd say she's around 9-10
	weeks old, and should be up-to-date on shots.

	Someone please adopt this baby before I do it myself :^}

    One kitten, one black long haired cat available at the Clough Vet. in
    Merrimack, N.H.  The black cat was hit by a car and left in the road to
    die.  A well wisher brought the cat to this vet, and they operated on
    the cat free of charge.  Looking for a good home now.  The kitten was
    left at their doorstep in a box.  Please call Dr. Clough's Vet in
    Merrimack, as they were wonderful people to take care of them, and now
    looking for a good home for both of them.

	I'm not sure if this is the right place, but here goes......

	The Cat Protection League are full for the first time in their 
	history, they have double the number of cats they had last year - they 
	believe it is due to the recession, with people abandoning their cats 
	when they find out the cost of a spay/neuter, or vets bills.

	It is the first time they have ever had to have a waiting list.

	They need to find homes for the cats they have, so they can take in
	new ones.

	They even have a few kittens.

	They have been on the front page of the Newbury Weekly News, with
	a picture of a kitten, to let people know of their plight, and to 
	highlight this problem.
 
	Please get in touch with your local Cats Protection League if you are 
	looking for a moggie (they are in the local phone directories) - it 
	will help that moggie, and make room for another.

    I am looking to place a stray cat into a home without any cats.
    Here is her story:
    
    About a month ago, my boyfriend's sister found this cat at a
    gas station - apparently someone had dumped her off.  I don't 
    know how long she was on her own, she was pretty thin and VERY
    hungry, but after a couple of days she was looking much better! 
    We decided to name her Misha and introduced her to my other two 
    cats...but for some reason she is not adjusting very well.
      
    
    She is a female, gray tabby with huge almond-shaped green eyes.
    I have no idea how old she is but if I had to guess I would
    say 2 or 3.  She is very affectionate, and loves to talk ALOT!  
    She is very content to sit in your lap and sleep.  She has a hearty 
    appetite and eats just about anything you put in front of her.  
    She does not claw at the furniture and is maticulous about using the 
    litter box.
    
    I really don't know why she won't tolerate the other cats, but
    they fight constantly and I'm worried that one of them is going
    to get hurt.  I also live in a small condo so finding her own
    "space" has been difficult.
    
    I would really like to place her in a home where she will receive
    alot of attention and love, but no other cats to compete with.  I 
    have not yet taken her to the vet, and am willing to help out 
    towards any shots that she needs.
    
    If anyone can help out, I would appreciate it.  I can be reached
    at POWDML::SULLIVAN, and my home number is 508-263-7474.
    
    Thanks,

    There is an 8-year old female cat in *dire* need of a home right away.
    
    She lives in Merrimack NH.  She is a spayed grey cat with splotches of
    white running through the grey.  She has a white chest and booties.
    
    Her shots are up to date.  She has been de-clawed and is an indoor only
    cat.
    
    Her owners have found that their child is *extremely* allergic to cats
    and must find a new home for her.  They really don't want to take her
    to the Humane Society but will if they have to.  
    
    The reason for the *urgent* -  They are going to Florida for a
    vacation.  They are leaving Friday....(this Friday).  They would really
    like to find a home for her ASAP
    
    Her owners name is Mike Poulin and he can be reached at    
    DTN 264-4304 ext 4082 (you must dial it that way).  Please help this
    kitty.  I can't have anymore (already over cat-max)...

Pat and I are moving to Maui.  As much as it pains us, we would like
to put our two cats, Patches and Boots, up for adoption.

Why?  Hawaii has no rabies.  They would have to be quarantined for 4
months.  Patches and Boots are both 12 years old and quite settled.  
Life in a cage for that length of time would be hell - if not 
kill them.  Thinking from their perspective, adoption seems 
the best course.

Patches is white with tabby patches, Boots is all 
black with little white boots and white under his chin.  Yes, 
I know, corny - but that's what we like.  

They both understand that cat world is on the floor, but Boots will 
seek to jump up into your lap for his morning hug.  They are independent
and love the outdoors.  After breakfast, they trot outside to secure
the yard, or nap.  Yes, napping they do that well.  When you come home,
so do they - many times awaiting your arrival - eager to join you for supper.
If they do misjudge dinner time, they have a special plate - when they 
hear you ring it, they will come from parts unknown on your request.
The plate is yours.

They are brothers from the same litter and have eaten off of the 
same plate together for 12 years.  Sometimes they even snuggle up together.  
And if you let them, they will snuggle up to you in bed.

In the winter, they like indoors at night.  They are quite happy to find
a warm spot in the basement or sleep next to you.  Your choice.  They
are good at being on their own if you go away for a weekend.  And when
you are on vacation having a friend stop in a couple of times works
just fine.

For Christmas, or seasonal holiday of your choice, they are used to a
cat toy gift.  And their very best, all-time treat is chicken livers.
You will be begged for more.

Patches and Boots are both neutered males with all shots up to date.  
Very gentle.  They are laid back enough now, so they don't bring
birds and other animals back any more.  They look good and are in
great shape.

Tomorrow is my last day of work at Digital, so I will not be reachable 
on the net.  If Patches and/or Boots can fill that special niche in 
your life as they have ours, please call before mid-September:

    	Chico is a classic, "old-fashioned" Siamese who needs a One-animal
    	home.  He would make an ideal "Watch-cat" as he is very possesive
    	of his home.  Chico is a wonderful companion for a single person	
    	although he would also fit into a family situation with older 
    	children.
    
    	Chico is about 2 years old and has not had an easy time for the
    	last six months.  He REALLY needs someone to love him and he
    	will return your love with a vengance!

	Update to 4.441...........

	Well, the publicity on the front page of the local weekly paper
	did the trick, the Cat Protection League were up to capacity
	for the first time ever in Reading - 100.

	They placed 40 cats and kittens after the publicity, they worked
	their whatsits off this week vetting all the new homes and people.

	So, they are now only at 60% capacity......and didn't need to turn any 
	away.

My brother and sister-in-law (Gina and Steve) are looking for a home for a 
wonderful cat that has found her way into their neighborhood in Haverhill, MA.  
She is a beautiful calico with black, tan, and white coloring.  She is quite
small, and looks and acts like a young (under a year) cat.  She started
coming around a few days ago; wears a flea collar so is/was somebody's
cat.  Gina and Steve have been feeding her and bringing her in when their
two dogs are outside, but cannot keep her (because of the dogs).

She is a lovable and friendly cat.  If you can take her, or would like
to see her, please contact Gina at 508 657-1065 (day), or 508 521-2681 (night).

Thanks,

    Update on 4.444:
    
    Well, when no one came forward, we took it. Don't know whether to laugh
    or cry. But with 7 other cats, this one is so easy-going he's already
    melted into the 'catscape.' Minimal snarls, growls, and my favorite --
    crashes-in-the-middle-of-the-night, so far.
    
    Isn't 'any number of cats over 7' a 'sure sign of psychosis', or

    We have 5 wonderful male kittens that need to find new homes. 
    We're already over our max-cat limit, 2 males/2 females, and we 
    have three children under 5... Thumper and Marigold gave birth to 3 
    and 4 kittens 8 and 10 weeks ago, respectively. 
    
    Pinoccio is a 10 week old, solid gray short-haired, male. His bother 
    and sister are doing well in thier new homes. He is very well 
    mannered with our kids and all the other felines in our home. He 
    loves being both indoors and out and uses the litter box like a pro 
    (Thumper takes him everywhere and has taught him well). 
    
    Marigold's four little 8 week old boys are all short-haired tigers. 
    Three are yellow/white and one is a deep golden color. They also 
    are doing great with the other cats and kids as well. They are 
    using the litter box very well and have remained inside.    
    
    If you have the room in your home and your heart for any of these 
    cute little guys, please let us know. You are welcome for a visit to 
    see if you would like adopt any of them.

    Kitty Angels is a private, no-kill shelter for cats located in Tyngsboro, 
    Mass.  Now available for adoption at Kitty Angels is an assortment of 
    kittens: brown, gray, and orange tigers, some with white; a couple of 
    creams; a very striking tortoiseshell; and three solid blacks. A few 
    have double paws. Most are short-hairs, but there are a couple of 
    long-hairs. They are 6 to 9 weeks old. For more information please 
    call the shelter at 508-649-4681. 

    Cats and kittens are shown by appointment. All have been vaccinated 
    and are leukemia and AIDS negative. Adult cats have been spayed or 
    neutered.

    I have a cat named Scrappy that is in need of a home.  His owner 
    moved out of town suddenly.  On the day the owner left town Scrappy
    was nowhere to be found.  Now Scrappy's back and I have no way to
    reunite him with his owner.
    
    Scrappy's Specifications:
    
    Location: 		Hudson, Mass
    Gender: 		Male - neutered
    Age:		Unknown
    Hair:		Black - short
    Coat Pattern: 	What does that mean?
    Size:		Medium
    Indoor/Outdoor:	Both
    Personality:	Shy		
    
    
    I really don't know anything about cats except I know I like them and
    want to see Scrappy find a home.  If I don't find one soon, I will
    take him to the Framingham Shelter.

      The same person who we adopted our little Peppurr from has acouple of
    really "special" kitten-kids who are looking for a home with someone
    who has a lot of love to both give and receive. These are two little
    long-haired tiger kittens who were the only surviving members of their
    family...all of which contracted Feline Distemper. 
    
      While these two are now perfectly healthy otherewise, the distemper
    did effect their motor-senses, so they are what some people refer to as
    having "the Wobblies". We would have taken them in a minute, but our
    environment wouldn't be feasible for them. They are very happy, playful
    and bright, but they simply can't walk without falling down, and when
    they run sometimes they have their back legs going faster than their
    front, and they tumble along.
    
      A place with no other pets..maybe with carpets (They DO have
    bowel/bladder control and use a litterbox without fail.) and some folks
    who watch so they wouldn't step on them would be great...
    
     If anyone is interested, send me mail and I'll relay the name of the
    person to call...
    
      (Oh yeah..they're located in south-central Mass...)

I have three kittens located in my shed in Northoboro, Ma which will be
8 weeks old Saturday July 24.

There is one grey tiger with white trim (female) and two yellow tigers with
varying amounts of white trim (male).

I have been handling them daily as well as feeding them some solid food and
providing a litter box (which they use!) so they know about all you can expect 
from a little kitten.

I'd love to keep them but I'm already supporting their probable father, their
uncle and their mother so I can't handle 3 more.

I've recently captured and neutered the adult males and the female (momma)
goes in after the kittens are placed.

If you want one of these very nice kittens please contact me at work at
DTN 226-7437 or at home at 508-393-3867.

If I don't place them soon they will have to go to the pound.

 I have a 5-year-old female (spayed), declawed house cat whose mother
  (my daughter) is going off to a dormitory living situation without her.
   The cat is lonely since our dog went away and I simply DO NOT WANT any
   animals to be responsible for.

    Name:  Zephyr
    Size:   Fat
    Color:  Tiger  (gray and black with yellow...but not a calico)
    Shots:  Yes
     
     She desparately needs company (another cat?).  She takes a while to
      warm up to a new environment, does not at all like to travel, and
       keeps her distance from my grandchildren (hides under the bed).
       She attaches herself to the one who feeds or loves her most but is
       very content to be off sunning herself and doing non-people things.

     If you have room for ONE MORE CAT, she really needs a home... or a 
      foster home for about a year and one half.

     Contact me at msbcs::young_t.  She lives in Windham, NH.

    My neighbors-to-be have a bunch of kittens (the old pregnant mom 
    dropped off deal) they would like to find homes for.  Some are black,
    others are a black and gray tabby type.  They also found a buff angora
    cat with a too tight collar tree'd in Douglas State Forest they'd also
    like to place. Kittens are 5 weeks old and the angora is ????
    
    Please send mail and I'll have them call you (I don't know their
    number but see the all the time).

    Wellie, my 1-yr altered male, needs a temporary home for about 1 month,
    Aug 10th - Sept 15th.  I hope to bring him along when I fly to SF on
    8/10.  I have to leave him in SF thereabouts in order for me to re-join
    the sailing/delivery of our sailboat-home from Hawaii to SF. 
    Unfortunately the VERY stringent quarantine laws in Hawaii prevented
    Wellie from joining the cruise, which originated from Boston,Ma.
    
    Wellie is very smart and affectionate to people and other cats.  He has
    been living on land since June at a friend's house.  He is highly
    adaptive, having spent his 6 mths' kittenhood in an apartment,
    then living on the sailboat in a Boston marina, and now in a wooded
    suburb. 
    
    I would prefer if you are a one-cat and non-smoking household.  For 
    obvious reasons I would rather not leave him in a cage in a strange 
    boarding place, especially since he is an extremely social kitty.
    
    Wellie has ALL his shots, including rabies and leukemia.  I'll provide
    all his provisions, and will be happy to contribute to rent.
    
    Pls call me at DTN 223-9588 ASAP if you can help.

    Hi,
    
    I'm not a cat person per se, but definately an animal lover.  I became
    the caretaker of a pregnant cat as I seemed her only alternative at the
    time.  She is a lovely cat, huge double-paws, and is a tan/black tiger
    with a white chest belly.  She gave birth to 5 beautiful kittens on
    July 4th.  Four of the kittens share her double paws, one has single
    paws.  I don't know enough about cats to sex the kittens.
    
    From what I've gathered from people who do know cats, the kittens
    should be ready for adoption around the first week in September.
    Since I already have 2 dogs and a 2 year old son, I don't feel I can
    give the mother cat, who is a bottomless pit of affection, enough 
    attention so I'd like to find a loving home for her also.
    
    My DTN is 264-8148 and my home phone is (603) 429-0985.  The kittens
    and mom are in Merrimack, NH.  Mail at MKOTS1::CORMIER_S can also be
    sent.  Any advice from you cat lovers on how else to place the kittens
    would be appreciated, I obviously don't want to send them to the
    shelter if their chances look bleak...
    
    Thanks,

Due to circumstances beyond MY control....I am forced to find
a home for my Kitty Cat, (landlord evidently is not a cat lover)..boo hiss!
Her name is Shameless....She achieved this name through an injury she
got while she was a kitten....something or someone decided she didn't
need a tail....She has this little stub for a tail..actually it's quite cute!
Her colors are White and Tiger Gray...she is close to a year old & is
up to date with her shots.

Shameless is very affectionate & loves to play cat & mouse games with you...
She likes the outdoors but also can deal with being indoors...meaning she
is litter boxed trained.

Shameless needs to find a home by Aug, 14th...If this can't be done...I will
have to (even though I'm totally against it..grrr) bring her to an animal
shelter.

If you or someone you know is looking for a good cat as a companion..than
this is what your looking for...She's got personality!!!

    A colleague of mine has a purebred female Siamese to give away free. 
    She owns a farm which is often used as a dumping ground, although this
    kitten arrived via other means.  (The previous owner wasn't used to her
    kitten antics and proceeded to lock her in a closet to keep her out of
    trouble -- nice guy!! NOT!)  The kitten is a sealpoint, and was scared
    to death upon arriving at Dianna's house.  Dianna has finally
    socialized her and that's all she can afford to do at this time with so
    many other pets to care for.  She estimates this kitten's age between 4
    and 6 months.
    
    The kitten is located in Leicester, MA.  Dianna works in Shrewsbury. 
    You can contact her at DTN 237-3581, or (508) 841-3581, if interested. 
    All inquiries will be carefully screened.  Dianna prefers you visit her
    house to view the kitten, but if I can vouch for you she is willing to
    bring it to Shrewsbury before work to make the exchange.
    
    I have seen a picture of this kitten and she is beautiful.

Kittens for sale (or free, if you're quick) to good homes.

The price will be commensurate with the amount of money we've
had to invest (shots, vet trips, etc.).  They are 7 1/2 weeks
old at this point, and free; but they're going in for their
first set of shots next week and the price will be going up.

There are 3 females, and 1 male.

All are mostly black with white bellies, paws, and facial
markings (Sylvester coloring?! "thuffering thuckotash!")

All are unbearably cute, cuddly, and sweetly dispositioned.

All have been box trained.

References would be appreciated, preferably testimonials from
current cats owned, or vet's, or children.  (Don't even think
about scoopin' these cats for medical research or cult sacrifice)

And if you're from that neighborhood where cat's are killed by
roving dogs, forget it!

    I have 2 kittens that I'd like to find a nice and loving home for.
    
    They are approximately 4 months old and are sisters.  One is black and
    I've named her Pepper.  The other is calico and I've named her Pickles.
    
    They have tested negative for Feline Leukemia and have had their first
    2 sets of shots.  Soon will be getting their third.  They are litter
    box trained and like to play together so I don't want to split them up.
    
    My reason for looking for a home is that I already have 3 other cats
    and have found that having 5 is just too much for me.  Can anyone help
    me out?
    
    Please send mail to SHARE::MILES if you or someone you know is
    interested in adopting these cute this things.....They are absolutely
    adorable so this is very difficult for me to do....

    Two beautiful "sisters" are looking for a loving home.  These beauties
    are 6 months old and all their shots are up to date but due to their
    age, they have not been spayed as yet.  Jasmin is completely gray and
    is medium haired and is absolutely beautiful, Juice is gray/white with
    shorter hair and is also quite pretty.  They would come with their 
    litter box, carrier, bowls and toys and any left over food/litter.  
    They are completely litter box trained.  They just love children as 
    they've been around them since they were first born.  Unfortunately 
    "mom" is going back to school, full time, in the fall and these two 
    kitties just won't get the attention that they crave and deserve. 
    Also, "mom's" allergies have gotten really bad since she's had the two
    kitties.  If you think you could give these two a good/loving home or
    know of someone who could, send mail or call Denise at (508) 365-7183.
    
    Thanks,
    Lori

    These are truly wonderful kitties.   I had originally got them from the
    Pat Brody Shelter for my neighbor's Dad.  In a nutshell, he has decided
    that he does not want them anymore.  Needless to say I am quite angry
    and disappointed.   Below is an individual description.   I have
    to say that BOTH kitties are EXTREMELY affectionate.  They LOVE to 
    have their bellies rubbed.  They purr like crazy and are FAR from
    aloof.    Both seem to have alot of Maine Coon in them.  Both have
    BIG thick, not bushy, tails.  Both weigh 20 lbs.  BIG LOVABLE KITTIES.
    Both are neutered males and are indoor kitties.  Both are EXTEMELY
    docile and gentle.   Both are brothers from the same litter.
    
    		Garfield - white with black and brown tiger saddle with
    			   the same stripes on his head.  Some tiger
    			   "spots" on his body.  Big thick tiger tail.
    			   Hair is medium length.   Big gold eyes
    
    		Tommy   -  More of a tiger - brown strip with white
    			   paws adn white mouth.   Has the "shape" of
    			   the Garfield cartoon character.
    
    I love these cats and would adopt them myself but already have 4
    kitties.   Garfield and Tommy are not quite 2 years old and are still
    very playful.  I really hope that I can find homes for them before the
    guy turns them over to the humane society.  They are just too wonderful
    to "throw away".
    
    Thats it!
    Arlene
    

    
    Did I read somewhere that Pat Brody would prefer to be called if the
    Kitties from there needed to be replaced. They sound like wonderful
    cats and it shouldn't be so hard to place them. Just a month ago I 
    would have loved to have them. I love coon look alikes. But now 
    am dealing with three furr faces.

    The kitties in .485 really need to find a home quickly.  Their owner
    starts school on Monday and she says that if someone doesn't take them
    by this weekend, she's bringing them to the Humane Society.  I'd hate
    to see these beauties brought there.  I'd take them myself, but I have
    a cat that just won't adapt well to these two.

     Hi, I have a 4 mos. old male kitten that needs a home badly. He has 
     short to medium hair and is black and white with double paws.  
     Sylvester (as we call him) is a good kitty, yet still very playful.
     I need to get him a home soon or unfortunately sylvester will be going 
     to the humane society, as I can not keep him. I work in Marlboro and
     will bring him just about anywhere to avoid the ride to the humane 
     society.

    RE: 4.487
    
    Hi Arlene,
    
    It's the policy of the Pat Brody shelter to return any cats
    to the shelter that you (or your neighbor) can no longer keep.
    We put that in the adoption agreement to prevent our "adoptees"
    from being placed in homes that we don't know anything about,
    or worst case, being put in a shelter that euthanizes.  
    
    Please call Priscilla and tell her your situation.  I'd hate
    to see these kitties become homeless a second time.  
    
    thanks!
    Pam Gladding

    A 4 month old kitten would be easy to place.  You really should look
    into bringing him to the Pat Brody Shelter or any "no kill" shelter.
    Also, what I have done in the past and will continue to do for homeless
    kitties is take their picture and post it along with a description of
    the kitty at the local vetinary hospitals.  It is worth it for the
    kitty's sake.
    
    Good luck to you and Sylvester,
    Arlene

    Just want to let you all know that the gentleman who planned to get rid
    of the kitties in Note 4.487 has had a change of heart.  He just called
    me today and told me that he simply can't give them up.   "They are my
    family" he said.  Thank God!!!  
    
    Sooooo, I am breathing easier now!
    
    Thanks for your help,
    Arlene

    
    
    
    Anthony is an adorable all white 7-year old medium length hair cat who 
    currently lives in Leominster.
    He is declawed, double-pawed (both front and back),neutered and is very 
    playful.  His favorite game is hide-n-seek and he is in Kitty heaven when 
    you take him out for a walk on his leash.  
    He has been an apartment cat all his life and would do best with
    adults.
    Due to unfortunate circumstances, our time together must come to an end.
    I would like to find him a new home as opposed to taking him to the
    only place I could find that would take him, (Sterling Shelter).
    Please call if you know of a place for him. ---Thanks.

    As you can see, all the GOOD shelters are full to capacity.  It is very

     Hi,  my wife has a pure bread (w/papers) Maine Coon (sp?) cat

    Is the Maine Coon located in MA?

I am posting this note for an ex-Deccie who is looking for a placement
for her cats.  She is in Waltham MA.  Please contact her directly at the
number below.  Thank you. 


Wanted:  A warm, loving home for 1, 2 or even 3 cats.  (Crystal, 4
yrs, and her daughters Thelma and Louise, 13 mos.) are looking for
a new home.  Together (they get along very well) or separately.

Crystal and Thelma are definately outdoor cats and I want to place
them where they could be outside as much as possible.  Louise could
be an indoor cat if necessary.  They would be great barn cats if 
you know anyone who has a farm or barn.  

These cats are domestic short hair, and Thelma and Louise have very
unusual coloring, mostly gray with tiny bits of yellow.  Thelma seems to
have some Siamese or something in her and has the most beautiful almond
shaped eyes.  Crystal is a silver tabby with a white tummy. 

If you or anyone you know is interested please call Alma at w: (617)
536-5651 X135, 9-5 or h: (617) 736-0223 until 11 p.m.  I have many
photos of "the girls" taken when they were kittens which you are welcome
to have.  Come and see them, you'll love them! 
                                                        

    
    I am looking for a home for 2 of my cats.  I would prefer to find them
    a single home, since they love playing with eachother, cleaning
    eachother, and sleeping on eachother!  It would also be best if
    they went to a home that either had no children or children who were
    over 4-5 years old.
    
    Gummy Bear is a 4 year old, declawed, spayed, tri-colored tortie.  She
    is  also FAT, although the only cat food she likes is the "lite" food.
    She is extremely affectionate, will sit on your lap and lick your face
    or wake you up in the morning by "kissing" you on the face.  She will
    also initiate and play fetch with you by dropping a toy at your feet
    and then staring at you until you throw it for her (again and again).
    Her favorite toys are straws and bag ties.
    
    Patches is a 3 year old, declawed, spayed, long-haired tiger.  She has
    a very sturdy build and will eat just about anything (she likes to beg
    when you are eating dinner).  She is a bit on the skittish side, is not
    thrilled with young children, but is extremely lovable.  Before I had
    my daughter she would follow me around the house, and if she woke up
    and I wasn't in the same room she would start crying and looking for
    me.  If things are quiet she will come up and lie in your lap, and 
    loves to sleep next to someone in bed.
    
    If anyone is interested, please send me mail at DECRAL::LANDRY or call

    Subject:  Boston area cat to good home

    This is a plea to all you cat lovers. I have a 6 year old cat in need
    of a good home. Unfortunately, I am deathly allergic to him and must
    get rid of him.

    The cat is a beautiful gray black and brown tiger cat named W.B. 
    (White Bib); we call him Dubby for short. Dubby spent the first 
    4 years of his life in a laboratory.  He came to live with my us
    about 2 years ago. Since then, he has been primarily an outdoor cat
    (neutered and has claws). We installed a cat door allowing him to
    come and go as he pleases, as we didn't want him to be confined ever
    again. With this new found freedom, he thinks he has died and gone
    to heaven.

    Dubby is a well behaved cat and really 'low maintenance'. He goes to
    the bathroom outside and does not require a litter box. He has all his
    shots and is in good health. He is a little timid around people but
    that's because he hasn't had a lot of contact with them.

    I'm looking for someone who would appreciate a cat that likes to be
    indoors and outdoors, who has the patience to earn the cat's trust and
    who would provide him with the much needed human contact he can't get
    from us.

    He really is the ideal pet. If you think you would be interested,
    please send mail. [Send mail to vaxwrk::elkins].

    Thanks.

HELP!!!

We have four indoor-only cats because we live on a busy street. We are in the
process of moving to a larger home where there will be plenty of room for them
to become outdoor kitties.  The vet assures us that being declawed (fronts only)
shouldn't pose a problem. 

Here's the dilemma. My husband has had it with cat hair (it's amazing how
quickly it accumulates with four) and even I have to admit it's getting to me.
His first mandate was all four were to become permanently outdoor cats.  Then he
relented a little and said they could come into the garage for real cold nights.
But when a neighbor told us her cat had been eaten by a large cat/animal of some
sort living in the woods (we'll border 100+ acres of woodlands), he decided that
wouldn't be fair either.  So now he's saying we need to get rid of 2 of our
cats.  He can handle the mess 2 make, but 4 is just too much.

So we're looking for homes for Bobbie and Sophocles.  Bobbie dearly loves
Sophie, so if we could find someone to take both, it'd be ideal.  We resued both
from a neighbor who planned to drown them when he moved out of the area.  Bobbie
is a tail-less old girl (not sure how old) with tortoise shell coloring.  She's
a big baby and loves to be held and prefers women to men.  She also loves
brewers yeast and patiently waits after the food dish is filled to have
"sprinkles" added. 

Bobbie is an indoor-only cat.  We tried putting her outside and she walked away,
sure she was being discarded again.  I followed and she came back to me and
hasn't been outside since.

Sophocles is 5-6 years old, gray and white, and the runt of his litter.  What he
lacks in brains he makes up in personality.  Soph would *love* to be an
indoor/outdoor cat.  He's  curious about what's beyond the kitchen door and
cries when he gets left behind.  I need to be honest and say he's had a few
accidents...always when  I haven't noticed the litter box is full.  I think the
problem would go away if he were outside.

If we can't find good homes (which are the only kind we'd let them go to), we
will contemplate putting them to sleep.  I am convinced this is kinder than
leaving them outside to who knows what fate.

If you're interested or know of anyone who would be, please call me at dtn
293-5721.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that we have adopted Zach (4.495)
    and to our great joy he has adopted us too.  He is a beautiful and
    affectionate friend.  I find him doing a lot of things that Chubs did
    and I know that Chubs would have liked him too.  
    
    He has adjusted very well and its like this has always been home.
    
    Thanks Paul,

         This beautiful little kitten was abandoned on our farm yesterday
    on a dreary, rainy, dark night.  We can't afford to keep her (we have
    three already with medical problems), but we want to get a good home
    for her.
    
         Black
         10-12 weeks old
         Short-hair
         Gold eyes
         Female
         Affectionate
    
         Right now she is in our cellar :-( as I don't want her mixing with
    my three (boy, the temptation is there, but I do know better :-( ).
    
         My husband has asked the neighbors, and we've asked the
    neighborhood kids, but so far no one has claimed her.  She looks to be
    healthy, so she *was* a pet - loves to be held.
    
         Won't someone please take her?  We're in Shrewsbury, MA.  Feel
    free to call (508) 753-5917 between 5:00PM and 8:30PM, or after 5:30AM
    (we have an answering machine).

Lucy is a 3 year old, spayed, long-haired calico.

She is affectionate, and will gladly rub up against
you and sleep on your bed.  She is OK with kids, and
overcomes shyness quickly.

Underneath her fur, she is a bit on the small side. 
She has been described by a third party as "elegant".

Lucy is an indoor/outdoor cat.  

I've only had Lucy for about 2 months.  She and China,
who has been with me for 5 years, are not getting along.

Lucy came to me with the following, which I am willing
to pass along:

  1) current shots, and a medical record

  2) a leash and harness

  3) a covered litter box

  4) some food and dishes

Lucy currently lives in Chelmsford.

    This is my first time writing in this conference.  Up to now I have
    been a reader for many years.
    
    Three weeks ago, I rescued a 6 week old kitten from an abusive home. 
    She had a broken jaw.  I've been having her treated and she's coming
    along very well.  She has gone from 3/4 lb. to 2 lbs. and her jaw is
    healing nicely. 
    
    I have six adult females of my own and the landlord won't go for any
    more cats.  He's been great about the others but I can't push it any
    further.
    
    Putting her up for adoption is not easy for me but I know from reading
    the notes here that there are many people who would care for her the
    way I have been.  The following is a description:
    
    Female
    Birthday: 7/5/93
    Coloring: pale cream color with faint sealpoint markings and a tiger
    tail - her mother is a tiger and father is a sealpoint Siamese.  She
    has blue eyes.
    Her name is "Daisy"
    
    When I first brought her to my veterinarian she was tested for FELV and
    given treatment for the injured jaw.  Her testing was negative.  Last
    week she had her first shot.  Her hearing and sight are both fine.  I
    had the doctor check those things based on the fact that she has blue
    eyes.
    
    She's very sweet and friendly and gets along fine with my adult
    females.  
    
    She would make a very loving companion for someone.
    
    I live in Leominster, and if anyone is interested in giving a home to
    this precious little girl, please feel free to contact me at
    LJSRV1::MARX.

    I realize the influx of cats being adopted out are great than those
    being adopted, but figured I would give this a try anyway...
    
    I went to visit my ex-husband during lunch today, and guess what found
    him?  A very cute black and white kitten!  This little guy is
    approximately 6-8 months old, with medium length silky hair (His fur
    feels like hair it is so soft and fine.), gold eyes, and a wonderful
    temperament.  He is a bi-color, meaning he has the inverted V of white
    on his face, a black body, with white boots on his back legs and white
    mittens on his front paws.  He loves to sit on your lap, knead his paws
    and purr, and is very good at sucking up!!  When I got up to leave, he
    bolted off Dana's lap and ran to the edge of the door looking at me
    like, "Hey, where do you think you're going lady??"
    
    Anyway, he showed up a few days ago and has not left since.  Dana has
    asked around the neighborhood but everyone thinks he's a stray.  He
    must have had a good family nice due to his excellent disposition, but
    right now he is homeless.  Of course Dana will continue to feed, love
    and provide shelter for him in the interim.  He inherited two cats when
    we split up, another found him shortly thereafter, and he cannot afford
    to keep a fourth at this point in time.  Considering he didn't even
    like cats that much when we first met, I'd say he has done pretty well
    over the years!  Hey, I know how to train 'em!!  :^)
    
    Well, if there is an interest, you know how to reach me.
    
    Thanks,
    Roberta
    

A very nice yellow long haired male showed up in my shed about a month ago.
I would estimate that he is about 1-2 years old.  I put handbills in all
the mail boxes in my neighborhood but got no response on who owned him.

This cat is obviously a house pet.  He loves to be groomed, purrs constantly
and is very friendly.  He deserves a life more connected to people than my
other shed cats have and for that reason I'd like to place him.

He is located in Northboro, Ma.  My DTN is 226-7437.  I'm going to take
him to a shelter in about 2 weeks if I can't place him.  If I had indoor
cats this one would definately be a keeper.

    I found a 6 month old calico female cat Friday night that someone
    dumped some time ago.  It recently had kittens but they are no where
    in site and either died or they've been separted by the original owner.
    She's been in my garage all weekend very content to sleep and eat.
    The Pat Brody shelter will take her  and I'm planning on bringing her
    there tonight but I've love to find her a good home.  She's very
    loveable and calm.  She does need some medicat attention (worming, etc)
    which I'd be willing to help share the expenses.
    
    I can be reached at dtn 241-3489 if you'd like to take her.

    My friend and I found a kitten in Littleton and unfortunately neither
    one of us can keep it.  It's really cute and has real long hair.  We
    think it about 8 weeks old.  Its black with some white.  It's at her
    house in Littleton and you can call Jan at 508-486-4118 if you're 
    interested.

Wow! 

My first venture into FELINE. Looking specifically for this topic. Sad that 
there are so many cats up for adoption...

I have four 'large' pets at the moment, and two uninvited guests. The 
univited guests were probably dropped off by someone with no conscience.
This seems to happen a lot where I live.

My guests are a brother/sister pair of kittens. They are (as most kittens 
are) simply adorable. I'd say they're 8 weeks old, but who knows. They run, 
play, eat solid food, etc. I still give 'em milk too.

From the basenote questionnaire;

Webster, MA.     *where the cat is located (include the STATE!)
This is near 
Worcester.
I'll deliver 
*anywhere* in 
MA/CONN/RI/
Southern NH

1 each           gender (and if the cat has been neutered/spayed)
a grey and 
a yellow/gold

guessing 8 wks   age

short 		 long-hair/short-hair

tiger		 coat pattern

tiger stripes?   breed

wee    		 size		

adorably         endearing traits
playful

my 3 and 6 year  anything else you may think is important (indoor or
olds play with      outdoor, shy or friendly, etc.)
them daily and 
the kitties really
enjoy it. These 2
kittens are just 
looking for a 
nice cozy home to
grow up in...


***

My wife inquired at a pet store and there may be some interest there. I 
refuse to take these heartthrobs to the humane society unless they can 
assure me they won't be destroyed. I will advise the society however that I 
have the kittens to help spread the word on them and improve their chances 
of finding a good home.

So, we'll see what happens after the newspaper ads, DEC notesfile, etc.

    One year young pretty spayed female currently living in Berlin, Mass.
    needs a good home..she's free...she's been **declawed** front paws
    only, what a plus for anyone wanting a pet around children!
    
    I'm putting this in for our daycare provider as it has been determined
    that one of her newly participating children is allergic to cats and
    a good home must be found.

    Well, it looks like the babies in note 585 are ready to go to homes.  
    Two of them have already gone.  They're VERY tiny, but are 8 weeks old 
    now and eating solid foods.  We believe that the reason that they are so 
    tiny is because of the fact that they went for so long without food.  
    (for more info, see note 585.  They are orphaned kittens)
    
    Please note:  These kittens are unbelievably friendly.  They were hand
    raised and really LOVE people!
    
    Here is what is left:
    
    1 gray/white boy.  He's absolutely adorable and my favorite.  He's
    mainly gray, but has four white feet.   
    
    1 cream male.  He's got a really cute face .. a bit of white on his
    muzzle only.
    
    1 torbie/white female.  Torbie is a calico with tabby markings.  She's
    a bit bigger than her brothers, but is still quite small for her age. 
    She's a little h*llion, though!
    
    All of these kittens are located in Lancaster, MA.  They haven't had
    their shots yet (Sorry, finances won't allow it right now).  
    
    Please contact me if you or someone you know can give one of these
    adorable babies a good home.  They really deserve it after what they've
    been through.

    I forgot to mention one thing in .515.  The kittens are long haired
    (I'm pretty sure.  Not quite sure about the cream, though.  He could be
    shorthaired).

    4 month old orange tabby that is FeL positive.
    
    Yes, this is a special placement. Kittie is free of any symptoms and is
    very sweet and playful. But, because it had been exposed to a FeL
    positive household and may be FeL positive, need a particularly
    special home that is already FeL positive.
    
    If you, or someone you know, is looking for such a special kitten,
    please respond to SOFBAS::SHERMAN and I'll let the vet know.
    
    Thanks.

Help for Little Wanderer!

Last week, a lovely orange cat showed up at my house.  The neighbors
said they had been feeding it for two weeks, but then got "tired of 
being responsible" for it.  I felt sorry for the cat and so have been 
feeding it myself.  Now my newfound friend waits all day at the front
door for me to come home.   

The cat is very clean, affectionate, and purrs incessantly.

I must find a good home for this poor cat.  I can't keep it because
my elderly dog is very upset by the presence of this cat in our yard.
I can't let the cat in my house because of the dog, and the weather
is going to get cold.

I have contacted several MSPCA's and our town local shelter, but 
there is apparently a cat overpopulation epidemic.  No one can take
my poor little Wanderer! 

If someone can offer this lovely cat a home, I will agree to give it 
shots, although I am certain this little cat was well cared-for by 
someone.   I will also deliver the cat to you.  Please contact me as 
follows, if you can provide a good home for "Butterscotch."

    year and 1/2 old female Spayed cat, up to date on shots.  
    Casey is litter box trained and goes inside or out.  
    She is on the small side and is gray/white, her markings remind 
    me of a cow (which she is far from)  Very affectionate.
    
    This cat belonged to my sister-in-law who lost her apartment and could 
    no longer keep the cat.  I took the cat in hoping she would take her
    back when she got her new apartment, but now she can't have her, and
    asked me to find a home.
    
    My two male cats have had MANY battles with meak and mild Casey, so 
    I'm hoping to find her a new home that either has mild mannered cats
    or none at all.  She is used to dogs, I have two Labs.
    
    Located in Salem N.H. and I am willing to deliver 
    Any ideas welcome..

    This is very difficult for me and I would need to find a loving home

    brothers and I honestly do not think they could survive without each
    other.  Felix is a lap cat, not not beside you or at your feet only on
    you.  Oscar is more of a I want affection I will let you know.  Both
    are friendly and their names fit their personalities.  Please contact

Hi,

Olivia is a happy and healthy grey middle-aged shorthair tabby who has
taken on the size (and tonnage) of a large raccoon during the time
she's spent with me. She adopted me about four years ago and has since
more than doubled her weight and girth.  Since I have five cats, I'm
having a hard time managing her diet without restricting the others'
intake, and I think it would be best for her if she were to have a new
home with someone who can moderate her diet. 

She has big beautiful hazel eyes and is very quiet and affectionate. 
She's got all her claws, loves being outside if it's above 40 although 
does not require this, and loves Iams cat food.  She doesn't jump onto
countertops because, quite frankly, she can't make the leap.  She's
gotten along swell with every cat I've ever had.  She's a sweetheart,
actually, and I know I will miss her greatly once she's gone.

Olivia has been getting annual checkups and shots since she came to 
live here; the vet told me it appears she is no longer going into 
heat, so getting her "fixed" is not recommended.  The "fully-
equipped" male cats in the neighborhood never have interested her in 
all these years, so I know she's "safe."  She's never been sick while
she's been with me, although she does get occasional allergic symptoms
in her eyes during pollen season. 

I believe Olivia would do best in a quiet environment where she can be 
welcomed as a new family member rather than in a place where she'd be 
viewed as a new toy for the kids.

Olivia lives with me in Auburn, NH.  Our phone is (603)483-2083.

    Grey and White 2 year old  short hair
    Good temper, doesn't really like dogs but will tollerate.
    He will eat anything but must get a good hug first.
    He loves a warm blanket and the top of couches, chairs that are 
    pushed in under the table.  Does not scratch furnture.
    
    He will need to have shots before long.  He was a stray who 
    adopted us about two months ago.  He is in great healthy condition.
    Shiny soft coat.
     
    We have to find a new home for the cat due to restrictions in the 
    townhouse community. 
    
    
    He is located in Milford NH at 603-673-0041
    Ask for Jerry or Robin
    
    If we don't find a home soon he will have to go to the pound.

	Mittens is a black domestic short hair kitten that was a stray
	that used to randomly visit my brothers apartment.  Well on
	Wednesday night she was scratching on my brothers door (something
	she hadn't done before) to come in and my brother noticed that
	she was limping.  Well we took her to the vet Thursday to have
	her looked at.  Seeing my brother can't have pets at his place,
	I agreed to take her in as a step-sister to my two young males.

	The first test done was a Leukemia and she was negative, so
	I x-rays were taken and it looks like she has a break in a
	bad location (top of the femer in cartiledge) that she needs
	surgery to mend it with a couple of pins.  The real bad news
	is that the vet estimates it will cost $700-800.  A little
	over my budget for a stray.

	Instead of putting her to sleep right away however, I've released
	her to the Humane Society of New England (in Nashua, NH) which
	has agreed to try to raise enough donations to pay for the
	surgery.

	Mittens is such a sweetheart!  Even though she was in obvious
	pain, she was still purring like crazy.  And I had never even
	met her before.  She's double-pawed in the front (hence the
	name Mittens we just gave her when we took her in).

	The Humane Society is non-profit so donations for Mitten are
	tax deductable (not to mention DEC still matches contributions,
	though I believe only 50 cents on the dollar these days, it's
	better than nothing).  And better yet they take MasterCard &
	Visa so donations can be made over the phone.  Their phone
	number is (603) 889-BARK [ie. 889-2275].  And their address is
	24 Ferry Road, Nashua, NH 03060.  Please state the donation
	is for Mittens, the injured stray.

	Seeing I had to release her to the Humane Society in order for
	them to do this for her, I also had to give up my rights to
	her.  That means that if she does get the operation, she'll
	also be available for adoption.

I am currently holding a cat for a friend whose wife has become
gravely ill, and cannot have the cat in the house for a while.

Powder is a long haired orange tabby (DLH), generally quite friendly
and gets along with other cats fine. The problem is, my cat does not
get along with her *at all*. This is messing up both cats' heads.

Powder needs a home for a while (likely a couple of months). She is
an indoor only cat. She is very old (maybe 23), and fairly large
(again, maybe 23), but doesn't show either in the least. She is
still a lap cat if you'll let her climb up. Many people think she
is adorable looking. I'm not so sure, but she does have character.
She is currently living with me in Derry, NH.

It would be a shame to take her to the pound, so my friend and I
are both trying to find something to do with her until his wife is
better. Powder can fit right in to a multi-cat household.

    Pokie is a 3 year old neutered male.  He was abandoned by his owners
    while being treated at the Westborough Animal Hospital for eosinophilic
    plaque, a skin disorder.  Pokie has completely recovered and needs a home.

    I met Pokie yesterday.  He's one of the biggest cats I've ever seen, and
    I mean *BIG*.  Pokie weighs almost 14 pounds, but he looks twice that,
    and he's not fat.  He's *BIG*.  He's a *very* handsome brown tabby, with a
    mix of browns and some white markings.  He was very friendly with me while
    I visited with him.  The Hospital staff says Pokie likes to "knead bread",
    so he'll probably need a (big) scratching post, as he's not declawed.
    They recommend he (and he seems content to) remain an indoor cat.  He's
    "independent" but playful, and he's gotten on well with the other cats at
    the Hospital.  He's really a magnificent animal.

    Eosinophilic plaque manifests itself as itchy red bald patches.  Pokie
    responded immediately and completely to cortisone therapy.  The syndrome
    seems to be related to flea bite hypersensitivity, inhalant allergy, and
    food hypersensitivity.  Pokie's problem may or may not recur, but if it
    does it is easily treatable, and flea control and proper diet might
    prevent recurrences.

    I'd have taken Pokie myself but I'm at my current limit for cats.  He
    struck me as a "gentle giant", and he's just such an incredibly impressive
    specimen of catness.  I've had my cats taken care of by the Westborough
    Animal Hospital for 20 years now, so I can (and do enthusiastically)
    vouch for the quality of their care.

    If you can provide a home for Pokie, please call the Hospital at

    	(508) 366-1444

    If you even think you might be interested, go meet him, you won't be able
    to resist him.

    Last summer a litter of 5 kittens were born in Marlboro in the wild
    to a stray female. The female could not be caught (the folks in the
    neighborhood are still trying) but three of the kittens were
    successfully caught last week. My daughter took a darling black/white
    female with a teriffic personality but the other two are up for
    adoption. They are a male & female and need to be placed together.
    It seems that the male "watches-over" the little female and the
    folks who now are fostering them believe that the kittens would
    miss each other - and I agree.
    
    They are black/white, and have had their first set of shots. They
    have also tested FeLV negative. Great personalities!  They will
    be indoor-only cats.
    
    If you are interested - please contact Gene or Marie Quaglia
    at 481-6239.
    
    BTW- Gene and Marie are still trying to catch the remaning 2 kittens
    and the mother. They currently are trying to use a borrowed hav-a-hart
    but it looks too small. Maybe - if anyone has a large trap they could
    lend it to the Quaglias?

    Time is running out.  Oscar & Felix note 4.535 need to be placed before
    Thanksgiving or they will be going to a shelter.  I have been trying to 
    find a shelter that will keep them until they are adopted, however, it
    seems as though none of the "good" shelters are taking new cats.
    
    In the add I left out Felix's description.  He is a dark grey neutered male,
    2.8 years old.  He is a very handsome cat who loves to cuddle.
    
    At this point I am willing to separte them if necessary if I could find
    homes that would give them the love they need.
    
    If anyone has suggestions on shelters please contact me.

    Last night I was at Central Animal Hospital and was asked to enter a
    note in behalf of a very needy cat they have been treating.  Two weeks
    ago one of their clients brought in a Siamese cat that had been hit by
    a car.  He was badly injured and has needed a lot of treatment.  One of
    his legs is destroyed and must be amputated.  They have attempted to
    find the owner (if there is one) but with no success.  Following are
    the particulars on him:
    
    Breed:  Blue Lynx Point Siamese
    Sex:    Male
    Felv/FIV - negative
    Age:    Approx. 2 years old
    Will be 3 legged and neutered
    
    This cat has never been around dogs and needs to be an indoor cat.
    
    If someone out there has lots of love to give to a very needy kitty,
    please call Central Animal Hospital at (508) 537-0239.
    
    Thanks,

    Wanted:  Home for 2 cats (would like to keep together if possible but
    not necessary)
    
    Muffin is a long haired male orange and white cat, 10 years young and very,
    very affectionate.  Loves to lay on your lap for hours.  He has been
    neutered.  He is a large cat and very beautiful.
    
    Tabby is a short haired female tabby cat, orange and white.  She
    is 10 years young and also extremely affectionate.  Tabby has been
    spayed and is not as large as Muffin.
    
    They have been together since I got them and get along very well. 
    Unfortunately my significant other is allergic to them and so I must
    find them a new home.  I don't want to have them put to sleep. 
    They're very gentle and kind cats.
    
    Both are in perfect health.
    
    If you'd like to adopt one or both, please call me at DTN 381-0254, or
    at home at (508) 256-4842.  I forgot to add the cats reside in
    Chelmsford, MA.

4 year old spayed female, fluffy tan/grey with light eyes.  Perky and loving.
She has been fed outdoors as a stray for 2 years, and its time to find
her a permanent, loving, indoor-only home before she has to spend another
winter outside. 

She can be seen in Milford, NH.  She will be going to the vet for checkup/
shots on Nov 18.  

I have a photo of her in my office at MK1-1/A2 if you would like to see her.

Hi,

I hope I'm not inappropriately posting this here, but I'm frantically
looking for good homes for some very special cats that have recently
been displaced due to unfortunate circumstances (which have befallen their
owners). The necessary arrangements can be made to send these cats
anywhere in the U.S. -- though, East coast homes are preferred --
(to a good home where they will be a family member, and not just a pet
possession).

They're all spayed/neutered, updated on their shots, declawed (unless
otherwise noted), litter-trained, but are *exclusively* indoor cats (too many
diseases and dangers out there, plus they're defenseless without their
claws). And they're all extremely sweet, loving, real *people* cats, but
are used to living/get along with many other cats (and dogs). Also, if it
didn't work out for some reason, I would, insist on getting the cat back,
to place in a more suitable home. All of these cats love to be petted and
are very affectionate in response to being petted (are pretty much lap-cats).

If you know of any reliable, kind person who would give good
care to a cat, please ask them. Please send
e-mail to dberk@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu or call (415)692-7516. Btw,
these cats are currently living on the East coast, so I also have
East coast phone numbers. -- Thanks for any help, Dina

The following cats still need homes:

Nikki: female, DSH, white with a couple of black/grey spots on her back,
~11-12 years old, but in good shape, exceptionally fastidious/clean, sweet,
somewhat independent, but doesn't like if you lock her out of a room for a
long time -- meows longingly in this case, (in other words, like to be
with you when you're around (very endearing).

Tiger: female, very pretty, DSH, black and brown tabby, ~11-12 years old,
has a bit of a tick to her head sometimes, and is mostly deaf, but
extremely sweet. Tiger *does* have her claws, but never uses them. She's the
mom of my 3 babies (she took on 2 kitties that were found alongside their
dead mother, at the time her 5 were born -- so she wound up nursing 7
instead). She likes to be held over your shoulder, kind of like a baby.

Sophie: female, kind of small, but rotund, DSH dark tortoise shell, ~5 yrs.,
very sweet, moves her arms and legs around when you tickle her belly, walks
between your legs, likes to be held in your arms like a baby, extremely
sweet, kind of on the quiet side.

Pete: male, DSH, orange tabby, 10 yrs. currently has a bit of a weight
prob. but he was thin at one time (I think it's the environment he's
living in right now), very sweet, also moves his legs and arms around when
you tickle his belly, walks bet. your legs, likes to come up to you and rub
his head and face on your feet (even while they're shoed!). Pete's been kind
of hanging out with Sophie a bit lately, cleaning her, etc., so they would be
prob. be good in a home tog. if someone wanted 2 (for kitty companion-
ship).

Tipsy: male, DLH, black with some brown striping on his flanks, very
beautiful cat (nice full coat), ~11 years, loves to be petted, jumps when
you put your hand a few inches above his head and say "jump", very
endearing, and sweet.


Spunky: male, DLH, solid black, with kind of strange opaque blue eyes, ~5
yrs., very sweet, almost has a personality similar to a dog, he likes
to follow people around the house, and *loves* to ride the canister
vacuum while the house is being vacuumed; sometimes he gives "love"
bites, but doesn't break the skin; has quite a colorful and loving
personality. He might actually  do fairly well in a home with a *kind*
teenager, even.

Gertie: female, DLH, long beautiful grey coat, ~5 yrs., bit
hesitant around people, but is starting to come around, and will allow
herself to be held (on her terms), very sweet, but shy.

    7 month old male kitten.  Short haired & sleek.  Litter 
    box trained.  Have had 1st shots and wormed. 
    
    "Moo Cow" is Black and white.  Very playful and loveable.  Active.  
    He is a morning kitten - loves your attention in the a.m. Snuggly and
    affectionate.

    Cats are now living in North Attleboro w/my daughter and grandson.  
    He is allergic to the cats and we need to find a good home for 
    them.  I can have them brought to my house in Berlin (near 
    Marlboro, Hudson, etc.) and I work at MRO2-1/D7.

    I'm looking for a special home for my 14 year old cat.  Her name is 
    Tinker and she is a gray tiger, spayed and a very loveable cat.  I
    adopted her at 8 years old from a Digital couple who was moving to
    Germany.  Tinker gets along with dogs (we have two) and tolerates other
    cats (we have another cat who is 16).  
    
    We moved from a house in the woods and where we could let Tinker out quite
    a bit (although she does not wander far) to an apartment complex near
    Spitbrook road.  She is not so happy with the change in accomodations.
    
    Tinker needs a home where she can get outside in the morning and at
    night for a little bit.  She likes to use the outside, rather than a
    litter box.   She has an excellent temperment and is quite easy to
    take care of.  She would be fine with children but a bit too old and stiff
    to play or be "hugged".  She has a beautiful coat, all of her
    shots and is very healthy.
    
    If you are interested, please send mail or call 237-7041.

    then he's a very loving cat.  He likes to walk up on your chest and go
    nose to nose with you.  I would love to keep him but my husband has

    home.
    
    She was left in a shopping cart with a bowl, cat toy, food and bag of

    Smokey is a 5 year old neutered male cat.  He is also declawed.  
    He is gray/white in coloring, and loves to lounge.  He likes attention,
    but can be shy with strangers.  He gets along well with other animals.
    Because of he declawed status, Smokey must go to a indoor-only home
    where he will get lots of love and attention.  
    
    The person to contact is Ken Burstall at the following numbers:

    Ken's wife has recently developed severe allergies to cats and can
    no longer have Smokey in the house.  This is very hard for her and
    for Ken, as they LOVE animals very much and Smokey has been a much

    Priscilla (aka, Prissy) is a beautiful longhaired (actually medium
    length hair) blue cream and white 2 year old cat.  To describe her color, 
    imagine gray paint with cream paint swirled into it.  That's her major 
    color, with a white face, chest, belly, and four white paws.
    
    Prissy is a very loving cat.  She is not spayed at the moment, but
    will be spayed before going to a new home.  
    
    The reason that my sister needs to find her a home is because her
    siamese just isn't getting along with her at all.  The minute she sees
    Prissy, she attacks her.  This has been going on for over a year now,
    and my sister just doesn't feel it's right to keep Prissy locked up
    most of the day (she does get out of her room, but only for a few hours
    a day).  
    
    She will come with a litterbox, "condo" (carpet covered "house" that
    she likes to sleep in), and food.  All you need to provide is love! 
    Preferrably, she should go to a 1 cat home.  But if not, the other
    cat(s) in the house should be VERY accepting to a new cat.  I don't
    want to put her through this again.

    Two cats looking for homes by the second week of February or the people
    will send them off to a shelter.
    
    1.  Spade female. 2-3 yrs old.  Dark brown and black tiger cat named
    Pipi.   The friend of the owner says it will play fetch with you.  Take
    a piece of paper and throw it and it will bat at it, go get it and
    bring it back.  Sounds real cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    2.  Another not-spade female.  6 yrs old.  Tiger Gray cat named Misty. 
    She's very protective when her owner is upset.  If her owner is crying,
    she'll come up to her and rub against her.  
    
    Please contact Dondi Carenza at 508-752-1649 and leave a message on
    their answering machine. They are moving to a house which won't allow
    pets during the 2nd week in February.
    
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THEY ARE GOING TO GO TO A SHELTER IF THEY
    CAN'T FIND A HOME.
    
    Could you also let me know if you decide to take them.....I don't need
    the guilt.....
    
    They know I like cats and are trying(exceeding) in making me feel
    guilty...but I can;t take any more cats....I have 5 already and am more
    than maxed out.

    I am writing on behalf of a friend of a friend who needs to place 6
    cats/kittens she took in as a result of a house fire.
    
    Apparently, there was a housefire in Worc last week.  People & their
    pets were left homeless.  This woman, Sandy, agreed to take the cats in
    temporarily until the owners got settled.  Well, one woman found an 
    apartment but her cats are not allowed.  The other is still staying 
    w/friends and has basically washed her hands of her pets.
    
    Yesterday I rec'd a call from my friend and last night I was able to
    talk w/this woman, Sandy.  Here's the scoop:
    
    There are 3 cats (one is pregnant) and 3 kittens that need to be placed.
    
    Do you think one of them is inoculated?  Course not.
    
    Neutered?  What's that?
    
    It's a perfect example of irresponsible pet owners.
    
    When I spoke w/Sandy last night she was out of food and litter.  She
    called the Animal Rescue League and they want $3 for the first cat & $2
    for each cat thereafter.  This woman is on welfare, has no car and no
    money to spare.
    
    I went up there last night and gave her food, litter and enough money
    to cover the cost of the Animal Shelter if it comes to that.  I am
    placing this note in hopes of hearing from someone who might be looking
    for a new pet.
    
    The cats are beautiful, a couple black females and a gray male.  The
    kittens I believe are gray also.  All are beautiful and very sleek 
    looking with that 'pointy' Siamese/Burmese look as opposed to a round
    face, etc.
    
    She will be calling the Animal Rescue League again today and I'm going
    to call her around 3:00.  If you are interested, pls get in touch w/me
    before then.  As you've probably already guessed, shelters are maxed
    out right now and she cannot afford to keep them until there is an
    opening.

Looking for a good home for Gus, originally named "Aspargus".
He's a 12 yr. old tiger, with pretty large eyes.  He is neutered, 
has claws and is in good health (on the heavy side!).

He needs a home where he can go outside daily - he likes to hunt.
He would prefer to be the only pet, doesn't get along with dogs.
A country home would be ideal - he could even be a barn cat, though he
does like to be warm. 

** Gus should NOT be around small children.  He gets cranky sometimes and
   will scratch, if annoyed.

I've had him since he was a kitten.  He has had regular vet care over the 
years.

I am desperately hoping to find someone who can give him a safe, loving home.
He is temporarily living with my mom.  We have a 2-yr old who has had
one too many run-ins with the kitty (whom he loves dearly).

Please call me at dtn 237-7452 or at home 508-835-2959 if you or someone 
you know could give my friend a home.

Thank you,
Rachel

    
    
    My Piglet (kitty) had a litter of five kittens on New Year's Day.
    That makes them just about four weeks old and in about a month, 
    at least four of them will be looking for homes.  One is a darker
    gray with a white nose and double paws (both front and back), Three 
    are lighter grey tigers and the fifth is a dark tiger (brownish 
    rather than grayish) with an orange and white face (also with double
    paws both front and back).  Right now they all have blue eyes, but 
    that will change.  If anyone is interested in a kitten somewhere
    in the early March timeframe, you can contact me at
    home (508) 537-0806 or via email at imokay::blundell for 
    more information.  They're located just off Route 2 West, Exit 
    36 (Shirley Rd/Shirley Exit).
   

    
    The kittens in 4.582 are FeLuk *negative* and appear as though 
    they will have medium length to longer fur (except the darker tiger
    who will have short fur)
    

    
    RE .582
    
    The dark tiger with the orange and white face has been aptly named
    Tigger and has found a home with plenty of people, cats and dogs to 
    keep him (her?) company :-)
    
    The other four are still available and they are all adorable.  Just 
    ask Debbi Jancaitis.
    
    

    While visiting my Vet on Monday night, Central Animal Hospital in
    Leominster, I noticed two adorable kittens in a cage who are looking
    for a home.  They are brother and sister, 10 weeks old, mostly black
    with white paws, white whisker and white around mouth and onto under
    belly (short-haired).  One was very friendly and played with anyone
    who would pay attention.  The other was initially shy, but after 
    being coaxed came out the corner of the cage to play.
    
    If anyone is interested, please call at (508) 537-0239 to see if
    they are still there.  (Central Animal Hospital is located at 1029
    Central St., Leominster, Mass.)
    

    I just learnt that the another stray female cat desperately needs a good
    home. She is about 2 years old, short-haired, completely white, and very
    friendly. In meanwhile, she is in the Fitchburg Animal Hospital.
    I am not certain if she is spayed or not but, in any case, I would pay have
    her fixed.

    I'd like to help Norman from Fitchburg Animal Hospital to find a good home
    for this kitty as soon as possible. I own him it. He's helped me to replace
    many stray kittens as well as adult cats in the past. Many of those cats
    needed medical attentions which he provided on his own.
   
    I wish I could help by taking this kitty by myself but living in a
    townhouse, where only 1 indoor cat is permitted, I've already offended
    condominium association rules keeping two cats (one indoor/outdoor).

    If anyone is interested, please contact me at DTN 223-8301 or send
    E-mail to CPDW::Adamek. If you wish you may contact directly Norman
    at Fitchburg Animal Hospital (508) 542-5892.

    I know there is an endless line of abandoned and abused cats waiting
    for your help but 0maybe this one would be the perfect one who would
    bring you joy to your home.

    			All white Cat needs home.
    
    This kitty is all white, and I think it's a she.....although I can't
    be too certain as she is long haired.
    
    Anyway, I believe she has dark blue eyes, and she's very loveable.
    This kitty was dropped of at the barn where I board out one of my
    horses in Westboro.   I met her last nite after I finished riding
    and she proceeded to rub against my leg and my horses nose......they 
    kinda liked each other.....it was soo sweet!
    
    Anyway, this kitty is a house cat and appears to be cold and wants 
    a warm lap to sleep on.  Because she is long haired, and she's living
    in a barn, she's very dirty.  There are other kitty up there as well, but I
    know people are always looking for an all white kitty...so I'm posting
    this.   She is probably on the young side of a year.
    
    Call me at DTN 234-4678 or Sally at 508-366-9538 for more info or
    to set up a time to meet the kitty.
    
    
    This cat is very beautiful.  I know someone will be very pleased with
    her.

It is with great sadness that I must now find a new home for Naomi, my long-time
friend.  My wife has become extremely allergic to Naomi, and we can no longer
keep her.  

I adopted Naomi 8 years ago, when she was about 2 months old, and she has been
an endearing, loyal, playful friend ever since.  She is a very well behaved
cat, she loves to sit in laps and likes to crawl under the covers at night.
She *loves* to play, particularly with a leather shoelace--if you drag it
around, she'll chase it happily for hours.  She will even fetch things!  Throw
a small crumpled ball of paper, and (with a little practice) she'll fetch it
and bring it back to you to throw again.

She likes to go outside occasionally, but has been a strictly indoor cat for
years now.

She would like a home where she'll get a lot of attention.  She's very good
with children (we have an 8-month old who loves to play with her).  She lived
with another cat for years, and could probably be happy doing that again, tho
she tends to be more outgoing when there isn't another cat around.

She's all black except for a white stomach.  She's a short-hair.  She's quite
small (a good apartment-sized cat).  She's been spayed, but has not been
declawed (I trim her claws, which she doesn't mind too much, and that has worked
just fine).  She lives with us in Cambridge, Massachusetts now.  She's had her
checkups and shots regularly her whole life.  She could bring 10 or more years
of happiness to whomever adopted her.  Please help me find her a nice home...?

				Thank you,

				Jonathan

    
    RE: 4.582 
    
    There are still two kittens available.  I was planning on keeping 
    one, but it appears that I may have developed an allergy to cats :-(
    and may need to limit myself to a lesser number.  The two 
    left are a gray tiger male with blue-changing-to-gray-green eyes
    and a lighter gray mottled(?) gray female with blue/gray eyes. 
    
    Both are extremely friendly, litter-box trained and appear entirely
    healthy (Mom was FeLuk tested while pregnant (she was a stray I
    adopted))

    I am looking for a home for a very friendly indoor cat. She is a grey,
    short-haired, female cat who is approx. 7 yrs. old.  She has been
    spayed and would make a great pet for a young child.  She has had all
    her vaccinations and is in good health.
    
    Please contact me at Dtn: 264-7000 X963 or ABACUS::FLAVIN if you are
    interested in providing a good home to a deserving cat.

    We have two spayed female cats, Sugar and Spice, that we are offering
    for adoption.  They are tiger-striped common cats, Spice being mostly
    grey in color and Sugar being grey with splotches of white.  They are
    from the same litter and are about 12 years old.  Both cats are indoor
    cats, as they have been declawed on their front paws.  Both cats are
    healthy and up-to-date on their shots.  We live in Upton, MA.
    
    The reason we are offering them up for adoption is because our youngest
    daughter is asthmatic and has developed an allergic sensitivity to the
    cats.  We are committed to finding them a home, so we will not hand
    them over to a shelter where they may eventually be put down.  In the
    meantime, we have had to move them into the cellar where they are
    surviving just fine for the moment.
    
    Both cats, especially Sugar, are affectionate and talkative.  Being
    that they are from the same litter and have lived together for so long,
    we must ask that they be placed together.  Preferrably, they should go
    to a home with no other cats in residence.  I recommend this because,
    though they have never lived with other cats in our house, they
    certainly don't like our dog.
    
    If you may have an interest, please contact me at MR4DEC::DLABARGE.

Hello,

We must place our two cats up for adoption.  Shadow (a russion blue) and
Cooper (a tiger cat) have been with me since they were babies and before
I remarried.  Since remarrying, my husband has developed an asthmatic and
alergic condition to the cats and we must sadly find them a new home...very
soon.  My husband is being very patient, as I didn't want to give them to
the SPCA, but wanted to make sure myself they went to a good home.  He is
willing to wait it out with me.  But he is not doing the best, healthwise.

Below are the specifics on my babies, and if you have any interest or
desire to look further, please feel free to contact me at MVDS02::REEBENACKER,
or DTN 264-3169.

Thanks again and note the specifics below:


      		*where the cat is located (include the STATE!)

		The cats are located in Merrimack, NH

    		 gender (and if the cat has been neutered/spayed)

		2 males, neutered and declawed.

    		 age

		6 years old

    		 long-hair/short-hair

		One long hair and one short-hair

    		 breed

		Tiger Cat and Russian Blue (I am sure they are not pure breed)

    		 size		

		@ 10-12 pounds each

        	 endearing traits

		Both cats I have had since they were babies.  They are both
	        big mush balls and love to be held, petted, and cuddled.  They
		have been raised together and therefore, I would like to keep
		them together.  They are like brothers and wrestle as well as
	        look out for each other.

		Cooper, the tiger cat is really great with our one-year old.
		He let's her tug at him and pet him, and when he's had enough,
	        he just moves.  Shadow is more untollerable, but he just goes
		away from her and doesn't bother with her.  He does not 
		get angry with her.

	  	Both cats are indoor cats, they have been neutered and declawed.

    	We were at the Pet Food Giant this weekend (to pick up food and
        litter for our cats) and happened to look at the pets for adoption...
    
        There was one pair of kitties that really deserve a home -
        unfortunately we have too many cats now to take them in, or they
        would have left with us. 
    
        They are 6 year old neutered, declawed males, white with black
        markings. They apparently were given up for adoption 2 years ago and
        have lived in a cage for 2 years. They are well cared for, and have
        very sweet dispositions - probably both lap cats.
    
        If you want a pair of nice cats, or know someone who does, call me
        at DTN 323-4103 or 908-562-4103 or home 908-537-4737, and we'll put
        you in touch with the shelter where these cats are.

Hi,

My allergies/asthma have finally gotten the better of me.
I believe I've done all I can - air filters, cat shampoo's, drugs,
two-years of allergy shots, confining them to the basement, but
I am no better than when I was first diagnosed three years ago.
And now my daughter is showing signs of allergies.  So, with deep
sadness...

I must find a good home for my two beloved kitties:

They live in Laurel, MD - halfway between Baltimore and Washington.

Lemieux - 5yrs old, female, beautiful black long-hair with white markings.
          Very affectionate but takes a while to warm up to new people.
          (She once nipped my mother-in-law).
          A definite lapcat after she gets used to you.
          (Named after Mario, the hockey player.  If you're not a fan,
           the cat will also answer to the name Mew-Mew).

Darcy   - 4yrs old, female, grey short-hair (tabby?).
          The gentlest kitty I've ever seen.  Only 6 pounds, we rescued her
          from a shelter when she was a kitten.  Not a lapcat (because of
          the other cat we think), but loves to lay down next to you.
          (My wife named her after Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
	   But we usually call her "Binky" for some unknown reason.)

They are both spayed and have had all their shots.
They are both indoor cats and still very playful with hairbands, strings, etc.
Both eat regulary and have never missed the litter box.  Very easy.

Would like to keep them together but they tend to go their own way so it's
not a necessity.

I'm currently working at a customer site so contact me via
vaxmail at MAKREL::COOLEY or via allin1 at WARREN COOLEY @COP
and I'll get back to you.

Also, if anyone has any other suggestions of how I can place my kitties
please help me.

Thanks,
Warren Cooley

    MORK NEEDS A HOME
    
    Found wandering in the snow 12-6-93.  Stayed with the Humane Society
    until 2-10-94, when they decided there was no more room there for 1
    year old cats.  Mork has now been given temporary shelter and can be
    seen at:
    
    Pets Choice
    380 Daniel Webster Highway
    Merrimack, NH
    
    Call for more info:  (603)424-PAWS
    
    I've seen Mork and he's a big, fluffy bundle of cuddlyness.  I believe
    he has all his shots and FeL test so he comes with a seal of approval
    :-)  

    I think that Mork has been placed.  Pet's Choice is now sheltering
    Onyx, a small, black cat about one year old.  She's very affectionate
    and gentle.

    I'm still looking for a home for a 3 year old long haired black tabby
    with double paws in the front. This male cat has been neutered and 
    declawed in the front. He has all his shots. I am alergic to him so I
    can't give him any attention and neither does the rest of the family. 
    Can someone please take him and give him a good home, I can't imagine 
    that he's very happy at my house.

    Looking for a new home for my cat.  He is a very friendly
    neutered male, about 2 years old.  He is long haired and comes
    with his own brush and comb and loves to be brushed.
    His markings and color (gray & while) make me think he is 
    part Maine Coon, but he won't tell me for sure. ;-)
    He like to go outside and gets along with other cats.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I need to find a new home for my cats.  It's going to be one of the
    most difficult things I've ever done in my life.  I love my cats and
    I'm very concerned about how they'll adjust.
    
    I got them when they were about 8 weeks old, 3.5 years ago.  My sister
    works for a vet and an elderly woman brought them in to be euthenized
    (sp?). They were the babies of a stray cat she was caring for and she
    couldn't take on the three little ones.  They had worms, fleas and ear
    mites.  One of them seemed very sick.  They were very cute, obviously -- 
    what kitten isn't cute.  My sister called me and asked me if I could bring 
    them to the humane society so they would have a chance of adoption, rather 
    than putting them to sleep.  They were de-wormed, their little ears were 
    cleaned out and they were given a flea bath.  I took them home for the week
    end and nursed them back to health and they've been there ever since.  
    
    Their names are Angus, Mortimer and Cedrick (aka, V-head, Blockhead and
    Peepee - names my fiance gave them).  They are all primarily white with
    medium length fur.  Each has some gray on his head and two have a little 
    gray on their tail.  Peepee has only a tiny spot of gray on his head and 
    he has beautiful blue eyes.  Angus and Mortimer both have more gray on
    their head and they each have a blue eye and a greenish eye.  They weigh 
    about 12-13 pounds.
    
    They are current with all their shots (last annual shots were in
    August), they are feline leuk negative although not vaccinated for it. 
    They are neutered.  They have been indoor cats all their lives,
    however, they are not declawed.  They occasionally have a problem with
    hair balls, so I periodically give them Laxatone.
    
    They are timid with strangers, but after they are used to someone, they
    are very affectionate and loving.  They are very playful with each other
    and with me when I have the time to toss around one of their mice or
    other fuzzy little toys.  They "pounce" on each other and chase each other 
    around the house and wrestle.  They love to chase light spots.  They like to
    drink from a dripping faucet.  In the warm weather, they sit side by
    side at the screen door sniffing and looking at all the world.
    Sometimes they give each other a bath.  They are wonderful cats.
    
    Ideally, I would like to place them all together since they have been
    together from birth and they get along so well.  I think they would
    miss each other if separated.  I do not think they would do well in a 
    family with children since they are not used to them.  When children come 
    into my house, you can find the cats all huddled together under the bed.
    If they were to become outside cats, I would prefer to place them in a
    rural setting.
    
    I would rather not bring them to the humane society since the chances of 
    them being adopted at all (due to their age), let alone adopted together is
    so slim.  This may sound cruel, but in a way I would rather they be put to
    sleep than have an unhappy or uncertain future.
    
    My sister did not think too highly of Protectors of Animals because in
    her experience there is a high incidence of leukemia and feline HIV in
    those places.
    
    I haven't run any local ads yet.  I'm hoping someone here can help.
    
    If you want to adopt my cats, or if you can give me any suggestions for
    placing them, please contact me.

    I've got a variety of cats I'm fostering on my patio that could
    use real homes.  If anyone in the vincinity of San Jose, CA knows
    of a potential cat home for adult males and females, I'd be much 
    obliged if you'd share the information with me.  
    
    I don't know how many of these cats just have irresponsible owners
    and how many are living in the creekbed nearby.  None of the males
    appear to be neutered.  It's really hard to tell with the females.
    
    I have yet to get these cats tested and vaccinated but that is in
    the works.  I currently have one of my very own pending a visit at
    the vet and will begin working on the others after that.
    
    My 1st project:
    
    	Dolly Madison - all black, long-haired female with green eyes.
    	Very loveable.  Answers to Dolly, Kitty Dolls and Doll Cat.  
    	Would probably be best in a home where she is not severely 
    	outnumbered by dominant cat types.  She seems to end up as low 
    	cat in the cat cluster.  Or, she's so incredibly laid back she 
    	just doesn't care that she's allowing 5-6 other cats to eat her 
    	food.  I think she'd already be in my house if it weren't for 
    	Mac and Onyx guarding the door.
    
    	If/when I decide to move from my current place, this cat will 
    	come stay with me until she is placed.  There's no way I could
    	just leave her behind.  However, I really can't keep 5 cats in
    	a 1-bedroom apartment (assuming I can find one as tolerant as
    	the place I have now in a better neighborhood).
    
    The remaining cats are semi-feral but some are slowly coming around. 
    
    	Lacey - Cream colored (I think, the lighting is bad at night),
    	long-haired, classic tabby.  Eye color uncertain.  Is beginning 
    	to trust me.  Doesn't run when I come out to the patio.  Will 
    	actually eat while I stand nearby.  This is a major improvement.
    	Very beautiful cat.  Haven't gotten close enough yet to inspect
    	for male/female parts.
    
    	Tortie (aka Patches) - a small tortie-tabby, or maybe a patched tabby.
    	not sure.  Very shy.  Long-haired.  With a bath and a comb, this
    	cat would be very pretty.  Probably a female due to the tortie
    	coloring.  She'll come on the patio to eat while I'm there but she
    	takes the long way around so she doesn't have to get too close.  
    	I've noticed she is generally purring as she approaches me and the
    	food.  This one's got potential.
    
    	White kitty with the slight tabby marking on the forehead.  Well,
    	that's a mouthful so I've started calling him Ice-Ice Kitty.  He's
    	the friendliest little male and he's got gorgeous blue eyes.  He
    	doesn't appear to have the deafness that sometimes accompanies
    	blue-eyed whites.  He was incredibly bright white when he showed
    	up, now he's slightly dirty.  I suspect he has a home but don't
    	know who owns him.  He's not neutered and wears no collar.  He's
    	the sweetest thing.  He's usually all over me, purring, talking,
    	wanting his whole body rubbed.  Great cat.

     I need help locating a shelter for George. George is an
    orange tabby that was a stray. I took him in and nursed
    him back to health. I cannot keep him as I have a killer
    cat named Leo that constantly tries to get at george.
    Also, just had a baby girl and Between the baby getting
    99% of the attention and leo the other 1% there is no time
    for george. I was hoping someone could give me the name of
    a shelter that will not put him to sleep. If anyone is
    willing to adopt george I will supply 25$ worth of canned/dry
    food. George is a very affectionate cat who was probably abused
    when he was youger. I say this because when you first try and pat
    him he kinda pulls back like he is scared, but once he sees that 
    you are nice you cannot get rid of him. 
    
      any phone numbers for shelters would be appreciated.

    I have three adult Persians that need new homes. These cats are
    altered and are retired breeders. Have one male blue and two females
    blue and white bicolor and a tortie. All are people oriented and very
    lovable. These are indoor pets only. They have all shots and have very
    recently been Rabies vacinated. The range in age from two to five.
    Please, if you know of someone who would be interested, give them
    my number. Ask for John Scales or Sandy Solomon.

    As some of you know, I volunteer, along with Sandy Merritt, at the
    PB Shelter.  My husband and I just bought a house last October, so
    now I have the perfect excuse for fostering kittens - I'm on my
    second batch so far!!
    
    I've had a beautiful litter of half-Siamese babies since January,
    and they're just about ready to go.  There are two females and
    two males.  One female looks just like her mama - I think you call
    it chocolate point - she's a beauty!  The others are cream colored,
    two have blue eyes, one has yellow.  They have dark brown "points"
    I guess you could say.
    
    They're now 3 1/2 months old, have been tested feluk and feline AIDS
    negative, have been given all their shots including rabies, and have
    been neutered.
    
    Usually, when volunteers foster, they bring the kittens back to the
    shelter to be adopted, but I was fortunate enough with my last litter
    to be able to adopt them out of my home.  I'm hoping I can do the
    same with these babies.  As much as I love the shelter, it's really
    hard to leave the babies there after you've brought them up!!
    
    The shelter is asking a $75 donation for each cat to help defray the
    medical bills.
    
    I'd love for a Feliner to adopt one or more of these babies - I'd
    know they'd be going to a really good home!
    
    If you're interested, send me mail or call my DTN at 297-2137.  I'm
    taking Friday off as a vacation day, but will check my voicemail
    tomorrow and will try to log in.

    I have a one year old male neutered cat to give to a good home.  He is 
    long haired and is part orange tabby and white.  He has been mostly an
    indoor cat but has just started investigating the outdoors.
    
    Please send e-mail to:  XCUSME::CREWS.
    
    Thanks.

Due to new circumstances, I must part with my cat.

Violet, female, spayed, declawed, up to date on all shots, living in Clinton 
MA.  I'm willing to pay for a years worth of support.

Violet is about 5 years old (not really sure - she came from a shelter),  
She has lovely markings - white, brown and black (a kind of mottled brown). 
Her manners are excellent - no counter hopping, no table leaping, and finds 
the litter box every time.

She is not an overly affectionate cat - she comes to you, you don't just 
pick her up. But she loves to be right at your feet.  She apparently had a 
history of abuse.  She prefers to be the only cat in the family.  I don't 
know how she gets along with dogs.

Now for the bad news:  She has a history of vomiting.  It is not furball 
related, it is eating related.  It is only predictable to a point.  You 
cannot feed her the expensive brands of cat food!  It has to be the cheap 
kind (what a unique problem!)  I have not had the extensive testing required 
to pinpoint the ailment.  My vet has indicated that the treatment would 
probably entail steroids and as long as she was happy on cheap food - give 
her cheap food.  I must point out that even with the cheap food, she 
occasionally vomits right after eating.  I feed her on tile and have no 
problem.

If you are interested, please contact me at work:
508-467-7016 or DTN 297-7016 or send mail (mr4dec::mshamel).

Thanks

    
    Due to unchangeable circumstances I need to find homes for 2 wonderful
    cats:
    
     Patches:  female, spayed, declawed, long thick fur, tiger striped,
      4 years old, caught up on all of her shots.  Her fur is the hardest
      part about her - it is very thick and almost always matted - SHE
      HATES BEING BRUSHED!  Patches is a one-person cat.  She will strongly
      attach to one person and will try to sleep beside/on that person 
      whenever possible.  She does not like young children very much and
      will avoid them as much as possible.  She does love to play with
      other cats!
    
    Gummy Bear: female, spayed, declawed, short-haired, tri-colored
      tortoise shell, 5 years old, caught up on all of her shots.  Gummy
      is a very loving cat.  She has always believed that I was her mother
      kitty and will lie on top of me purring, kneading, and licking me.
      She will find me wherever I am to come sit in my lap.  She is also
      very fat!  She loves to play with other cats, and she will play
      fetch with you when she is in the mood.  She won't seek young
      children out but will tolerate a lot before she finds a place where
      she can't be reached.  Gummy also has an attachment to stuffed
      animals - they usually show up in our bedroom in the middle of the 
      night.  Her only real quirk is that the only food she really likes is
      the Lite cat food (hard to believe since she is well over 14
      pounds!).
    
    Both cats are currently located in Manchester, but I would be willing
    to travel quite a distance to find them good homes.  They both will 
    come with a car carrier, food bowls, and a kitty litter box (if
    needed).
    
    Thanks!

    			All white female Cat needs home.
  
  
    She has dark blue eyes, semi long hair,  and she's very loveable.
    This kitty was dropped off duriog the winter at the barn where I board 
    out one of my horses in Westboro.   I met her one nite after I finished 
    riding and she proceeded to rub against my leg and my horses nose......they 
    kinda liked each other.....it was soo sweet!
    
    Anyway, this kitty is a house cat and appears to be cold and wants 
    a warm lap to sleep on.  Because she is long haired, and she's living
    in a barn, she's very dirty.  There are other kitty up there as well, but I
    know people are always looking for an all white kitty...so I'm posting
    this.   She is probably on the young side of a year.
    
    Call me at DTN 234-4678 or Sally at 508-366-9538 for more info or
    to set up a time to meet the kitty.
    
    
    This cat is very beautiful.  I know someone will be very pleased with
    her.

	In my search for my AWOL kitty BJ, I have come across 2 year old 
	neutered male, orange tabby short hair kitty. He has survived the 
	winter outside and is looking for a loving home. He is in good health,
	is very very friendly, affectionate, and has a strong purrrr motor. 
	I would be willing to deliver him, and to provide a starter kit
	(kitty food, collar, litter box and litter and some $$ to help)
	(towards the vet checkup). He will do well in a single kitty or
	multi kitty environment. I would take him but already have 3 furfaces.


	Give me a call or send mail.

                             2 ADULT CATS NEED NEW HOME(s)
    
	VELCRO - 7 year old, spayed female cat.  Velcro is a very small, 7 lb.,
        white, black and grey tiger (?) cat.  She is VERY affectionate,
    very clean, a good hunter, and loves to be both indoor and out.  She is
    very healthy, has had all her shots, uses litter box if necessary, but
    likes to go outside.  She is somewhat "shy" around young kids and other
    animals.
    
    	SANFORD - 7 year old, neutered male cat.  Sanford is a large, red
    tiger, 14 lbs.  He is an affectionate cat, loves kids, is a good hunter
    and also loves to be both indoor and out.  He is very healthy, has had
    all his shots, uses litter box if necessary, but likes to go outside.
    
    The reason I need to part with these cats is because I am about to have
    my second child, my mom-in-law is going to be helping out and she is
    severely alergic to cats.  We also no longer have the time to give them
    the attention and affection they so badly want.  Please help us give
    them a good home.  We will help out with some of the initial food.
    
    I will be at home at 508-448-5829 after April 22.  If you are
    interested or have any suggestions, please let me know.  I do NOT want
    to send them to a shelter - only homes please.  Many thanks...

    This is a desperate plea!!  I am moving this weekend and have been
    trying to find a home for my cat for quite a while now with no
    success.  The place I am going into will not accept cats (the other
    tenants are very allergic), and I do NOT have a choice about moving.
    I have tried all the no-kill shelters that I know about (Framingham,
    Kitty Angels, and Pat Brody's) and none of them are accepting any 
    new cats.  I will be absolutely devastated if I have to put her into
    a humane society where she might get put down!  I am willing to supply
    cat food, cat bowls, kitty litter box, and whatever else is needed to
    find this cat a home!
    
    About Bouffetta (bouf-boo): She is a beautiful long haired tiger cat
     who is very petite (6 lbs).  She has a wonderful disposition and is
     very protective of the person that she bonds to.  She is 7 years old
     and is wonderful with kids.  She is as indoor-only cat and is
     declawed.
    
    If anyone knows anyone who would be willing to take her please let me
    know as quickly as possible.   If I can't find her a home by Friday I
    will have to take her to the humane society.  I would be willing to
    transport her anywhere in Mass or NH.

    Mother & daughter need homes.  Mother is a purebred seal-point siamese,
    10 years old, typical siamese disposition.  Daughter is fourteen months
    old, a cross between seal-point siamese and Maine coon cat.  She has
    short brown on brown coat with darker points with gold eyes.  She is a
    little shy and timid.  She also talks like a siamese.  Both are
    up-to-date on shots; neither are spayed.  With a new baby in the house,
    I don't trust these two... they get jelous of the attention the baby
    gets.  They would be good in an adult household.  We live in Lynn, MA.

We are looking for a home for my husband's cat.  I am hoping that a 
kind feline-lover will help us out.

She is mature (14 years) and in good health.  She has a brown/black/grey
striped fur and answers to the name of Mercury.  She is mostly an indoor
cat, but does go out on occasion.  She has recently learned successfully
how to cohabitate with other pets without too much trouble.  She is
friendly, and likes to cuddle and be pet on the head.  She still has her
claws, but seldom uses them.  We made her a scratching post, and she
likes that.  She lives in Fall River, Ma.

The reason for giving her away.... We have several dogs and are moving to
a new house.  Although the cat gets along with the dog, the dogs seem to
have other ideas.  They don't bother her, although they are curious.  They
seem to like eating her food and picking through her litter box for
'goodies'.  

To make this offer a little better, I would also give the new owner a
month's supply of cat food, and $120 for a year's food. etc.  Also, I
will deliver the cat to your house.

Please contact me if you can help me out.

    This is a special needs kitty - a three legged cat, who seems to hate 
    other animals.  She is currently being fostered by an aide at the Twin
    City Animal Hospital.  She was hit by a car, but still wants *OUT*.  
    She is black & white, I believe short-hair - the picture isn't real
    clear.  She will need to be an only pet (that lets most of us out, but
    we can hope), or someone who is willing to try to work with her and can
    isolate her.  The aide would probably keep her, but the conflict with
    her other animals is a bit much.  
    
    For more information, call the clinic in Fitchburg, Mass.  
    
    FYI, these people have fostered and placed a number of kitties before, 
    very successfully.

    		My friend and I brought a cute cat to Tufts last night
    	after catching him in a hav-a-heart. He is a young male brown 
    	tabby, who has had a pelvic injury, broken hock, and his tial is 
    	broken into an L-shape. All of these are healed, but he has 
    	limited mobility, can't jump or climb, and needs an indoor home. 
    	We named him Bentley. When the vet got him out of the trap, Bentley
    	purred and threw himself againt him. He's a very loving cat, and
    	very adorable. Other than his healed injuries, he is quite healthy.
    	Tufts said they can only keep him a day or two before they send him
    	to the Animal Rescue League, which in his not-so-perfect condition,
    	would mean instant euthanasia.
    
    	Someone please give this special little guy a home!! I'm up to 4
    	cats and my friend who caught him has 2 Newfoundlands and 30 birds,
    	so neither of us can keep him. You can reach Tufts at 508-839-5302.

    I hate this ... but I'm desperately looking for a home for my purebred
    Korat, Sterling Silver.  
    
    First .. the stats on her.
    
    Age:  7 years old
    Color:  Gray with a silvery sheen to her coat
    Eyes:  Green
    Sex:  Female .. spayed
    
    Distinct characteristics:  She has many of them.  She LOVES to play
    fetch with little celophane balls.  She is VERY affectionate, and loves
    children (presently living with a little girl one and a half years old. 
    She allows Melissa to LAY on her).  
    
    There are a few things about her that are kind of weird.  1)  she
    cannot be with another animal.  She hates other cats.  and we've just
    recently found that she doesn't like dogs either (see story below).  
    2)  She has this skin condition that comes around about every spring. 
    Basically you just need to bring her in to get a cortizone shot, and
    give her some pills for about 2 weeks.  3)  She is allergic to fish and
    the red dye that you find in ALPO foods.  I picking out food for her,
    it cannot have ANY fish in it.
    
    
    My sister-in-law has had Silver for the past 7 months.  She loves her
    and so does her daughter Melissa who is one and a half years old. 
    However, her husband really wanted a dog, so they decided to get one. 
    Now Silver is basically living upstairs in the toy room because she
    can't stand the dog.  She's petrified of the dog, and won't come out of
    the room.  So we've decided that it's best to find her a new home.
    
    Please, if anyone is interested in her, please contact me.  Remember..
    she must go to a home where she is the only animal.  Also, she MUST not
    go outside, cannot be declawed.  These are conditions that I insist
    upon.
    
    You can call me at home if you prefer.  (508)343-9611.  She will be up
    to date on all of her shots when you get her.  She also will come with
    everything you need (litterbox, bowles, etc.) including a cat
    scratching post.
    
    
    Thank you.

    Last Wednesday night my mother found a kitten crying outside under
    one of her bushes.  After she found the little guy and brought him in
    the house, she noticed he was having a REAL hard time Getting his
    balance and to walk.  She got him in the house and gave him some
    food, and put him in a box. 
    The next morning, he seemed a little bit better, but is still having
    a hard time balancing and walking.  It has now been five days, and he
    still has a hard time walking.  He is going to the vet tomorrow night.
    
    
    But what were looking for is the owners.  So.... heres the scoop!!
    
    He was found on Green Rd. in Raymond N.H. 
    I think its a boy, about 3-4 months old 
    black & White VERY cute and VERY loveable!! 
    He is not afraid of people or dogs .. 
    
    If you know of anybody who might be missing a kitty please let me know
    We are also putting a found ad in the Raymond paper.

    born St. Patricks day.  
    
    Don't know much else, but they are "cute" as all kitties are.  If you
    are interested, please give him a call.  
    
    Oh, the kitties were raised with two small children too.

    Free kittens to a loving family.
    
    My brothers two cats managed to mate before he got them fixed (brought
    them in to get fixed and was told the female was already pregnant), so now
    he has three adorable little girls he wants to find good homes for.
    
    The kittens are only three weeks old right now so it will be a least
    another month before they are ready the leave mom cat.
    
    Two of the females are calico and the other is gray with a couple of
    tiny brown patches about.  I saw them yesterday and they are cute (show
    me a kitten that isn't).  They were wabbling around, still a little
    unsteady and just starting to play.
    
    These cats are located on the North Shore.

  Mini-kitty is a sweet gray tabby that has been living in my neighbor's 
  yard for the past few weeks. He's a real sweetheart, and I'd like to 
  find a good home for him. I will offer to pay for his initial vet visit 
  if someone decides to adopt him. Here are the details: 
    
  Color: gray tabby, shorthair
  Gender: male, not neutered
  Size: Petite, I'd say around 6 pounds
  Age: Unknown, but I'd guess less than one year
  Health: Seems very healthy
  Location: Amherst, NH

  Other: Mini-kitty is one truly great cat. He's very friendly and likes 
  to follow people around the neighborhood. He loves affection and tries 
  to climb up your legs to get and give hugs. He seems to like other cats, 
  but I've only seen him around mine, who hates all other cats. 

  Various neighbors have been feeding Mini-kitty, but he really deserves a 
  comfortable and loving home. I'm sure he'd make a great pet. If you'd like 
  to meet him, please send me mail. 
    
  Thanks,

  Kate

If anyone is looking to adopt a Maine Coon, please contact Pet's Choice in
Merrimack, NH, at 424-7297.  I stopped in there yesterday, and the woman
behind the counter told me of a male Maine Coon that is currently looking for
a home.  She said he's a real character; he loves to ride in cars and sit on
your shoulder while you're driving!  As of yesterday, he was with the groomer
that works there, but he'll probably be residing in the store until he's
adopted.

I don't know anything else about the kitty other than the woman said he is
a truly wonderful cat and for me to spread the word as she'd like to see him
go to a good home.  If you're interested, please give them a call and I'm sure 
they'll fill in the details.

    My sister's cat managed a great escape during a winter snow storm and
    came home pregnant.  Just 4 weeks ago, she had 5 kittens.  I have not
    seen the kittens - but has anybody seen an uncute kitten or an uncute
    kitten they just didn't fall in love with.  There are both males and
    females (I'm not sure how many of each).  Besides cute, my sister says
    that they are also double-pawed.  The mother is a tabby multi-breed -
    or whatever - a cute mut cat.
    
    My sister (with the kittens) lives in Worcester - and ... if you
    contact
    me I'll put you in touch with her. 
    
    Did I mention they were free?
    
    p.s. An aside on cat ownership.  I think cats are the easiest (to take
    care of), most affectionate, warmest, most loyal, cuddliest companions
    I have two and I couldn't imagine my life without one.  I think even
    for kids, cats provide unconditional love, affection and they're
    playmates also.  
    Also, I think a person should also have a minimum of two cats.  I heard
    this story once - Imagine, living with an elephant.  Now, this elephant
    keeps you fed, and warm and acts truly loving toward you.  But,
    imagine, if you were this person wouldn't you still hunger for human
    companionship.  That's why I think each cat should have at least one
    other cat living with them and you. 

    
    	For more information on this story please see note #736 
    	or feel free to write me.
    
    	After many months of tests, medication, behavior modifiers,
    	and many conferences with Dr. Eric I have made the diffidult but
    	necessary decision to put Chloe up for adoption.
    
    	Chloe is a 7 year old blue/cream point Himalayan with big
    	blue eyes.  She has a very sweet but timid personality.  
    	Loves to have her belly	rubbed, loves catnip and chirps when 
    	happy.  The problem is that she's had urinary infection problems 
    	for over 6 months. Part of this is medical and part of it is 
    	behavioral.  Because she is so scared of Sasha, the infection 
    	won't go away and she rebelling by peeing on the floor.  She 
    	is currently on another antibiotic and a behavior modifier.  But 
    	the situation with her and Sasha is getting worse so the other 
    	problems are not improving.  Dr. Eric feels there is a good chance 
    	that Chloe would recover quicker and flourish in a one cat home.
    	It's not a guarantee but it's the strongest option I've got.
    	Right now she's too stressed out being around Sasha to be given
    	a chance to heal, physically and psychologically.  She's just
    	not getting the quality of life she needs and deserves.
    	
    	I will provide continued medical coverage until the behavior 
    	problems are under control.  I will also provide her food dish,
    	and her brush and comb.  I will also provide any of the special
    	food she's on (Hills S/D) if there's any left at the time.
    
    	If the problem continues for a lengthy amount of time and the
    	adopter wants to return her to me, I will take her back.  I
    	don't want her going to a shelter under ANY circumstances.
    
    	If someone in here knows of someone who would provide a good,
    	loving, patient home for Chloe, please let me know.  I will only
    	let her go to a really good home.  She's a beautiful cat and hasn't
    	had a great life lately so I want to make sure she'll be happy.
    	I'm sure Dr. Eric wouldn't mind talking to anyone who might be
    	interested and has questions. 
    
    	Chloe (and mom) resides in Nashua NH.  Please contact JJ
    	at GOOEY::JUDY or DTN 381-2253
    
    	Thanks

    	Oh, I should state that Chloe has just recently been updated
    	on her shots.  I boarded her while I was on vacation so they
    	gave her her latest rabies and mumblesomething.
    

    I am seeking homes for three beautiful cats:
    
    All Black female, Black with white paws and whiskers male, and tortoise
    shell siamese.
    	located:  Acton MA
    	two females, one male
    	Siamese female is six yrs, all black female is 5 and b&w male is 3.
    	They are all short hair
    	Black kitties are mixed breed
    	They are normal to small size
    	They love to go in and out of the house, use a litter pan is winter
    and outside in summer, spring and fall.  They are all very loving and
    well behaved, have lived around dogs and manage very well.  
    
    Due to unforeseen circumstances I must try to find homes for them as
    soon as possible either together or apart as they are all quite
    independent of each other. 
    
    My father has been on life support recently and we don't have any idea
    how long he'll be around.  I will be moving to the desert southwest
    where he and my mother live and don't know where I'll be living until
    the move.  I don't know what the alternatives are to finding homes for
    my feline friends.  So I'll start here.  They are all up to date on
    shots and have never had fleas or any other problems.  If you know of
    anyone interested in any of these cats please let me know. 
    
    Thanks

                         TWO Tiger Tabby Kittens (8wks.old)
    
    
    ONE is primarily light grey w/darker grey stripes. He has white accents
    on his face, chest, paws, and is DOUBLE-PAWED, blue eyes, pink nose.
    Very friendly and curious.
    
    The OTHER ONE is a true tiger w/ stripes from head to tail. His color
    is hard to describe, but is a mix of greys, blacks, whites, browns w/
    distinctive black stripes throughout. His under paws are completely
    black, as well as his nose, and his mouth is outlined in black. Very
    playful and feisty.
    
    
    These kittens were a surprise for my wife, which turned out to be too
    much of a surprise for her. I am looking for a good home(s) for them.
    They will have their first visit to the vets this Friday for a check-up
    and first shots. I also have A litter box, kitty litter and kitten food
    that will be included. The price.....NO CHARGE........FREE!!!!!!
    I just want them to have good, caring homes.

          I will be moving and need to find a good home for my kitty, Lady. 
          I'm not sure if she would be considered a kitten anymore, but she
          will be a year old on August 6th.  Lady has been spayed and
          declawed, so she would have to be an indoor only kitty.  She is
          very tiny, but absolutely beautiful.  She has the prettiest 
          markings that I have ever seen on a black and white cat (of
          course, I'm not prejudiced towards her at all).  She can be 
          extremely spunky and even more cuddly, and she is very curious.
          Lady has also had all her shots up to date.  And to her new
          owner, she would come with a water and food dish, toys, litter
          box, a carrying box for those trips to the vet's, and any leftover 
          food.  Anybody that sees her, will fall in love with her at first
          sight!
    
          

    What's my sister to do...
    
    Through a feline notes ad, my sister was able to place 3 of her cats
    kittens in (I presume) wonderful homes.  But...she has two left. 
    And...they sound like the pick of the litter.  Let me describe them 
    to you...
    
    They are both all black.  One female, one male.  One is long-haired
    with double paws, and the other is short hair.  They are now 8-9 weeks
    old.  
    
    My sister lives in Worcester, MA.  Contact me, via VAXMail if you
    think these cats sound wonderful.

    One 6-year-old spayed female -- indoor-only cat -- up for adoption.
    
    We adopted Toby from the Nashua Humane Society when she was 6 months
    old.  She's been a great cat; but since our daughter started
    walking, Toby has become terrified of her.  Our daughter doesn't
    abuse Toby -- Toby has never given her the chance to get that close --
    so Toby spends almost all her time hiding under our bed.
    
    We now have another baby, and Toby's stress reaction seems to have
    worsened.  We hate having to put her up for adoption, but she has no
    life right now, and I don't expect she'll be able to enjoy one again
    living in our house.
    
    She's always been an indoor-only cat; however, she has gotten all her
    immunizations all along.  She's never destructive indoors, either.
    
    Specifics:
    
    . Hair:  medium length
    . Coat:  tortoise-shell calico
    . Size:  fairly large
    . Has all claws
    . Fully box-trained
    . Is very accustomed to our dog; the two used to nap side-by-side until
      Toby took up residence under our bed.
    . Located in Amherst, NH.
    . Loves adults

    RE: note .625 ... Silver is STILL looking for a home.  Desperately. 
    She is now back at my house, living in one room as she no longer
    recognizes my cats, and was SO stressed out by the dog that she stopped
    eating.  The poor baby has been thought enough.  RIght now I'm treating
    her for her allergic skin which is also stress induced.  As soon as
    she's cleared (about a week or so), she's free to go to a warm loving
    home with no other animals.
    
    PLEASE ... if you know ANYONE who does not have another animal and
    would like a purebred, PLEASE contact me.

               **  2 black long hair 8 week old kittens   **
    
    My nephew recently brought home a litter of kittens that had been
    born in his friends cellar.  The mom was a stray and since the kittens
    were getting a little older, the mom would sneak out of the cellar
    and leave the kittens alone for quite awhile.   It broke my nephews
    heart to hear the kittens crying and to see his friend trying to feed 
    the kittens spagetti (teenager..only thing he had in the frig) so he 
    brought them home to my sister.  Donna has placed two kittens already 
    but we need help in trying to find homes for the other two.  
    
    The two remaining kittens are beautiful long hair black male (we
    believe) kittens who are approximately 8 weeks old.  These kittens
    are absolutely gorgeous and unique because their undercoat is
    a light gray giving them the appearance of smoke through their
    black fur!!  They are little balls of fur who are very healthy
    and loving.   They have lived with my sister and her family for
    2 weeks now so they are real socialable, loveable and looking for
    attention.   They are also use to living with multi cats. We would
    prefer to keep these two together because they are quite the loving
    pair...but if need be we will split them up.
    
    If interested please either contact me off-line at Willee::merritt
    or contact my sister, Donna directly at 508-343-8282.

Deb, I would like to enter the attached in #4, felines looking for 
homes.  I will do it if you just tell me how.  Or you may enter it 
if you like.

Thanks, Carolyn



With much regret I am placing this note to find a home for Lulu, who I 
got as a present for my daughter last Christmas at the Sterling 
Shelter.  Lulu was the friendliest cat there, attached herself to me 
and wouldn't let me leave without her.  My daughter is now allergic 
and I have taken Lulu in with my already large brood of 4 felines and 
1 black lab.

Lulu is about a year and a half, spayed, caught up on shots.  She is a 
short haired tiger, very small, very loveable -- she purrs constantly.
However she needs to be in a home where there are no other felines.  
She needs undivided attention, and should be with an older person 
who needs a companion.  She has taken to fighting my other cats for my 
attention.  One is so scared she rarely comes in the house anymore, 
only to eat and that just isn't fair to the others.

She is a wonderful kitty and I hope someone out there knows of a home 
where Lulu can go and receive the attention she needs, and can return 
it tenfold.  Please contact me if you know of a lonely soul in need of 
companionship.  (DTN 297-4918 or SALES::SMITH)

    I'm posting this for someone else who works in my building - for any
    Feliners that live in/near Maryland.
    
    Deena talked to me yesterday about the kittens, they sound adorable 
    (as I repeat to myself...the inn is full, the inn is full...). The
    mother cat and first batch of kittens were rescued by Deena's family 
    and homes were found for those kittens. However, "mom" cat had already
    gotten herself pregnant again, so this is the next batch of kittens.
    The "mom" cat will be kept by a family member and is being taken to the
    vet for shots/neuter/etc. 
    
    Anyone interested should contact Deena directly.
    
    thanks!

that looks like a long haired siamese.  I'm a dog person, so 
I have not idea what the sexes are, I looked, but I can't 
tell a thing!!!  

If anyone is interested in either of these kittens please 
call me a work DTN 339-5038 or at home (301) 441-4885.  I am 
located at the Greenbelt, Maryland office and I live in 
Greenbelt.

The mother was a stray that had previous litter of kittens 
last fall under the temporary police station where my 
sister-in-law works.  The mother and all the kittens 
survived this winter and homes were found for all except the 
mother.  After some major softening my mother-in-law decided 
to take her in temporarily....... well, she must have gone 
into season before they brought her home, and the rest is 
self explanatory.  She had the kittens under the comforter 
in my mother-in-law's bed.

The 2 remaining kittens will be taken to the Baltimore City 
SPCA within the next couple of days.  This is a no kill 
shelter.

    4 adorable white kitties w/ a red/tiger/buff/(dilute red?) spots.
    
    Mom is a calico, Dad is an orange and red Tom cat.
    
    Mom came with the house, and the new owners are not big cat folks, 
    but they let her stay.....and didn't really know about her sex.
    So she's off to be neutered soon, but they'd like to place the kitties
    ASAP.  Ready to go in 2 weeks. They are Douglas Mass
    call me at DTN 234-4678 for more info.

    If you can give Cookie a good home please contact me ASAP. She is 2
    years old, spayed, short hair, very affectionate. She needs a home by
    June 30. She is presently living with my daughter in Milford. My
    daughter is moving in with a woman who is alergic to cats, therefore
    she must find a home for Cookie.

    As you know, I've been fostering a momcat named Lucky and her one 
    and only kitten for the Pat Brody shelter.  A week later, we 
    introduced 4 orphans that Lucky took to immediately, and she has 
    been an excellent foster mom to these little waifs.
    
    Well, the time has almost come for them to go to new homes.  Here 
    are the descriptions: (all are shorthair)
    
    	(2) gray & white females	One is mostly gray with a bit
    					of white under her nose and on
    					her chin, white "boots".  The 
    					other has beautiful white markings 
    					on her face and white "boots".
    
    	(1) all black female		a real cutie
    
    	(1) gray & white male		Lucky's biological baby.  White
    					"boots", and a tiny white diamond
    					on his nose.
    
    	(1) dilute calico female	a beauty
    
    Two females will be going in for spaying on July 5, and the rest will
    be done on July 11.  They will have their distemper and rabies shots,
    and will be tested for Feluk.
    
    The shelter asks a donation to help defray medical bills.
    
    Hope some wonderful noter can take one (or two... or three..)

    Thought I'd give this a separate note.  The momcat I've been
    fostering (Lucky) is up for adoption too.
    
    Lucky is a spayed female, has had all her shots, including rabies
    and tested Feluk negative.  She's a beautiful longhaired dilute
    calico with a wonderful disposition.  Loves to sit in your lap and
    cuddle.  She's really laid back.
    
    Not sure of her exact age, but she's had at least two litters, so
    I believe she's at least 2 years old.
    
    She's been at my home for the past 3 months, and I'd really love
    to see her to go a good home rather than back at the shelter.
    
    Call me at 508-345-0877 after 6:00 p.m. or weekends, or send mail.

In the end of July, I will be moving to Australia.  Unfortunately,
due to quarantine procedures, we are unable to take our cats with
us.  This will be one of the toughest parts of leaving.

Hopefully you may be able to help us.  We have 2 extremely loved and
lovable adult, indoor cats.  These cats are extremely personable, 
talkative and really love contact and attention.  In short, they are
terrific, terrific companions.

Both are current on all vaccinations:

	Roo: 	Male, short hair, tan, cream and white tiger cat 
		7 yrs old ~ 9 lbs.

	Cleo:	Female, short hair, gray/black Burmese/tom mix 
		7 yrs old ~ 8 lbs.
		(and she has a bonus thumb!)

If you, or anyone you know might be interested in providing a loving
home, PLEASE let us know.  We could only dream of keeping them together,
since they have gown up as brother and sister (although not biologically),
however if this is at all possible........

Thanks so much

    10 year old large black and white cat named "George".  About 16 lbs.
    Neutered and de-clawed (front claws only).  Mostly white on his tummy,
    black with white patches on top.

    George is currently suffering from diabetes and hence require a daily
    insulin shot.  This is not difficult or expensive but it does have
    to be done regularly.
    He has also developed (possibly related to diabetes) a problem of
    not always using his litter box for urination. 

    Anyway, although George is a good friend, it's just not possible for me
    to keep him as I live alone in a rented, carpeted condo.

    George is a very friendly cat and he is still energetic.
    I think he would make a good pet in a suburban or rural environment
    where he could go outside regularly (he cannot go out at all where I
    live).

    My only other alternative is to have him put to sleep, but this is
    a hard decision for me to make as he is obviously still enjoying life
    and does not appear or act sick.

    If anyone thinks they might have a suitable environment for him, I would
    very much prefer to give him a new home.

    George currently lives in Nashua, NH and would be happy to meet you
    there anytime.

    Free Kitten.  Female, Gray and black.  Between 6-8 wks old.
     
    She is very lovable and likes to play.  I was out one day and heard
    her in the woods crying, she was dehydrated and very hungry.  She has
    been weened into food and is very healthy.  I would keep her myself but
    I have two dogs, two kids and a husband, thats plenty for me.  I
    hope that I gave enough information on her, I'm not to familiar with
    kittens.  
    If you need any further information please feel free to call
    or write.  I also have a new carrying case that I will sell for 10.00
    its brand new since last Friday (July 1st) I had to buy it to take
    her home.  She is also very good at night, sleeps all night, loves to
    cuddle.

    Moving overseas, need new home for family cat.
    
    "Stimpy" is just over 3 years old and practically grew up alongside
    my two youngest sons (ages 5 & 7).  In addition to being good with kids
    this cat is generally quite laid back; spends 90%+ of his time inside
    but enjoys exploring our immediate yard.  Declawed and neutered, light
    orange & white, short hair, approx 12 pounds.

    'Bear' is a year old grey with white chest and paws. Beautiful, loving,

    'Cookie' is a 7-year-old all black, gentle with children, laid back.
    
    Both are equally comfortable inside or out for days at a time. No

    Designer Cat is a stray that we've rescued but cannot keep because we
    already have four cats, two with chronic health problems,
    and limited resources (space, cash, etc.).
    
    Designer Cat is a beautiful strawberry blond with longish fur, hence
    the (temporary) name. Last Friday he went to the vet for neutering,
    de-fleaing, rabies & distemper vacinations, droncit for the tape
    worm, ear drops and cream for the ear mites. 
    
    Today, he is feeling splendid, having rested, feasted, 
    and even played with his toy mouse over the weekend.
    
    Very affectionate, intelligent, cooperative with humans and respectful
    and gentle with our four resident cats, he is perhaps two years
    old. He is quite handsome. Besides his glorious pale golden coat, he
    boasts long legs, an elegant body with plumey tail, and lime green eyes 
    and a salmon nose in a leonine face.

    I still have four kittens available that I've been fostering
    for the past 2 1/2 months.  A wonderful DECcie is adopting the
    all black kitten and taking her home tonight!!
    
    Still avaiable are:
    
    Dilute calico short hair female - 12 weeks old.  Has taken
    to sleeping on my lap lately - promises to be a wonderful lap
    cat when older.
    
    Gray & white short hair female - 12 weeks old.  Has a white
    "mustache".  Loves to cuddle and purr in your ear.
    
    Gray & white short hair female - 12 weeks old.  Has white around
    her nose and muzzle - and a cute little black nose.  Is very
    rambunctious and loves to play.
    
    Gray & white short hair male - 11 weeks old.  Has a white verticle
    stripe just above his nose, white feet and belly.  Cute little round
    face.
    
    All kittens are spayed/neutered (3 were just done today), have
    had their first distemper shots and rabies shots.  The shelter asks
    for a donation to help defray medical costs (believe me, you're
    getting quite a bargain...)

    A fellow DECcie has asked me to enter the following note:
    
    Unique - male
    4 years old (approx.)
    double-pawed
    orange/black/gray tabby
    neutered, declawed, all shots are current
    
    The reason for having to give up Unique is because of his owner's baby. 
    She has a 5 month old son who was diagnosed a month ago with
    hemophelia.  Unique is very playful and his owner is in fear of his
    accidently scratching the baby.  This baby has already begun having
    bleeding problems.
    
    Unique has been brought up in a loving home and has a wonderful
    personality.  His owner hates to give him up but these circumstances
    are out of everyone's control.

    I recently moved from the UK (Reading office) to the USA.  Shortly
    before I left, I befriended a young, black female cat.  She has been
    abandoned (!) and needs a good home. (A woman in my building is looking
    after her, but is soon moving to Australia and cannot continue this
    care).
    
    This cat is about 6 months old, pure black with georgeous green eyes. 
    She is a sweet, gentle, affectionate cat, who loves to sleep in laps. 
    When I first met her, she was understandably anxious and just wanted to
    eat and sleep in my lap.  As she became more confident, she became
    curious and playful.  She would be an ideal pet for a family or a
    wonderful companion for an elderly person.
    
    This cat lives in Henley-on-Thames (near Reading).  If you would like
    more information, call me at DTN 244-7791 and I will put you in touch
    with Juliane, her temporary 'caregiver.'
    
    This cat touched me deeply.  She is trusting and has faced constant
    abandonment.  (I was unable to take her to the USA, as I already have
    a cat here and both of us are living with a friend right now).  I think
    about her often and hope I can find a good and permanent home for her.
    
    
    This cat touched me deeply.  She is so trusting and has faced constant
    aba

    Nashua, New Hampshire, USA.
    
    
    We are moving back to New Zealand to be near my parents (my father had
    a cardiac arrest last year and was lucky to survive), but our three
    cats can't come (six months quarantine in Hawai, costing LOTS, required).
    
    So, we are trying to find good homes for them.  We have a probable
    home for one, we are still looking for a home for the other two.
    
    They are both healthy, current on all vaccinations, and have always
    been indoor/outdoor cats with their own cat door:
    
    	Minx:	Female (neutered), short hair, black apart from a white patch
    		underneath.  8 yrs old, ~10lbs.  Usually aloof, likes a
    		brief period of attention before she eats.  Tends to avoid
    		visitors and children.  
    
        Ginger Tiger:
    		Male (neutered), short hair, ginger (surprise).  8 yrs old,
    		~17 lbs.  Extremely sociable, likes and tolerates children
    		including toddlers.  Each evening he goes to sleep with my
    		10 yr old, and she is really upset about loosing him.

    I've sent you a mail message. I'd love to take her, if she's happy to
    put up with the two cats I already have.

    
    Two motherless kittens, approximately 6-8 weeks old, need a home.  We
    have 5 cats of our own (all neutered, shots, etc) but cannot keep an
    additional two, as much as we'd like!
    
    Kittens are long-haired - one is orange and gold, the other is a
    cocoa-brown/black with silver hairs on its paws (looks a little like
    Chewbacca from Star Wars!)  Kittens have been scavenging at a neighbor's 
    home for about two weeks.  The neighbors have no pets and don't want
    any - and were going to send them to the pound.  They're a bit skittish
    yet, so I haven't been able to check for gender.  But they are responding
    to affection with loud purrs and playful behavior.  I'm sure they will be
    gentle and loving when they are over their fright and no longer need to
    forage for food.  
    
    We can't see sending two beautiful kittens to the pound if we can find 
    them a home.  It would be lovely if someone could take both, since
    they sleep curled up together and I'm sure would miss each other if
    separated.  
    
    I'll look elsewhere in this notes file for a "no-destroy" pet shelter,
    but meanwhile I'm hoping that some kind cat-loving person will offer to 
    give them a good home.
    
    Please call me at DTN 297-4027 or at home at 393-3207 in Northboro if
    you are interested in adopting these cute babies.

    them yesterday, but have responded beautifully to affection and
    petting.

    Westboro, MA
    
    We have sold our house and are moving to a small apartment.  No
    pets are allowed.  This means that our 3 cats - mother, son and
    daughter, will need a new home.  We are very sad that we will be
    disrupting their lives, and especially that they will probably
    not be able to stay together.  All three are indoor/outdoor cats,
    but especially outdoor in the warm weather.  We live on a corner
    lot that backs up the woods, and our cats love the wonderful 
    freedom they have been exposed to.  Below is some information about
    each of them.
    
    Sophie - the Mother cat.  Sophie is about 2-1/2 years old, and is
     white and grey - very nice markings.  Sophie was dropped off at
     our house at about 7 weeks, and was very, very skittish.  She 
     loves to be brushed, and will nuzzle in your neck when she 
     feels in the mood to be held - usually first thing in the morning.
     In the cold weather, she likes to lay on my bed.  She is a very
     well mannered cat, and was a wonderful mother with her kittens.
     I am especially fond of Sophie.  She is a quiet lady.
    
    Lulu - is just that - a lulu.  She was the most aggressive of the
     litter - always the most hungry.  She is tiger with a lot of beige.
     She is affectionate, smart, likes to play, and loves to be petted
     when she settles down.  She loves cream cheese, and sash-sheys
     on her tip-toes when she wants something to eat.  She is 14 months
     old.
    
    Frankie - is the son/brother, and is black with a white chest and
     white paws.  He has longer hair than the other two.  Frankie is 
     very different.  He has a very strange meow, and purrs very 
     loudly when he is being petted.  He is very nervous in that he
     runs away at the slightest noise, or if someone walks into the
     room when he is eating.  He comes into the house to eat, but then
     turns around and asks to go out again.  My husband has to pick him
     up and put him in front of his food, still holding him until he
     quiets down to eat something.  He has a very small appetite, and
     wants to be out all the time in the warm weather.  In the winter
     he likes to stay in and sleep.  He is affectionate, and is a sweet
     cat.  He was the quietest of the litter, and all the other kittens
     walked all over him to get to the mother to eat.  He loves to hunt
     mice, and brings them up on the deck as his gift to us.  He is 
     very lanky, and pretty.  We love him.
    
    All the cats have been neutered and have had their shots.  If anyone
    has any suggestions as to how I might find them a loving home, please
    contact me on DELNI::GARRETT, or my home phone is 508-366-6068.

FREE to a good home...

black male kitten
about 5 months old
has had all shots and a checkup
box trained
short hair, may be part Siamese or Burmese
very freindly and playful

He's located in Worcester, MA; can be picked up in Marlboro with sufficient
notice!

    Well, the potential home for Dolly has fallen through.  She can't 
    take her for almost a year now.  So...here's my latest "Up for 
    Adoption" list.
    
    Unfortunately, due to lack of finances, none of these cats has been
    tested, neutered or vaccinated yet (although it appears that Dolly
    may have been spayed at some point in her life).  These cats are
    currently being fostered on my patio.  I need to move to a new 
    apartment and would like to find them all indoor homes before I
    move.  I already have 4 cats of my own and though I'd love to keep 
    the foster cats too, I'm finding it difficult enough to keep 4 in
    a tiny 1 bedroom apartment without adding 3 more (though I would 
    never leave them behind if unplaced when the time comes to move).
    
    
    Dolly Madison	- All black, longhaired female; green eyes; very
    			  sweet; has been living outdoors for a while so
    			  is not much of a lap cat; does love to be 
    			  petted and have her head/ears/chin scratched
    			  though; approx age: ? 2-3 years is a guess.
    
    St. Ashlar		- All white, shorthaired male; ice blue eyes; 
    			  another sweetie; very demanding of attention;
    			  is dying to be indoors; approx. age: 1 year.
    
    Joey Bishop		- Brown tabby with white, shorthaired male; green
    			  eyes; very lovable; chirrups when you converse
    			  with him; approx. age: 1 year.
    
    
    When finances allow, all kitties will be tested for leukemia/feline
    aids, then vaccinated and spayed/neutered.  Hopefully, potential new
    owners will be able to assist with this.

    On 6/21/94 a stray cat and her 4 newborn kittens were discovered in
    a Manchester, NH garage.  My friend took them all in and cared for
    them.  She now needs to find homes for the mom and kittens.  Following are
    their descriptions:
    
    "SNOWBALL":  1.5 yrs. Long haired Solid White, sweet, affectionate,
    		amber eyes.  She is FELEUK Negative and will have her shots
    		and be spayed on Aug. 8.
    
    "SMOKY":     6 wks.  A big puff of long grey and white fur.  Loves
    		people, is gorgeous - has calendar photo potential.
    		Not sure if male or female.
    
    "HELEN":     6 wks.  Solid white short haired.  Probably female.  May
    		be deaf.  Double paws, sweet and playful.
    
    "FACE - AKA Ricky":  6 wks.  Solid white short haired.  Probably male.
    		Pink nose, has "sad" eyes, loves to play.
    
    "HONEYSUCKLE - AKA Lucy":  Long haired, Honey and White, double paws,
    		Roly-poly.  Not sure if male or female.  A beauty!
    
    
    Wish I could take one!

    A friend of mine (SERP'd DECcie) was handed a kitten by one of her
    children before they move to Florida (and can't take the kitten,
    of course)....
    
    This kitten is roughly 10-15 weeks old, cute as a little bug; her ears
    have the lynx-like black pointy tips, her fur is "tufty" as if she'll
    be semi-longhair when grown; she has double front paws, and my guess is
    there's some Maine coon in there somewhere....
    
    Anyway, the roughest part of this is that my friend has cancer and is
    undergoing Taxol (chemotherapy), which leaves her very weak, in pain,
    and debilitated -- she doesn't want to give the cat away to just
    anyone, but she is not able to care for it the way she would want to.
    
    She's asked me to check in here and see if anyone in this conference
    knows someone who could find a home for this little furball.  Please 
    send me mail at BABAGI::YOUNG if you know of somebody who could take
    a very energetic bundle with a HUGE purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ........
    
    Thanks!
    anyone

    Without your first name, location, etc. it's hard for anyone to know
    where the kitty is located and, therefore, if they are in the area of
    the kitty.  There are alot of Youngs in the DEC phone book and VTX no
    longer has a page for looking up node locations.
    
    Please give a location/state for the kitty.

    UPDATE:  Only the MOMcat remains of these adorable felines.  She is
    getting spayed and shots on the 8th and will be available for adoption
    shortly after!
    
    Please contact Joyce Stickney in 4.675 for an opportunity to check out
    the Mom.

    re:  4.678
    
    Sorry, guess I thought I was in E-mail with header and all!
    
    Kitty is in Dennis, Mass (on the Cape) ... my name is June Young, and
    I can be reached on BABAGI::YOUNG, or DTN 237-2429.  (Kitty is not at
    my home, but at my friend's.)

Unfortunately, I cannot keep the kitties from note 4.672.  
We have 2 dogs, and its not working.  One is an Alaskan Malamute and I have been
since told by vets and breeders that she should not be trusted with the cats.
With both of us working, we do not want to keep them prisoner in a bedroom.

I have a picture in my office.  MRO2-1/C15 and my husband Scott will have one
tomorrow.  He works at MKO1-2.  If you want to see them in his office, his # is
264-4304 x7836.

They are especially cute and could easily come to love people.

My node is MR2MI1::neri

I will need to place them together.  They have had their 1st shots and physicals.

They are free to a good home.

Thanks,
Diane

    I have another litter of kittens from the Pat Brody Shelter that
    I've been fostering.  They are 8 weeks old now, but won't be ready
    to go until September 2.  These babies' mom got killed, and the
    people in the area found them in a woodshed when they were only
    about 3 1/2 weeks old, hence they're named the "Woodshed Crew":
    
    Orange tiger male:	He has shorthair and tiger stripes.  Is more
    			laid back and independent of the others.
    
    Orange classic
    tabby, male:	He also has shorthair, but has the classic
    			tabby "swirling" - really pretty.  He's a lovebug
    			and loves to cuddle.
    
    Brown & white tiger,
    female:		She's the biggest of the crew, and also loves
    			to cuddle and sing in your ear.  She's shorthaired.
    
    Black & white classic
    tabby, male:	This little guy is the smallest of the litter,
    			had medium-length hair and gorgeous classic
    			tabby swirls.  
    
    Torbie, female:	If there is such a thing, this little girl
    			looks like a mixture between a tabby and a
    			tortie.  Someone said she's a "golden" torbie.
    			Her markings are very unique - a mixture of
    			ginger, brown and swirls of white.  She's the
    			most playful of the bunch.
    
    When the kittens are ready, they will have been spayed/neutered,
    tested negative for FIV/FELV and had their first shots.  The shelter
    asks a donation to help defray the medical bills.
    
    Call me at work at DTN 297-2137, send mail to VLNVAX::PGLADDING,
    or call me at home after 6:00 or on weekends at 508-345-0877
    if you're interested in one (or two or more) of these babies.

    A dear friend of mine is very ill and can no longer care for her two
    cats. I have promised to find homes for them. I'm not in a postion to
    keep them myself as I have two sick, old dogs (who are very expensive
    to keep healthy) and two young kids (equally expensive to maintain).
    
    The two cats in question are both 7 years old, female, spayed, have
    their shots, and have had regular dental work. One is a smallish cat,
    light silver, medium-haired, outgoing, and an excellant huntress. I
    don't know the particulars of the second cat, other than she is
    somewhat timid.
    
    These two cats don't need to go as a pair. In fact, they don't really
    like each other.
    
    If you can help my friend out, please let me know. The cats will be
    staying with me as of tomorrow night (8/11) in Northboro, MA.

  We've been acting as foster parents to six kittens and their mom.
  They're from the Pat Brody Shelter, but we've been caring for them
  in our home (Clinton, MA).

  They will be available for adoption around 1-SEP.  By that date they
  will have had all their shots and will be spayed/neutered.
  The kittens will be approximately 4 months old at that time and the
  mom-cat is estimated to be 1 year old.

	Mishu  -   female, orange & white tabby with BIG orange eyes
	   ** she's been a great mom to the kittens **

	Bert   -   male, orange/buff, tabby
	   ** he loves playing with his brother Ernie **

       	Ernie  -   male, bright orange, tabby
	   ** he's small but true to his color - bursting with energy **

	Freckles - female, dark tortie
	   ** she has the loudest purr I've ever heard **

        Spot   -   male, mostly white with an orange tail and
		   a couple orange spots
	   ** this guy loves to be held, he melts in your arms **

        Lily   -   female, gray&golden tiger
	   ** a sweet face that belongs on next years kitty calendar **

 	Olive  -   female, calico with extra toes
	   ** she's so cute, she was the first to be adopted **

    I need to find a home for this kitten.
    
    Cute, well behaved,quiet.
    
    Here is the story and information
    
    	I was meeting my sister to pick up her 2 kid for a visit.  On the
    way they stopped for gas and while getting the gas a car pulled into
    the station with a man and a little girl (look about 6) she opened her
    door and dropped the cat and pulled away...needless to I got stuck with 
    the kitten.  I have nothing against the kitten I have had it for a week
    to get to know her but I already have 2 dogs and 1 cat and that is my 
    limit.  This kitten is wonderful...
    
    	info on cat	-I think it is a female
    			-money cat (black,white,tan,orange)
    			-Never meows
    			-good with young children (my son is 1 1/2)
    			-looks to be 2 to 3 months old
    			-she has adapted well to a new household, this
    				would make a great 2nd cat (very passive)

    My neice is desperately looking for a home for her cat.  Due to
    circumstances, she had to move back home and her mother's cat HATES her
    cat.  She will have to stay at home for a while, so they decided that
    the best thing to do is to find another home for Prissy.  
    
    Here are her stats:
    
    Age:  Approximately 2 years old
    Sex:  Female.  Spayed
    
    Colors:  She's what they call a blue/cream with four white paws and a
    white chest.  Imagine a bucket of gray paint with cream paint swirled
    into it.  That's the main color of her body.
    
    Hair:  Semi-long hair.  Very thin coat.
    
    Personality:  She's a major purr-box.  LOVES to be petted.  She's
    really a sweet little baby!
    
    If there's ANYONE who's interested in taking Prissy, please contact me
    as soon as possible.  Right now she's living in a very small room by
    herself because my sister's cat fights with her any times she sees her. 
    It doesn't matter if you have another cat.  She's gotten along with my
    sister's other cat fine.  
    
    Thanks.

    Beautiful Black and White Tuxedo style cat needs a home....
    
    Lady Tux (due to her markings) is in need of a warm and loving home. 
    She is a stray that I have been socializing and is now ready to have a
    home of her own.  
    
    Lady had *HUGE* balls of fur all over her when I first saw her.  She
    looks like she has been on her own for a while.  She is a young adult
    spayed female, approximately 2 years old.  She has semi-long hair, a
    white chest, white front and back paws and white whiskers and
    eyelashes.  She has striking Almond-shaped irridesant green eyes.  Now
    that I have gotten 95% of the mats off her, she really is a pretty cat.
    
    I have socialized her to the point that she now looks for my car, runs
    over to me when she sees me, rubs around my legs for attention, would
    rather I pet her than eat the food I have just put down, shows me when
    she wants to play and has even acknowledged my next-door neighbor as an
    OK person.
    
    I already have 6 cats (3 over max) and cannot take another one in. 
    Besides, my Thunder is already stressed to the max with the addition of
    the 2 Persians...
    
    Lady Tux currently lives in Suncook NH.  I will make sure that she has
    a rabies test and shots before she goes to a new home.  With winter
    coming I would really like to find her a home before the cold weather
    sets in.
    
    Is there anyone with only 1 cat that would like to give this sweet Lady
    a home??  I know she is OK with other cats because she is always on my
    railing *talking* to my indoor-only kitties.  I did take her in one
    night and kept her in the back bedroom.  I did this to see if she was
    litter-box trained.... she is..
    
    I can be reached at work or at home..

Hi,

I am placing this note for my father, who is looking for someone to take in
a cat that has tested positive for FeLV.  

Here is a history:  My parents currently have 7 indoor cats, all of which they 
have rescued.  They also have approximately 6-8 other outside strays that they 
feed and provide shelter for.  They have all, at one time or another, been 
trapped, neutered and given their shots, then re-released.  Well, a new 
addition recently showed up to their outside pack.  One of the outside cats had
a litter of kittens two years ago.  They trapped and took in two of them, but 
a little black and white one disappeared before they could trap him.  They think
this is the one they missed.  They have named him Timothy.  He is extremely 
affectionate and loves human contact.  He comes when called and was such a 
love that they decided to bring him in and try to find a home for him.  He is 
currently in the side hallway, which they use as sort of a quarantine area.  
They brought him in to be neutered and tested, and just got the bad news that 
he was positive. 

This cat needs a home where he will be an only cat, or where he can share a home
with another FeLV positive cat.  My parents live in Connecticut, but if anyone 
would like this cat, I would be willing to transport him up to the Central 
Mass area.  

I can be reached by mail at Subpac::Mulvihill, 
or you can try me at dtn 225-6567


Thank you,

Nancy Mulvihill

    I have two female cats that are 4 years old, declawed and spayed. They need
    a home right away. My daughter has developed a terrible allergy to the cats
    and she cannot even stay in the house without getting sick.
    
    I live in Massachusetts, north of 495. Does anyone know who would like
    these cats. I would prefer to keep them together but if I have to
    separate them I will.
    
    I called the MSPCA and they said they could not guarantee that the cats 
    would not be put to sleep. I just cannot have that happen.
    
    If anyone out there would like them or knows anyone who would please
    send me mail on ICS::COULOURAS.
    
    Thanks.
    
    

    
    Just three weeks ago we found a mother and her 3 kittens 
    abandoned at a deserted house on our street.  They were thrown
    a maggot ridden ham bone and an empty cardboard box.
    
    We've been fostering them now for 3 weeks and the local shelters
    are still full.  Please help me find them a home ... 
    
    Mother is young, maybe less than a year.  Affectionate and 
    gracious personality who has taken wonderful care of her babies
    through extreme circumstances.   She's all black, with a tiny 
    white gruff on her neck and has double paws.  Very sleek long face,
    and green eyes.  She's really a striking looking cat.
    
    The kitties are 2M and 1F, all tiger.  The 2M have doublepaws -
    and are as cute as ever.

        Free cat to a good home (a farm would be ideal).  She is white with
        Gray markings.  Goes potty outside, no need for litter box unless
        leaving her for a weekend or so.  She has a wonderful temperment
        and loves to be loved.  She just had 3 kittens and the people who had
        her before me were moving to Germany and they were going to have to
        board the mom and her 3 kittens.  I took them into my home so they
        wouldn't have to be separated, I could also make sure that the
        kittens were fed well by mom.  The kittens are just about ready to
        go now and since I have 2 dogs, two kids, I really need to find a home
        for her or she will have to be placed in a shelter which I
        definitely  don't want to see happen because she is such a wonderful, 
        pretty, loving cat.

My former spouse has our two cats (Holly and Felix), and she's going to be
moving at the end of this week.  She plans to take Felix, but unless I can
find a good home for Holly, she'll be putting Holly "to sleep".

I'm currently living in a Hotel and can't take her myself, but the thought
of having her killed is absolutely heart wrenching.

Holly is a petite female Calico. She's a clean indoor cat, and has an adorable
personality.  We got her as a kitten the year we were married (1980), and
I think that the former Mrs just needs to purge herself of that memory.

I have until this Saturday morning to find a new home for her, and I'm feeling
more than just a bit desperate.

Please help if you can.

Thanks,

 --Gordon

    We try to rescue 6 stray kittens living in woods at back of our
    townhouse in Leominster. So far, we got 2 of them and found the
    home for them. 
    
My husband captured the another kitten a last Friday. It just walked into 
our family room in basement. I wanted to get them all in and then to close a
door but my husband said it better to have one than none. Well, this one is an
orange kitten that we wanted to keep. My husband agreed to have it but under
one condition. It must be a female. We currently have two adults cat; one is
approx. a 13-year old female and second is a 6-year old tomcat. Both our cats are
not too much friendly to each other but they've already found a way how to live
together. We feel that our tomcat (Bobik) needs some younger mate to play with.
But we've been wrong. He doesn't appreciate a presence of the kitten at all. The
kitten follows him everywhere he goes because it looks for a friend, but Bobik
looks already tired of it. Above all, I am suspicious that the kitten is a male.
I haven't told it to my husband yet but I am more sure every day. Also, our
tomcat Bobik behaves differently than if we have a kitten (female), captured
earlier, at home. He (Bobik) has started spraying things at home about year ago.
And now, when we have the kitten at home he sprays even more. As if he wants to
let it know that it's his territory. This is a reason why my husband is against
to have another male at home. 

I guess, that the best for all of us is to find a home for the kitten. Somehow,
I don't like the idea to take it to the NE shelter even if they did a good job
with the kitten (female) captured earlier. It would be better if it would go
directly to the new home. It is about 4-5 months old, an orange tabby with white
paws and a bosom. I think it will be a kind of long-haired because its tail is
growing very furry and fluffy. It has very nice brown eyes. It is very clean (no
flies, ear's mites etc.). It has been a leader of the rest of kitten. It loves a
company of cats that would be willing to play with it, sleep with it, and cuddle
with it. It's still a little timid of people but it's great with cats. But, if
you consider that it'd lived outside until a last Friday it did a big progress.
It eats a lot, walks around house, play with my cat if he likes it, even play
with me but it is afraid to be pet yet. It just sniffs my hand, plays with my
toes and so on. It loves any company even people's. If one has a time to talk to
it and play with it it's happy. 

If anybody would like to adopt it or if anybody knows people who want
to get playmate for their cat please let me know. I will help to pay
vaccinations or being neutered. Anybody who wish to see it (no obligation)
is welcome. 

Three more kittens are still outside. I feed them twice a day. Hope I'll
get them soon.

    I have several cats that need good homes.  I live in Southampton, UK. 
    The cats are all healthy, active cats but due to where I live and the
    hell my neighbors cause the cats, I must find good homes for them.  
    These are dear, cherished pets and I'm looking for good, committed pet 
    owners/lovers to take them.

    Desmond:  A very large, blue-gray cat with white paws, triangle on face and
    tummy.  He is at least half again bigger than your average cat.  Very
    soppy, home-loving cat (read mega lazy! ;))  He's about four, has had
    all his jabs and he's neutered.  He's half Persian but has thick short
    fur that does need an occasional grooming.  I feel quite strongly that
    Desmond would do best being the only cat in a household.  I rescued him
    a few years ago and he took weeks to settle and finally come out from
    under the bed.  This was due largely to the other cats in the home being 
    dominant.

    Coco:  An average sized black Tom cat.  He's quite a character.  He
    needs to be neutered (he's starting to roam) and I'm willing to pay for
    it.  He's two this spring and has had his jabs.  He has med length shiny, 
    black fur and a huge, fury tail.  He grew up with a dog he treats as
    his mother (gets in bed with her, nudges her when he walks by her, curls
    up in front of the fire with her etc.)  He's quite happy to be around
    other cats as well.

    Gigi:  Gigi is approximately 16-17 weeks old.  She is an amazing
    looking tortie and shows every sign of growing to be a very large cat
    (she has large ears and a very long tail)  She is mostly white with
    large black and ginger patches.  Her face is white with ginger across
    her nose.  She is extremely playful, lovable and very mischievous. 
    She's a lovely kitten and is young enough to integrate with other cats
    or dogs.  

    If you're interested in any of my cats or know someone who is please
    contact me on DTN 7782-2692 or mail me TRUCKS::GAILANN.

    up in front of the fire with her etc.)  He's quite happy to be around
    other cats as well.

    Gigi:  Gigi is approximately 16-17 weeks old.  She is an amazing
    looking tortie and shows every sign of growing to be a very large cat
    (she has large ears and a very long tail)  She is mostly white with
    large black and ginger patches.  Her face is white with ginger across
    her nose.  She is extremely playful, lovable and very mischievous. 
    She's a lovely kitten and is young enough to integrate with other cats
    or dogs.  

    If you're interested in any of my cats or know someone who is please

    I have one calico kitten about 3 months old. We had 4 kittens and I've
    found homes for 3 of them. I already have two cats so I really can't
    keep her. She is good natured (looks just like mamma)

    We have two black kittens (out of a litter of four) looking for homes. 
    There's one male and one female.  They both have gray tiger-stripes and
    white feet, although the female's stripes are much more obvious than
    the male's.
    
    They've not been out of the house since before their eyes opened. 
    They're around 7 weeks old now, so they'll be ready for adoption in a
    couple of weeks.

    We're also looking for a home for the mother of the kittens in .-1.
    
    She's around two years old, and a very pretty tortoise-shell cat. 
    She's very friendly and good natured.  We've kept her indoors since she
    appeared outside our basement window 7 weeks ago with a litter of four
    kittens, and while she obviously would like to go outside, she's
    adjusted well to being an indoor cat.
    
    She's free of FIL & distemper.

    
    Sad to say but Tommy has to have a new home!  It has been determined

                   2 adult cats need new homes-Groton, MA
    
    I just discovered this note!  Hope it works for me as it has for many
    others.
    
    Both cats live in Groton, MA, are healthy, up to date on shots, etc.
    
    Velcro:
    I have a very sweet, small (8 lb.) 8-yr old kitty named Velcro that I would
    like to find a loving home for.  I recently had my second child and
    feel she would be much happier in a home that could give her the love and
    attention she wants.  She is spayed, a wonderful hunter (always
    bringing me  "treats", and very affectionate.  She has short white with grey
    tiger fur, someone told me she looks like a Manx?? She tends to be a little
    timid at times, but a very sweet kitty.  She goes in and out of our cellar
    (we have a cat door in our window for her), goes to the bathroom
    outside, or would use a cat box.  Please let me know if you know anyone
    who would like a clean, well-behaved adult cat - she would be a great
    companion for an older person, she is timid around children.
    
    
    Sanford:
    My Mom has a large (16 lbs.), 9 year old orange tiger (Morris) cat that
    also needs a loving home.  He is GREAT with kids, loves attention, very
    clean, a great hunter.  He is neutered, an indoor/outdoor cat.  My
    parents go to Florida every winter, so he winters with me.  I am
    finding it very difficult and unfair for both cats to go without the
    love and attention that we no longer seem to be able to give them.  I
    think both would be much happier in a more attentive, stable situation.  
    
    Please let me know if you or someone else can give these 2 great cats
    a happy home. 
    
    Many thanks to everyone in this note!

    The formal adoption post for my 4 foster felines:
    
    All cats were acquired from my old apartment complex.  They're
    currently living as indoor-only cats and I'd like to find them
    indoor-only homes as it seems they've adjusted better than expected
    to not going outside.  The names listed are not set in stone, they're
    just the names that suited them for me.  I've left the decision of
    whether or not to vaccinate for Feline Leukemia (FELV) up to the their
    new owners.
    
    All cats are currently residing in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, CA
    Interested parties can contact me at DTN 521-6611 or at

    Dolly Madison - Dolly is an all black, long-haired female with
    		    green-gold eyes.  She's very lovable.  Doesn't like 
    		    to be held much but does enjoy being petted and 
    		    groomed.  Dolly would probably be best in a home with
    		    1-2 other cats or as a single cat (though she seems
    		    to be adjusting to a multicat household lately).
    		    Dolly is somewhere between 3 and 5 years of age.
    		    She has tested negative for FELV and FIV and has 
    		    received her 3-in-1 and rabies vaccines.  Dolly has
    		    had spay surgery recently but it was discovered that 
    		    she must have been spayed before.  There was no spay
    		    previous spay scar available to verify this but the
    		    "parts" were missing already.
    
    St. Ashlar -    Ashlar is an all white, short-haired male with
    		    wonderful blue eyes.  He is not deaf.  Ash is a talker.
    		    He'll tell you his life story and then some.  He loves
    		    to be petted and held.  He's so cute when he sticks 
    		    out his little pink tongue while you scratch his neck.
    		    Ash will prove to any doubting Thomases that cats can
    		    be extremely lovable.  Ash would probably be fine in 
    		    a home with any number of cats.  He is FELV and FIV
    		    negative and has received his 3-in-1 and rabies
    		    vaccines.  He is apprxomately 1.5 years old.  He was
    		    neutered in 9/15/94.
    
    Joey Bishop -   Joey is a brown tabby male with white on his fee and 
    		    chest/stomach.  He's got the cutest green eyes and the
    		    most adorable expression.  Joey is a lover.  He wants
    		    to be cuddled and petted.  He makes the cutest chirrup
                    sound when he's happy and when he sits there looking at
    		    you with his quizzical little expression you'll fall in
    		    love.  Joey is FELV and FIV negative and has received 
    		    his 3-in-1 and rabies vaccines.  He is approximately 
    		    1 year old and was neutered on 9/15/94.  He would be 
    		    fine in a home with any number of cats.
    
    Torbie Tyler -  Torbie is a brown tabby female with patches of read or
    		    tortie coloring (patched tabby or torbie).  She has 
    		    gold eyes.  Torbie is FELV and FIV negative and has
    		    received her 3-in-1 and rabies vaccines.  Torbie is
    		    shy (semi-feral) but extremely lovable once you've 
    		    earned her trust.  She loves to be petted and combed.
    		    She purrs like a crazy as you do this.  She's still a
    		    bit wary of being approached but if you catch her at 
    		    the food bowl and scratch her back you've got her 
    		    hooked.  Torbie would be best in a home with a person
    		    experienced with and understanding formerly feral
    		    feline behavior quirks.  She has not problem with 
    		    other cats, she just walks right in and assumes command.  
    		    Torbie is approximatley 10 months old and is blossoming 
    		    into a beautiful cat.  Torbie was spayed on 9/14/94.

     I am entering this note for a fellow DECy that is not a noter. 
     A single parent with new baby,she just can't not give Booboo the
     time and love that she deserves, so she is desparate to find a home
     for Booboo. As all no-kill shelters are full, time is running out
     for poor booboo. I used to be a roommate there and know all about
     booboo and love her to death, but we have three indoor only cats
     and booboo is indoor/outdoor and free spirited. 
     Now about Booboo, last year on covert CATS magazine there was a
     picture of a Turkish Angora, which was a spliting image of Booboo.
     She is a three year old spayed female, up to date on all her shots.
     She is all white, with two simerical little gray spots just below 
     her ears on her forehead. She has one gold and one blue eye and a
     beatifull bushy white tail. She is absolutely beautiful. 
    
     If you are interested in Booboo, you can send me mail to send mail
     directly to Ginny at SALEM::STPIERRE_G.

    FREE KITTENS!!!!   Located in Worcester.

       I have two ~12 week old Orange/yellow "tiger" kittens (who have lost
   there mittens, sorry couldn't resist)  1 male/1 female.  Looking for a good
   home.  Nothing has been done to them (ie, de-clawing, shots,
   spading/neutering, etc...).  First come,first serve.

Contact:  Tina Daniels DTN 264-42980 or AIMHI::DANIELS
    
                                    
I'm looking for a home for my two cats as I am going to live overseas
and won't be able to take them with me.  Cats are currently located in
Nashua, NH.

They are brother and sister, and have been with me for all of their 
8 years.  They are both very healthy, short haired, have all their shots
and I'll provide 3 months worth of food to the new parent!

Female - all black, 12 pounds of love.  She is the most loving cat I've
ever known, will sit on your lap as soon as you sit down, enjoys being
carried around the house with you, and will sit on the floor near you if 
you don't pick her up.  She is very quiet.

Male - black with white markings, 14 pounds of mischief.  He is also
very loving, and is a lap cat when he's in the mood.  He can also 
provide a lot of laughs with some of his antics and can be quite "vocal".
He purrs loudly and loves to have you to play with him!

Both cats are litter box trained, declawed and neutered.  I would really 
like to keep them together as they are never far from each other.

    
    
    

    The cat and kittens in 4.707 & 4.708 are still looking for homes.
    
    Tux is a female tortoise-shell, about 2 years old.  We found her August
    17th, curled up under the cover of one of our basement windows, with
    four newborn kittens.  She's been inside ever since.  She's a very
    friendly, talkative cat.  She's free of FeLV/FIV, and she'll be getting
    her shots this Friday.
    
    Of the four kittens, we've already placed one, and we're going to keep
    one, but we still need to find homes for the two black tigers:
    
    Katie's grey tiger-stripes are very noticeable.  She's a smallish cat,
    with a very high voice, which is why we called her Katie - after Kate
    Bush.  She's a bit nervous (sudden noises will send her running for
    cover), but if you don't approach her too fast, she's very friendly. 
    Katie is a champion plastic-bag surfer.
    
    Mitty's stripes are much fainter.  He's larger than Katie, and is quite
    an intelligent cat - he was the first of the litter to figure out that
    the easiest way to reach something high up is to stand on something,
    rather than waste energy jumping.  He likes laps, and is very vocal
    when he wants to be picked up, or when he feels his breakfast is late.
    A brave warrior kitten, Mitty would rather fight plastic bags to the
    death than surf on them, and has been known to stare down a charging
    vacuum-cleaner.
    
    All the cats understand litter boxes, and keep themselves clean.

 Sweet little Rudy was dropped off near my home in Leominster, 
MA about 4 weeks ago.  Since no one has claimed him, I've taken 
the responsibility of getting him to the vet for an exam and shots, 
and also had him neutered.  He's a shorthair, orange tiger/white, 
in good health, and is very friendly and affectionate.  He is litter 
box trained, and loves to go outdoors.  The vet says that he's ~1 yr. 
old, and weighs 6 lbs".  Rudy's a little too active and playful for my 
two 14 year old cats; one of whom is partially crippled. I'm hoping to 
find a good home for him that would make everyone happy.  To adopt Rudy, 
please contact;

    KJ is a *BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME* 10-year-old male Shaded Sivler Persian. 
    He was abandoned by his owner and the roommate can't keep him.  In
    fact, the roommate brought the cat to the Vets and left him there.  
    
    KJ (name doesn't befit a Persian) is a small neutered male who is
    absolutely gorgeous.  I was called by the vet to see if I knew of
    someone who would want this little beauty on Wednesday.  I went on
    Saturday to *just take a look* and ended up fostering him.  I just
    couldn't let him sit in a cage.  He doesn't deserve that.  He now has
    control of my back bedroom complete with 3 windows, a bed, bureau, etc
    to monitor things from.  I do bring him out of the room while I am at
    home and there have been no confrontations yet.  
    
    He has paws of a lion and silvery-white fur streaked with grey.  He has
    the look of a Cherub and is very laid-back.  I can't keep him because I
    already have 6 cats (which is 3 over max) and would really like him to
    have a loving home.  He is an indoor-only kitty and does need special
    food.  If he is given the regular low-cost grocery store type food, he
    tends to vomit.  He is doing fine on the Triumph and Lamb/Rice food.
    
    He is currently living in NH and I can be reached at work at dtn
    264-4304 x 7042 or at home 603-485-5545.  My e-mail is AIMHI::OFFEN.
    
    He is current on his shots until July of 1995.

    Please help if you can.  Dolly is in desperate need of a new home.
    Amelia is terrorizing her to the point that Dolly will do anything
    to get out of the house including begging at the door and just 
    bolting out when the door is open.
    
    Dolly is very unhappy living in a situation with 7 other cats.  She
    would be best in a single-cat household or in a home with 1-2 other
    cats.
    
    If you know anyone who would be willing to give her a loving, indoor
    only home (indoor-outdoor may be considered due to the her intense 
    desire to be outside).
    
    Dolly currently resides in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, CA

    Until this morning I have been looking for home for 2 stray female kittens
    short haired tabbies, approximately 5-6 months old. They are very
    clean and healthy. No fleas, no ear mites, running nose or eyes,
    or sneezing. If you consider they lived outside they look gorgeous.
    Since today I have added 3 more adorable kittens to my collections. 
    They are approximately 9 - 10 weeks old. Currently, they are in the Vets.
    The kittens lived in the wooden area behind my townhouse. The older
    ones I've captured 1 months ago. Now, they spend most of their time
    in a family room in basement where they walked in. They had 4 more
    brothers and sisters that I captured earlier (3 of them-- one is still
    at larger). For those three I found a homes; I keep one, 1 my neighbor
    and 1 was placed by a shelter in Salem. 
    
    Now, I wish to find a home for these 2 female as well as 3 kittens
    which I captured today. The oldest ones are litter trained, still
    a little shy because lately my tomcat became very agressive. He hates
    to see too many stranges around. If he sees me to play with them
    he becomes very jealous. He even started to hate the kitten (also
    tomcat) that we adopted. Before he got along with him. They played 
    and ate together. He also groomed him and slept with him. I believe
    he is upset because of keeping too many cats at home. This is reason
    why I could not to spend enough time with those kittens as I wish to.  
    
    Three kittens, which I got today, are cute and healthy too. One is 
    grey long-haired, second is mix of grey and orange (presently
    short-haired). I am saying 'presently' because the kitten we adopted
    was short-haired untill his age of 5-month and now he has
    huge tail and longer hair than short-haired cats used to have.
    I don't know sex of them yet. The last one is grey short-haired with
    a white nose and paws. This one is female.
    
    All of them will be tested against Feline Leukamia and will have
    distemper shots done. 
    
    Please help me to find good homes for them. It took me too long
    to rescue them from the outside world but now in the most difficult
    stage to find people to take care of them I would need all of
    you to help me finish what I've started. Please try to ask friends
    neighbors or consider yourself if you could adopt some of those
    needed kittens.
    
    They are located in Leominster. I could be reach at home 
    after 6 pm (508) 840-0452, or at work @DTN 237-5815.

    Yesterday I received a call from my vet at Central Animal Hospital.  I
    was asked if I would put in a note to find a home or homes for 2 very
    needy cats.
    
    These 2 cats are located in Clinton.  Their owner passed away 3 years
    ago and the elderly next door neighbor has been taking care of them in
    their former owner's home ever since.  The house is now in the process
    of being sold and the cats have been put outside.  This woman who has
    been caring for them is 70 years old and has many cats of her own.  She
    desperately needs to find a home for them quickly as the weather is
    getting colder and she's very worried about their survival.
    
    They are:
    
    Both female (sisters) - 10 years old
    1 is a long-hair calico
    1 is a long-hair gray and white
    Both are spayed and just have been vaccinated and are up to date on
    shots.
    Excellent dispositions
    
    It would be great if they could be placed together but can be separated
    if nessessary.
    
    If you can help, please call Maryann Haug at (508) 365-0855 (Clinton)
    

    
    	Male declawed (and maybe neutered) cat looking for a home.  This is
    a stray cat we have been feeding for a few months.  He's completely
    black, with medium length coat.  He's very loving.  We would take him
    in, but we have another male cat who hates him, and he has claws... 
    It's getting cold, and I don't know if he can make it thru the
    winter outside...  If you're interested, or have any suggestions of
    what we can do to help him, contact me or my wife.

    The cats are located in Danvers MA, but I am willing to work out a
    meeting/pick up place.  This is an emergency!  I must find a good home
    for them before this weekend.  I am getting rid of them for my Nana who
    is extremely ill and is dieing from cancer.  She can not take care of
    them anymore.  The cats MUST stay together.  Big Foot is a tabby cat
    who is double-pawed.  His paws are huge!   I don't know his exact age,
    but I estimate around 8 years.  He is very timid, but loves to sit on
    my grandmothers lap.  I think he is just shy around people he doesn't
    know.  Pand Bear is a black and white cat.  Her age is approx. 9 years. 
    Both are quite large (they were fed well).  They are fixed, but not
    declawed.  
    
    Please, if you are interested, call me ASAP.  The cats will be gone
    this weekend.

    603-672-7122 (please do not send mail).

    Must find home for two loving cats immediately by this weekend.  If I
    do not find a home they will unfortunately have to go to a shelter.
    
    Two long haired spayed females (sisters).  Four years old, orange color
    - beautiful cats.  These are indoor cats, declawed.  To go with the
    cats:  Cat carrier, litter box, grooming supplies, food, and toys.
    
    Unfortunately my son is allergic and we must remove them from the
    house.

	    .   Used to indoors only
	
	    .   Very affectionate - craves attention

	    .   Must find new home due to grandchild's allergies

	Over the summer our son, Nathan, developed asthma.  We recently 
	learned that at least one of the causes of this problem is
	our cat, Orion.  As such, we are seeking a new home for him.

	Orion is a large, two-year old, seriously furry Maine Coon Cat.
	He is good with children (jumping, yelling, running children!).  He
	enjoys birdwatching, sleeping, and long nights hanging out on our
	breezeway.

	If you have been longing for companionship, or would like to strike
	up a new relationship with a relatively non-intrusive personality,
	let me know, and we'll introduce you to Orion.

    Two of these kitties still need homes!  1 very fortunate kitty
    was adopted this past weekend by a very nice and caring couple.
    The other two have not been as fortunate.
    
    If I can not find home for the other 2 within a couple of weeks,
    they'll have to go to a shelter.  They are currently in 
    my old bedroom, (which I am trying to redecorate!) because
    I don't want my young son to accidentally step on their
    tiny bodies, or for him to accidentally get scratched.
    
    If anyone is interested, please send mail.  I would like
    them to have a nice home.

    Eleanor has been my buddy for 12 years.  She is a very pretty,
    extremely friendly calico, in good health.  She's  adapted very well
    over the years to the new people who have come into my life - my wife
    and two daughters.  She moved with me from Florida to New Hampshire,
    giving up the warm weather and lizard snacks for the more temperate
    lifestyle of a New England feline.
    
    Unfortunately, we found out recently that our younger daughter is
    allergic to cat hair.  So, we need to find a new home for Eleanor.
    
    She really is a friendly cat, and loves to be petted, rubbed, and
    generally spoiled.
    
    Eleanor is an "inside" and "outside" cat.
    
    She was spayed.
    
    She would do best in a house without dogs or other cats.  However, she
    could probably adapt, depending on the situation.
    
    If you are able to provide her a home, please get in touch with me.

2 Siamese cats looking for a new home, Bedford New Hampshire.  If you are
interested, please send mail or give me a call.

Due to severe allergies in my family, we are looking for a new home for our
two Siamese cats.  They are brother and sister, but not littermates, both 5 
years old.  They are extemely gentle and get along well with my 2 year old
and 4 month old daughters.  Both have always been healthy, are up to date
on all their shots, and stay indoors except for supervised visits to the deck.
They are not declawed, I clip their nails which they do not mind.

They are both very well behaved, don't get on the tables or counters (unless
you're not looking!) and don't disturb knick-knacks around the house.  They
never scratch the furniture, and have never had any other bad behavior 
incidents.  Milo did do some overgrooming (biting the fur off his legs) when 
my first daughter was born.  They do still act like kittens sometimes and
run around the house.

I would like them both to go to the same home.  I think they could probably
adjust to other cats as they are pretty mellow, but I can't predict..  

"Mouse"  born 2/5/89 spayed Female, likes to set on my shoulders when I'm
at the computer or working at the table.  She loves to be pet and will
sit either in your lap or at the edge of the sofa.  She'll tell you when she
enters the room that she's there and wants to be noticed!

"Milo" born 7/4/89 neutered Male, if you like dogs also, this cat is for you!
Milo barks sometimes, will play fetch with his own stuffed animals, or the
twisties off milk bottles, and talks back to you if you reprimand him.  He
loves to sit in your lap.

    My friend is looking to find good homes for 2 abandonded litters of
    kittens that she rescued.  I believe she has 3 6-month old kittens that
    have been wormed, neutered and have all their shots.  I think the
    rest (which are a bit younger) have had all or some of their shots.
    She has blacks, whites and grays.
    
    She would love to find good homes for these little guys who've been
    given a second chance at life.

    I have a 6 year old male cat (fixed) which is a beautifull dark gray
    with white breast and paw points. He's a real mouser and likes to spend
    much of his time outside. He is in great health and has all shots. He
    is affectunate (to a point) and is non-distructive (at least since
    we've had him). The problem is that we have to move due to my job and
    will be unable to take Puddy with us. The last thing in the world I
    would want to do is have him put down but I have been unable due to the
    short notice of having to move make any arrangements. If you know of
    someone who would be interested in possibly taking him please let me
    know before Thursday at TALER::VON or dtn 237-2017. Puddy lives in
    Bolton Ma. and would come with carrier, litter/box, and all
    accessories.

    A home is needed for a nice siamese male cat.  I believe this cat is
    around 10 years old and is in good health, litter box trained and has
    always been kept indoors.  The individual who currently owns the cat
    is unable to continue to care for him.  The cat has previously cohabited
    with another siamese as well as a small dog but is now alone.  I have met 
    the cat many times and he is very friendly and likes to meet people.  His
    current home situation is less than desireable (for the cat).  If you 
    know of anyone who might be willing to give this cat a nice home, please
    contact me.     Thanks Ellen

    Ellen,
    I thank you for trying to find a home for the kitty.  What color is it?
    Another suggestion:  find out who the breeder of the kitty was and then
    contact them to see if they will take it back.  Many breeders will or
    they can put you in touch with someone who may want it.
    regards,
    Karen

    This siamese is the tan with dark brown markings.....  Thanks ellen

    A good friend suggested I ask about possible siamese rescue leagues.
    would anyone know who I might contact to track down this info. Thanks
    
    I would really like to find a place for this cat if I can.  ellen

    I am not a regular reader of this notesfile, but I do love cats!  
    
    I have three right now, but I am moving into a rented house for the
    next six months, and the landlord will only let me keep 1 with me.
    
    I have two female cats, both about 4 years old, both spayed (sp?),
    that I need to find homes for.  I will be moving again in six months
    into my own home, so I would prefer to find them temporary homes that
    I can retrieve them from this fall.  I would rather give them to a good
    permanent home, however, than see them put in a shelter.  
    
    They are litter trained, and currently indoors all the time (my
    neighborhood is not safe enough to let them roam), but both would LOVE
    to be outdoors if the environment was a safe one.  
    
    One of them (Oreo Cookie) is a white & black longhair.  She is very
    dainty, ladylike, and affectionate.  The other (Smokey) is a
    grey/orange/black calico.  She is affectionate with me, but tends to be
    "standoffish" with strangers.
    
    I have advertised at vets clinics and in the papers, but have been 
    unsuccessful in finding them homes.
    
    I am moving Feb 25th, so we are down to the wire now, and I am getting
    worried.  Any leads anyone could give me would be helpful.
    
    You can reply here, or call me at DTN 223-3368

    My husband told me about the following two kitties that
    need homes and I thought that I would give this file a
    try.  The person who needs to find a home for them told
    my husband that they are litter mates, six years old and
    are male and female.  They are spayed and neutered.  They
    are long haired Siamese.  Jim saw a picture of them and
    said that they are simply gorgeous.  The owner lives in
    an apartment and the landlord has decided that he does not
    want any pets in the building.  The owner of the kitties
    is devistated.
    
    Anyone interested??
    
    Let me know!

    A friend of mine has a lovely neutered male cat who has shown up at her
    house, she has checked around and he's been abandoned by his owners.
    She is at max cat + 1 and can't take him in. Unfortunately, due to my 
    circumstances, neither can I. She is concerned about his being outside
    all the time and is afraid he might meet a bad end. 
    
    TJ is about 3 or 4 years old, he had his shots originally, but she
    doesn't know if they are up to date. He's a blue cream persian or Maine
    Coon, she isn't sure on that. He loves attention, jumps in her car to
    sit on her lap, cuddles and purrs. He is a beautiful long hair, but has
    mats due to neglect.
    
    I'm hoping someone has room in their heart and home for TJ, who needs
    someone to love him.
    
    Sari and the Hon. Col. Sebastian Moran, DROFFC

    Sorry should have said that TJ can be visited in Auburn, MA. If anyone
    is really interested and can't get there. I'd be pleased to bring him
    to you.

    Wanted: Good Home for Abagail Barron
    ------------------------------------
    
    Abagail Barron, or Abby for short, is my daughters cat who lives with
    my wife and I. We are in the process of relocating out of state, so we
    need to find a good home for Abby. 
    
    Here are Abby's vital stats:
    
    	Where: 	Abby lives in Sudbury, Mass., 2.8 miles from the Mill,
    		although she has never set paw in the place.
    
    	Gender: Female, spayed.
    
    	Age:  	Approx 10
    
    	Hair:	Longish I am told. SHe is a white cat with black
    		markings on the head, body, tail, and feet. Very
    		attractive.
    
    	Breed: 	Don't know. Got her from Buddy Dog.
    
    	Size: 	Largish I am told. We still think of her as dainty,
    		but everyone says she's large.
    
    	Personality: Abby is a people person. If you visit, she will check
    		you out. If you wish, she will gladly let you pet her, and
    		will keep your lap warm. She has a tendency to drool when
    		purring, but is getter better at reducing her droll.
    		Her purr is sort of quiet, but noticable.
    
    		Abby is an indoor/outdoor cat. During the winters she
    loves the warmth of the house, but sneaks out for reconisance runs
    around the house. During the summer, she's out most of the time,
    including night time. SHe is the consumate mouser. She can handle
    mice, chipmonks, rabbits, birds, anything that moves. She loves the
    hunt, and is entertaining when she does. She is very playful too.
    Crunch up a piece of paper and she'll play with it for hours. Milk
    tabs, yarn, balls, etc...she loves them all.  She's a bit wary of
    children, because they tend to grab and chase....but if she needs to
    warn someone to back off she'll give them a polite nip as a warning.
    
    Abby will do best in a house which is sunny and with a neighborhood to
    explore.
    
    For an appointment, please contact me at the numbers given above.
    If no home is found for Abby by March 25 she will be saying goodbye to
    Massachusstts for her new home out of state.

Due to worsening allergies, I need to find a new home for my cat.  It really
breaks my heart to do this.

Orestes is a ~3 year old short-haired black & white neutered male.  He weighs
about 16 lbs but doesn't look that big.  He is a cuddler who loves to 
rub up under your neck and be petted.  Sometimes he thinks he is a human
and sleeps with his head on my pillow next to me and sometimes thinks he
is a dog and follows me around the house. He still has a lot of "kitten" in
him.

He was a stray that worked his way into our hearts a year and a half ago.
Faced with the possibility of having to watch him starve/freeze to death 
over the winter, we took him in.  He is current on all his shots and is
generally healthy.

His main problem is that he is paralyzed from the "knee" down on his
front right leg.  He gets around like any other cat in spite of it and 
has no idea that anything is wrong with him.  It does require a little care.
We wrap it up and have to change the bandage once a week (more if it
gets wet) but do not need to wrap it up if you keep him indoors. 

He is an indoor/outdoor cat.  He can probably be made to be an indoor
cat but he is very good at sneaking outside. We were able to keep him
indoors from Sept to June last year but probably because we moved.  Once 
we started opening windows, he realized what he was missing. 

He is good with kids (my 8 month old has "petted" him) but does not 
seek them out.  He will probably get along with other cats.

He comes with litter box, carrier, and scratching post.  Please send me 
mail or call if you can help me out.

5 year old male neutered family cat located in Leominster MA 
needs a loving home.

We have had muggsy since he was 6 weeks old.

semi-long hair 
black and white patches
right now he is probably about 12 lbs.
He goes out a little bit
He is up to date on all shots

Muggsy has been really tolerant of our 15 month old little girl
who has sometimes been a little too loving if you know what I mean.

He has been a really good cat.  It has just gotten to the point 
where our lives have gotten so busy that we can't give him the attention
he deserves.

    Two indoor cats, female and male (neutered/spayed) shots current,
    looking for good home. (now located in Clinton Mass)
    
    We have had allergies/asthma reactions, had given both cats to my
    mother-in-law who is now going into an elderly housing apartment and
    cannot keep the cats.
    
    The female, 5 year old Shadow, has a beautiful gray coat (looks like
    the cat on TV... not sure of the commercial) and is becoming more loving as
    time passes on. Her best friend Willow, about 2 years, is a yellow tiger 
    type with double-double front paws and is extremely friendly. 
    
    We are most interested in keeping the cats together since they are
    friends and play together quite well, also, their ability to adapt to a
    new family would be nicer if they were together (they told us all about
    it). They've been together since Willow was about 10 weeks old.
    
    Neither cat has been outdoors (that we know of), we are all hoping to
    see them go to a good home so that none of us worry about how they are
    getting along. 
    
    In any case, if you or someone you know is interested, please contact

	The other night we found 4 cats on our back porch. I've seen them
	wandering around the woods, but never all together or up close.

	It turns out that there is a mom long haired black cat with some
	white markings and 3 kittens that appear to be about 9 - 10 months.
	One is white with brown spots, one is black, and one is grey tiger
	with white they are shorter hair. 

	I was wondering if anyone knows of any place that will rescue the
	cats so that they don't end up living in the woods and creating more
	cats. I hate to see them starve or get eaten by the coyotes.

	The cat population in the woods has always been a problem. I've
	had several of them adopt me over the years and have taken them to
	the vets for shots and to get them fixed. And I've found them homes,
	but never 4 at once. I don't know how I would catch them all and
	can't afford to take all 4 to the vet for shots/and to get them 
	fixed.

	I have two cats now. My husband thinks that's plenty. 
	I live in Westford, MA.

	Thanks for any information on how to save these cats from a life
	in the woods.

	Sheri

	There are coyotes in Westford?

	In the Westford Eagle the other week someone put a editorial in 
	that last summer the coyotes came out during the day looking for
	food and that this family had lost two of their pet cats to the 
	coyotes.

	I've heard other stories of coyotes in the area, as well as
	fox, bear, and other wildlife.

	There are alot of woods in Westford for them to live in.

    Well, Willow has moved on to a new home. He's doing fine, but Shadow, is
    still looking for a new home. 
    
    Again, she is a beautiful cat, up to date on shots, etc.. 
    
    I've attached my original note for what it's worth. My mother in law
    has found an apartment and this time next week, Shadow will need to go
    somewhere.
    
    I'm hoping that I can find someone thru here and not have to bring her
    to a shelter. That'll be the last resort....
    
    PLEASE - If you know of anyone looking or can take in an additional
    IN-DOOR cat, please contact me....

    easier to handle with only one cat? Below is some info I wrote up
    an environmental helps for my allergic cat;  some of it applies to
    humans, and I understand that there are new allergy medications
    that help quite a bit without causing drowsiness, etc.
    
    One of my cats has asthma/allergies and this is what I've learned from
    dealing with that --
    
    He first started displaying symptoms when I changed the cats to a
    sand-type clumping litter.  Apparently either the fineness of that or
    its moisture- absorbing properties can cause respiratory distress,
    sometimes severe, in some cats.  However, although he improved when I
    changed back to the previous type of litter, his problem still
    persisted.  The vet believes that the problem was present before the
    change of litter, and that the litter just made the symptoms worse.
    
    He was originally on Prednisolone (Prednisone?) to control the
    symptoms, but had to stop taking that because it induced diabetes
    (he's been off the Pred for about a year now, and the vet just gave
    him a clean bill of health as far as the diabetes having vanished.)
    
    Because he couldn't take medication, I looked harder for a solution,
    and did what I probably should have done first -- tried environmental
    controls.  They have been very successful.  In particular, I have an
    Enviracaire (HEPA-type) air filtering machine and I also use high
    filtration vacuum cleaner bags with my regular-type vacuum cleaner.
    The Enviracaire machine is a footstool-looking object that cost $100
    to $200; the first day it was in operation I noticed the white noise
    it makes, but after that I stopped hearing it.  I only have to run it
    from zero to several hours a day depending on whether it's spring
    (pollen, etc.)  to control Sweetie's obvious symptoms.  The vacuum
    bags seem to help as well; he used to have a coughing fit whenever I
    vacuumed, but never does since I started using these bags.  I don't
    smell the "vacuum dust smell" that used to accompany vacuuming either.
    
    I bought both these things from National Allergy Supply at
    1-800-522-1448.  They sell other allergy-control products as well and
    will send you pamphlets on them if you give them a call, but I haven't
    had to resort to those yet.  I have seen the Enviracaire machine
    advertised at local discount places, and the "vacuum cleaner store"
    where I live carries the high filtration vacuum cleaner bags as well;
    they are available now for a number of different brands of vacuums.
    
    Besides avoiding the fine sand type of litter, the vet also said flea
    powder is a no-no.  I now buy only no-dust litters like Gentle Touch
    or Cat Country (Country Cat?  I never can remember the order of the
    name); you may have to shop at a large pet and feed type store to find
    these.
    
    I generally avoid having anything "dust like"
    or potentially particularly allergenic in the house.
    
    The worst he has ever been in terms of symptoms was, as a recent
    poster noted about her cat, just after he came home from having
    anesthesia at the vet's for something like teeth cleaning.  I assume
    this was because the anesthesia apparatus irritated his throat.  He
    had coughing fits about once an hour for several days after that, and
    then went back to his usual state.  I feared that this meant he could
    never have anesthesia again, but he subsequently had his teeth cleaned
    with no problem; I had mentioned this to the vet before the second
    time, so maybe they were extra careful.
    
    He is basically doing well now.
    

    SUCCESS!!!
    
    
    Thank you all very much!! We've found a great home for Shadow too!!!
    
    The adoptive parents of Willow and Shadow are close friends. Sort of
    like Willow's new mom is Shadow's aunt or something like that!!
    
    In less than a half hour or so, I've received four inquiries on Shadow.
    The response was tremendous!!!
    
    Thank you all again!!!!

    CHARLIE needs a home.  This wonderful half-Siamese male Tiger kitty has
    been abandoned by his owner.  He is currently living on and under my
    porch.  I know his ex-owner and he doesn't want the cat back.  The 
    reason is that the cat scratched the limo (he is a chaffeur for a limo
    service co).
    
    CHARLIE is a neutered adult male.  He is a grey/black tiger with a
    white chest and booties.  He is a very loving, vocal cat.  He gets 
    along well with other cats and *protects* the females in the area.
    He is not afraid of children and will eat anything given him.  Once
    he realized that you are his caretaker, he will never leave your side.
    He even likes to go for walks with you.
    
    Is there someone out there that would give Charlie a home??  
    
    He currently lives in Suncook NH.  I will gladly bring him to you if it
    is a reasonable drive.  You can reach me via dtn at 264-4304 x 7042.
    I am home on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays if you want to see him.

    BLACK DIAMOND needs a home.  She is a beautiful black abandoned kitty.
    When I first saw her on my porch I thought my Black Thunder had gotten
    outside.  The only difference is, BLACK DIAMOND has a white diamond 
    patch on her chest.  She was starving when she first found my porch
    but now she is starting to feel better.  She was a mommy but I don't
    know what happened to her babies.  She doesn't leave my porch so I 
    know she isn't still feeding them. 
    
    This little beauty has semi-long glossy black fur and is a true love.
    This is not a cat that will require brushing (unless you want to) but
    loves to be handled.  She is extremely friendly but not overly vocal.
    She is very graceful and sort of glides when she walks.
    
    I am taking her in to be spayed and for her shots but I need someone to
    give her a home.  I am already over cat-max and Thunder wouldn't accept
    another addition.  
    
    BLACK DIAMOND currently resides in Suncook, along with CHARLIE from the
    previous message.  She also lives under my porch and keeps CHARLIE 
    company.  They could go as a pair if someone wants two (they already
    get along) but I will let them go separate ways if necessary.
    
    I can be reached at dtn 264-4304 x 7042.  I am home on Friday,
    Saturday, and Sunday if you want to come up and see this little Beauty.

    RACKEY is a very large, wonderful Maine Coon boy.  He is a grey tiger
    with a striking white chest and legs.  His fur is medium long and very
    full.  
    
    He is neutered and loves attention.  He is the type of cat that will
    *walk all over you* just to get some attention, purring all the time.
    He is another cat that is currently residing on and under my porch.
    
    With six cats of my own, there is no way I can bring any more in.  I
    currently am feeding four strays (one does have a home as soon as I
    socialize her) but RACKEY is one of three that are still looking for a
    home.  See the two notes previous to this.  
    
    Rackey gets along with men and woman as well as other cats.  He is
    currently living in Suncook NH.  I am off on Fridays, Saturdays, and
    Sundays if you would like to come see RACKEY (or one of the other two).
    My dtn is 264-4304 x 7042.
    
    If you are looking for a loving cat, give me a call.

    Update on Note 4.765
    
    I just found out what happened to BLACK DIAMOND's babies.  They all
    died and are *still* in the house that she came from.  Supposedly,
    there is a way into the house from underneath but DIAMOND won't use it.
    I wonder why!!!!  I don't know how they died but there are a few
    un-neutered males around that could also use the opening to the house. 
    Now I really feel like I HAVE to find her a home.

An update on my previous note:  
    
    although I've had a few inquiries, I still have not found a new home
    for Eleanor.  I really need to soon.  If you know of anyone looking for
    a very friendly, wonderful cat, please have them contact me.
    
    Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Eleanor has been my buddy for 12 years.  She is a very pretty,
    extremely friendly calico, in good health.  She's  adapted very well
    over the years to the new people who have come into my life - my wife
    and two daughters.  She moved with me from Florida to New Hampshire,
    giving up the warm weather and lizard snacks for the more temperate
    lifestyle of a New England feline.
    
    Unfortunately, we found out recently that our younger daughter is
    allergic to cat hair.  So, we need to find a new home for Eleanor.
    
    She really is a friendly cat, and loves to be petted, rubbed, and
    generally spoiled.
    
    Eleanor is an "inside" and "outside" cat.
    
    She was spayed.
    
    She would do best in a house without dogs or other cats.  However, she
    could probably adapt, depending on the situation.
    
    If you are able to provide her a home, please get in touch with me.

    One of the staff at Central Animal Hospital in Leominster asked me to
    enter a note to hopefully find a loving home for a cat that was left
    behind by its owner.
    
    His name is Panza.  1 year old neutered male, grey and white domestic
    shorthair.  Has been given shots - Felv/FIV.
    
    Panza is very friendly and loves to have his head rubbed.  He loves
    attention but needs someone to spend time with him due to his shy
    nature.  Preferably someone with no dogs or small children.
    
    If you or someone you know would be interested in this little guy who
    would love to have a home, please call Central Animal Hospital at (508)
    537-0239.

My wife is trying to find a home for a stray cat that an elderly friend
has been feeding for a couple of years in Gardner, MA.

He is a male cat, black with white feet (tuxedo markings), very friendly,
has been outdoors for a few years, but would obviously like to live indoors
based on the last week in a spare room in our house.  He's of moderate size,
strong, litter trained, has just been neutered, has one more leukemia shot
to be up-to-date.  About 4 years old.  Name is Bootsie.

The cat has FIV (feline AIDs), but apparently quite healthy otherwise.  We
would keep it ourselves but for the other 9 that don't have FIV.  No shelters
thus far will take it.  The vet was inclined to execute it.  It seems a shame
since it is a nice cat.

If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be (already has such a
cat, for example), Bootsie would appreciate the consideration.

Send me email, or call my wife Susan at home 603-878-4289 (Mason NH).

By mistake, my kitten got out of the house while in her first heat.  The good
news was that she survived out there for 6 days.  The bad news was that she got
herself pregnant.  Now we have 4 of the cutest kittens but I can't keep them all
even though I'd like to.

I'm looking for good homes for them.  They are almost 1 month old and will be
ready to leave in about a month, just in time to give yourself or your children
a summer present. 

My home is in Hudson, MA and interested parties can contact me to schedule a
viewing.

Orestes is still available.  My husband's allergies are not responding to 
medication and now my infant daughter is showing signs of allergies.  I won't
put him in a shelter but I really need to find him a good home.

I've included my original note.  His paw no longer needs to be wrapped and
he is getting a lot of use out of it even though it is still paralyzed.

Due to worsening allergies, I need to find a new home for my cat.  It really
breaks my heart to do this.

Orestes is a ~3 year old short-haired black & white neutered male.  He weighs
about 16 lbs but doesn't look that big.  He is a cuddler who loves to 
rub up under your neck and be petted.  Sometimes he thinks he is a human
and sleeps with his head on my pillow next to me and sometimes thinks he
is a dog and follows me around the house. He still has a lot of "kitten" in
him.

He was a stray that worked his way into our hearts a year and a half ago.
Faced with the possibility of having to watch him starve/freeze to death 
over the winter, we took him in.  He is current on all his shots and is
generally healthy.

His main problem is that he is paralyzed from the "knee" down on his
front right leg.  He gets around like any other cat in spite of it and 
has no idea that anything is wrong with him.  It does require a little care.
We wrap it up and have to change the bandage once a week (more if it
gets wet) but do not need to wrap it up if you keep him indoors. 

He is an indoor/outdoor cat.  He can probably be made to be an indoor
cat but he is very good at sneaking outside. We were able to keep him
indoors from Sept to June last year but probably because we moved.  Once 
we started opening windows, he realized what he was missing. 

He is good with kids (my 8 month old has "petted" him) but does not 
seek them out.  He will probably get along with other cats.

He comes with litter box, carrier, and scratching post.  Please send me 
mail or call if you can help me out.

    ANOTHER UPDATE TO 4.765  and 767
    
    BLACK DIAMOND still needs a home.  Her two "protectors* - Charlie and
    Rackey have both found homes and Diamond will be all by herself.  She
    looks to them for companionship and protection and will be lost without
    them.  
    
    Diamond is really a wonderful kitty and would just love to warm up to
    someone.  She already runs to me and considers me her saviour. 
    Unfortunately, I am already 3 over cat-max.  I was really hoping that
    she would go with one of her protectors, but, it didn't happen.
    
    I will be paying for her spaying and her shots if that is the only
    reason no-one has asked about her.  That is one of the things I do for
    my stray kittys.  
    
    Again, I can be reached at dtn 264-4304 x 7042 Monday through Thursday
    and 603-485-5545 Friday through Sunday.  Diamond is currently residing
    in Suncook NH but I will travel a reasonable distance if necessary.
    
    Is there someone out there that will take this little Beauty in??

    I am very saddened at the thought that my cat may have to be put down
    for a spraying/behavioral problem.  If there's anyone out there who
    would be willing to give my Willowby a chance, please let me know.
    He's a wonderful lap cat who's quite intelligent and lovable but he
    doesn't like other pets, not at all.  He lives with another male cat
    and it just doesn't work.  I believe his sharing his home with another
    male cat is causing his problem.
    
    Willowby is located in Merrimack, New Hampshire
    He'll be 8 years old on July 5th
    He's a Silver Tabby Oriental with BIG ears, quite odd but BEAUTIFUL
    He's quite intelligent
    He hates other pets in his home
    He's a short-hair spotted cat, full-bred, his mom was from champion
    lines and I believe his daddy too.  
    He has been spayed, had his shots, is an inside cat
    He is an absolute love when he's the only cat... he won't leave you
    alone.. he'll follow you around and he sometimes talks - sometimes I
    really think he understands what you say... He loves Sheba... and
    responds by talking loudly if asked if he wants any...
    
    He's not shy...  he looks like an Egyptian temple cat... HUGE ears with
    a long sleek body.
    
    If anyone is interested in giving him a chance, please let me know.  I
    can be reached at solvit::wollen.  If it didn't work out, I'd gladly
    take him back.  I don't want to put him down but I can't handle this
    behavior problem and I'm pretty sure if he's alone getting all the love
    and attention that he would be fine.  I have no other way of knowing if
    this is the case unless someone will try to give him a chance.  He's
    such a nice cat.
    
    thanks,, and please let me know if anyones willing to try.  Willowby
    thanks you too.

    Caylith is a very pretty long haired tiger kitty that I need to find a
    home for.  She's a three year old spayed female, had all her shots etc.
    and has a sweet affectionate disposition. She's excellent with children
    and has been an in and an outdoor kitty.
    
    Caylith came into my life a short time ago when I kept her for her
    owners while they went on vacation. Upon returning from vacation, for
    personal reasons they didn't want her back (they decided to move).
    She's a real love and I'd keep her in a heartbeat, except for the fact
    that we already have four other kitties and one of them, our oldest
    guy, is furious about having poor Caylith in the house and is picking
    on her badly.  Caylith deserves a loving home where she doesn't have to
    worry about being beat on by our bad tempered older cat (if it were up
    to me, he'd be the one to go, but he's the type of a child only a
    mother could love, so we're resigned to keeping him).
    
    Caylith truly is a lap kitty, just lives on affection and will make
    someone a wonderful pet. Right now, she's just being terrorized by our
    other kitty so I'm very interested in finding her a home where her
    sweet nature could be appreciated.
    
    She's located in Winchedon, Mass; any help in finding her a good home
    is appreciated.

    I have mentioned one or two of these kitties in passing and have never
    pushed or followed up.  Anyway, I have some kitties that are all grown
    up but are still young, around two years of age give or take.  
    After talking with Sandy Merritt and my husband we thought this would
    be a good idea:
    
    We have just a couple of purebred kitties that I would like to find
    homes for.  Money is not an issue, but I am requesting that if adopted,
    a fee is paid to the Pat Brody Shelter.  These kitties are up to date
    on their shots and in good health as well as very good temperment.  I
    would require a contract stating that you will not declaw, allow
    outdoors or give up without prior notice/approval by me.  These are
    very fine kitties that are retired from showing or breeding and I think
    they would be very happy in a private home.  They are not unhappy where
    they are, but I think they would be better with not as many cats to
    compete with.  
    
    If you think you are interested and have given serious consideration to
    wanting and caring for a companion, please write.  The kitties are not
    used to small children.  What they are used to is having their nails
    clipped and a lot of physical attention. They are used to being in
    carriers for trips to shows and will walk into one readily.  They will
    not climb your drapes as they are used to using a scratching post and
    are box trained and up on "human etiquette" (I didn't say the won't
    climb on counters!).  These kitties are used to sleeping with their
    human and are generally well behaved.

    Because I can't bring my two cats with me to my new house, I need
    someone to adopt them.
    
    Cinder: 4yrs old, but thinks she's still 4 months old.  All Black with
    yellow eyes, part Maine Coon cat (which means medium length hair and
    big fluffy tail).  She has been fixed.  She is an outdoor cat and needs
    no litter box.  Loves to be cuddled and scratched.
    
    Peepers: 4yrs old, orange and white striped 3/4 part Maine Coon cat.  
    She has been fixed also.  Loves to be scratched, but not cuddled.  
    She is an outdoor cat, and needs no litter box.
    
    If you are interested in these cats, please send me mail.  Or if you
    know of someone who would like to see them, please let me know.

     Name:     Keno

     Age:      Approximately 2-3 years

     Color:    Beautiful big long-hair black/white  
               (I believe he has some Maine Coon in him)

     Personality: Keno is a clown who adores attention, very friendly, 
               loves catnip, gets along with other cats, very talkative, 
               and needs alot of love. Considering he has had a rough 
               life...I'm surprised he still has faith in humans.  
               He may be a little shy in the beginning but once he 
               gains your trust...he becomes a nut!!!

     Medical:  Just recently neutered, tested negative for Feluk/FIV,
               Rabie shot, Booster shot, 1st Feline Leukemia vaccine,
               and checked for worms/mites.

               He is also recovering from a broken pelvis (see story 
               below)  in two spots and needs to be confined to a cage 
               for another 4 weeks.  The vets feel he is recuperating 
               nicely and they expect a full recovery.

     History:  Poor Keno!!  Keno was a stray that appeared in my 
               neighborhood (probably a drop off...arrggghh) last fall.  
               As of last winter he was in great shape, had a beautiful 
               long/think coat,and was a big cat.   Keno spent the 
               winter eating off of my porch and spent the very cold 
               nights in my shed.  Springtime rolled around and Keno 
               disappeared for awhile.  Last Thursday morning I looked 
               outside to find him sitting on my porch waiting to be 
               fed.   He had lost alot of weight..his beautiful fur was
               a mess...and as he tried to walk I noticed that something 
               was definitely wrong.  X-rays...5 days at the vets..etc 
               showed that he has a broken pelvis in two spots and 
               the vets seem to think he probably got hit by a car.

               Because of my current cat situation at home (too many) the
               only place I can confine Keno is in a cage on my screened
               in porch.   I cannot keep Keno....and need to find him a
               GREAT home because he deserves the best after what he has
               been through.   I am more then willing to keep Keno until
               he no longer needs to be caged...or if someone would like
               to adopt him immediately, I'd be willing to let them borrow
               my cage.

               Keno is free to a good home...and I am also willing to continue
               covering any other medical bills until he recuperates from
               his injury.   Please help me find a home for this kitty....
               if you would like further info....please contact me at
               USCTR1::MERRITT_S or feel free to call me at home 508-342-2985.
    
               Keno is the 24th rescue from my neighborhood in the last
               5 year!!!   
    
    

We need a good home for our two kittens , Bonnie and Keiko.

They are sisters around 2 and 1/2 years old, short-haired calico (predominately
white with a couple of color patches ) moggies.

We adopted them from Kitty Angels ( local cat shelter doing a wonderful job
aroung the Nashua NH and MA area ) when they were only about a couple of months
old,  they had been found abandoned in a dumpster.

In a couple of weeks time I will be relocating to Australia and because
of the strict quarantine laws ( 9 months quarantine ) we cannot take them back
with us,  they would never survive it.

As sisters they have always been together. They are strictly indoor cats and
have been de-sexed and had all their shots.

They are both very placid well behaved kittens ( never scratched the furniture, 
never climbed curtains etc) and , need I say it, they are adorable.

HELP, HELP, HELP,HELP

   please send EMAIL to ICS::SWAN - 


I currently have 8 kittens that I need to place - 

These kittens are located in Leominster Mass - 
they have NOT had any of their shots, and they 
have not been spayed or neutered. 

2 of the 8 are ready to go right now, they were born under
my next door neighbors shed, and for fear of them ending up 
feral cats like their mother, I grabbed them as soon as they
were old enough to eat on their own - they are about 6 or 7 weeks old. 
They are eating and drinking on their own.
one is orange, short haired, one is greyish with stripes - short hair. 

There are 4 that will be ready to go on the 14th of June,
these little guys are a litter from an older cat that 
adopted us last fall, it appears she was abondoned, it took
us most of the fall and winter to befriend her - they were 
born on our three season porch, and now have the run of the
porch and the kitchen, they are very well adjusted, they
are using the litter box, and eating solid food. 

There are 2 calicos - all dark colors, browns, rust, black, no white,
short haired. 
There is one black with white socks, and moustache - medium to long hair
There is one grey and white spotted one - short hair.

I dont know for sure what sex they are, I 'think' they are all 
females. 

I really would like to find homes for these guys, rather than
have them put to sleep. 

If your interested or Know of any one that is interested
Please send me email at ICS::SWAN

Thank you

    I Still Have LOTS of kittens who are looking for homes 
    If you know of anyone who may be interested please
    contact me at ICS::SWAN 


	These kittens are located in Leominster Mass - 
	they have NOT had any of their shots, and they 
	have not been spayed or neutered. 
    
    
    I was able to place 2 of the little creatures, But I also
    was able to catch one more from under the next door neighbors
    shed (there is still one left with the mother, living under
    the shed)
    
    so...what I have now is 
    
    
	Two orange ones, short haired, with stripes sort of, and white paws
        and bibs - (cuties) 
    	One greyish one with stripes - short hair, (a real cutie, hes a
        little tiny thing, but has a great personality)
	They are about 6 or 7 weeks old. 
	They are eating and drinking on their own.
    
	And two left from the other litter 
    
        1 calico - all dark colors, browns, rust, black, no white,
	short haired. 
	And one black with white socks, and moustache - medium to long hair

	I dont know for sure what sex they are, I 'think' they are all 
	females. 

	I really would like to find homes for these guys, they really 
    	need more attention than I can give them, and I really need 
    	to place them before I can take the mothers to the vet to 
        be fixed - and Im getting worried about the mother who is 
        living under the neighbors shed being pregnant again. 
    
	If your interested or Know of any one that is interested
	Please send me email at ICS::SWAN - If I dont find homes 
        within the next two weeks, I will have to bring them to 
    	a shelter. 

	Thank you

  My neighbor and I found a beautiful, shorthaired, black male around
  our neighborhood.  He's probably about 8 months old.  Very friendly,
  clean, and loves to be loved!  I have been feeding him and she's been 
  feeding him and giving him shelter.    I would love to take him
  in, but I have three kitties of my own.  My female literally screams
  when he comes around to eat.  My neighbor has a couple of indoor cats
  that refuse to even try and be friendly.  She's had him for about 3
  months now.  He's an outdoor kitty, and she takes him in around dinner
  and keeps him in her garage for shelter.  She says that he's great with 
  children.  If you know anyone looking for a good cat, please let me
  know.  We'd like him to go to a nice home and not a shelter.  
  Right now - Mr. Kitty lives in Nashua, NH.

  Thanks!

We have several kittens, 8 weeks old with no shots who
are ready for a new home.

There are tigers, a black and white (cow color), and
and other mixed colors.

DTN 381-6088

	The kittens in Note 4.786/787 are still available. 

	They will be 11 and 12 weeks old next week and 
	I have called the shelter to make an appointment 
	to bring them to the shelter some time next week

	I REALLY dont want to bring them to the shelter. 
	They are such good kitties, they are boxed trained, 
	they go in and out of the cat door on our porch. 

	They all have the run of the house during the night,
	and are very well behaved. 

	PLEASE PLEASE, if you know of ANYONE who would be 
	interested in giving any of them a good home, let me
	know - send mail to ICS::SWAN

    Hi All
    
    It is with deep sadness that I must try to find a new home for my
    boys.  Dillan is a 12 year old tiger tabby and Sammie is an 11 year old
    all black.  THEY MUST GO TOGETHER, this is not under negotiation.
    
    We are in Basingstoke, Hants (UK). 
    
    Do any of the UK noters know of any rescue homes or people who take in 
    Cats but do not have dogs where they could settle and be happy for
    whatever time they have left?
    
    Please send mail to Sharon Leyland @UVO or KERNEL::LEYLANDS or call me

    Victor stayes at home, but likes to stretch his bones and muscles
    outside. He loves companion. Most of the time he follows me and
    lays down next to me wherever I sit at home.
    
    He is no pure breed, but looks pretty; grey with gentle dark stripes,
    white breast and white feet; about 12 lbs; eats twice a day (9-Lives
    cannned food).
    
    I tried shelters in the area, but they're all loaded and do not accept

    Hi,
    
    I am in desperate need of finding a good home for Fritz my 3 yr old
    neutered male. I am moving to arizona next week and thought my friends
    were going to take him, but as it turns out there was a difference of
    opinion between them (she wanted him he doesn't and he owns the house!)
    Fritz is an OUTDOOR cat and in the warmer months only comes inside in
    the morning to eat and is right back out... He sleeps outside this time
    of year as well. He does come inside during the winter months though.
    
    Fritz is a tan and brown tiger cat. He's up to date on his shots, has
    tested negative for feline leukemia and was vaccinated for it last
    year. Fritz is friendly and is a very mellow kitty. If worse comes to
    worse we will take him with us (along with our other 4 cats) but I
    feel he would be happiest going outside and as of right now I am 
    not sure if that would be the case in arizona.
    
    If anyone would like him or knows of anyone who would be interested 
    please contact me on hotlne::waxman or x6276 up to thursday and
    at 508-229-8782. I will be leaving august 1 so I would have to know
    for sure by saturday the latest.

    My sister and her family just moved back from Florida, and
    they have two cats that they need to find homes for because
    the cats cannot stay with them at their temporary residence.
    
    One is female white/buff angora, blue eyes, who has been
    spayed and declawed.  The other is a black and white angora
    male who also has been declawed and neutered.  They are household
    cats who are litter-box trained.
    
    These loves are free to a good home.  Please write if your interested
    and I'll call my sister.  The cats are in Medway right now.

    Two kittens need a good home.  I have recently aquired two kittens
    that need a new home. They are 5 months old and have not had 
    any shots.  I have been keeping them in the house, but because
    of my stepdaughters allergies, I must give them up.
    
    One of them, we call Garfield.. He is very friendly, affectionate,
    and loves to be pet.  He is Similar to the color of a tiger cat, but
    the only "stripes" on him are around the end of his tail and near
    his paws.  He's not quite "orange" but more beige colored.
    
    The other kitten, we call Patches... She is very self entertaining.
    She doesn't mind being picked up and pet but she won't stay for
    long.. There is too much to explore.  She is mostly gray, but has
    little "patches" of tan.  
    
    Garfield isn't crazy about our dog, but Patches will tolerate him.
    I think Garfield would be more tolerant of the dog, but Ben chases
    them so much (Ben is still a puppy).
    
    I would prefer to keep them together, as they are litter-mates and
    have been together all along.  If I can't, then I will let them
    go seperately.
    
    Thanks,

I have pictures I could interoffice mail to you.
The cats are in North Yarmouth, Maine. I'll be picking up the one
that I am adopting in a week or so. 

If you are sure you'd like to adopt one of these beautiful cats, I will
deliver or meet you somewhere in the New Hampshire/Mass areas (negotiable).

I believe both cats are neutered/spayed, and the do have their claws.

    After a lot of soul searching and many attempts to find a solution that
    would allow us to keep the family together, we've decided that it's in
    the best interests of us all to find another home for our cat,
    Rhiannon.
    
    There are a few notes scattered through this file about her; she was a
    stray I adopted from the local animal hospital. She's a friendly (and
    chatty) cat who likes to be around people. Although there were no
    problems with two of our three dogs, there just doesn't seem to be an
    acceptable middle ground for Rhiannon and our newest dog, a toy breed
    who (we guess) tries to play with the cat like another dog and the cat
    gets hurt. She doesn't have any front claws and can't adequately defend
    herself against the puppy's rough-housing.
    
    We'd like to find a good home for Rhiannon with no dogs; I'm not sure
    how she would fit in with other cats, she's never lived with others as
    long as we've known of her.
    
    She's just under three years old, and so hopefully has a long and happy
    life ahead of her, but unfortunately for us it will have to be with a
    different family.

    The following female kitty is in desparate need of finding a new
    home.   She is a needy kitty in my neighborhood who just recently
    had a litter of kittens and brought the kittens home to me.  The
    first night we saw this female was when she was starving and digging
    through the rubbish.  We found her walking down my driveway with
    an Alpo Can stuck on her head.  Since that time I have been 
    feeding her daily...but because of my overpopulation of cats
    at home (13 in total...not including the kittens she brought
    home)...I cannot take her in.  PLEASE help me find her a home...
    she is too delicate to be out on her own.
    
      Absolute beautiful, young, petite, medium hair female who is 
      approximately 1 year old.   She is very UNIQUE because she is 
      tri-colored (light orange, white and brown) with tabby stripped
      feet with white toes and a beautiful patched tabby body.  Her
      belly is white and she has this huge raccoon tail.  Her
      coloring and pattern is very beautiful and unique.
    
      She has a very sweat disposition...loves to be petted.  She
      specifically loves her head petted...and she will roll on her
      back for more.   She gets along fine with other cats...and
      even though she is very petite and non-aggresive...she can
      handle herself with more aggresive kitties. (she's no wimp!!)
      She does not seem to be too bothered by dogs either....
    
      I am in the process of making an appointment to spay, test,
      and vaccinate this little girl.   BUT I am desparately trying
      to find her a home so I do NOT have to put her back in the
      neighborhood once she has all her medical work.  I just found
      her littermate a home and they were real buddies...so my heart
      is breaking seeing her outside alone.
    
    If anyone is interested in seeing her...PLEASE feel free to
    write to me (USCTR1::MERRITT_S) or call me at home at
    508-342-2985.

    Would anyone be interested in a free kitten?  There are four available,
    all grey. Looks like they're going to be long-hairred, and they appear
    to all be female.  One of them has white paws but otherwise they are
    all grey.  Very cute and needing a home!  They should be ready to leave
    their mother within 2-3 weeks.  If anyone is interested, please let her
    know.  Her name is Holly and she can be reached via DTN 264-4304 x 7119
    or outside 603-884-4304 x 7042.  She works in the Merrimack NH office.
    
    An additional note from Holly stated that the actual owner of the
    mother, not Holly, has talked about just dumping the kittens
    *somewhere* so she is desparate to find homes for them.

    The person I'm filling in for (Michelle) found two 6-8 week old
    kittens left in a cemetary, that were left for dead.  She said they
    were scrawny and starving, but she's managed to feed and care for them
    at the expense of the rest of the established family pets 
    (she just had to put her dog down on Monday as well).  Her adult
    cat hasn't come home since the kittens came inside.
    
    I don't have many details on them, but one is a black/white
    cat (they named Oreo).  The other is a calico-cat and has
    a disfigured paw (it's backward), but doesn't seem to bother her
    ability to get around.  They've been with a family as they are
    litter trained and are very loving kitties, according to Michelle.
    
    She doesn't want to take them to the shelter, because of the
    possibility of euthenasia.  I'd take them home but my husband
    hates cats.
    
    Please feel sorry and adopt them for free....Call Michelle at home
    for more details!
    
    Thanks - Kathy.

    I have 3 kittens which are 6 weeks old as of this Monday.  They were
    wiened about a week ago from their mother and are eating solid food on
    their own, so they are ready to go.  I originally had all of them
    given away, but 2 people backed out and I decided not to keep one of 
    them for ourselves.
    
    There are 2 black (1 male, 1 female) and 1 gray (female).  If you are
    interested give me a call at home @ 508-365-5989 or send EMail to
    YIELD::ENMAN.
    

    I'm posting this for a friend who is going to grad school in NYC.  She 
    needs a temporary home for her cat (see attached message).  I would take 
    him myself but I already have 4 fosters as well as my own 4 cats in a 1

    I need to find a special home for a female kitty.  She showed up in our
    yard back in late June.  We would keep her except for one unfortunate
    thing.  She has feline leukemia and we already have a kitty.  She is
    really and truly a wonderful kitty and is currently very healthy.  A
    pamphlet from the vet gives these kitties about 70% chance of living a
    normal life--40% chance that they will get over it and 30% chance of
    just being a carrier.  The vet thinks she is approximately 1-2 years
    old.  She is a short hair brown tiger/tabby with black markings.  Her
    tail looks like a racoon's.  She is extremely affectionate and will
    head butt your hand so you keep petting her.  She is also very playful
    and loves food.  She weighs 10.4 lbs.  She has a really cute meow and
    very sweet disposition.
    
    I am hoping to find a single cat home for her or someone who has a
    leukemia positive cat already.  She got all her shots when we
    brought her to the vet in June and appears to be spayed (the vet shaved
    fur off her belly and there is a scar).  She is currently living on our
    very small porch and desperately needs to be in someone's home.  It
    breaks my heart to see her meowing and looking up at me with her big
    golden eyes through the window because she wants to come in.
    
    If anyone is interested in seeing her or knows of anyone who would be
    interested, PLEASE feel free to write to me (DONVAN::SHEA) or call me
    at DTN 381-1997 or at home -- (603)882-9975.

    The following four kittens are up for adoption.  These kittens
    are the ones that the two Pregnant Mom's dropped off at my door 
    step in July.   These kittens have been Fostered by my sister
    for the Pat Brody Shelter for Cats, so they have had plenty of
    love and attention.  The shelter is so overwhelming crowded at 
    this time there is no room for these little tykes.
    
    They are all about 12 weeks old and are at the vets today getting
    spayed/neutered, tested for Feluk/FIV, and having their shots. If
    anyone is interested in these kittens, we will request a $50 donation
    be made to the shelter to cover some of their medical costs.  
    
     NARLA - Beautiful short hair tri colored Torti female.  Narla
     is quiet, gentle and will make a wonderful lap cat.  She loves
     to lay on her back and have her belly rubbed for hours.
    
     DARBY - Gorgeous long hair white with gray female.  Darby is
     mostly white with a gray spot on her head, gray heart spot on
     her back and a cute all gray tail.  She is very playful and needs
     alot of attention.   She is a talker...and loves to nibble on
     your hand/face/hair.  
    
     TOM - Gray/white short hair tuxedo kitty who is leader of the pack. He 
     has the cutest gray spot in the middle of his pink nose. He is
     very energetic, playful, confident, and very inquistive.  He's the
     first one to get in trouble...and the rest follow!
    
     JERRY - Orange/white short hair Mackeral tabby who is the sweetest 
     kitty.  He is very shy, cuddly, a purr bucket, and just loves to be 
     petted.
    
    If anyone is interested (PLEASE) in these kittens, feel free
    to contact me at work USCTR1::MERRITT_S or at home at 508-342-2985.

    A friend of mine took in a stray cat a few months ago and "Theo"
    has settled in quite nicely.  Unfortunately, my friend is getting
    divorced and just sold her house.  The apartment complex she got
    into does not allow pets, so now, much to her disappointment, she
    has to find him a new home.
    
    Theo is a black/white tuxedo cat.  He's had all his shots and is
    quite healthy.  She found out (the gross way) that he also appears
    to be a good mouser, probably from when he was fending for himself
    outside.
    
    We have no idea how old he is, but it appears he's been neutered.
    
    She'll be moving around September 25, so we need to find him a home,
    fast.
    
    If you're interested, please contact me GOOEY::JUDY, 381-2253 and I'll
    put you in touch with her.
    
    Thanks

I've put this off much longer than I should have, so here goes.  

I need to find a new home for my beloved Bandit.  Some of you may remember 
her from the previous notesfile.  We took her in 4 years ago as an abandoned 
2-week old kitten.  We quickly discovered that there was something wrong 
with her front legs, one leg being quite deformed.  Well, Bandit has grown 
up to be a wonderful cat, apparently oblivious to the fact that she's 
physically challenged.  She runs around, climbs the 4-foot cat tree, and 
turns into a purr-ball when you rub her belly!

The problem is that our other 2 cats, who we had for 2-1/2 years before 
Bandit came along, have never accepted her.  They are constantly beating up 
on her.  They even try to prevent her from using the litter boxes.  Bandit 
spends a lot of her time in hiding.  

The times we have gone on vacation, we've left her with my parents (without 
the other two) and she's turned into a relaxed, purring lap-cat.  As soon 
as we bring her home, the fireworks begin again.  Unfortunately, my parents 
cannot take her permanently.

Bandit is a 4-year old, black and white tuxedo cat, with medium-length 
hair.  She is neutered and is an indoor-only cat.  She has a tendency to 
nip if she gets overstimulated or feels she's cornered, so she shouldn't go 
to a house with small children.  Some of the things she enjoys: playing
fetch with crumpled sheets of paper; flopping down at my feet when I come
in the door so I can rub her belly; greeting me in the morning by licking
my forehead. 

PLEASE, if you know of anyone who would be interested in taking Bandit, let 
me know right away.  I would be willing to give her to someone on a trial 
basis and would take her back if things didn't work out.  And please, no 
suggestions on how to make things work out at my house.  Believe me, over 
the last 4 years we have tried everything!  I'm doing this because I 
believe it will be the best thing for Bandit.

    "Guinness" is looking for a good home...
    
    I have been feeding a stray/lost male cat at OCONNORS restauraunt 
    in Worcester, Mass. He lives in the wooded area on the left
    side of the restauraunt. He is unneutered, short hair, black, probably
    around a year old..
    
    Guinness has been doing fine outside, but now that it's getting
    colder out, he would love to find a good home with a nice warm
    and dry place to sleep.
    
    I would love to keep him, but with 4 dogs and 4 cats already, there
    is no room for any more animals.
    
    If you'd like to see him, just stop by OCONNORS restauraunt and look
    around the wooded area on the left side of the building. I'll foot
    the bill for neutering and all shots.

    Two adorable little ragdolls - brother and sister, about 7 weeks old.
    I got them a couple days ago, but I think I'm allergic to them since
    I've had a sinus headache and scratchy throat since I got them. 
    They are tan - male has chocolate points and the female has chocolate
    ears, marble face, and white paws and chest - both are very cute and
    cuddly.
    
    They've already had their first vet visit, but need a follow up
    visit in three weeks - for #2 vaccines.
    
    If you're interested, give me a call or send email.

    A while back I put a note in to find a home for Bootsie, a beautiful 13
    year old cat.  He's long-haired, black with white face and feet.  His
    owner was put into a rest home and Central Animal Hospital in
    Leominster has had him since May.  Last night when I was down there I
    got to meet Bootsie for the first time.  He's a handsome cat and very
    friendly.  If I didn't have so many cats of my own, I wouldn't hesitate
    to take him.  He's in very good health and doesn't look 13 years old. 
    I'm sure he misses the home he had for so many years, and I know from
    spending a little time with him last night that he'd love to have a
    place to call home again - not to mention some TLC.
    
    I wanted to tell people about him again because maybe there's someone
    out there who would like a loving, healthy adult cat to has a lot of
    love to give.  Maybe there is someone who has an older family member
    who would welcome the company.
    
    If interested, please feel free to contact me at DTN 226-2288 or at
    LJSRV1::MARX.  I'd be happy to arrange a visit with him.
    
    Regards,

    I have two cats which I must give up as I am relocating to San
    Francisco in four weeks.  They are both about 2 years old with short
    hair and are very loving pets.   Izzy is brown, slightly older and
    "full figured".  She's playfull, loves attention and is a lap warmer. 
    Abbey is black and white, petite and slow to warm to new people, but
    when she does, will follow you everywhere!  Abbey needs to have her
    teeth brushed everyday with poultry flavored toothepaste as she does
    not create the enzyme most cats have that keep their teeth cleed
    naturally.  They are indoor cats and have not been declawed, have had
    all of their shots and have been spayed.

    	There is a grey tiger striped cat (kitten ?) thats been around
    my house for about a month +.  I feed it every day but with colder
    weather coming I would really like to find someone thats looking for 
    a cat to take it.  Its very freindly and loves to be petted it looks
    young maybe under a year. so if you know of anybody that wants a nice
    pet please send me mail.  I live in Gardner but could bring it to 
    Hudson Ma if some one was sure they wanted it.  I would keep it but
    already have one to many pets.  I don't really know much about cats
    so I can't tell the sex, or reproductive status of this cat but it
    seems like a very nice cat.

	Bother and Sister Kittens Looking for a Home

      		*where the cat is located (include the STATE!)
I live in Lyndeborough, NH.  On July 15, 1995 I returned from vacation
to discover that a mother and her brand new babies had moved into my barn.
For folks who have never heard of Lyndeborough, it is about an hours drive 
from Littleton, less from Nashua and Merrimack.

    		 gender (and if the cat has been neutered/spayed)
One kitten is a female, the other a male.  They are too young to be "altered".
The mother is going to be spayed on Oct. 6.

    		 age
The babies are now about 11 weeks old.  

    		 long-hair/short-hair
I don't know much about cats.  They are not short-haired.  Is there such
a thing as medium-haired?

    		 coat pattern
Both kittens are dark, as in grayish black to black.  The female has a
more light streaks.  I think that there is a distinct pattern as
opposed to splotches.

    		 breed
Your guess is better than mine.  At Agway I saw a picture of some
Maine Coon Cats.  They look sort of like these kittens.

    		 size		
The mother is small.  The kittens are kitten size.

        	 endearing traits
They are kittens.

		 anything else you may think is important (indoor or
			    outdoor, shy or friendly, etc.)

For the last 6 or 7 weeks this family has lived exclusively in our laundry
room.  From day 1 they all seem to have understood the concept of a litter
box.  Prior to this I presume that the mother was an out door cat.

The mother cat started out being very shy.  It would not surprise me if
she was "out on her own" for quite a while.  She was nothing but skin
and bones.  Now the mother, though shy at first, is quite friendly, purrs
readily when patted.  However, she is easily frightened.

Last Friday the entire family went to the vet for first round of shots.
Everyone is getting everything for which they are old enough.  They have
some future appointments scheduled in a month for updates.

My hope is that some family would like to adopt the brother and sister
together.  They seem to do most everything together.  I'm not sure how
they would fare apart.

Taker of the kittens (or anyone else for that matter) is also welcome to
the mother.  My guess is that she is less "adoptable" then the cute
little kittens.  Once her kittens have found a new home, if no one
wants the mother I suspect that we will return her to our barn
where she can stay or go as she pleases.  (We already have a family
cat who has not taken kindly to the disruption of HER happy home.)

My parents have 3 kittens living in their back yard.  They're about 3-4
months, I would guess.  My father started feeding them about a month ago 
because they were still nursing and putting a big strain on 
the mother cat.  Now the mother is gone, and these poor little things 
are alone.  One of them has become very friendly.  It comes right into 
the house mewing for dinner.  We can pet it and it purrs.  The other two
are much more cautious, but are getting friendlier.

And now that winter is coming, we're very concerned about these little
creatures.  We'd love to find homes for them before it's too late.
We've called lots of shelters, but they're all full.  The animal hospitals
tell us to take them to the SPCA (but we know what they'll do to them
there...).

The friendliest one is a beautifully marked calico.  She/he is so clean
and healthy looking - you'd never know it was an outdoor cat.  The 
second one is a mottled gray/black kitty, and the third is a fluffy black
cat.  All three are beautiful cats.

Please try to help find these kittens a home.  They are located in North 
Andover, MA, but if it's not possible to get there, we can certainly arrange 
something.  

You can contact my parents directly, at 508-686-5885, or send me mail 
at STAR::SGEORGE, or call me at home at 508-456-8761.  Any help or ideas on 
what to do will be appreciated!
    

    Due to an unavoidable family problem, one of my "nephews" needs a new
    home. Sniffles is a 1.5 year old Scottish fold. He is a perk, white and
    cream van. [translation: his ears stand up and he is spotted but almost
    all white]. He has a perfect Scottish fold gait. [he walks cute]. He
    has a British short hair face with jowels [looks a little like his
    auntie, I guess]. He is not aggressive, but he likes to play. He was
    raised with a dog. He is up to date on all his shots and has been
    neutered. He is an indoor cat, but recently had a 12 day adventure
    thanks to a successful escape attempt. He is about 11-12 pounds and,
    although he has his claws, has not attempted any liberties with the
    furniture. 
    
    I sat for Sniffles from birth to about 8 weeks and knew his mother
    well. I sit for his uncle and sister and they are adorable. Sniffles
    is being fostered in Grafton, MA. at the moment. Please give me at call
    if you are interested.

    A little while ago I was looking for kittens, have since adopted two
    from the Humane Society. Today a girl with two finally returned my
    call, but I'm all set. She has two kittens, one male one female. Here's
    the info I got from her today.
    
    Both are short hair, very friendly, and were born August 30th !!
    
    male - Grey with some white, I think on the paws/chest
    
    female - Grey/white with some "Blond", she calls it "Marilyn" because
    of the blond hair! Says it what's called a "money cat".
    
    Contact Tracey Finley at work at 888-6307 (Friendlys at Pheasant Lane
    Mall, she is there 6 days either day/evening, leave message/number if
    not there) She has no home phone. If you have trouble with that number
    contact me and I'll get her parents number to pass messages on).

    I may need to give up my gorgeous, long-haired tortoise-shell
    Persian. Zecky is about 9 years old, very good natured, and 
    an in-doors only cat.
    
    She has always been an "only" cat, so at her age, she would probably 
    do best continuing in the same mode.
    
    She comes complete with a 20 pound bag of IAMs, toys, litter box, 
    food dishes, etc.
    
    I am waiting to hear from my landlady whether or not Z can stay.
    If not, I would like to place her ASAP.
    
    Please contact me at work or at home. Numbers listed below.

    8 month of male tiger kitten looking for home.  He is gold/white with
    some strips and is named Goldie.  He is all up to date with shots and
    neutered. I need to find him home soon as my new lease will not allow
    any pets.  He is full of energy and very playful. The shelters will
    not accept any cats/kitten since they are full and I don't know what
    else to do.  If you are looking for kitten, please send me mail.  He
    has been indoor since I had him and has no other contacts with children
    or other pets.
    
    

    We are moving to France in less than 2 months and need to find a quiet
    home for a quiet, 12 year old, declawed (front only) female, short
    haired, grey cat.  We cannot take her because we will be absent quite a
    bit due to home leaves, vacation and other travel.  This will make it 
    impractical to care for her overseas - also not sure she could withstand 
    the quarantine requirement.  
    
    Molly is an indoor cat who, frankly, is not too thrilled
    by and is fearful of children.  I now have three small children -
    al of whom came along after Molly and she still hasn't really warmed up
    to them.  Therefore, a quiet home would be best for this no-trouble
    cat.

    The neighborhood ferals and semi-ferals have decided that 14 cats
    *in* the house doesn't meet our quota...  We have seven youngsters
    we need to find homes for, 5 about 6 months old, and 2 (so far)
    about 4 or 5 weeks old.  These have been barn cats and stone wall
    cats.  Most of them have become well socialized, and would have
    no trouble adapting to indoor or indoor/outdoor life.
    
    The barn cat's momma has also reappeared after leaving about two
    days before we were going to grab her and take her to be neutered.
    She'd also like a home.
    
    We'd love to keep some of these, but at 14 cats, 1 dog, and 7 llamas,
    our house and our vet budget is at maximum capacity.
    
    The Barn Cats
    
    Miss Kitty - Light grey tabby female, outgoing and a great hunter.
    Mr. Medium - Medium grey tabby male, the friendliest of the lot.
    Stripette - *Beautiful* brown/black/tan tiger female, a little shy.
    George - Orange tabby male, good at greasing legs and talking.
    Dark Grey One - Dark grey tabby male, loves laps.  (This little
    	guy decided to go play in the road, so he's now recuperating
    	from 2 broken legs.  The splint is off and he can move with
    	surprising speed.  He's currently living in our llama office.)
    Momma Cat - Just showed up again after dropping the kittens this
    	spring and disappearing.  Tortoiseshell-type markings,
    	very friendly.
    
    The Stone Wall Cats
    
    Rocky - Tiger male, took to us quickly and now wants to explore
    	*everything*.
    Bullwinkle - Orange ?, just found this morning in the barn, visiting.
    	Scooped up and put in the house with his brother.

    Kitsy is Himilayan - (not 100%, but looks it)...She is 5 years old, has
    the coloring of a Himilayan, Blue eyes, but not the pushed in face of
    one.  She thrives on a lot of attention...preferably an elderly lady.
    Definitely a 'lap cat'.  She was declawed and spade and is 'strictly' 
    a house cat.
    
    Mitsy is dark grey and white.  She is shorthaired, has white around her face 
    and paws. Very affectionate, once she gets to know you.  She is declawed
    and spade as well.
    
    Both cats are were 5 years old in April, 1995.
    
    Allergies in household cannot tolerate shedding of fur.

    If I can't place these two soon, I'm going to have to pursue an animal
    rescue league or as a 'last alternative', the humane society (I really
    don't want to do that).

    This cat was found in Merrimack, he was living in the woods for 3 weeks
    and this lady was feeding him.  She put a lost ad in the paper and
    since we're missing ours, my husband went to check him out and brought
    him home.  He's living in the cellar.  He will not even try to get
    along w/the other cat and dogs.
    
    He has been neutered, don't know his age-he doesn't care to play.
    He is very large and a BIG cuddler.  I can't believe someone isn't
    looking for him.
    
    If you know of anyone who may be interested in giving him a better home
    than living in the cellar please call.
    
    Thanks,
    Diane

I found a young female tiger cat had taken up residence under my 
garden shed this summer and birthed three kittens.  She's tame, sweet,
and has now had all her shots and has been spayed.  She's all tiger
markings--she doesn't show a bit of white!  She's talkative, 
affectionate, and clearly was raised in a home.  No one has claimed
her.  She's located in the Maynard, MA area.  All the kittens have 
found homes, but I'd love to place her in a good home directly rather
than send her to a shelter.  Feline Leukemia Negative.  Rabies and
distemper shots all current.  Let me know if you can help out.

    I have two stray female kittens that need a home ASAP. They are
    about 6-8 months old and are both yellow tigers. One is small,
    petite and has short hair. She loves to cuddle and is pretty out
    going. She is not afraid to strike at other cats that get in her
    way. The other very pretty and has medium long hair with white markings 
    on her legs and face. She is a little timid and shy, but is starting
    to come out of hiding more. She is so quiet you barely know she
    is around. Both of them are very friendly and affectionate. They
    are both litter box trained. 
    
    I took them into the house Thanksgiving day, because I felt bad
    for them being out in the cold. I would like to keep them, but
    I have two small dogs and a large neutered male cat that are not
    fond of the idea. The dogs chase the new kitties when they try
    to walk around the house. My male cat feels so rejected that he
    is not eating well and he is staying outside more. If these
    kitties don't find a home soon I am afraid I will have to
    throw them back out into the cold.

      Age: 4 months
      Color: Black
      Hair: short
      Sex: Male
      Litter box trained
      Has had first series of shots
      
      He's one of six born to an outdoor cat who adopted us.  Three of his
      siblings have found homes.  We were going to keep the other three,
      but two of his brothers met untimely deaths in the past week (1 hit
      by a car, 1 encountered a dog.)  He's spent most of his life outside
      during the day, and in our mudroom at nights (our 4 indoor cats do
      not approve of him moving inside!)  We're afraid he'll meet the same
      fate as his brothers, so we'd like to find him a safer home.

    I am trying to find a home for a kitten (about 6 to 8 months old) 
    that started hanging around our yard about a month and a half ago. 
    
    It appeared that she had been living outside since she was born. 
    She was not accustomed to being handled, and to being indoors. 
    
    I have managed to catch her, and she has gone to the vets, she has 
    had all of her tests and shots. 
    
    She has adjusted well to our 5 other cats, and spends lots of time 
    inside with them. She still needs some coaxing to feel comfortable 
    around humans, but given the time, Im sure she will be fine. 
    
    I really can not keep her, our 5 cats are more than I can keep up
    with food wise, cleaning wise and $$ wise. Ive placed 6 other kittens
    (yes we were up to 11 felines at one point in time, all strays that 
    had adopted us) so Im hoping to have good luck here and to place this
    one also and not resort to a shelter. 
    
    I can be reached at 223-1666 or send mail to ICS::SWAN. 
    
    Thank you

Hi.

I need to find a new home for Obia, my beautiful black, short-haired cat that
I've had for the last three years.  He lives with me in Manchester, NH and
is about 3 1/2 years old.  He has been neutered and has had all his shots.
Obia is double-pawed, has claws, and, according to his vet, is in excellent
condition (not overweight).  This is probably because he spends a lot of time
outdoors.  He does sleep inside, though, and loves to sit on my lap and purr
while I watch T.V. or read.  He thrives on attention and is VERY curious.
His favorite game is chasing string.  Once he's pounced on it, though, he
expects a reward in the form of petting!  Obia is the perfect Halloween cat,
with only a little white on his chest to offset his black coat.

If you are interested in giving Obia a new home, please call me at 
DTN 381-0049 or send me e-mail (tmark@zk3.dec.com).

    I need to find a home for an older cat.  The lady that had this cat
    just died.
    
    Samanatha is a very sweet older cat, around 10 years.  She is spayed
    and declawed.  She has a comical personality but is also quiet.  She
    likes to drink water out of a glass (yours if you aren't careful),
    doesn't eat a lot and has all her shots.  She is black and her coat is
    short.
    
    She weighs about 10 pounds.
    
    
    Samanatha needs to find a home by January because the son is moving out
    of state and doesn't want her.  Samanatha has also been an indoor cat
    at an apartment and would need to continue being an indoor cat.
    
    If you are interested, please contact me.

    Samanatha lives in the Nashua, NH area.

    Unfortunately, I'm desperately looking for a home for the cream tabby
    brittish shorthair mentioned in 166.22-.40.  The owner has decided that
    she's just too afraid of infection to risk having her around.  At the
    moment, Legacy is living with a friend of hers, but unfortunately she
    cannot keep her.
    
    Details:
    
    Breed:  Brittish Tabby (purebred)
    Color:  Cream tabby (really a pretty color)
    sex:  Female, Spayed
    Age:  ~7 years old
    Claws:  She has been declawed in the front
    
    Temperment:  Legacy is one of the sweetest cats I've ever known. 
    She'll walk up to you and rub her body up against your legs, or she'll
    give "kisses", by headbutting your nose.  She's REALLY sweet.  The kind
    of cat who won't try and sleep up near your face, but will be perfectly
    comfortable at the end of the bed at your feet.  However, she is a very
    timid cat, and would shy away if there was another aggressive cat in
    the house.  Currently she is the only cat in her house, but she MAY get
    along with another timid cat.
    
    
    PLEASE.. We're DESPERATE to find Legacy a home.  If you know of anyone
    looking for a cat, please contact me.  Please send me mail, as I have
    no time for notes anymore.
    
    Regards,
    
    Holly

    This cat has been abandoned.  It is located in Nashua, NH.  Our male
    cat will not allow it in the house, we've been keeping food, etc. in
    the garage.
    
    We believe its a neutered male.  He has long hair, is orange/tiger
    striped, and has a lion like mane.  Estimated weight is 14 lbs.  
    
    This cat has a great personality, is friendly and loving, when picked
    up it purrrrrrrs and is "talkative".
    
    This cat deserves a loving home, which we can not provide.  He will 
    come with food and litter box and we'll take care of shots.
    
    Please feel free to call Audrey at 603-888-4255 for more information or
    to adopt.
    
    Thank You.
                

    About a month ago, I found a longhaired, all-black cat eating
    out of my trash cans.  He was very skiddish and wouldn't come 
    near me.  I started leaving food out, and he'd come every night
    to eat.
    
    When the weather dipped in the teens, I couldn't stand seeing him
    staying outside in the freezing cold, so I trapped him and have been
    keeping him in my spare room.  At first, he just sat in a corner
    acting scared and meowing a lot.  By the next day, however, he
    realized I wasn't going to hurt him, and he's now rolling around,
    sitting in my lap, drooling with contentment and giving head-butts.
    
    He had his first vet checkup last night, and tested negative for
    Feluk/FIV.  Other than a small case of earmites, he was declared
    healthy.  He was spayed this morning and is due to come home tonight.
    
    He's a big, beautiful kitty, weighing in at 12 lbs.  He loves attention
    and will be content to sit in your lap for hours.  I have 5 cats of
    my own right now, and really don't want to take on a 6th if I can 
    help it.
    
    I'm taking care of all the medical bills and really would like to
    see him go to a good home.  If you or someone you know are interested,
    please call today at DTN 227-3890, or call me at home (I'm on vacation
    all next week) at 508-345-0877.
    
    thanks!

    Just wanted to mention - I put ads in the paper, put posters up
    at the local vets and called dog officers and shelters, and no one
    has reported him missing in almost two weeks.  So I'm assuming
    the kitty in 4.861 is a stray.
    
    Pam

A stray female cat is looking for a loving home. She is very cute, 
under 1 year old, a short-haired, some kind of gray/blue color.
She had been abandoned and had lived at backyard of Fitchburg Animal Clinic 
for a several months. Because she was very skittish they could not
capture her until the snow fell. Presently, she is in Fitchburg
Animal Clinic and starts to trust people again. 

I am certain that this kitten could make a great company for anybody.
I can tell, because I'm 'mother' of 4 former strays. They are the
best pets I ever had.

If anybody would be interested in taking this kitty please call me
at DTN 223-3810 or (508)840-0452. I'll take care of all shots and
even spaying if necessary.

Jana       

    I have several cats that I am looking for homes for.  They have
    either been retired or won't be used in my program.  Due to 
    "numbers" I cannot keep every kitty (wish I could!).
    
    I have Blueberry, a solid blue very petite Oriental female.  She is a
    very happy cat and about two years old.  She would need to be spayed. 
    Her best and cutest trait is that she loves to repeatedly give you
    little licks or kisses.
    
    There is also Beans and Frank (Franklin really) who are both seal 
    lynx Colorpoints.  They are brothers and are about 7 1/2 months old.
    Both are very affectionate, Frank likes to head butt and bite your
    chin.  Beans is cuddly and has dreamy eyes. They must go together.
    
    Ping is a blue silver spotted Oriental male kitten.  He is only
    four months old and I am asking $ for him.
    
    There is also a 3 year old chocolate lynx female Mary.  
    
    I would prefer to try to match personalities with these kitties.
    Some need to be neutered or spayed but are up to date on shots.
    A good home that is indoors only is the best.
    
    All of these kitties are in the Massachusetts area and are free to
    a good home (cept ping).

    I was over at the West Valley Pet Shelter in Campbell last night
    checking on how 3 semi-feral kittens were doing in their efforts
    to become formerly feral (a friend had trapped them and taken them
    in).  They were doing great and the shelter already had bunches of
    calls on them.  However, they won't be adopted out until they shelter
    is sure they'll adopt nicely to their new homes.
    
    But, the real reason for this post is to let everyone in the San Jose/
    Campbell (general SF Bay Area) know about 3 adult cats they have there
    that need homes.  These cats have been at the shelter since October.
    They're wonderful cats.  I spent time petting all of them last night
    and they're extremely lovable.  These cats are older and are not as
    easily adopted out because of their age.  All of these cats have
    already been altered.
    
    Mango - Red tabby, longhair, male; approx. 5 years old.  He was close 
            to having being adopted at a pet fair by a guy who was totally in 
            with him and couldn't wait to show his wife.  The wife didn't 
    	    want him.  She took the guy aside and told him they didn't want
    	    to get a cat that old.  Mango has a very sweet disposition and 
    	    loves to be petted.  He's also a very cool cat.
    
    Angel - Tortoiseshell (mostly black), longhair, female; approx. 3 years 
    	    old.  I'm totally in love with this cat.  She's got the sweetest 
    	    face and seems so calm.  She's a great cat!  
     
    Zeus  - Brown tabby, shorthair, male; approx. 5+ years old.  I'm told
    	    he is the oldest of the three cats.  He's extremely lovable.
    	    He spent quite a bit of time rubbing all over my hands as I 
    	    stood by his cage.  If you know someone who wants a very 
            affectionate cat this is the one.
    
    Luckily, the shelter is not very full right now so they're able to 
    hold on to these guys a while longer.  That may change over the next
    few months as kitten season starts.  If you know anyone who wants to
    skip kitten stage and start right out with a wonderful adult then be
    sure to send them over to West Valley Pet Shelter, 100 Gilman,
    Campbell, CA. (It's over by the Campbell Par Course.)

    Good Day:

    Of the three cats we previously listed, only one is left.  The others have
    gone to good homes, its is so nice to know that there are people out there
    willing to take these animals that need homes.

    Wally is the only one left.  I would say that his home needs are unique. 
    He is very shy, also very friendly, once you get to know him.  Very loud
    purr.  He doesn't like kids, they are too loud for him, he likes things
    quiet.  He doesn't mind dogs, we have three.  He adored my Mom, so he
    really likes little old ladies, he followed her around like a dog.

    If you know someone that would be interested, please get in touch.

    Thanks...

    Description:

    Male				Blackish random tiger pattern
    5 Years old (approx)		Unknown breed, Tabby looking
    Medium to long length hair		Medium/large size
    Indoor/outdoor cat, De-clawed	Friendly, but shy with strangers

    Wallace, or Wally as we call him, was named after his Veterinarian, Doctor
    Wallace.  We affectionately think of him as the "looney bin" of the house. 
    He is the most comical of the cats and even looks funny.  His tail is too
    big, his back legs are too long and he likes to hide often and sleep a lot. 
    He is shy, but once he becomes attached to you, you cannot get rid of him. 
    He likes to go out, but never strays far from the back door.  Even though
    he has been de-clawed he rules the yard and in all his years has never even
    been scratched defending his territory, I don't know how he does it.  

I have a two year old bluepoint Birman spay that I am looking to adopt
to a loving home.  She is 3/4 way to granding in Premiership and will be
available shortly.  She is loving, friendly and up to date on her shots.
She must be an indoor only cat and the new owner must contractually agree
not to declaw and that she visits the vet once a year.  She must go to
a household where there are no other cats.  She gets very upset by another
cat and doesn't like to share people with one.

She is a really beautiful cat and would make a wonderful pet for an elderly
person since she loves to sit on your lap all the time and sleep with you.

I live in New Hampshire and can be reached most evenings.

    A friend of mine who rescues and adopts out cats after they have had 
    medical attention (shots, spay/neuter etc...) has a beautiful cat 
    who's previous owners were negligent and really did not take care
    of this poor boy.  My friend Sandy is looking for a special home 
    for Stormy. He is a special case because Stormy has tested positive
    for FIV.  But, the good news it is very mild.  He is otherwise healthy, 
    neutured, has combo shots, rabies shot and FIP shot.
    
    Stormy is an adorable 2 year old male cat.  Who is very friendly and
    lovable!  He is a classic black long haired lapcat who has very
    sweet yellow eyes!
    
    Stormy needs someone who can give him alot of tendor loving care!
    
    Call Sandy or Glenn Feldman anytime at home and leave a message or
    call Sandy at work.  I also left my dtn just in case.

	           are white with many cow like black markings.  
	TRAITS:    Beamer's nicknames are Gentle Giant or Tons of fun!!
        	   He has the sweetest dispostion...loves to purr...loves
           	   to play and is SO Gentle when he plays.  It's hard to
           	   believe an 18 pounder would be so gentle...but he never
           	   uses his claws!!!   He seems to accepted many of my cats
           	   with no problems and truly doesn't care if he EVER goes
           	   outside, so I do believe he could become an indoor kitty
           	   with no problems.   He is a talker...especially when he
           	   is hungry!!! It's safe to say...he eats ALOT!!
      
	MEDICAL:   Beamer had already been neutered and we just recently
        	   paid to have him Tested for Feluk and FIV (he is negative)
        	   and also had his booster and Rabie shots.  His medical
         	   records will be delivered with him!!!  

    
	We found Beamer sleeping in my shed during a very cold spell in 
	January.   At that time he had a very bad burn on his hind leg
	which looked infected and awful.   We instantly seeked medical
	attention and his foot has cleared up completely.  We did advertise
	to find his original owners...and we did FIND them.  His new owners
	hadn't owned Beamer for long and came to the conclusion that they
	did NOT want to keep him. (sigh)   They do NOT take good care of him
	and leave him outside most of the time, so Beamer has been living
        at my house for atleast most of the time!!

	If you are interested in meeting Beamer, please feel free to contact
	me at USCTR1::MERRITT_S or call me at home at 508-342-2985.

                                                  

    Back in January I posted the note 4.866 about 3 cats who had been
    at the West Valley Pet Shelter (San Jose/Campbell/Los Gatos, CA
    area) for months without being adopted.  I'm happy to report that 
    both Mango and Zeus were adopted.  Unfortunately, poor Angel is 
    still there waiting for a loving home.  She's been there since 
    October.  Thank the lord they're not so crowded that they'd have 
    to euthanize her.  But, kitten season is coming in the next month 
    or two and things could change.
    
    If you know anyone who wants an adult cat with a really sweet 
    disposition, this is the cat for them.
    
>    Angel - Tortoiseshell (mostly black), longhair, female; approx. 3 years 
>    	    old.  I'm totally in love with this cat.  She's got the sweetest

    Help/Advice needed///
    
    
    A while ago a gentleman entered a note here for a cat that was hanging
    around their place in Nashua.  It fit the description of my cat that
    was lost...  Anyway, it was not him and this lady, is in love w/him but
    cannot keep him.  I gave her a list of shelters (spec. no kill)
    
    She called me back this AM... the cat had disappeared for about 1 1/2
    months, but is back today looking in very bad condition.  He is eating
    and is in her garage.  She has called some shelters and all are full. 
    She cannot keep him due to her other cats and I still have a foster cat
    in my basement.  
    
    Can anyone help or send me mail w/ideas for her.  She sounded beside
    herself w/ this kitty...
    
    Thanks,
    Diane

    In a conversation with my local Pet Store the other day, I learned
    about a cat in need of a new home.  She had left her number with the
    Pet Store in case he could find a home for it:
    
    The cat is 8 months old, "Male Orange Tiger" lives in Wilton, NH.  I 
    called the owner myself the other day and she has to give it up.  It has 
    never been to a Vet they can't afford it.  I KNOW WHY DID THEY GET IT 
    IN THE FIRST PLACE.  Apparently they had two cats.... the other she 
    said, had an accident when it tried to eat out of her Rottie's dish...  
    Need I say more ?  She said the cat seems healthy and is both an indoor 
    and outdoor cat. The cat is very friendly and greets her when she gets 
    home from work every night with lots of talking. 
    
    I hope someone can give this guy a good home.  The lady's name is
    Melissa or her husband is Cliff  # (603) 654-9649. 
    
    
    

    I am looking for a wonderful home for my wonderful kitty -- a very
    beautiful, very loving and very gentle long-haired tortoise-shell
    10 year old Persian.
    
    I am giving her up because my landlady discovered I had her in November
    and I couldn't move at the time. Zecky has since been in two foster homes. I
    was hoping to be able to move by next month to a place where I could
    have her, but that is not possible right now. I would therefore like to 
    find her a loving home.
    
    She is AKC registered and comes with papers. She is neutered, but not
    de-clawed. I have kept up with all of her veterinary care. She has been
    an indoor cat and has mostly been an only cat (even when she is with
    other cats, she seems to think she is the only feline in the world._
    
    Zecky comes complete with toys, litter box, food dish, carrying case,
    comb, etc.
    
    Please send mail by Thursday. 3/8 or after that, call me at (617)
    277-7212.
    
    Thanks (sniff...)

   and this is a really tough note to write but.........

   based on our pending move to Houston and knowing what the temporary
   conditions will be for at least the next 6 months, I have had to
   face the fact that it really would not be fair to the cats to try
   to bring them all with us...............PLEASE, no flames, I really
   *don't* want to do this but I am really trying to think of what's
   best for *them* !!!!!

   I have promised my son that somehow we *will* get his cat down to
   be with us but until we can, she'll stay with his (my son's) god-
   mother.  That still leaves my other three to find homes for within
   the next 2-1/2 weeks (between now and March 17th).......

   I'd really like to place Missy & Patches together - they are sisters,
   litter mates and have always been together.  They're both black&white
   spayed females, I consider them short-haired, indoor-only and have
   not been declawed.  Born February 12, 1993, they just turned 3 years old
   this month.

   Peanut is really *not* a peanut, but he was when he was born !!  He's
   definitely King Tut of the household and I think he'd do just fine 
   either with the girls or on his own - might be some "territory" issues
   to adjust to if he's placed with another cat(s).  He has been neutered 
   and is also indoor-only, not declawed.  Born April 6, 1992, Peanut will
   be 4 years old in April.

   All three are up-to-date on shots, and are in great health - they've
   been going to Fallon Animal Clinic since we got them and I'll get all
   records for you if you prefer another vet/clinic.

   You can reach me at home (508-534-9448) and the cats are currently
   living in Leominster, MA.  I'll probably only be at the office for another
   week or so, so best bet is to call me at home.

   Debbi

    
    
    My brother has found out he is allergic to his 3 year old cat.
    The cat, named Porkchop is female and spayed as well as declawed.
    She has been an indoor cat.  He is trying to find a good home
    where he knows she will be well cared for.  Porkchop is mostly
    white with some grey/brown markings along her back.  She has 
    been mostly with adults, but doesn't mind kids.
    
    If you are interested, please call him after 6:00 pm
    at home (Exeter, NH) at 603-778-7724  ask for John or Maureen
    

    About 1 or 2 months ago a young cat has come to my house in Leominster.
    She is obviously lost because she is very friendly and she is not
    scared to step into my house. I tried to find an owner but without
    any success. Today, I've taken her to the Animal hospital in Fitchburg
    for check up and testing against FELV and FIP today. If she would be OK
    then she's going to be spaying (if she isn't yet). 
    
    Because I couldn't find an owner and I couldn't keep her as well
    because of my 4 cats I'd like to find a good home for her as soon as
    possible (preferrably without using a shelter). If anybody wants to
    adopt her or at least gives her a foster home for 1 month maximum
    please call me at home (508) 840-0452 ar at work DTN 223-3810. 
    
    She is a long-haired approximately 10 months old. Her color is
    completely grey with little white under a chin and on paws. She is cute
    and big for her age. As mentioned above, she is very very friendly and 
    loves to be petted. 
    
    Thanks,

        NAME:      Simba T     
	AGE:       2-3 Years (approximated)
        SEX:       Male	
        WEIGHT:    10-12 pounds (but gaining)
	SH/LH:     Long Hair 
        COLOR:     Buff - Light orange (beautiful coloring)
	DESC:      Simba definitely has many Maine Coon traits..
                   he has the huge beautiful full tail, tufts in
                   ears and between toes and is very playful.
                   He has a gorgeous face with the cutest expression
                   that melts your heart.  
        HISTORY:   Simba is a victim of a nasty divorce which left
                   him out in the cold with nobody to take care of
                   him.   He has had a VERY rough winter as he was
                   trying to defend for himself.  He was eating out
                   of trash cans. getting chased away by nasty
                   people and living in picky bushes to try and stay 
                   warm.   That is of course...until he met my
                   sister who was kind enough to open up her heart
                   and rescue him.   
        MEDICAL:   Simba has been neutered, tested for 
                   Felv/FIV (negative), treated for ear mites, has
                   had his booster and Rabie shot. Because his fur
                   was completely matted and full of picky bushes...
                   his entire body had to be shaved.  He looks so
                   cute right now because he has long fur on his
                   head, tail and paws...but the rest of him is pretty
                   naked!!!   His fur will come back beautifully...and
                   we do have before/after pictures to show you how
                   beautiful he will become.
        OTHER FACTS: Simba did live with a family with kids and a dog
                   so he would do well living in that condition.  He
                   was an ONLY cat and can be pretty aggressive with
                   other kitties, so he might be better off in a single
                   cat home or with another kitty who will stand up to
                   him.  

                   Simba LOVES people, loves to purr..loves all the
                   attention you can give him.   He will sit on your
                   lap forever and crawl right up beside you at night.
                   He loves to play and will keep you amused for hours.

        WHERE:     Simba is currently being fostered by my sister
                   in Fitchburg.   The Pat Brody shelter was kind enough
                   to assist with Simba's medical bills (which were close
                   to $100), so we are asking a $50 donation to the 
                   shelter if you would like to adopt him.

   If you would like more information on Simba or would like to set up
   a time to see him, please just send me mail at USCTR1::MERRITT_S
   or feel free to call either me (508-342-2985) or my sister 
   (508-343-8282) at home.
                           

We have a client who cannot afford a dentistry to done on their cat. She also
needs to to have a tooth extracted and to be brought up-to-date on her shots.
Tiffany's 7 years old (maybe 8 - I forget).  She's a domestic longhair, neutered
and declawed. She tested negative for Felv/FIV a couple years ago but wasn't
vaccinated so she should be retested. I assume since she's declawed she's been
an indoor cat, but I'm not positive about that. The owners requested that we try
and find a home for Tiffany and if not that we put her to sleep. Other than a
tooth that needs to come out she appears to be basically a pretty healthy cat.
The bill for all the work she needs is probably about $150, but we may be able
to lower that a bunch (Vets & techs have a habit of doing things like
volunteering to do surgeries and dentistries when our heartstrings are tugged -
which is usually all the time...). If you think you might be interested, send
mail or give me a ring at DTN 381-2400.

							Trace

A person who wants to remain anonymous has offered to pay all Tiffany's
expenses. Thank you VERY MUCH Mr/Miss/Ms Person!!!! That's bought her some time
at the vets, but she still needs a home. If we can find a home for her, I'll
donate $50 to the SLM in celebration. I learned a little more about her
yesterday - her owners told us that she's a really calm, wonderful cat. Their
son has developed asthma and they're unable to take her back (we would have
offered her back to them for free after surgery if they would have been able to
accept her). Tiffany's currently in Nashua, NH, and if you're within a 2-3 hour
drive of here I'd be happy to bring her to you if you'll adopt her. She's not
eating (because of tooth pain) and I had her out for some fluids last night. She
was very mellow; just sat on the table while she got the fluids. If I didn't
feel full to the gills with cats & dogs I'd feel comfortable adopting her.

    		FELV + kitty needs a good home.  
    
Name: Pepe
Age: approx. 9-10 months
Sex: male, castrated
Weight: about 8 lbs.
Shorthair
    
Color: Black with white on throat, toes and a tiny bit on his nose
Description: Pepe has extra toes with 7 toes on each front foot and 6 on 
each back, which cause him to walk like Charlie Chaplin.  He's got a very 
cute face too!
    
Endearing Traits:  Pepe has got personality to match his feet - lots of 
it!  Love is all he wants, he loves to be held and will kiss your face - 
he's especially fond of noses.  He'll curl up on your lap or on the back 
of your chair and purr purr purr.  He also loves to play, he's at that 
age. Pepe is also a talker with a sweet meow! He has been around dogs but 
is still adjusting to the canine species.
    
Special needs: Pepe unfortunatly has feline leukemia and is contagious to 
other cats - even if they have been vaccinated since the vaccine is only 
80-85% effective.  He is realatively healthy now - he had an upper 
respiratory infection when I got him in November. But his lymph nodes are 
enlarged - no signs of lymphoma though when the vet tested him.  In the 
future he will most likey become sick.  He also has gingivitis which is 
associated with the FeLV, so I brush his teeth. He is up to date on his 
vaccinations, including rabies.

    I want him to go to a good home, someone who will love him and tend to 
    any health problems he may face.  
    
    I would also be willing to take him back, no matter how far away I
    might live at that time, if the situation arose.

    -- re: 4.877
    
    Zecky is still available -- and still beautiful, sweet-tempered
    and very loving.

    Beautiful little Copper eyes white persian FREE to a good home.
    
    I learned about this little girl at the last cat show.  She's been
    spayed and I think she's declawed.  She has cystitis, and is currently
    being treated.  the owner decided to have her put to sleep because she
    didn't want to treat the cystitis!!!!  Well, the vet couldn't, so she
    decided to treat it and find a good home for her.
    
    She was BADLY matted, and as a friend was combing her out, she purred,
    even through the toughest matts!!  She sounds like a beautiful little
    girl.  She has all of her shots up to date and all tests negative.

    Would you place them together or consider separating them ?

Well being the compassionate animal lover that i am, a few months ago I 
adopted a stray cat that a fellow DECcie brought into work. Imagine my 
surprise when i relized a several weeks later that she was pregnant--and 
this was after the vet said she wasn't when she was brought in for shots. 
(I've never let her outside, btw).  Soon April 3rd arrived when a litter 
of 5 adorable medium/long-haired kittens were born. Now it is time for me 
to find happy homes for them.

There are two greys, one with a white patch on the chest, and three calico 
(two dark with red and white marks on face, and one lighter colored with lots 
of pretty markings.)  I think they are all females... but I've never been very 
good at making those distinctions.  Please let me know if you or anyone you 
know would like a new furry friend, for free of course.  It will be hard to 
part with them but i already have two cats, a dog and 3 birds...

They can be seen in Northbridge (Whitinsville), MA. I'd really like to find 
them homes within the next week.

Best Regards,

    My cat Polly just had three beautiful babies on May 22. They'll be
    ready to go mid-July. One black & white tuxedo, one gray tiger, one
    dark tiger with double paws. Can't tell the sex yet, they're too tiny!
    Short hair, domestic. Both the mom & dad have very sweet personalities.
    Nice markings, healthy. Mom tested FeLV/FIV negative, all shots
    current. Free to loving, caring homes. Send me mail at WRKSYS::MATTSON

    We have two cats about 10 months old that need to find a new home.
    We just found out our daughter who is (3) has allergies, in which
    the cats are contributing to. 
    
    The cats are "great" with kids, have never scratched, hissed or done
    anything harmful. They are both very playful, litter trained, neutered
    have all there shots, are kitty luekemia free, worm free, flee free 
    and all that stuff.
    
    One is a grey tiger who is on the small side.  She loves to be held
    and pampered.
    
    The other is a big white and black male, who just loves to sit and do
    nothing.  
    
    Both these cats are great pets and we hate to see them go.  If we can't
    find a good home, we will have to take other measures in a short period
    of time.
    
    Included with cats:
    -two carrying cages
    -enclosed litter box
    -two scratching posts
    -several toys
    -5 day feeding dish
    -constant water feeder
    
    

                        *** FREE KITTENS***
    
    Yesterday my brother found 2 abondoned baby kittens in the woods by 
    his house. They can't be any older than 2-3 weeks old he is looking 
    to find good homes for these two cuties.
    
    He's been feeding them baby formula threw an eye dropper. Should he
    be feeding them anything else?
    
    My brother would love to keep them but he has two full grown dogs and
    a cat already. I would love to keep them but I have a dog and a full
    grown cat that already do not get along.
    
    If you know of anyone who is looking for a kitten and would provide
    a good home for these two please give me a call at dtn 237-7269.
    
    One kitten is black with big blue eyes and the other is gray with black
    tiger strips going through him/her and he/she also has blue eyes.
    
    Thats the other thing its to early to tell what sex they are.
    We think they are both girls.

    Gee I hope the mother cat was not in the process of bringing them
    home ?  Once our cat took her usual morning stroll into the woods and
    delivered BEFORE making it home.  I happened to notice her bringing
    one (the third) by the neck back to her bed in the breezeway. She 
    started out again, so I followed and she led me to them.  I carried
    the last two home for her which she promptly washed because I
    had touched them.  
    
    I would also suggest asking your Vet what to feed these babies. 
    
    Good luck.
    
    
    babies.  
    

    
    If they are 2-3 weeks old...I'm assuming the Momma kitty is
    still around because they would not survive without her.
    
    I would recommend that your brother contact his vet or a local
    shelter and ask them some suggestions on how to best take
    care of these little babies and also ask if they know of a 
    Momma cat who might be able to foster these two little guys.
    Many times shelters have Momma kitties who would be more
    then willing to add these two babies to her litter.
    
    I do know that KMR is the best milk substitute for kittens..
    and they should be fed every 3-4 hours....and kept very
    warm.

    Hi Sandy,
    
    My brother was telling me that there is a cat that is gray w/ black
    tiger strips he thinks its the mother because she looks like one of
    the kittens. He said she's a stray cat and the father is a black cat
    with white under his chin he looks like the other kitten. 
    
    He was telling me that he thinks they got together last year because 
    they had two kittens who looked like these kittens. He tryed to get
    those kittens the previous year but they ran off.
    
    We need to capture the mother and have her get fixed. I did hear about
    that KMR formula for kittens. Both kittens are doing fine they are
    relieving themselves in the litterbox and are eating wet cat food and
    tender viddles.
    
    A friend, Diane who works in this building but me intouch with an animal 
    shelter in Lancaster who might take these kittens in two weeks. They 
    are going get them tested for any feline diseases and will have them
    fixed later on. Then they will put them up for adoption and will find
    them both good homes.
    
    I'll keep everyone posted.
    
    Steph
    

    Steph...
    
    My guess is since they are eating well and already using
    the litterbox...they are probably a bit older then 2-3 weeks.
    Without seeing them..it's hard to guess the age, but they
    probably could still use the KMR because it is good for them.
    
    I'm glad to see you found a shelter that will take them....it
    would be so nice if you could atleast capture the Mom and either
    find her a home or atleast get her spayed and put her back
    outside so she won't bring you more of her children.
    
    Good luck...

    Hi Everyone,
    
    I just wanted to pop everyone a quick note letting them know that
    the kittens went to a good family in Leominster last night.
    
    Someone saw a flyer that my sister in-law put up at the supermarket
    in Leominster regarding the kittens. A woman called and came up to
    see the kittens and fell in love with them.
    
    They had a cat for many years that just recently past away she was
    looking for another cat when she came across the flyer.
    
    My brother had told her that he didn't want to separate them til
    2 or 3 more weeks he wanted to wait til they were bigger, then she
    said but I want them both. The kittens went to a good family and a
    loving home.
    
    I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses and I especially
    wanted to thank Diane for all her help she gave me with the animal
    shelter it was nice to know that there was a place they could go to
    that would find them a good home.

    "Lilly" is a five year old female spayed Angora cat who
    needs a good home - one where there will someone home
    with her all the time.  She would make a perfect companion
    for an elder person who doesn't mind lots of affection! 
    She is white/buff with blue eyes, declawed, and is an indoor 
    cat who is litter trained.   FREE to a good home only..
    
    Please call Pam directly if interested....

    
    	Please contact Rob Rothberg  "rothberg@nema.com"  .
    	These are his parents cats.  The extremely difficult thing
    	about this posting is that if at all possible, all three
    	need to be placed together.....  His parents are moving to
    	Florida, to a condo left to them by a relative.  The condo
    	association strictly forbids pets  (even fish!!).  They 
    	currently reside in Derry, NH...
    
    	All three are male, declawed, and neutered.
    
    	Two are brothers:  one is solid grey, big boy 18 lbs, the other
    	is black and white, another big boy  16 lbs.  Around 7 years old.
    
    	The other cat is round 13/14 years old.  Sounds like a grey tiger
    	or tabby, from Rob's description.  12 lbs.
    
    	They're all pretty mellow, play now and then but like to sleep a
    	lot and will come find you at night (once they're used to you).
    
    	His mom may have to resort to putting them down but Rob is
    	trying everything he can to find them a home first (he'd take
    	them but his landlord doesn't allow pets).

    I have 3 kittens who will soon be needing homes. They were born on
    May 22, so they'll be ready to go about Mid- to late- July.
    It's pretty hard to tell the sex at this age, but I think there are
    two males and a female. All have double paws. Two are gray/black
    tigers; one has a little white face and boots, the other has a lot of
    black and looks like a Maine Coon cat (we think the dad is part coon
    cat). The third is mostly black, with white boots and mustache. They
    are all wicked cute. The mother and dad have tested FeLV/FIV negative 
    and are up to date on all shots.
    
    These little sweethearts are located in Maynard, MA.

    We got the cat from a shelter about 6 weeks ago.  We have two
    dogs, and two birds, and are finding that this cat really likes
    birds.  So, we're reducing our risk and putting it up for adoption!
    
    From the time we got it, it's been an indoor cat, but it's also
    getting increasingly interested in the doors of our house,
    probably jealous of our dogs, who go outside with us.

    I can to get this baby to her new home.  
    
    
    Following is his message:
    
Per our hallway conversation could you help find a good home for this kitten.
She was almost dead when my wife found her. She is about 4 weeks old according
to the vet. We are nursing her back to health, but we have 3 cats already and
I am allergic to cats! She is brown, white, orrange and black. The vet says
she should recover fully. She is very respons human intervention. If you
find someone interested please let me or my wife(Kathi)know.

Hi,

Our 18 month old son was recently diagnosed with a cat allergy, forcing us to 
find a home for a beloved cat, Betty.  We are heartbroken.  Betty is 
a beautiful black long-hair cat, about 8 years old, and really affectionate.
She is spayed, healthy and has always been up to date on her shots.  We hate
to see her go but have no choice.  If you are interested, or know someone
who is, please call Sue at DTN 381-0561 or send mail to STAR::SGEORGE.
    
    Betty is located in Harvard, MA

Thanks,
Sue
    

    
    Hi,
    
    There is a beautiful Maine Coon cat at the HLO (Hudson, MA) plant. 
    He's been around a few days (that I have noticed) he is just so
    friendly and beautiful!
    
    He is sitting by the door wating for *someone* so paticently, their
    are some cat food cans in the rubbish - so someone WAS feeding him.
    
    Does anyone know about this cat?  Can anyone adopt this cat?  I have
    4 and i can't take another one.
    
    Lou

    He is a beauty for sure!  Right now he is waiting outside the glass
    doors of the HLO2 lobby.  I talked to the security officer about him
    and he mentioned someone in the plant will be taking him home tonight.
    But, if someone else wants him, first come, first served!
    
    Nancy

    Suppose he wanders off before tonight?  Shouldn't someone bring him
    inside until then?
    

    
    <---I don't think that is an option since we are at work.
    

    
    I went out to check on him and he was gone as of 3:30.  I hope someone
    brings him home!  He is a beauty!
    
    Lou

    
    Just to let those worried about the Coon cat seen at the HLO2 plant, 
    an employee brought him home yesterday. 
    
    I do feel bad for the one who lost him.  He or she must be heartbroken.
    
    Nancy

    I wonder how many people saw me out there playing with it every chance
    I got. What a great personality. He was so affectionate, I couldn't
    believe it. Glad someone took him. Even though I've already got 4,
    "I" was thinking about it.
    
    Steve

    
    The gauard told me he is one of the meny cats living in the box trucks
    form the tractor trailer that are here doing construction.
    
    I was going to make him a barn cat, if no one took him home yesterday
    
    l

    Has someone checked the lost animal ads in the newspaper and called the
    local shelter, just in case?
    

I need to find a home for my female cat Sadie. I adopted her after she was 
dropped off at work in MR01. I've had her for 3 months on a trial basis since
i also have 3 birds and a dog and another cat i wasn't sure how she would 
adapt. Unfortunately, i have to let her go since i the predator instinct 
is strong and i fear for my birds. She is fine with my dog.

She has been a friendly and loving (Maine coon, i think) cat with a beautiful,
bushy tail and colorful markings. It will be hard to let her go so i'm hoping 
to find a good home for her. I called the two nokill shelters I know of but 
they are full until the end of the summer and the animal rescue league is 
putting them down as fast as they come in - a fate i don't want give Sadie.   

She hasn't been out of the house since i've had her. I would guess she is 1-2 
years old. Please help me find a home for her this week. 

She is free and i will include a large carrier.

Best Regards,

    8-year old, female Ragdoll available to a good home. The cat is long-
    haired gray with blue eyes. The cat has been spayed, is very gentle and
    extremely affectionate. She sheds very little and is supposedly non-
    allergenic; both my son and I (who are allergic to other cats) have
    had no reactions. She is located in Pepperell, MA and stays indoors.
    
    The problem? I have three young sons and a big dog who came before she
    did. We adopted her from a breeder who gave her up for free because she
    would not breed. She came from a "cat" environment with no kids. She
    is "missing" her litter box. Local experts tell us she is too nerved up
    from the activity level in the house. She would do much better in a 
    quiet household.

    food and vet bills for a fifth cat.

    Although I'm owned by multiple cats (7 to be exact), I was asked to
    enter a note for a bunny that was found along the road last week.  This
    bunny is white, I don't know the eye color, but a young male.  He is
    presently residing at Central Animal Hospital in Leominster.  One of
    Central's employees found him.  He's very social and would make a
    wonderful companion for someone.  If you are interested or know of

				(603) 878-4289 (home)
Gender:	Male, neutered

Age:	1.5 years (approx)

Type:	Tiger markings, medium length hair, long bushy tail, resembles Maine
	Coon cat in some respects, grey/black/green

Breed:	Generic (not Siamese, or exotic breed)

Size:	Medium, about 4 pounds.

Life history:	This is a stray cat that hung around the house for a couple
	of weeks that we finally concluded was a stray.  We had it tested for
	FIL and FIV and it was negative for FIL and positive for FIV.  We had
	it neutered at the same time.  It is currently living in the house
	segregated from the other cats.  We would keep it but for the risk
	of infection to the other cats.

Traits:	It is a very friendly cat.  It likes to sit on your lap, on your
	shoulders.  It is inclined to be mostly an indoor cat since it seems
	to like human companionship better than not.  It seems well behaved
	around furniture and carpets.  It would seem to get along well with
	other cats based on its attitude to other cats it sees in passing.

Summary:  It would make a wonderful house cat, or a fine addition to an
	existing collection of FIV positive cats.  We would much rather
	keep it ourselves but it is too difficult with 9 others who
	are not FIV positive.

Missy and Patches are littermates.  They can go to separate homes or together.
They have been indoor-only, and they recently got boosters on all of their
shots.  Their birthday is February 12.

Their owner is in Texas, but they are staying at the home of a Digital employee
in Massachusetts.  Please contact Debbi Jancaitis at 

                  US2RMC::"DJancaitis@aol.com"

or you can contact me and I will help you.  If they don't find homes soon,
they will go to a no-kill shelter.

    I have two nice older cats that I need to find a home for.
    My ex-husband called the other evening to let me know that
    due to foreclosure he has to move, and he is having a difficult
    time finding an apartment that will allow him to keep his
    two cats.  Since I am at cat/animal max currently and these
    were cats we had when we were married, I kind of feel responsible
    for helping him place them in a new home.
    
    The cats:
    
    Niniane:  7 year old blue-point apple-headed siamese neutered female.  
    Nin is a beautiful cat.  She is playful, does not claw furniture,
    is up to date on all her shots, and healthy.  
    
    Boogie:  9 year old silver tabby neutered female. She was a 
    CFF master grand champion.  She has that beautiful "Marbelized
    tabby" look.  Boogie loves to play and loves attention.  She
    also does not claw furniture, and is up to date on her shots
    and healthy.  
    
    Ian felt they would do best in a house where there was someone
    to pay a lot of attention to them.  He has had a killer commute
    for the last few years, and felt the cats were getting bored.
    Both of these cats have been indoor-only all their lives. They
    have been together for about six years, and he would like to 
    place them together if at all possible.
    
    Niniane and Boogie are used to other cats, and have spent time
    with ferrets, but have not been around dogs.  

    My daughter just called to let me know that there is a tiny grey tiger
    kitten in desparate need of a home.  He was just *attacked* by the dogs
    across the street from her but he is OK.  He is so hungry that the dogs
    didn't deter him from going to the door begging for food/shelter once
    they were brought inside.  She just acquired a little kitten already
    and also has a large dog and two small children to take care of. 
    She will put food out for him but she can't bring him in.  A little boy
    had gone around the neighborhood yesterday trying to find his owner but
    I guess he didn't.  I just acquired my own *LEFT BEHIND* and am
    currently at 8 so I can't take him.
    
    Stats on the kitten (as much as I know):
    
    	Approximately 4 months old
    	Grey tiger 
    	Not sure of sex.
    	She didn't say he was fluffy.
    	Currently in Allenstown NH.

    A beautiful friendly and loving leukemia positive fixed male needs a
    home as an only in-door cat or with other leukemia positive. (He's a
    carrier, displays no signs of the disease).
    
    His name is Butch and he's currently living in a cage at my vets
    office. He's about two years old. Is black and white in a classic
    Tuxedo suit. He would love to find a home to call his own.

    Two kittys need a home ASAP.
    
    	Kelsey - a 3-year old white Angora female.  Absolutely gorgeous.  I
    	have seen a picture of her.  She is declawed and in-door only.  She
    	resides in Mass but her owner works in NH.  Takes time to warm to 
    	people but then is a wonderful lap cat.
    
    	Riley - a 1 1/2 year old black Angora male.  He is also declawed
    	and indoor only.  He also resides in Mass but his owner (same one)
    	works in NH.  Is extremely friendly to anyone who comes near him.
    
    Mom and Dad are having their first child and Mom is terrified of the
    cats hurting the baby (I know, their all fallacies), but, Mom doesn't 
    believe it.  
    
    These two cats need a home preferably together, but not necessary.  
    I have a deadline of September 1st to find them a home.  I am getting
    pictures of both of them and can fax copies to potential new owners if
    necessary.
    
    You can call either me - Sandi Offen at dtn 264-4949 x 359 or Steve 
    Rando - the owner at dtn 264-5189 for further information or viewing
    times.
    
    Regrettably, I can't take them because I just went up to eight with the
    newest addition - another left behind....

We adopted a stray sometime ago that has given us three beautiful kittens to
show her appreciation. We have one that has not been adopted yet. She's a short
hair orange tabby with white paws and with a very sweet disposition from what we
can tell. The kids have named her Angel as she is so good. She's 8 weeks old and
available in Rochdale, MA. My wife has offered to drive her within a reasonable
distance of our town to anyone willing to give the kitten a good home.

This kitten has never been out of the house so there's still a chance that it
could be trained to be an indoor cat.

We would love to keep her but her mommy makes three and that is about all we
can handle right now.

If interested, please contact my wife Julie at home at (508)892-1961 or me on
TOLKIN::GUERRA.

Thanks,
Sal

    STORY:	I have had an average of a dozen cats over the last ten years,
    (current count is 11).  Many of them were sick, injured, hungry, cold,
    abandoned - you know how they seem to be able to find a soft touch.
    The mother (The Gray Lady) arrived one day in June and seemed to come
    and go for two weeks.  She was checking the place out for her children.
    After deciding it was a safe place, she started bringing her already
    6-8 week old kittens from the woods to my garage, one at a time.  AM
    came first (on a Sunday morning).  She followed her mother all the way
    to my garage and immediately snuggled under the shelves behind a
    curtain. She is the female and the smallest.  We could hear another
    kitten crying in the bushes but he would not let his mother coax him
    out.  Late that afternoon we finally captured him - (and of course
    named him PM).  He was wild and terrified, but quickly calmed down when
    he saw the comfortable surroundings his sister had waiting for him.  He
    is still the most skittish of the three.  Two days later a very small,
    very sick, all gray kitten was wandering aimlessly in the driveway,
    unable to see due to eye infections.  Tuesday also had pneumonia.  We
    immediately took him to our vet who saved the little guy.  The local
    shelter then took over and put him in a foster home.  The next day the
    most adventurous and now the most social kitten arrived - and I imagine
    you have already guessed his name - Wednesday!  He is the only one who
    is eager to come in to the house and explore.  You can hold all of them
    - if you can catch them!  They don't bite or scratch.  But they don't
    cuddle or purr . . . yet.  Wednesday is the most tolerant.  AM is still
    a little squirmy.  Mother and kittens have been treated for mites and
    worms.  As soon as the kittens were eating regular food, we had The
    Gray Lady fixed. I love them but can not envision 15 cats inside this
    winter!  And I'm sure you understand the vet costs associated with four
    more who need regular vaccinations, fixing, and miscellaneous
    treatments.  I think they would adjust if someone were willing to be
    patient with them.  I had a few people interested in them for their 
    children, but I don't believe these kittens are appropriate for a young 
    child who would certainly expect a pet they could play with and hold.  
    All the shelters are full - and I don't know if I could coop them up in 
    cages after they have been used to such total freedom all of their lives.  
    If you are interested in a challenge and one or two beautiful kids,
    please call.

    Jim -
    
    Would the shelter take her back if you can't place her?
    
    She sounds wonderful and if I didn't already have a 4 year old furface
    ruling the house, I'd take her.  I've been thinking of getting a
    companion for my guy, but I want to get a kitten so the threat wouldn't
    be as dramatic. Maybe that's the problem that you've run into with
    introducing another mature cat to the house.

Gita,
	I haven't contacted the shelter yet. They have the reputation of taking
back their adoptees, but I wasn't the one who adopted her out in the first
place, the previous owner did that. I'm going to call them next week to find out
what they'd do. Of course I'd like to find a home for Missy. Oh, I forgot to
mention in my original note, Missy is strictly an indoors cat, she has never
been outdoors, save for poking her head through the slider to the deck when it
is opened; that has been the extent of her inquisitiveness. She's a real
homebody.

Thanks,

Jim

     For adoption in Worcester...
    
     Neutered male tiger cat. A few years old. Complete vet info
     available. Cat was living with an elderly woman who recently
     died. Suviving relatives do not want the cat and are planning
     to take it to a shelter.
    
     Looking for a loving home (permanent or temporary). Please
     respond soon or I'm afraid that this cat will meet an early
     demise...
    
     Contact Janice at (508)853-2211. 

    
    Presley is in need of a loving home.  If you've read my rescue notes
    you already know that his time as an outdoor stray cat is severely
    limited.  The complex has decided it's time for him to be gone and
    doing time in a humane society cage is starting to look like a
    possibility.
    
    So, here's his kitty resume...
    
    Presley  (aka E. Presley, Presley-dude, Presser-dude and Presser-kitty)
                                                                 
    Male (neuter pending)
    Brown tabby with white, short hair
    Copper eyes
    Approx. 6 months old (not confirmed with the vet yet)
    
    Potentially lovable companion cat.  He's a little on the wild side
    now but is coming around quickly.  I can hold him like a baby and
    pet him for quite a while before he shows any signs of wanting down.
    
    He loves to be petted while he's eating and that's when he really shows
    off his purr motor.  He's a very playful guy...everything is a toy to
    him.
    
    I haven't gotten him to the vet yet but that is in the short term
    plans.  He needs to pass his FELV and FIV tests.  He also needs his
    normal vaccines as well as his rabies vaccine.  And, he needs to be
    neutered.  If his potential new owners live in San Jose, I can provide 
    a FREE spay/neuter certificate.
    
    I would prefer an indoor only home for him but would consider an 
    indoor/outdoor home under the circumstances.  He would need to be kept
    inside for a few weeks at an in/out home while he got used to the
    surroundings so potential owners would need to be aware of that.

Home desperately needed for this kitty:

Pedro is a neutered 7 year old male cat.  He has black short hair with a 
white blaze on his chest. He is a large cat, about 16 pounds.  Pedro is the
most affectionate cat I've ever lived with, he likes to be on my lap and 
loves attention.  When I pick him up he wraps his front legs around my neck 
to give me a kitty hug. Pedro is shy until he becomes accustomed to his
environment.  I adopted him a year ago and within a couple of weeks he
was all over the house exploring.  He still gets frightened of sudden noises, 
like the dryer bell which launches him into orbit.  He's an indoor cat but is 
a great mouser; he captured three leftover mice from a previous cat.  Pedro
was born with feline leukemia, he must remain an indoor cat, an only cat, or 
a partner for another cat with feline leukemia.  His previous owner, and
the person who bottlefed him after he was abandoned by his mother, says that
Pedro had all his shots until he was one and was diagnosed with feline
leukemia.  He has been an indoor cat ever since and received no additional
shots. 

Unfortunately lifestyle changes are forcing me to find him a new home.
If you want a companion, Pedro is your guy!  I will include his bed 
(electric, he likes to be warm), 5' cat tower, food, litterbox with cover, 
his carrying case, and miscellaneous toys. 

Pedro lives in Boxborough, Massachusetts.

    Presley has been placed in a new home.  I can only pray to the 
    goddess of felinity that I've made the right choice.  This home
    came up out of the blue after his vet visit on Saturday and they
    wanted to take him immediately.
    
    Boy was this difficult.  I've gotten so attached.  I feel like
    crying.  The new owners have been told that if this doesn't work
    out for any reason at all that I will take him back.
    
    I'll crosspost this to 793 (the rescue topic).  If there are any
    followups to this message please post them there so we don't 
    clutter up the adoption topic.

Hi,

   I am a first-time "foster mom" of a stray cat and 3 kittens on behalf of
the Manchester Animal Control shelter (via Joanne from the Furniture Warehouse,
for those of you who know the area).  The kittens will be 8 weeks old
tomorrow and will all need homes.   (Fortunately, I believe I've found a home
for the mother.)  I can give the kittens back to the shelter for placement, 
but would prefer to see them go directly to good homes, having grown attached 
to them over the last 5 weeks.  The details:

Mother: A stray, but not feral.  Calico coat.  Very mellow personality.  
        Has been taken to the Vet and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia,
        Feline HIV, distemper and worms.

Kitten 1: A female short-hair calico like mom.  Has been eating wet can food 
          for over a week, and can probably be separated from mom, as she
          rarely nurses any more.  Beautiful markings, sweet personality;
	  the most mellow of the 3 kittens.

Kitten 2: A female short-hair that's a mix of brown and black, with a bit
          of beige on the face for highlights.  Very pretty, very playful.
          Still nursing from mom.

Kitten 3: A male short-hair with black and white spots, including a black 
          "goatee" under his chin.  Very playful, very affectionate (always 
          wants to be picked up and held).  Still nursing from mom.

All kittens appear to be in excellent health.  Though no formal tests were done,
they were checked out by the Vet when mom was given her tests.  All have
been litterbox trained for weeks.

Since I am acting on behalf of the shelter, these additional rules need to
be followed:

   - a short adoption form from the shelter must be filled out
   - there is a $10 adoption fee (goes to shelter)
   - must agree to have cat neutered (this is what short adoption form states);
       may be able to get a break in cost on this by going through shelter
   - declawing strongly discouraged by shelter
   - must agree to get proper vaccinations (distemper, rabies, etc.)


I work at ZKO and have pictures of the kittens, if you're interested in
previewing them.  I live in Nashua, NH.  E-mail: KOALA::PAWELKO  
Work phone:(603) 881-0396  DTN:381-0396  Home phone:(603) 598-1618.

    I came back from lunch and found a poster on my desk with a post-it
    note attached.  The note said "Can you help me find a home for this
    cutie?".  Well, I'm still searching for a home for Dolly but I thought
    I'd at least post the particulars here in hopes someone knows of an
    available home.  This information is straight off the poster.

RETIRED SHOW CAT
Looking for person to own to cuddle and purr at!

Cream MacTabby  persian neuter (GRP Beaudee's Peter Peachfuzz)
needs a home where he can run and play, and have a good time!
Currently he's living in a house of korats and has decided
he's a korat too! So, he has a shorthair mentality (he runs
100 mph, leaps, jumps, and cuddles like there's no tomorrow!)
He's being retired cause the more he gets in a showhall, the
more he tips his tongue (meaning, he sticks his tongue out which
is a definite 'no no' in the show ring! He's really giving the
judge HIS opinion of THEIR opinions!) He's close to having
a regional win, but to me it's more important that he gets
a loving home with lots of attention!

He's about 1-1/2 yrs old, and is located in Maryland (a town
about 25 miles north of Washington DC). If you are interested
or would like more information, please send vaxmail at
NEWVAX::CCOLEMAN.

    Four year old - Neutered Male MANX - Strictly INDOOR
    
    Color:  Light Grey, with a little white.  Shorthair.
    
    Spikey is very shy of people.  He will hide when guests come over,
    however; after things are quieter he will come out to investigate
    the stranger.  If he is ignored he will be fine.  He likes to sit next
    to you vs. in your lap.  He will steal pens and pencils and stash
    them in a secret hiding place.
    
    His health is excellent and all shots updated Feb 1, 97.  He weighs 
    15lbs.  Good litter box habits and he uses his cat tree for exercise.
    (The cat tree is a stand alone floor to ceiling carpeted post type unit
    and fits in the corner of a room.  This could go with him if wanted.)
    
    I am moving and expect to be on the road quite a bit.  If interested

    I'm posting this for Diane Sousa (obsess::sousa):
    
    There's a vet tech named Terry at the Ashland Animal Hospital
    who is trying to find a home or at least a temp boarding arrangement
    for a cat named Screamer.  The family who owned Screamer and her
    brother Tux has had to give them up because of allergies.  Tux is
    being kept at the hospital awaiting adoption but apparently Screamer's
    case is more complicated - she has a couple of tiny wounds and
    I gather that Mass law requires that she be kept what - separate or
    something, at least indoors - for six months since she hasn't had a
    rabies shot, so Terry is trying to figure out what to do for her.  I
    don't understand the requirements here, does anyone know what this law
    requires?  Anyway Terry's number at home is (508) 528-4326 in
    Hopkington, Mass.  She will be at the vet hospital tomorrow from 9 am
    to noon Eastern time.  She apparently has an okay to keep Screamer at
    the hospital over the weekend, but then they want to euthanize her.
    I left Terry a msg on her home machine to try and find out more.  The
    Ashland Animal Hospital is at (508)881-2400.  Here
    is Screamer's info:
    
    Sweet Spayed Female 
    12 years old 
    Long haired Tiger 
    Brown and black stripes
    Petite looking
    Leukemia and Aids Negative
    Has her claws
    She must be kept indoors for 6 months just in case of rabies
    contagion.
    
    

    Karen..
    
    I just went through this with Briggs.  The Mass law states that
    if a cat has a bite wound of unknown origin and has not had
    a Rabie shot,  it must be kept confined for 5-6 months and the 
    cat cannot have a Rabie shot until the 5th month.
    
    Of course..it all depends on how the vet interupts the confinement
    law.   Some say you can confine them at home...others say you
    must confine them at the vets...while others are comfortable
    just telling you the law because they have to... but do not follow
    up on you!!

    when I adopted Peter and Paul, both had wounds (from each other), and
    that AOC in town just told the vet to ask me to keep them seperated
    from the rest of the FIRM for 10 days. They were vaccinnated at the
    time that I got them fixed. Basicly, my vet says that common sence
    showed that the wounds were from other cats (i.e., each other as they
    were fighting over a female) and had not tangled with raccoons.

    	Hi,
    
    	My in-laws have a 13 year old neutered cat that needs
    	a good home.  My in-laws are moving because of job
    	relocation and are unable to take the cat with them.
                  
    	We do not want to see the cat go to a shelter.
    
    	If you know anyone interested pleasea contact me
    	at (508) 493-7223 or DTN: 223-7223.
    
    	Thanks,
    

    I hate to say it...but many shelters will not take a 13 year
    old kitty because they have a hard time adjusting to shelter
    life after living so many years in a home environment.
    
    Hopefully you can find him a good home...

    RE -.1
    
    Thanks for posting that Sandy, I was imagining how traumatic it would
    be for this guy, having lived in a home for 13 years and then be thrust
    into a shelter environment.  hopefully he can be found a new home or
    that the people responsible reconsider and take him along.  He's been
    faithfull for thirteen years...

    I had adopted Zoe when she was 13 (Her previous humand brought her to
    the vet to be put down because they just had a baby. The vet asked if 
    they could adopt her out instead and I was lucy enough to get her). She
    adjusted quite well to my houseful of male cats.
    
    I her for 3 wonderful years. She passed away last fall, but this note
    brought back thots to me of how much I still miss her.

				Good home needed for cat !

My wife works at a Vet and someone brought in a cat to be put
down but the Vet wouldn't because the cat is basicly healthy.
She is a 10+ year old spayed black/grey/red tiger. She's now
living at the office but needs a real home. She's very lovable
and has all shots updated.

They discovered shortly after she arrived that she was diabetic
and requires insuline which she lets you give her with no problem.

If you'd like to adopt her please call Denise at Townsend Vet.
Clinic. (508)597-5828

Name:    Vito

Gender:  Neutered Male

Age:     2-3 years old (estimate)

Coat:    Adorable black/white short-hair with double paws
         in front.   Vito is mostly black with a white tuxedo chest,
         white on the lower part of his chin, white toes in the front
         and white back legs which makes him look like he is wearing
         hi-top sneakers.

Size:    Medium size...approximately 10-12 pounds but will 
         probably gain more weight once he is settled down in his
         new home and no longer searching for food.

Traits:  Vito is the most friendly stray I have ever rescued...there
         is not an aggressive bone in his body....he loves all people
         and also gets along very well with other cats.  Because he is
         so friendly...I have to believe he lived in a good home at one
         time. 

Medical: Neutered, tested FELV/FIV (negative), booster shot, Rabie
	 shot and 1st FelV vaccine, (2nd one due in three weeks)
         is in the process of being dewormed.  

History: Vito spent the winter outside and came to my porch twice a day
         for food.  I first assumed he was a neighborhood kitty who was
         just scrounging for food, but a few weeks ago I noticed him
         getting thin, looking dirty, and limping a little bit.  Since
         the spring has rolled around and we have some very mean Tom's
         around, poor Vito spent his time cowering in the corner of my
         porch.  He broke my heart....so we decided it was time to
         rescue him and find him a home. 

	 Vito does seem to enjoy the outdoors...but my guess is with
         a little patience he could very easily turn into an indoor
         only kitty.   All he wants is LOVE..and a nice sunny window!

Special Thanks:  To a wonderful feliner who knew how overwhelmed
        I am with all my own kitties medical problems and very high
        vet bills...and has paid for all of Vito's medical work.


If you are interested in Vito...please send me mail at USCTR1::MERRITT_S
or call me at home 508-342-2985.   Vito is currently living in my sisters
spare room in Fitchburg.   

    Beautiful, Loving Cat for Good Home!

    We have a wonderful cat, that for a variety of reasons, we need to part
    with.

    Name:  	Ms. Kitty

    Gender:     Female/Spayed

    Age:	Approx. 3 years old.  Obtained as a kitten from an animal
    		shelter.

    Coat:	Lovely soft coat.  I would consider it long hair, though
    		technically it's probably long/short mix.  It's black,
    		brown, and white all mixed together.  White paws. Very
    		pretty.

    Size:	Don't know exactly, but medium size.  Fairly slender.

    Traits:	Very sweet cat that likes to crawl into your lap and
    		snuggle.  She is the quietest cat you can imagine.  Even
    		when she purrs, you can barely hear it.  She never meows,
    		and is fairly timid.

    		She's been an indoor cat while we've had her, but she would
    		certainly be interested in being an outdoor cat.

    		She doesn't get along well with our dog, so she would
    		probably do best in an environment where she's the only
    		animal.  Don't know how she would do with other cats.

    Location:   Southern N.H.

    Bonus:	I would like to contribute $100 toward whoever takes this
    		cat into their home to help cover food and pet costs. 

	
    Contact:	Send me email on DONVAN::PIAZZA (Janet) if you're interested, 
		or DTN 381-1346.
    
    

    
    WANTED:  A home for Ebony.  Miss Ebbs is all black with medium/short
             very soft fur and bright yellow eyes.  We adopted her from
             the Nashua Humane Society when she was eight weeks old, she
             turned five years old March 5th.  She is an indoor cat and 
    	     her front paws were declawed (only after she totally destroyed 
    	     a couch, drapes and wallpaper) when she was a year and a half.  
    	     Ebbie is a great watch cat, SHE hears noises before our two 
    	     Labs do and runs off to investigate.  She has never bothered 
    	     any of my plants and is NOT a cupboard climber like some cats.
       
     	     Ebony has basic needs:  Love and attention, food, litter,
             room to run around, a sunny window with hopefully a view of
             a bird feeder.  She is healthy and I will be taking her for
    	     her annual Vet appointment this month.
    
             Ebony LOVES my husband and he has been traveling a lot and
             she is very sad.  I would like to find a man who has a quiet
             house who can shower Ebony with love and attention.  She sits
             on the recliner with my husband when he is home and gets lots
             of love.  However, we both realize she is not happy and has
             started to put on weight due to lack of exercise and we need
             to find her a home.  My husband is not dealing with this too
             well so I thought I would give it a try.
    
             Our screened in porch is where she spends most of her time in
             the summer watching the bird feeders outside.  We live in a
             country setting and often a mouse will show up in our garage...
             Ebony thinks that is great.  Won't stop to eat her food until 
             the mouse stops moving.  I have never seen her eat a mouse 
             by the time I find it, I assume it died of fright.
    
             We live in Milford, NH and can make arrangements for a meeting
             with Miss Ebony. Please help us find a good home for her.

             forever if you let him.

  Katrina  _ 1 year old, dark tiger color w/ patch of butterscotch
             on forehead, short haired female.

    cat).  she is just over a year old, spayed, short hair indoor-outdoor
    cat.  incredibly needy!!  all she wants is attention and patting.  Very
    gentle and loving.  she's used to being out most of the time but loves
    to be inside.  she gets along well with my ferrets, but doesn't much
    like my dogs (she would love to play with my bird!!)
    
    please call if you can offer Ali a good home

    I received a letter from Priscilla, the owner of the Pat Brody Shelter. 
    Enclosed was a picture of a lovely orange neutered male.  Priscilla is
    asking for our help.
    
    Here's what Priscilla wrote:
    
    "Dear Gita,
    
    I need your help on this one, a cat named "Shugrue", named after the
    family who brought him to our vet.  He was surviving off what the
    neighborhood was feeding him, hanging around the streets until we could
    take him in.
    
    We had Fallon neuter him, Rabies and Distemper shots and FEL/FIV tests.
    He has turned out to be FIV positive.  Now he is in a cage at the
    shelter, isolated.  He was always trying to get in this families house,
    so we think he was abandoned at some point and simply wants another
    house and some loving.  He is ver vocal, a real smooth talker and
    almost frantic for some loving and attention.  We think he is about
    14-18 months old.  Could you scan his picture and put him on the
    Digital Network?  We really need to place him.
    
    I am supposed to be putting FEL/FIV Positive cats down when they reach
    out vet, but his personality proved to be an exception.  He is a SHD,
    Orange Tabby, Big!
    
    Sincerely,
    
    Priscilla Deschamps
    Director
    
    
    I'm going to scan in his picture.  Should be available for viewing in
    about 15 minutes at:
    
    http://gita.shr.dec.com/gita-homepage/helpme.htm
    
    
    
    Can anyone help out?  I can't take him cause I have 3 other cats.  He
    has to go to a home with either other FIV positives or be an only
    kitty.
    
    Gita

Aw, he looks lovely ... 

good luck. 

I would run off excuses about 3 cats and a small 
plane journey and 6 months quarantine... 

but I'll just send lucky wishes over to him.

    I was at the shelter on Friday and Sunday and spent some time with
    Shugrue.  He is a handsome cat.  The moment you walk in the room he
    sticks his paws out through the cage and tries to touch you.  It broke
    my heart.  He has to be one of the most affectionate cats I've met.
    
    I'm praying that someone will be able to give him a home.

    Spook is looking for a kind and gentle home.  Preferably with a woman
    only.  He is about five years old and is an Ebony Oriental sh.  Spook
    is neutered, has had all dental work done and is up to date on shots
    except for rabies.
    
    Spook came to me as a two year old and was terrified of people, men in
    particular.  He has since learned to trust men a bit more.  Will gently
    take food from my husbands fingers.  A shy but very gentle cat.  Spook
    would only need time adjusting to a new home.  No children.  He likes
    to eat Iams dry and has no problem woofing down canned food or other
    treats.  He is feluk/fiv negative and available immediately.  A very
    shiny boy!
    
    If interested, please send exchange mail to: c-fallon@mail.dec.com
    Spook lives in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA.  DTN: 244-6752, email
    preferred.

    I am placing this note for my sister, Pam, as she cannot keep
    any of the kitties permanently.
    
    We are looking for very good homes for the following kitties who 
    were strays and taken in to have their kittens.  They are located
    in Merrimack New Hampshire.
     
    Kitty #1 (Faunzy) is a tri-color short hair.
    Both mother and kittens are available for adoption. 
    The kittens were born April 12 and are ready to be
    placed in loving homes:
    
    	1 white with black, female, short hair
    	1 tiger with white paws, male, short hair
    	1 black & white with double paws, male, short hair
    
    Kitty #2 (Sheba) is a siamese, who had obviously been someone's indoor
    cat as she is declawed.  She was also taken in while pregnant and had
    three kittens on April 25.  The 3 kittens are not yet ready to be
    weaned but they are:
    
    	1 chocolate (black/brown) with double paws, male, short hair
    	1 chocolate (black/brown) with double paws, female, short hair
    	1 chocolate with white streak on face, double white paws, male, s/h
