301.0. "STRAY CAT" by DVINCI::KKELLY () Thu Aug 07 1986 16:34

    
    Hi.  My name is Kathleen Kelly, and I'm hoping that this conference
    will help me solve a problem.  I live in a condominium in Marlboro,
    and for the past two weeks there has been a stray cat has been
    wandering around.  I've been feeding her, and letting her out, etc.
     The problem is that my roomate is allergic to cats, and I can't
    keep her.  She also needs medical attention, and I'm not in the
    financial position to help her.  I've been told it can be very costly.
    Today I called Buddy dog, who referred me to the Marlboro dog officer,
    who referred me to the MSPCA, who reffered me to a place in Sterling,
    who reffered me to a place in Boston.  All of these people gave
    me different excuses, and I don't know what to do.  
    Someone told me of a woman who worked at a shelter in Framingham,
    that was featured in an article in the Middlesex news a few weeks
    ago.  The Middlesex news gave me her number, and I've  called but
    there is no answer.  
    I don't know what to do, because she really needs medical
    attention immediately.  If anyone can help me find a home for her,
    or a place that will take her that won't put her to sleep, please
    contact me.   
    I don't know much about cats, but I'm told that she's a calico.
    I'm estimating her age to be between 7 and 8 months.
    I can be reached at DTN 297-7897, or via VAXMAIL on DVINCI::KKELLY,
    or DECMAIL Kathy Kelly @MRO.  I would really appreciate any help
    you can give me.

    I got a kitten from a shelter in Salem, Mass. a few years ago. 
    Their policy is to never destroy an animal.  I don't know if they'll
    be able to help you, but it's the Northeast Animal Shelter.
    
    Good luck
