668.0. "Calico Cat looking for a good home" by USMRM2::KSHEPHERD () Thu Jul 16 1987 17:05

    Calico cat - looking for a good home.
    
    We have a cat that the neighborhood has been taking care of since
    early spring. The cat is located in Worcester, short hair, calico,
    average size, friendly but a little timid. I do not know a lot about
    the cat such as name, sex (I have a fear of cat's),and age. All
    I know is that it really needs a good home. I do not want to take
    it to a shelter, I would prefer to place the cat in a good home.
    If interested please contact me:

	If you cannot find a home, please consider the no-kill shelter in Barre, it's right next door to Worcester. Donna

	Odd's are about 99% that she's female (a redundant statement if ever I saw one).
668.3	If I only had a bigger apartment	AKA::TAUBENFELD	Almighty SET	`Fri Jul 17 1987 09:20`	11
	Yes, calicos are female. I think it's worth big bucks if you find a male calico. I wish I wish I wish I could take that kitty as I have a soft spot for calicos. Unfortunately I have 2 cats in an already crowded studio apartment in Worcester. Witt animal hospital near Webster Square on Main St helps people find homes for kitties, you might try him. And don't be intimidated by the vet, he's much better with animals than humans.

	male calicos aren't that valuable, even from a breeder perspective. Most male calicos would be sterile (the genetics would require an XXY). About 1 out of every 100 calicos is male. I knew a lady who had an tri-color bobtail that was fertile. She couldn't even find anyone interested in him for stud. Dave
668.5	No such thing!	25217::SCHREINER	Go ahead, make me PURRR...	`Fri Jul 17 1987 10:47`	7
	In many associations male calicos can't be shown in their breed because there is no color class for the male calico. A persian male calico would have to be shown as an AOV (All Other Variety).
668.6	Kitty wants a loving owner	USMRM2::KSHEPHERD		`Fri Jul 17 1987 11:47`	12
	Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I really am not interested in making a profit off of this poor animal. I just want to try to place it myself so that I can check on it once in a while. He is a really nice cat for someone who likes cats. I myself have a dog. I don't know if I could stand dropping this cat off at a shelter and not knowing what happens to it. I am not a cat person, but this cat is kind of like a fixture in our yard now. Everyone likes it but no-one is willing to adopt it. I just want to give him to someone that will care about it. It is a nice animal that deserves a good home. Please ask around.
