671.0. "DESPERATE FOR A HOME - PLEASE HELP" by OGOMTS::RYAN () Fri Jul 17 1987 12:24

    I have a stray cat that sits outside my apartment (day and night)
    I've asked everyone in the neighborhood about the cat - noone owns
    it, nor knows who owns it.  I've taken it upon myself to try and
    find her a good home.  I think she's been "dropped off" so to speak,
    in the parking lot next door where she was for about 7 days before
    she chose my bushes to sleep in.  She furrows into the truck that
    holds the deli garbarge.
    
    I cannot have her because I'm an apartment dweller, I was allowed
    to have my one kitten who is now a cat.  Although I have "strict"
    orders I did try - NO GO.  And this stray does not seem to be
    interested in my cat.  SO, PLEASE HELP!
    
    - She is a orange and white tabby
    - She is VERY friendly (which is why I think someone owned her)
    - She likes being outside but I have coaxed her inside and she seems
    ok with that, until my cat appears, then she gets scared and wants
    out.
    - She's located in Ayer 
    - I have NO idea if she spayed, and she does have claws although
    she's never made a move to use them on me or my cat.
    - I live on a VERY busy street near the main street and she seems
    to watch herself and the cars/people around her.
    
    IF ANYONE could help me on this I'd really appreciate it.  I started
    feeding her because I felt bad for her and I'm a cat lover myself.
    However, this can't go on.  Unfortunately I don't feel that if I
    took her to the shelter in our area she'd be placed right away and
    I can't put her in a cage since she doesn't mind being outside.
    The Humane Society near me also doesn't have such a HOT placement
    record.  If someone could adopt her I'm sure she'd be a wonderful
    pet so I'd like to try this first - For her sake.
    
    One more thing - she seems to be alert, can't detect any fleas in
    her coat or around her and her eyes are clear.
