| Have you checked the lost and found ads in the local papers, and
posted some "found cat" notices on telephone poles in the area?

| Karen -
No, I haven't checked the local newspapers yet, but I am planning
on it. I just want the poor thing to have a home ASAP, so I'm
wondering if anyone would be interested if no-one claims her.
I'll post an ad too.

| Does the Middlesex News go out to your area? If so -
they used to provide a service to its readers wherein
a person who found an animal could place a "found' in the
Lost and Found section of the classified. The rule was that
each person was allowed only one "find" and they kept track of
persons by their addresses - not their names. Maybe they
still provide that service free. It's worth checking out anyway.
keep us posted.

| Guess what? She's still there every night like clockwork.
I called the Bosler Humane Society (ref. note 1088) and spoke with
Elaine Bosler personally. She doesn't really want her . . . I
guess I can understand why. She gave me the name of a woman in my
area who may try to place her, but I will probably have to pay for
her to be spayed. I've left a message on her answering machine.
Some people have also responded to my FOUND ads, but if it's not
their pet, then they aren't interested.
I won't give up on this sweetheart, but I don't know if I want to
come across another one. It isn't easy, is it Elaine?

| The Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, Ma. is a no-kill
shelter, despite the implications of some that there is
no such thing. There are many older cats up for adoption
in this notes file so I think you're going to have
trouble placing her.

| 1111.7 | Call your vet... | ITSBIG::VACCARI | | Thu Feb 18 1988 16:34 | 9 |
| Pam, I was in a similar situation a few weeks ago... my next door
neighbors moved and left their cat. I called my vet (Twin City
Animal Hospital in Fitchburg) and they found a home for him after
I paid for him to be neutured.... You might want to call your vet
and see if they know of someone who might be willing to take the
cat, if you offer to have her spayed. Think of it as a charitable
contribution to society....

| Well Feliners, perseverance pays off! The woman Elaine Bosler
recommended turned out to be the Dog Officer in Douglas, MA -
Michelle Vaughn. What a nice person she is. She asked if I
would contribute (not necessary) towards having the cat spayed
and I said I would be willing to pay for the whole thing. Turns
out that she gets a discount from her vet - $30 for a spay, and
$25 for a neuter. Heck, I'll even throw in a couple of cans of
cat food too.
Apparently, she IS having luck placing kittens as well as older
cats, where some shelters shy away from taking them. On the other
hand, she is having difficulty placing older dogs.
Let's hear it for Michelle - a NO KILL Dog Officer. If anyone is
looking for a pet, she asks that you give her a call. (617)476-2576
Happy for my Backdoor Friend, Pam
