1156.0. "Taylor is seeking a home" by NHL::DALEY () Tue Mar 01 1988 17:25

    I wanted to tell you fellow-noters about a cat we have up
    for adoption at our shelter - The Framingham Humane Society.
    Perhaps a special person can open your heart to him 
    - he's been through alot for his short life.
    
    His name is Taylor and he is a neutered male, part Siamese (but
    looks almost to be a purebred), about 1-1/2 years old. He has
    large blue eyes and I believe his markings are those of a Sealpoint.
    
    Taylor was caught in a car fanbelt recently on one of these cold
    mornings when someone started up her car, and when we got to him, 
    he was in a very BAD way physically but he was still alive. 
    Through alot of good vet care, Taylor made it. His owners have never 
    been located so he is now needing a home.
    
    He loves attention but is unpredictable having bitten the hand of 
    one of the workers a couple times. His apparent changes of modes have 
    been lessening of late, and one of the workers sits with him now in 
    his cage, petting him, and talking to him - and his behavior has been 
    very good. We think his quick turns were because he was still in alot 
    of pain from his injuries, and perhaps he is not used to so many
    cats and people in a small place.
    
    Right now, Taylor sits in the front of his cage crying - meowing
    - for attention. He was obviously someone's pet at some time and
    he is not used to being caged. I feel very sorry for him. I would
    take him except that I already have 7 cats and cannot adopt anymore.
    
    If anyone is interested in Taylor, you can either call me at
    DTN 282-1748 (WJO); write me at WJO::DALEY; or go down to the shelter 
    to see him:
    
    We are located at the Southboro Boarding Kennels on Oregon Road
    in Southboro (I can give directions). Adoptions are on Thursday night 
    from 5-7, and on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 to 4:00.

	As a FAHS volunteer, I second Pat's request for Taylor needing a good home with very special people. He is a beautiful cat, and every time I go to the shelter, there's Taylor, looking at me pitifully from the inside of his pen, crying out for attention. If you know of anyone looking for a cat to adopt, please send them our way.

	If I know of someone, I will definitely send them to the FAHS. Now what do I do? There is a cat named Holly in this notes file, now there is a cat named Taylor. I guess I should feel honored to be named after such wonderful feline friends. Holly Taylor

	Re: .2 Holly, this is a sign from above -- this cat has your name on it! How can you pass up the opportunity to have a cat that would be named Taylor Taylor? Linda
1156.4	directions to shelter	PBA::DALEY		`Thu Mar 03 1988 10:32`	56
	Directions to the Framingham Humane Society Shelter. (Also - I was asked if we currently have kittens: right now we do not have little kittens - some young cats however. Kitten season starts in about another 2 months. Right now we have two pregnant females, one will deliver any day now, and those kittens will be ready for adoption in about 8 weeks. Last year in the spring we literally had dozens and dozens of kittens. So if it is a kitten you want - want a couple months). Coming from Framingham: Take Salem End Road from Framingham Center towards Southboro. Salem End Rd. passes Macomber Farm on the left. Immediately after passing Macomber Farm is an intersection with a branch going to the right, one going to a hard left, but Salem End goes straight ahead. Continue on Salem End for about 3 miles (it is a winding road) eventually entering Soutbboro. Here the road changes its nameto Oregon Road. Continue down Oregon Road (you will pass the Oregon Club on the right) for a couple miles. You will come to an intersection with a stop sign. Continue across the interection and go about another 1/2 mile. The Southboro Boarding Kennels is on the left side. Go inside and up the stairs. Coming from Marlboro - Take Route 85 to Route 30. After crossing over the reservoir take the first right (I believe it is Central Street). This will bring you out to a Route 9 intersection. Straight ahead on the other side of the road will be Farrell Volvo, which is on the corner of Route 9 and Oak Hill Road. Go up Oak Hill Road for about 2 miles. You will come to a "Dangerous Intersection" sign where Oak Hill Road intersects with Oregon Road. Turn right, and continue for about 1/2 mile. Southboro Boarding Kennels is on left. Coming from Route 9 west (from Shrewsbury): Turn right at Farrell Volvo onto Oadk Hill Road. Turn right at intersection of Oak Hill and Oregon Road. Continue 1/2 mile. Southboro Boarding Kennel is on left. Pat

	I'm sorry - that should have read - "if it is a kitten you want - WAIT a couple months".
1156.6	The end of Taylor's saga	SKIF::CJOHNSON		`Mon Mar 07 1988 08:56`	18
	My wife and I had just lost a cat that adopted US about 17 years ago -- and Taylor sounded like the answer. We went down to the Shelter on Thursday, but Taylor was not there. He had been taken to the Vets -- we assumed for some work. We left our name & address, with the hopes that we could see Taylor at some other time over the weekend. We got a call back that Taylor had to be 'put down' -- evidently the feeling was that he had suffered some brain-damage, and that was shy he was so violently unpredictable. Needless to say, it almost feels as if we have suffered another loss. So, if anyone knows of an ungainly, double-pawed (on all four feet) blue-eyed (and cross-eyed) somewhat tabby-pointed Siamese -- let us know. We need one badly.

	Poor Taylor. I know the folks who have been caring for him, as well as you both, are very sad. And our sympathies on the loss of your own cat. Karen, Sweetie, and Holly.
1156.8	Abandoned Kitty	GEMVAX::RICHTER		`Mon Mar 14 1988 13:02`	5
	If you have not yet found the kitty you are seeking, please see note 1176 to see if you are interested. Thanks Carol
