1181.0. "Cute Kitty Needs Home" by DSSDEV::WEBB () Mon Mar 14 1988 17:32

    "I'm sweet and I'm young, but mom says I have to go."
    
    Wanted:  Good home for adorable grey and white female with "eyeliner",
    1 year old, would make an excellent mouser or outdoor/barn cat.
    She is completely house trained (litter box) but she has lots of
    energy.  She and her brother are a bit too much for my wife, we
    would consider giving them away as a pair, but I definitely need
    to find her a home.

    RE: 1. 
    
         I hear and feel what you are saying.  But it is a fact of life,
    pets are VERY dispensable.  Some of us have the feeling that acquiring
    a pet is a life-long committment and you had better think long and
    hard before taking a "child" in.  Other's do not share that philoshopy
    and that's human nature.  However we will never be able to change
    a lot of mindsets on that issue so the best we can try to do is
    encourage our fellow noters not to be afraid to let us know when
    a pet needs a new home for whatever reason.  The pet will be going
    anyway and just maybe we can find a home right in here so the transi-
    tion can be so much smoother and happier then the other alternatives.

1181.4AgainREORG::WEBBTue Mar 15 1988 15:1615
    I tried the Barn Manager Wanted note, but the position had already
    been filled.
    
    I believe in responsible pet ownership.  Unfortunately, I also believe
    in continuing the institution of marriage.  I feel bad enough already
    having to give the cat away.  Like I said, she's sweet and I have
    always loved cats.
    
    The male has been neuteured (sp?) and the female will be spayed.
    They are currently indoor cats, but they want to play outside.
    
    I need to place the female, definitely.  I would be happy placing
    both in a good home.
    
    This is a desperate plea.

    Jeff,
    
          There is someone that will be getting in contact with you
    sometime soon.  They are looking for a little sister for their little
    boy :^).  No guarantees I just thought I'd let you know in case
    the desperate is getting more desperate.... Sorry to hear this was
    putting a strain on your homelife.  I understand that only too well.
    Have a nice day :^)
                                                    KIM
1181.6Don't delay spaying herTOKLAS::FELDMANPDS, our next successMon Mar 21 1988 18:358
    If you still haven't placed the cat, you should get her spayed while
    you keep trying.  One year old is old enough.  A spayed cat is probably
    easier to place.  And finally, she might just quiet down enough
    for you and your wife to reconsider.  (Then again, she might not.
    But since you were planning on spaying her anyway, it's silly to
    put it off.)

1181.7She's spayed nowREORG::WEBBTue Mar 22 1988 12:176
    I took your advice for the reasons suggested.  She is not not only
    cute, but also spayed, vaccinated, etc.  Her and her brother are
    doing better in our new home (when it's cold they stay in the basement,
    during the day in warm weather they are outside).  I would still
    like to place her, though I am not desperate now (owing to relative
    domestic tranquility).
