1290.0. "OUR VERY OWN ADOPTION AGENCY" by NORDIC::MARGOLISP () Fri Apr 22 1988 08:09

    Great idea in note 1266.45!  How many of you out there have adopted,
    or have placed, cats through this notesfile?

1290.1CIVIC::JOHNSTONI _earned_ that touch of grey!Fri Apr 22 1988 08:521
    Milo is an adoptee that I first heard of in the notes.
1290.2DEVEL::MARSDENFri Apr 22 1988 09:2412
    I adopted my beautiful "Missy" last summer from a New Hampshire
    noter.
    
    --- And am forever torn to add more (but am in a one bedroom
    apartment at the moment).
    
    What ever happed to the idea of a "cat club" -- I would be more
    than willing to help develop/create/maintain some sort of
    newsletter.

I have two who came to me courtesy of FELINE:

	Punkin Head - thanks to Pat Murphy

	Spats Growltiger - arrgh, can't remember the woman's name - 
			   he was a stray in Ayer


Interesting, both are orange!

1290.6We should tell the National EnquirerINDEBT::TAUBENFELDAlmighty SETFri Apr 22 1988 10:169
    Good question about the cat club.  Someone sent a letter out to
    frequent noters in the feline file asking if anyone had a copy of
    the original letter sent out about the cat club.  I didn't have
    one but someone in my group did so I forwarded it on.  The person
    said thanks and that was the last I heard of it.
    
    I guess it's a curse, those who start the DEC cat club shall disappear
    from the face of the earth....
    
1290.7does indirectly count?AIMHI::MCCURDYFri Apr 22 1988 10:395
    Hmm.. I got Happy (Pookies new little sister) indirectly from this
    file. Our own E.T introduced me to Happys former owner, and as the
    saying goes it was love at first meowr...
    Regards

    Tasha was adopted through the file -- and I couldn't imagine being
    without her!  
1290.10cat clubVAXWRK::DUDLEYFri Apr 22 1988 15:308
    RE:  Cat Club
    
    We didn't disappear but there was very little interest
    received from the original letter.  It did seem though
    that quite a few people never got the letter.  So per-
    haps we should try assess the interest level again?

1290.12Alex-II, too!GRECO::MORGANDoris Morgan DTN 223-9594Fri Apr 22 1988 23:063
    Alex-II was adopted in a very round-about fashion from this conference.
    I found him and posted a notice, hoping someone would adopt him.
    I adopted him!!
1290.13Another threesome...HELCAT::MASONExplaining is not understandingSat Apr 23 1988 09:127
    Emma, Lucy and Max all were located as a result of a query (panicked)
    to this conference. Two different sources at two different times,
    but from here nonetheless.
    
    Thanks!

1290.14yet anotherCHEFS::TUDORKIsis & Tarot - the moggie mafiaMon Apr 25 1988 06:2412
    I placed Jennie through the file.  It's very tempting to offer a
    full time advertising service for the local shelters, but if I couldn't
    place a cat I'd end up adopting it and I can't keep more than 2.
    
    Anyway - Jennie is very happy with Lawson, we went to see her the
    other night and she has settled in and has the household eating
    out of her paw.                                           
    
    Another success for FELINE

1290.15Adopt-a-CharmSWAT::COCHRANEBeen there,done that,what's next?Mon Apr 25 1988 12:007
    Charm wandered into our lives thanks to Rob and Martha Spence,
    and an ad in this notesfile.
    
    Life would be so much duller without her, and Niniane wouldn't
    be anywhere near as happy!!!

1290.17Alexandra the greatest, same way as Alex II !VAXWRK::SKALTSISDebMon Apr 25 1988 17:139
    RE: .12
    
    Doris, my Alex (a.k.a. Alexandra the Greatest) was adopted under
    the exact same circumstances.  I found her outside my office window,
    posted a note (and naturally contacted all the dog officers and
    vets in the area), and when she wasn't claimed within 2 weeks I
    decided that that ment "finders-keepers".

1290.182 more adopted via this file58355::STRONACHWed May 04 1988 13:455
Robin had posted available pets from the Pelham Animal Shelter -- remember the
stink about the up and coming "murders" of the felines?  Beau Beau and Boo Boo
were rescued by us and I know they know -- they are both sooooo lovable!!


1290.19Sterling Silver57915::HTAYLORCat lovers are a special breedWed May 04 1988 13:498
    well, now that  I think of it, Silver was adopted through this notes
    file.  I put a note in looking for a Korat breeder and I got the
    name of Susan Millott.  I contacted Susan and I bought Silver from
    her.

1290.20I'M HEREAIMHI::OFFENThu Jun 16 1988 14:0110
    Black Thunder was of course adopted by me from another noter.  I
    was actually looking for a White Cat with a Black Streak and ended
    up with a Pure Black Kitty.
    
    DejaVu almost counts.  she was on her way to the Derry Humane Society
    when I adopted her.

1290.21Koko was adopted through notes too!NSG022::POIRIERIt's over already!Thu Jun 16 1988 14:328
    Now I don't feel left out - I too now have a kitty adopted through
    this notes file - Koko.  I got her from Linda who posted a note
    stating that her neighbors moved out and left behing a pregnant
    cat!  Now Mandy is no longer an only child - now I'll have two spoiled
    kids.
    
    Suzanne
    
1290.22Mr. Whiskers too...SHRFAC::CARIBOThu Jun 16 1988 14:5916
    I guess that Mr. Whiskers (Whiskers or Whiskey for short) counts too!
    
    Thanks to Pat Daley, I was put in touch with the Framingham Animal
    Shelter, and adopted Whiskers.  He has since adopted my husband
    as his own!
    
    Roo, is so happy that she has someone to chase around the house and
    play tag with, since Bunnie (Manx) is really to sophisticated
    for that!
    
    Thanks to this note file and it's dedicated and caring noters for
    the happiness brought into many of our homes, by adopting these
    homeless friends.
