1745.0. "want to adopt a kitten" by FSTVAX::WIMMER () Wed Sep 07 1988 13:55

    I'll be looking to adopt a kitten October 1.  The reason for the
    specific date is that I have two dogs (see note 1721).  I'll be
    moving September 30 and I think the best time to introduce the kitten
    will be right after moving so that the dogs have not had time to
    establish "territory".  So....I would like to find a kitten old
    enough to deal with the dogs, of reaonable size, and preferably,
    accustomed to seeing and/or interacting with dogs.  I live in
    Newburyport, Ma and work in Bedford.
    
    Thanks,
    Diane

	I would suggest you adopt from the local animal shelter. Most cats and kittens there are neutered and immunized for free before adoption, and you would be saving several lives (usually they are killed after 10 days at a shelter). Good luck - KBS
1745.2	they won't let me	FSTVAX::WIMMER		`Thu Sep 08 1988 13:21`	6
	I would like to adopt from the shelter, however, that may be a problem. I spoke to someone at the Northeast Animal Shelter who told me they would not allow me to adopt a kitten because I had dogs who had not lived with a cat previously.
1745.3	adopt from this file!	SALEM::DEFRANCO		`Thu Sep 08 1988 13:25`	5
	Gosh, you might want to adopt a cat or kitten (or both) from this notes file. There seems to be so many that need homes! Jeanne

	>"...won't let me adopt because...." If it was me, I'd lie like a rug. Edd
1745.5	Can you wait??	CLUSTA::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Thu Sep 08 1988 13:44`	10
	Well, now, if you wanna wait until the end of October, I just happen to have 4 little babies that will be ready to go to homes. But, like Edd, I'd lie like a rug. Remember that shelters are looking for permanent placements; it doesn't do much good to place a kitten only to get it back because of a doggy dispute. I can understand their position... Mary

	re .3 I'd be very happy to adopt a kitten from this file. The only thing that is a little awkward is the specific date issue. I don't think it would work out as well if I get one, then promptly move everybody 2 weeks later, especially since this move is only for 2 or 3 months anyway (I'm going into a rental until the place I'm buuying is completed). When I put the original note up, I was hoping that someone might have kittens ready to go at about that time. re .3 -- I thought about lying, but was told they sometimes do followup checking? Diane
1745.7	I have a kitten for you!!	CASV01::HEADBERG		`Thu Sep 15 1988 06:10`	8
	Are you still looking for a kitten?? I have a nice black and white kitten that I am trying to find a home for. She is 2 1/2 months old now. We have a dog also, so she is use to being around a dog. This kitten is the last one left from a litter of 4. We took in a stray cat, which had kittens shortly afterwards. We are keeping the mother cat but would like to find a home for all the kittens.
