2280.0. "LOOKING FOR GOOD, CARING HOME FOR A SMALL FRIEND" by RETORT::BREDA () Thu Mar 09 1989 09:55

    I'm looking for a good, caring home for a cat I found this morning
    in Charlton Massachusetts.  It (I'm not sure if it is a male or
    female at this point), was trying to cross the street and almost
    got hit.  It is a beautiful long-haired tiger.
    
    The reason why this cat caught my attention was that it was limping
    very badly.  It let me pick it up, with little hesitation, where
    I immediately noticed its back right paw had partially bitten off.
    I brought it to the vet this morning, where they told me it looked
    as though the injury occured a day or two ago.  I will pay for whatever
    needs to be done to put the kitty back in good shape again.  By
    the way, I did stop at a house right next door and they did not
    think the cat belonged to anyone in the area, (they had seen it
    limping around the day before).  I will put signs up in the immediate
    area - but I am somewhat hesitant, since the cat had been injured
    for a period of time and no one (like the owner) had taken care
    of it. 
                                              
    Also, for a cat that was obviously in pain, it had a very calm ,
    gentle disposition.  It was very trusting and rode without any
    problems in my car to the vet.
                                                      
    
    I cannot keep the cat, as I have three of my own and that is more
    than enough for the size of  my apartment.
    
    Pleae let me know if you or anyone you know could provide a good
    home to this cat - I would like to avoid putting it in a shelter
    (humane or not), if at all possible.
    
    Regards,

    I took the cat to Southbridge Vetrinary Medical Services on
    route 169, Dr. Simonelli is caring for the kitty.
    
    Any particular reason why you were wondering about the vet?

    That was a wonderful thing you did Kathy.  If the vet bills
    become unmanagable, let me know.  I'll try to help out some.
    We have four feline friends, so I know it can get expensive.

    Good News - I have found a very good home for Mr. Cat.
    
    Nancy,  thanks very much for your offer!  Hopefully he will
    respond to the antibiotics and won't need surgery.
