| I'm curious...
What does new carpet have to do with getting rid of cats? Do they pee
all over it, scratch it, or is your mom just tired of vacuuming?

If you can, take the male to a farm. If he's so happy that way...
?

| 2299.3 | If he's neutered I'll take him... | FRAGLE::PELUSO | | Wed Mar 15 1989 13:04 | 8 |
| Is the male neutered? If he is, I'll take him @ my barn.

p.s.
I am also wondering what a new carpet has to do with finding kitties
new homes...

| Yes, I, too, am wondering about the new carpet. If it is stains
she is worried about, I don't even have stainmaster carpet and there
is not a cat-related stain I haven't been able to remove with the right
product. For example, when I called home yesterday from work, my
fiance informed me that one of the cats had puked on the rug. I
told him to get off his butt and clean it up. Well, Dana loves
the cats but he considers all disgusting tasks my responsibility
and so it sat until I got home. It cleaned up beautifully with
a little elbow grease and No Stain Carpet Stain Remover.
I was a little taken aback by this note. A new carpet seems like
an awfully shallow reason to give up a beloved pet.

| 2299.6 | Why? | UTROP2::RUSIUS_L | | Thu Mar 16 1989 03:13 | 8 |
| If you decide to take cats, it seems to me that you love them,
does she like a new carpet better than her pets???
Can't she wait intil the old cat is gone, because at this age I
think it's hard to find a new home for her.
(I known it's none of my bussines, but I just can't understands
these kind of things)

| 2299.7 | I can't believe this sort of thing... | MPGS::MARGOLIS | Paula Beth | Thu Mar 16 1989 07:22 | 9 |
| RE: .6...
I agree... Argh! It tears me up...the heartlessness in some people.
My Mom never had/never will have pets because of "what it might
do to her house".
Ridiculous!

| Where are you located? I have a list of humane shelters in the
New England area. I think that would be much more kind than
having them put to sleep.
Also, please put a note in the classified ad notes file - I have
had very good luck finding cats homes through classsifed.
I'd love to help you out but I have three of my own and am nursing
a fourth back to health before it goes onto its new home.
Regards,
Kathy

| Melissa,
I sent mail to your account, but when I tried to call you, I was
told that you'd left. I'm trying to track you down. Please call
me at 297-2313. Provided your little tabby is FLV negative, we'll
take her rather than see her put to sleep.
Please call so we can talk about it.

| Mild flame warning:
Putting cats down, or any pets, because someone doesn't want them
is rather reprehensible, in my book, unless you have very good reason
to put them down rather than at LEAST attempt to find a new home.
I hate it when people treat pets as disposable assets.
Please do give them to someone like nancy who is willing to try
and re-place them.

| RE: -1 - That is the polite-est flame on I've ever heard.
And I agree with you. I didn't say much because its not the
author of the note who's doing this, its her mother. I just
pray I can get in touch with her before its too late. Jack
is in agreement with me that we can't allow this to happen.

| I know it's her mother too, and I certainly don't mean to cast
aspirsions (is that how you spell it?) on her mom as a whole, I
just take exception to the cat situation. I know of people who
had cats put down (they WOULD NOT allow even the vet tech to take
em home) because--get this--the cats didn't match the new decor
after they remodeled the house.

| I have been unable to track down the author of the original
note. Apparently, by the time I saw the note she had left
her current position and had gone to another DEC facility.
If anyone has any idea how I can contact her, Please let me
know. Thanks

| Nancy,
Just a thought. . . the original author mentioned taking the cats
to the Goffstown Animal Shelter. Maybe try giving them a call -
you would be able to at least find out if the cats had been brought
there yet.

| 2299.15 | She was able to hold Mom off, and they will be OK. | NEBVAX::BELFORTI | DISPATCHING: it's a living(barely) | Mon Mar 27 1989 13:19 | 8 |
| To ease all your minds, I just spoke to Melissa this morning.
She and her boyfirend and her roommate ate renting another place
where they can have all the pets they want. Her boyfirend has 2
Labs (??) and they will be taking 2 of the cats. Her sister already
took one, and will be taking the older female too. That takes care
of all the cats, and they never had to leave the people who loved
them, just a little change in residency. Melissa is thrilled she
can still have her babies.

| 2299.16 | huh, what did I say????? | NEBVAX::BELFORTI | DISPATCHING: it's a living(barely) | Mon Mar 27 1989 13:23 | 4 |
