3236.0. "Temp. home needed for my nephew-cat" by NHASAD::KRINER (tanstaafl) Thu Jan 11 1990 15:04

    Hi everyone,
    
    I'm trying to help my brother find a temporary home for his cat.  David
    (my brother) is in the Navy, and the housing that he's currently in told
    him to get rid of the cat or they would evict him.  However, once he
    finishes technical school (in about 10 months) and is stationed
    somewhere, he can have the cat (so they say... I personally don't trust
    the Navy).  Anyway, David is currently in Vallejo, CA, so if anyone
    knows of someone who would be willing to give Grimley a home for about
    10 months, please help.
    
    About Grimley, he's an 8 yr old male, black shorthair.
    He's neutered, has had all his shots, and is littertrained.
    He's an indoor/outdoor cat, and is not declawed.
    He's a good mouser, and is good with kids.
    
    *********************
    As a last resort, if we can't find a place for Grimley out there, I'll
    take him in until David can take him back.  In that case, I'd like to
    know if someone is flying from the Oakland/S.F area to either the Boston
    area or the Albany, NY area in the near future, who would be willing to
    carry him.  I'll take care of any extra expenses involved.
    
    Please help.  I'm NOT letting the Navy kill this cat!

    Hi there,
    
    After you and I spoke last week about your brother's cat, I contacted
    my friend whose stationed in Novato with the Navy.  They have five
    cats, and are allowed to have them.  Matt said that when they first
    arrived in the bay area, they had temporary housing in Vallejo,
    and were allowed the cats then.  Anyway, I will check with Matt
    to see if a home can be found for your brother's cat with one of
    the people stationed there now, and then maybe your brother can
    get the cat back when he gets into permanent housing.  If I could,
    I would take in his cat, but I can't have an indoor/outdoor cat,
    and don't have any extra rooms for isolation right now.

    Good news.  David called me last night to let me know that Grimley was
    taken care of.  It seems that Friends of Animals found a pair of
    retirees that live nearby, who will give Grimley a "foster home" until
    David & family can take Grimley back.
