Home Wanted for Charlie! Charlie is a 5 year old black/white cat
who loves the outdoors. He's a great hunter, very well mannered,
stays in now and then, but prefers to be outside. In the Winter
he stays in a little bit more. He also gets along with other cats
and some dogs.
I travel a lot and just can't keep Charlie anymore. I hate to bring
him to the Humane Society or even a Cat Shelter. Does anyone know
of someone who would love to have him. He would be great on a farm,
or where there is woods. He is not an inside cat (that would make
him real unhappy). He has been altered and had his initial shots.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
Linda

Hi Linda:
Meant to respond to your note earlier - but got side tracked and I am
just now getting caught up on my 'to-do' list.
I hope you don't let Charlie go. Sometimes cats have 'us' trained and
you just think he is unhappy because you won't let him out - especially
if you already do and it is part of his routine. If I hear (read) you
correctly - I am under the assumption that he is outdoors more than
indoors, correct?
Like children, we do have the control AND if you decide not to let him
out anymore (for whatever reason) there will be an adjustment period.
It may not be easy/pleasant but it is possible. I had a cat (Siamese)
that for 12 years was indoor/outdoor. Then, because of his age and his
alertness we decided he was safer in doors. He cried - man did he CRY
- to go outside, but after a couple of nights he gave up crying and
became very contented to stay in. In fact, the kids would 'try' to see
if he would go for a walk and he didn't want any part of it.
It's your decision - and I am sure you will make the best choice for
you AND Charlie.

P.S. Perhaps a 'brother' or 'sister' for Charlie would help to
keep him company on your trips from home - and the two could
play indoors?

| 3681.2 | It is more because I travel so much. | BIZNIS::BERSANI | Fri Jun 08 1990 17:22 | 7 | |
Marilyn, I don't think I made myself clear. I am traveling a lot with
my job, several trips a year, pluse private time away and I can't
afford a pet sitter for all these trips, nor can I keep him in. He has
been an outside cat all his life and it would be cruel to confine him.
But thanks for your reply.

Linda,
Sorry, I misinterpeted your note.
Where are you located - perhaps there are some people in this notesfile
that live in your area that can help you with this.
