| 3998.1 | I forgot, add this | CSSE::CST | Isn't that a moon cat? | Thu Sep 13 1990 15:56 | 9 |
| PS.
I forgot to add that she has her own house and lives there alone. And
I couldn't afford to spend alot for the cat but I will see that all
supplies are bought and that it gets good veterinary care. Plus I
wouldn't have to bring my cats down every time I visited, there would
already be a furface there!!! I also go down now at least once to
every other month to check on her and do work around thehouse

| Sneakers needs a new home...
Sneakers is approx. 12 years old and his owner has recently moved and
not been able to take him. He is neutered, friendly and was basically an
indoor cat until his mother got a dog. Sneakers is grey with white
paws and white around the mouth (like he's been in a bowl of milk).
He is now being taken care of by a friend of mine, who feeds him. but
unfortunatly she cant keep because she also has a dog. sneakers spends
alot of time outside now.
As best we know, sneakers has had all his shots.
To find more out about sneakers or to see him..
Please call Sheila LeBlanc @ DTN: 264-9335 or (603) 424-6109
or write to Sheila @ CGVAX2::LEBLANC
Thanks,
Cheryl

| I would visit a shelter and look for an older cat who was used to being
an indoor cat. Probably a slightly overweight puss is a clue to
one who is sedate enough to settle in comfortably with your
grandmother.

| Well my aunt is 85 and lives with a black maine coon who is low
key. But she really needs someone in there daily since the litter
box is not within her range of motion let alone remember feeding
at regular times. Also the cat has gotten under foot as she shuffles
down the hall making an accident a usual worry. It seems to have
worked so far but the weekly check would be to long in our case.

| 3998.5 | Try the adoption note #415 & local shelters... | BOOVX1::MANDILE | | Fri Sep 14 1990 09:45 | 12 |
| Is your grandmother capable of daily cat care?
Cans, bags & foil bags of catfood are hard to open,
and bending over to pick up and refill water & food
dishes can be difficult at her age.
Don't forget to provide for the cat if it does outlive
your grandmother!
Good luck!

| My husband's grandmother is 95 and she has a cat. She complains about
the cat all the time (it is really still a kitten -- only about a year
old), calling her a B*T*H but she would NEVER give that cat up for
anything.
She also lives alone but fortunately has her wits about her and can
feed the cat and change its litter box.
I think a cat would be a great idea!
Don't forget to check the "For Adoption Ads" in this conference as well
as the free ads in the Sunday newspaper.
Good luck!

| I think its a wonderful idea. I think an older cat 6+ years old
would be a good choice.

| 3998.8 | Good bye and Thank you!:^{ | CSSE::CST | Isn't that a moon cat? | Fri Sep 14 1990 17:09 | 9 |
| I want to say thanks to all of you who have been so helpful!!
Hopefully, next week I will have another assignment for a while and
will be back before you know it. I have talked with Cin and have
probably found the perfect little baby for Nan. I will be at the TICA
show next Friday to see all who is there and the "little one".
Paw pats to all!

| 3998.10 | Here I am with the results! | AKOV13::FALLON | | Tue Oct 02 1990 11:29 | 15 |
| Hello everyone!
I am back now but in AKO1. An update to this story:
Thank you very much Cin!! My grandmother now has a little cream girl
which she has named Goldie. They are getting along very well. When I
talk to my grandmother she tells me how every morning when she wakes up
she looks over on the other bed and Goldie is sleeping there and
keeping her company. If you could hear her voice you would know how
happy she is. I will give further updates as I can.
Regards to all and it's great to be back!
Karen, Ruby, Stinky, Wing, and hopefully Arthur who will be visiting
soon.
