4111.0. "Two Tiny Kittens" by FRICK::AMCGOWAN () Thu Oct 25 1990 16:00

    Hi Feliners,
    
    I just had to write and tell you about my experience this afternoon.  I
    work in MRO and was taking my lunch hour walk around the facility.  For
    those of you who have never been here, we are surrounded by wooded
    area.  Anyway, I heard a rustling in the bushes, I turned to look and
    came face to face with the two sets of the cutest little button eyes I
    have ever seen.  Two tiny kittens that could not be any more than 4 or
    5 weeks old.  I said "Oh my God, you are so cute".  Naturally they both
    ran into the brush.  One is a fluffy black one with brown eyes, the
    other is a fluffy tigar with blue eyes.  I saw the tigar again later
    and approached it.  It ran under a shed and peeked out at me.  I stood
    there talking to it.  Of course to a passerby I looked as if I was
    talking to myself. (ask me if I care)  Anyway, the two teensy things
    must be wild.  Gosh are they cute.  Wouldn't I just LOVE to add them to
    my "Pussey Collection"!!
    
    See you
    
    Arlene

	Knowing me, I would of spent the rest of the day chasing the little fur faces around. Are you going to try and catch them? Val
4111.2	The Two Baby Kitties	FRICK::AMCGOWAN		`Thu Oct 25 1990 16:39`	11
	If there is anyone interested in either of these two little darlings I would love to offer to catch them. However, I was just given two baby tigers for my birthday. I now have 4 kitties and one husband all in a condominium. My husband told me that I could have 2 more kitties AFTER we move to a larger house. So, anyone interested in the babies?? Let me know, Arlene
4111.3	AW, GO AHEAD	AIMHI::OFFEN		`Thu Oct 25 1990 18:46`	19
	Now, if that was me, I would have gone to the cafeteria, gotten some tuna-fish and gone back out to catch the little darlings. Black with brown eyes, huh?? No, I can't have anymore either. I am already up to 4 inside and 2 outside plus one dog. Why don't you try catching them and then try finding them a home afterwards?? Or bringing them to a humane society. It's starting to get cold in the evenings. That was just a suggestion. That decision is up to you. But I remember the one and only time I didn't do what my heart wanted to. I wish I had...the kitten would still be alive.... Good luck Sandi & Thunder, Lightning, DejaVu, Patches, Storm the dog and Black Beauty and Grey the outside strays
4111.4	They are on their own	FRICK::AMCGOWAN		`Fri Oct 26 1990 08:46`	5
	After what was broadcasted on Peter Jennings, re Note 4102, the humane society is out of the question. Fate will just have to take over for these two little guys. Arlene
4111.5		CRUISE::NDC	Putiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313	`Fri Oct 26 1990 09:02`	5
	correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that pound seizure is illegal in Mass. Why don't you find a no-kill shelter. I'm at MR03 and I'll be happy to loan you my fishnet to catch them. I doubt you'll get them without something to help. Nancy
4111.6	Bring them in.	WMOIS::P_RIVETTS		`Fri Oct 26 1990 11:20`	4
	Definately get them inside! It is going to be in the thirties this weekend.
4111.7		CRUISE::NDC	Putiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313	`Fri Oct 26 1990 11:43`	4
	but keep them isolated from your cats until they've seen a vet. Wash your hands with hot water and soap after any contact with them.
4111.8	Kittens	FRICK::AMCGOWAN		`Fri Oct 26 1990 16:03`	8
	Unless someone comes forward to adopt them, I have no intention of trying to catch these kittens. I am sure that they will find shelter with their mother this weekend. Regards, Arlene
4111.9		TENAYA::KOLLING	Karen/Sweetie/Holly/Little Bit Ca.	`Fri Oct 26 1990 19:08`	3
	You can find out if a given pound sells its animals for "research", and if so, if it sells live or dead ones.
4111.10		CRUISE::NDC	Putiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313	`Mon Oct 29 1990 08:00`	5
	Arlene - it is unlikely that anyone will adopt them until they've been checked out by a vet etc. All of us already have cats and can't afford to bring potentially sick ones into our houses. Nancy who has rehabilitated kitties in the past.
4111.11	Same Situation Last Summer	LEZAH::KARENK		`Tue Oct 30 1990 12:05`	20
	I ran into this same situation last year. I work at MRO1 and found 4 kittens. I couldn't get near them. Everytime I went near time they would run and hide. The mother cat eventually took them to another hiding place. I never saw the kittens or the mother cat again. I don't know if this is the same cat before that was having babies or not. There was someone in the MRO1 library who works at the Framingham Humane Society who was very helpful in trying to get the kittens trapped and off to a vet to get checked out. I don't remember her name, maybe someone else does. I hope you have better luck than I did. It is getting very cold out there. Karen
