4426.0. "ORANGE TIGER CAT FOUND IN TOWNSEND, MA." by AKOCOA::GURNEY () Mon Mar 04 1991 11:20

    There is a short-haired orange tiger cat located in Townsend Center.
    The girl at the Balloons store has been feeding it.  It is in very
    touch shape right now.  It looks like it has been hit.  I am going to
    call the Pepperell Dog officer today to have him pick the cat up.
    
    I wanted to post this note because the cat looks like it was healthy
    at one time and did belong to someone.  
    
    I have already called my vet in Pepperell to see if anyone was missing
    a tiger cat and she has one women who is going to call.
    
    Before I call the Dog officer, I wanted to know if this is the right
    place to call.  Should I be calling a shelter or something?

    I think you'd be better off dealing with a shelter.  But I don't
    know who to tell you to call.  My feeling is that the dog officer
    will just have the cat put to sleep.  Perhaps Framingham Humane
    could take it if you would provide transport.  They might be willing
    to cover the medical expenses if you agreed to foster the cat until
    it was well enough to place in a new home.

4426.3FOUND ORANGE TIGER CAT IN TOWNSEND, MA.AKOCOA::GURNEYFri Mar 08 1991 13:1911
    Kitty Angels in Tyngsboro said they would take the cat but we haven't
    been able to locate it.  I've asked the girl at the balloon shop to
    watch for it and call me when she sees it.  I haven't heard from her
    yet.  I can't do to much after work because it is usually dark by the
    time I get home.  I will look this weekend to see if I can find it.
    
    I am hoping that maybe it did belong to someone and decided to go home.
    
    We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

    Susan,
    
    Please keep me informed...the reason I was questioning was...
    about 1 month ago there was an ad in my local paper (Fitchburg
    which is not toooo far from Townsend) that said an orange cat was
    missing from my neighborhood.   When I saw your note...something
    triggered in my mind about the cat that was missing.
    
    I have no idea who put the ad in the paper...but I was going to
    call the paper to see if they would look up the telephone number 
    for me on the person that placed the ad.   I just know that I'm 
    still missing Cam and if I had any lead...I would want to follow 
    up on it.  Just let me know if the cat shows back up.
