| 4477.1 | Wish I could get hold of whoever did that | DEMON::MURPHY | | Thu Mar 21 1991 16:20 | 11 |
| Oh, Val. How terrible for that poor creature. Thank God you were
there to help him. I wish I could help but with 6 indoor cats and an
old toy poodle in a 3 rm. apt. way up here in Londonderry, NH has
reached the "overcrowded" zone; some I adopted and others just showed
up near my door.
Good luck in finding him a home an please keep us posted on his
condition.

| 4477.3 | When Will It End? | SANFAN::FOSSATJU | | Thu Mar 21 1991 16:44 | 15 |
| My god, when will this cruelty stop!!! This special little kittie will
be in my prayers - I just know he'll come out of it all right.
Just once, I want to be around when someone is doing this Sh#@! In one
of the bulletins I got from the SFSPCA - it showed a picture of a cat
found in a back yard screeming it's head off - someone had used a hole
punch and punched both it's ears and ran string through it, not to
mention the fractured leg, etc. The cat made it - all in one piece and
found a wonderful home.
Best of luck and please keep us posted as to how he's progressing.
Good thoughts,

| 4477.4 | Perhaps the owner didn't do the abusing? | BOOKIE::FISCHER | | Thu Mar 21 1991 16:47 | 9 |
| Just on the chance that this cat was abused by someone other than the
owners (I've heard stories about what some of the kids in my neighbor-
hood did to cats), you might want to consider placing a "found" ad.
With the cat being as affectionate as it is, there might be a heartsick
human out there sorely missing him. I realize anyone answering the ad
would have to be screened so that this cat would never again be exposed
to such a cruel prank.

| You two are WONDERFUL to help this poor baby. Thank GOD for people
like you. If it weren't for folks who help animals I dont' think
I could stand to live in this cruel world.
Please let us know how this little guy is doing. We'll do what
we can to help.

| 4477.7 | its a start | POCUS::NORDELL | | Fri Mar 22 1991 08:41 | 12 |
| I have a friend who moved to Atlanta (Marietta) in August. She is a
real cat lover and has one indoor calico (Squeaky). I really don't
know if she could or would want another but you can call her and ask.
I would call but a plea from someone who has first-hand knowledge of
this poor guy might make a better case. She might know of someone who
would take him in. Her name is Lori at First Town Mortgage (800)
235-7760 ext. 230. She is new in town and anxious to make new friends
too. Tell her you are from Digital and that Sue in DEC Piscataway
asked that you call.

| 4477.8 | Some relief is being accomplished.. | DELNI::JMCDONOUGH | | Fri Mar 22 1991 08:49 | 17 |
| When I see this sort of mindless, ignorant, cruelty, I can only PRAY
the that ALL jurisdictions will adopt LAWS such ahs some
states--including Mass, by the way--to put these inhumane criminals
behind bars where they belong, and where they cannot hurt any more
defenseless animals.
I know of at least THREE of these MONSTERS who won't be seeing the
outside world for a few years anyway because of insane cruelty to
animals in Mass...2 for crimes against dogs, and one for a crime
against cats. Two of them received sentences of 10-to-15 years, and the
other one 3-to-5 years. All of them were forced to undergo Psychiatric
treatment, and all three have also been prohibited from owning ANY sort
of animal for the rest of their miserable lives!!
Thanks from all animals for taking this poor kitty and helping him...

| 4477.9 | BOO-KITTY UPDATE | CSCOAC::CANIPE | | Fri Mar 22 1991 10:41 | 27 |
| "Boo-kitty", which is what everyone is calling this little one, seems
to be doing much better. He had three foot-washings yesterday and last
night, and will receive more today and tomorrow (they are washed in a
solvent provided by the vet). He's also on the anibiotics. This
morning, the fur was beginning to fall off his two paws (this was
expected, part of the healing process) and he slept through the night.
My friend (Denise) and one of her co-workers are taking care of the
kitty. The vet bill was over $110 and the folks in the office
contributed over $75 with more coming in.
They are putting notices in the neighborhood near the office where the
kitty was found, and don't worry, if anyone responds that it's their
lost kitty, Denise and friends will carefully screen the person, their
home, etc.
Regarding .7, Denise is calling Lori to see if there's any chance she
might want another sweet kitty.
I'll keep everyone updated - thanks for the support....I only hope that
this story has a happy ending!

| If I could, I would !!!!!!! But I already have 4 inside and 1 stray
that I am currently taking care of plus a large dog.
I get SO SICK when I read these stories. I just want to do the same
thing to the *being* that did this to the poor animal. Wonder how
ther *being* would like to possibly lose their hands or feet due to
lack of circulation and to also be starving at the same time????
I am *SO GLAD* that you two found Boo-Kitty and are giving him the
care and treatment he definitely deserves.
The best of luch in finding him a loving home.

I can't believe that people can be so cruel... they need to be hung by

Thank God for people like you to help the little guy.. and thanks God
for the people in your office... God Bless you all....

| 4477.14 | BOO-KITTY HAS A HOME! | CSCOA1::CANIPE | | Mon Mar 25 1991 10:10 | 22 |
| WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!!
A colleague of mine here at the site in Alpharetta will be giving
Boo-Kitty a wonderful new home soon!!! Bob already has a kitty that he
found last year that was abused, and he took her in and gave her a
loving home (now she's a happy cat!). Bob is very excited about
Boo-Kitty and I know will make a terrific owner for this special little
kitty!
I can't say enough wonderful things about the support and caring from
you all - it amazes me that in the face of such inhumane cruelty,
somehow something GOOD is the outcome - Boo-Kitty will have a wonderful
new home with someone who will really care for him, I've had the pure
pleasure of "meeting" all of you and above all, it's confirmed (for
me..) that most people are kind and good and that in the end, the good
will triumph over evil!
My best to you all - go home tonight and give your kitties a little hug
from me, on behalf of Boo-Kitty.

| Yipeee...for Boo-Kitty! You guys were wonderful for taking in
this little furball and finding her a wonderful home.
You are right...this notefile has allowed me to see the wonderful
side of animal lovers....and if we all stick together...maybe we
can get rid of all the %$#@!@ in the world. I know I'm dreaming
again...but it is a happy thought!
Congrats on a job well done...Sandy

| 4477.20 | Boo-Kitty Update | CSCOAC::CANIPE | | Tue Mar 26 1991 09:02 | 9 |
| Boo-Kitty goes back to the vet today. As it looks today, he will loose
part of his back foot and only his toes on his front paw. The vet
seems very positive that he will recover well and lead a next-to-normal
life!
I appreciate everyone's concern!

seem to be the ones who have trouble with it :^)
Good luck to Boo-kitty

| 4477.22 | Goodbye Boo-Kitty | CSCOA1::CANIPE | | Mon Apr 01 1991 16:13 | 12 |
| It is with such sadness that I enter the final update on Boo-Kitty.
His infections were too great for hope for recovery and on Friday,
Denise and her vet made the decision to put him to sleep.
I am sorry to report such a sad ending to a story that was filled with
such hope. Boo-Kitty must have felt the love bestowed on him last week
from everyone he encountered, and this is a comfort to me.
My best to you all...thanks so much for your support.
Val

| 4477.23 | Our condolences... | BOOVX1::MANDILE | | Mon Apr 01 1991 16:16 | 7 |

Oh well, at least he had the last week of his life
loved and cared for.

My thoughts are with him and all of you who tried so hard to
help him.

| How would you like the little guy listed for the Silver Lining
Memorial? Is "Boo-kitty" how you want him remembered?
Poor little thing. I am glad that he got to know some love in
his short little life.
