4662.0. "LAP CATS NEED HOMES" by FSOA::HLEINONEN () Mon May 20 1991 19:12

    
    
    	My two lap cats need a new LOVING home. I'm moving
    	into a new house and although the landlord made an
    	exception for my kitties he's terribly allergic to 
    	them. I'll be living in an in-law apartment that's
    	connected to the main house and I've tried having
    	them in the vicinity - it just doesn't work - he 
    	has a very bad reaction to them. He's even reacted
    	to my clothing when I'm covered with fur ...
    
    	They're indoor kitties now and I considered letting
    	them outside, but the street is far too busy and
    	the worries I'd have far outweigh the thought of them
    	in a good home.
    
    	TIGGR: 17 lbs of fuzzy orange tiger, 4 yeard old, neutured,
    	easy-going, purrs LOUDLY all the time, loves to snuggle.
    
    	MOUSE: Small, all black, front double-paws, 4 years old,
    	spayed, talks to you quite a bit, loves to have tummy rubbed.
    
    	They're brother and sister and I've had them since they were
    	4 weeks old. Aside from vet visits they've never been apart
    	so I'd rather keep them together.
    
    	If anyone can offer a GOOD home full of LOVE please contact
    	me soon. Also, if anyone knows of shelters that GUARANTEE
    	adoptions, I'd appreciate the name.
    
    		Thanks!           Heidi

    I don't know of a shelter in the world that guarantees that a cat will
    be adopted. Some cats are not considered adoptable and some potential 
    adopters do not meet the shelters' requirements for good, permanent 
    homes. If you've had these two cats since they were small kittens 
    and are now giving them up, how can a shelter guarantee that someone 
    else will adopt them and give them a good home for their entire lifetime? 

    I wish you luck in finding new, good, and permanent homes for Tiggr and
    Mouse. It is now kitten season and you have a *lot* of competition...

    Sorry if I've painted a bleak picture, but reality is sometimes painful.
