4915.0. "Wareham Mini Cat Shelter, Wareham, MA" by BOOVX1::MANDILE (Lynne Mandile a.k.a. HRH) Mon Sep 09 1991 10:57

    This note is for the Wareham Mini Cat Shelter, Wareham, MA
    that I am a volunteer for. (-:  It is affiliated with the
    Wareham/Carver Cat Shelter, and The Standish Humane Society.
    
    The Wareham/Carver Shelters were started to try to help all the
    countless "nobody" cats living in woods, dumpsters and beach areas.
    Very few of the cats or kittens at the shelter come from private homes.
    
    			    NOBODY'S CAT
    
                Born in a world where nobody cared,
                Hungry for anything nobody shared.
    
                Screamed at and kicked at,
                eyes filled with fear....
                It's nobody's cat,
                so don't shed a tear.
    
                Pelted with stones,
                bitten by dogs,
                Parasite ridden,
                wet from the bogs.
    
                She's nobody's worry,
                nobody's load,
                nobody's pain,
                lying there by the road.
    
                Well, nobody bled,
                and nobody cried.
                She was nobody's cat,
                now nobody died.

    I will be posting stories about our kittens and cats (If you read
    Lucy's story, you already have read about one of our cats!)
    that are available for adoption.  The Wareham Mimi Cat Shelter
    is located in Wareham, MA. (towards Cape Cod, for those unfamiliar 
    with the area)

4915.1KITTENS! have had 1st shots and vet care...BOOVX2::MANDILELynne Mandile a.k.a. HRHFri Sep 06 1991 11:3039
    Where:  Wareham, MA Cat Shelter (near the Cape)
    
    Fee:    Free*  ($15.00 deposit per kitten, refundable upon proof
            of spaying/neutering of said kitten - of course, shelter
            *loves* to get proof of spaying/neutering, and being told to
             keep the deposit! (-; )
         
    Grat:   Shelter gives a bag of "goodies" with the kitten.  A coupon
            good for a free bag of catfood, a nametag, and other items
            that I can't remember right now.  (forgive me, TGIF!)
    
    
	Approx. age of kittens is 3 months....all are drop offs, semi-feral
        or abused. (drop off/abused as in dumped by the road, at the pound, or
        rescued by caring cat persons.....like the one's from the burlap
        bag in the water story.....)
    
        Black Female & Black male  - both sat in my lap purring away,
        and love to be petted, held and scratched under the chin.
        Were starved, but are coming around nicely.....
    
        Calico female - Poor baby was abused - she gets frightened if
        picked up, but will tuck her head into your hand, begging you
        to pat her head, especially enjoys being petted on the head -
        goes into purring, toe curling ectasy....
    
        Red tabby w/white male - was tossed out a car window onto the
        front lawn of the shelter.  Quiet, not really shy but not sure
        if he is welcome by humans any more (from the trauma of being
        tossed out the car window, I'm sure...grrrr....) but, cautiously
        crawled into my lap, and came around quickly with some gentle
        petting and scratching, and even attempted to play with my fingers.
    
    	Many more......call/mail me for Shelter phone# -  private phone#.

4915.2Update to .1075 - Special Cat Person Home neededBOOVX1::MANDILELynne Mandile a.k.a. HRHMon Sep 09 1991 07:4823
    Re .1075  The calico female found a home Friday!!! Yeah!!!
    
    Everyone wants a kitten that is >very< friendly, that purrs and
    loves to be *held*, that craves attention, wanting to be petted
    and cradled in your arms, looking at you with eyes full of adoration
    and love, and then tucking his head under your chin, all the while purring
    away non-stop?
    
    Well, that is what I thought, too......But, I guess it's not true....
    
    "Silas" is a gray 3 mth old male kitten at the shelter (Re. 1075)
    who has been waiting for a home.  Now, this little guy is a real
    sweetiepie.  If you looked up "purrbug" in the kitty dictionary,
    his picture would be there! (-;  But, he is overlooked by those
    who come to the shelter looking for a kitten, because they are
    put off by his over-friendlyness, and his being *just* a plain
    gray color.     
    What Silas needs is that special sort of "cat person" to enjoy
    his "purrsonality plus".   If you have room in your home and
    heart for "Silas" the love you will get in return will be 10 fold!

4915.3De-clawed Manx needs a home.....BOOVX2::MANDILEI love readin&#039; &amp; ridin&#039;Mon Sep 16 1991 17:4215
    "Amos" - Black & White angora type Manx - neutered, declawed and
    about 4-6 yrs old.  His owner was a 90 yr old woman who is
    moving to FL to live w/family, and was told that the cat is not 
    welcome, period.
    
    Amos is a real mush, very mellow.  He is looking for an indoor
    home (due to being de-clawed, of course).  
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
4915.4Wink's story.....BOOVX2::MANDILEI love readin&#039; &amp; ridin&#039;Mon Sep 16 1991 17:5014
    Wink is a solid black, angora type neutered male.  
    
    Last Halloween (yes, you guessed it....) Wink was caught
    by some not very nice person(s), and spray painted and kicked
    in the face and body.  His injuries have left him missing
    some teeth, and blind in one eye.  He was brought to the shelter
    near death, severely injured, filthy and starving.  Wink was
    taken to the vets for medical care, which had to be stretched
    over a period of time, as due to his poor condition, they were
    afraid to put him under as he might not come out of it.  Wink
    is a friendly, if somewhat boney, approx. 3 yr old male.  His
    age has a lot to do with his recovery, but he still has a way
    to go.  Re-acurring diarrhea is his current health problem, but,
    hopefully, with a little luck.....
