Hi guys - Speaking of stray cats ... found one myself today. Her timing was impeccable - 2 friends and I had just finished planning a humane ed class for the UCAL Animal Appreciation Arts Camp about animal overpopulation and pet needs, and we were leaving via the back vet school exit when, out pops this little missy from under a dumpster, about to run into rush hour traffic when my friend dove for her and covered her in a sweatshirt. Now she is safe and sound with me (and eating up a storm) but I really need to find her a home since I have another adult female stray I am trying to re-home, two resident older cats, and technically we are not supposed to have any pets. And my fiance is beginning to think I am a budding cat hoarder!!
So ... here is our girl's information, please email me if you might have interest, she is so adorable and cautious but sweet: Calico (i.e. female, mainly white base color with orange and black large patches of fur), about 3 mos old, healthy for a lone kitten on the streets (no upper respiratory, normal eyes and vision, normal stools) just treated her for fleas, ticks and worms. I can probably get her spayed soon too, at PACCA. Her personality - she cautiously watched me as I slowly put my fingers on her head and chin to pet her and then she fell asleep with her head on my palm, and started purring. So cautious but needs some TLC I think. She meows when left alone but she calms right down when you talk gaga to her, and then falls back asleep. I think all strays must sleep with one eye open always to protect themselves. I have her staying in a cat carrier in our bedroom right now (live in a 1BR and need to keep the other jealous adult cats away from her at all costs) but would love more space for her. Anyone interested in adopting or fostering this cute girl? Or have friends interested? If so *** please *** email me back!!! I am a bit desperate to find a good home for her as I am leaving town next week for a few days!! Thanks!! -- Bonnie L.
