Hi All,

If you get binary newsgroups, follow the subject line's advice and
drop in to see the pictures and read the stories of Sigourney and
Furocious, and also that of Crash.  The pictures and stories are just
wonderful, and naturally I extended an invitation to come and join us.

According to Cleo, Sigourney and Furocious are still looking for their
one-true-home.  If you ask me, I think the chances are good that they
have found it, even though Cleo claims to only be fostering them.

Regards and Purrs,
O J

I just ran across a message posted here by OJ saying: "According to
Cleo, Sigourney and Furocious are still looking for their
one-true-home. If you ask me, I think the chances are good that they
have found it, even though Cleo claims to only be fostering them."

People often say to me, "Oh, you'll keep this one because you obviously
love him a lot".
This is true. I love them all. I really love them all. That is why I
try so hard to find them all homes of their own.

My friends suffer through my sadness every time I find a home for a cat
I have rescued. But it is important for people to understand this: it is
my sadness. My sadness counts little. The objective here is to find a
true and fated home for the rescued cat. Two points should be
obvious... first, if you want to rescue cats and try to find homes for
them and only kept the cute ones... you'd have a lot of cats. Second,
if you have a lot of cats you intend to keep you quickly become
overwhelmed and useless to the cats you are trying to help.

I take lots of pictures, I write down some of their stories, I make
posters, I ask lots of people if they would like to adopt a cat, I even
take kittens into banks, and I email all who will tolerate my endless
pictures of rescued cats and kittens. I sometimes have a rescued cat
for over a year before they get their own home. Much, it seems, is just
fate. I do recognize that some rescues are more difficult to find homes
for than others... but you just never know.

I am a school teacher. About 10 years ago my boss at the district level
decided I needed to adopt a cat. My youngest son was leaving for college
and, I guess, I was showing signs of the empty nest syndrome. The day
she took me around to several shelters I adopted 2 kittens, Simba and
Cleo.

The very next year I noticed a kitten hanging around school. She was a
few weeks old and very skinny. I picked her up, fed her, took her to
the vet, and found a home for her. I have now rescued and found homes
for over 100 cats and kittens. Fifty of the rescues have come from the
school I teach at and the others have come from local veterinarians and
from a few people I know.

I never charge a fee and I do not accept donations. I'm not suggesting
that one way or set of rules is better than another way I'm just saying
this is how it works for me.

Most of all I wanted to say that I encourage people to get involved but
remember to keep the goal clearly fixed. A good heart is not enough. The
rescued cats and kittens deserve their very own true and fated homes.

Thanks for all the supportive comments but I have to tell you all a
secrete... rescuing cats and kittens and finding them homes is really a
selfish deed... no matter what my day has been like, when I come home
they always make me smile. That is saying a lot!

My hat is off to you, Cleo.  I admire you and others like you who foster
cats, those who foster barekittens and any others who are selflessness
enough to care for, love, and give up their babies, whether two-footed or
four.

Do you accidentally keep sending this over or is your server propagating it
repeatedly? You might not know acually I guess. I have been seeing a lot of

Looking at the time stamp, I'd say the problem is with the server.

Yeah. It's just bizarre! I've never seen it happen so often before. but we
finally got a new one!

You are a wonderful person! I don't think I'd be able to do what you are
doing. Thank you so much for doing it.
Lots of best wishes,

I just ran across a message posted here by OJ saying: "According to
Cleo, Sigourney and Furocious are still looking for their
one-true-home. If you ask me, I think the chances are good that they
have found it, even though Cleo claims to only be fostering them."

People often say to me, "Oh, you'll keep this one because you obviously
love him a lot".
This is true. I love them all. I really love them all. That is why I
try so hard to find them all homes of their own.

My friends suffer through my sadness every time I find a home for a cat
I have rescued. But it is important for people to understand this: it is
my sadness. My sadness counts little. The objective here is to find a
true and fated home for the rescued cat. Two points should be
obvious... first, if you want to rescue cats and try to find homes for
them and only kept the cute ones... you'd have a lot of cats. Second,
if you have a lot of cats you intend to keep you quickly become
overwhelmed and useless to the cats you are trying to help.

I take lots of pictures, I write down some of their stories, I make
posters, I ask lots of people if they would like to adopt a cat, I even
take kittens into banks, and I email all who will tolerate my endless
pictures of rescued cats and kittens. I sometimes have a rescued cat
for over a year before they get their own home. Much, it seems, is just
fate. I do recognize that some rescues are more difficult to find homes
for than others... but you just never know.

I am a school teacher. About 10 years ago my boss at the district level
decided I needed to adopt a cat. My youngest son was leaving for college
and, I guess, I was showing signs of the empty nest syndrome. The day
she took me around to several shelters I adopted 2 kittens, Simba and
Cleo.

The very next year I noticed a kitten hanging around school. She was a
few weeks old and very skinny. I picked her up, fed her, took her to
the vet, and found a home for her. I have now rescued and found homes
for over 100 cats and kittens. Fifty of the rescues have come from the
school I teach at and the others have come from local veterinarians and
from a few people I know.

I never charge a fee and I do not accept donations. I'm not suggesting
that one way or set of rules is better than another way I'm just saying
this is how it works for me.

Most of all I wanted to say that I encourage people to get involved but
remember to keep the goal clearly fixed. A good heart is not enough. The
rescued cats and kittens deserve their very own true and fated homes.
