Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005I'm sooo Embarrassed (was Boy I hope this works)
Singh wrote: I am just outside Buffalo, New York. Alexis is housed with foster-mama Marilyn (the same one who fostered our Brandy, so I can vouch for how good she is to her little charges.) She is in Lockport, NY, about 20 miles or so outside Buffalo. The shelter Tenth Chance shows their cats at a Petsmart in Amherst and they've shown Alexis, but people back off when they learn she's FIV. She's a cute kitty, a longhaired tuxie, approximately eight months old and healthy as the proverbial horse. Next to no "viral load," to use a human AIDS term. (Viral load is how much of the virus is actually in the system. Some people have just anibodies and don't seem to go full-blown; others have a near volcanic viral load, they're the ones who are full-blown or about to be.) Alexis is playful and intelligent, and itching to get out of Marilyn's bedroom. If we can set up a relay I'm willing to help. Tenth Chance is meticulous about interviewing potential adopters and will want to speak to anyone putting a bid in for Alexis. I am willing to help with the $70.00 adoption fee if necessary. I can arrange for a "phone appointment" for the interview and see how it can be done. This time I want to do it right. After the fiasco with the person who suggested putting carpet tacks and mousetraps on counters so a cat would learn not to jump on them, I want to help find a true cat lover like you all.

Where is the general location of the cat now? And where are you? Maybe there are enough people in between to get her to you. Annie Oh my goodness, I completely missed this, and I feel awful about it. I would still like to take the FIV kitty if it can be arranged. I'm in Palisade, Colorado. Not sure what all you need to know, but the barnabus email works, or you may email me at my "regular" email Shelby0296 at yahoo dot com. I am so sorry that I didn't see it sooner, I hope you didn't take my silence as non interest. Just freaking Google. Smokie Darling (Annie) - Well, I'll blame Google for me not looking at the the other thread, but it's really my fault. > If we can set up a relay I'm willing to help.

Back before circumstances worked out for me to adopt Harri I was looking into one of the pet airline coordinating companies. They aren't cheap, but if someone can get the kitty to one of the airports they serve they will arrange to get kitty safely to the nearest airport on the other end. I don't have a lot of cash to spare, but would be willing to put some cash towards getting kitty moved to her new forever home. Dan We've had to do a bit of this to get our fosterling Brian safely moved to the UK. Let's see what we can do! Louie and I are willing to put up some of the cost, and Marilyn's told me she can see about waiving the adoption fee. I may have to arrange for the forms to be filled and faxed, and the standard interview to be done by phone. I'm willing to do anything to help this poor little cutie get to her forever-home.

If you will email me at the barnabus address, we will figure something out, okay? Since I'm the "newbie", I'll give my phone number to you (if things get nasty, I'll change my number ;) _). On Google complete addresses are not visible. So, I've clicked the option to send direct to you, hope it goes through,I'll also put this in the group. Smokie Darling (Annie) Hi, Don't give out personal information that can be used to trace you. People have gotten called at work, or had nasty messages left on their cellphone. Do not give out phone numbers to ANYBODY here, even if they seem to be a friend. Some of the people are extremely volatile, and will turn against you if they disagree with you. People who own cats are more trusting, and let outsiders in. Keep all of your efforts community-based..You won't believe some of the nasty stories I've heard and witnessed over time... Be Careful! > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > -- > Message posted via http://www.catkb.com Good advice, but since I'm the one responsible for the "mess up". I hope that Baha gets my message. Smokie Darling (Annie) > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Be Careful! Overall, this is good advice. But when we're talking about regular posters, whose posts we've all read for years, I think it's okay to let your guard down for the sake of homing a kitten. After all, we can tell just by reading over the years who is volatile and who is not. I'd never post that info. on the group itself of course. There have been some awesomly wonderful gestures of kindness take place over the years on this very group. Nothing like that could have happened if nobody had turned loose of a little personal information, to each other.

My news server will not let me post a short notice to a long post without snipping. Although I'm included as one of the contributors to the thread, the editing is a bit misleading as to who posted what. I just want everyone to be clear that I am not the same Annie as Smokie Darling Annie. Unfortunately, I am not in any position to take the cat, and I'm in Texas, so not able to participate in the transport of the cat. However, I'm sure that this group would be able to figure out a way, perhaps a relay of sorts, to move the cat from Singh in N.Y. to Smokie Darling Annie in Colorado. Best wishes to all involved. My signature will continue to be Annie. My identity will continue to be Annie Wxill.
