If your kitties wouldn't mind revving up for another purr request: we (2 humans and 3 kitties) have been trying desperately to move out of our cramped little mobile home into a real house for a few months now. We've found a lot of affordable houses in awful neighborhoods, and a lot of really nice places in neighborhoods we can't come close to affording.
We got a call from a realtor today telling us we were approved for a rental application on a house in Highland (a pretty decent area). Only thing is, neither of humans remember applying to rent a house in Highland! Unless one of the furgirls applied without telling us, we're a bit confused.
I'll be calling the realtor as soon as I get home to get the whole story. Please send us a few purrs that we'll actually find a decent place and be able to move - my beautiful kitty girls need more room!

-- HIGHLAND -- DYLAN - Needs a permanent indoor home. Dylan is a playful 3- to 4-year-old, neutered orange tabby. He will thrive in a home where he has room to climb and leap and where he will be given plenty of attention and playtime. Contact cmtowle@shaw.ca. 7/14 Dylan, eh, Monica?Dan, how do you feel about trusting Monica now to keep yoursecret? The sad thing is, you could have just told us. It wasyour choice to lie. Now Monica is using the fact that you didto flaunt her "victory." It is not a victory for Conan/"Dylan,"who is still in a cage around the corner from your house. Youknow that Greg in San Diego was perfect for him. You also knew that he was not going to Charlie Wilkes. What was the point inlying to us? Dan Mahoney d...@wolf.com

tracyrose@gmail.com - 11 Jul 2005 07:13 GMT This is getting absurd. People who are living in cramped mobile homes with three+ cats (In private e-mail, the cat count per Dan was *six* cats, but whatever) are denying adoptions based on the square footage of one cat to a one bedroom condominium? Are we in the twilight zone?
Dan, do the right thing. Enough is enough. You have the e-mail address of the San Diego adopter. Get in touch with him, talk to him on the phone and if he satisfies you that he will love and care for the cat and not abandon him, get in your truck and drive the cat down. You *know* that it's not about square footage, it's about loyalty, love and care.
Stop punishing the cat and give him a home and a person of his own.

Are we in the twilight zone? I was confused at first, too, since I thought Dan had 6 cats also but look at the date of Dan's post, it's from 2002, it was just posted so we would know Dan lives in Highland, wherever the hell that is. He got more square footage and 3 more cats in the last 3 years. I bet he doesn't have much more than 1,500 sq. ft., though. Would Moncia adopt a cat to Dan?

At least we have our proof now.
Dan will have to answer for this if he wishes to be known as an honest person who genuinely cares about cats.

It is not a matter of opinion. But thank you for sharing yours.
I am trying to get a sad little cat out of a cage. If you can help I hope you will. Ask Dan to take him to his San Diego home.

If there was a way to still get him, I would do it. For awhile, I thought he had gone into a shelter, and Monica was just pretending to have the power. So, I tried to find what shelter he was at and ask for adoption information. But no luck on that. And now we see the newspaper ad with her email address, so clearly we can't get him without going through her. If there was a way, I would do it.

It was actually Tracyrose who posted (some time ago) that she had placed the ad with Petfinder. At that time, she included Dan's contact information, although she admitted that she did not have his permission. That isn't proof of Dan's involvement or of where Conan is.

If anyone wants to respond to the cross-posted rubbish, please consider *not* having the cross-posted rubbish showing in your own post. Even though you are not cross-posting yourself, by having the stuff showing in your reply, it just perpetuates the bad stuff.

Conan WILL get a home. And apparently a really, really GOOD home. He is in no danger of being euthanized and since that was the original concern all the rest is just self centered B.S. as far as I can tell. Had to get that off my chest. Done now.
Rhonda - 12 Jul 2005 01:20 GMT Karen,
It's just human emotion. When someone is part of a team to save a cat then decides at the last minute give the cat to another group (but tells the original team that someone else got to the shelter first...), it hurts. We put a lot of hours of work into it and feel we deserve an explanation. He has not responded to any respectful inquiries, and emotion has increased since then.
For me, I just want honesty. If he changed his mind, just tell us. It's wonderful to be good to cats, but you have to be good to people, too.
Other than that, I'm glad Conan is not in danger of euthanasia, and am concerned 3 homes were turned down in the first week. I have my fingers crossed for that cat.

What do you say should be done for that one, who let's the cat rot in confinement, and repeatedly turns down valid homes. I'd say there is a petty abuse of power. Crap! Help us out! Dan went backwards in the plan, Charlie was not the only prospect, (that's old news)
