Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2005Cats need a home!
So, the woman I'm buying a house from can't keep her 2 cats. Their names are Gut & Gul.... The Danish version of Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum.... Or so she tells me. Both female, 6 yrs old, fixed, all shots up to date. They are longhaired Tuxedo Tabbies. They are SOOOO freindly & social it shocked me! I'm Willing to drive these beauties anywhere within 2 days of Kamloops, BC. I'd considewr taking them myself... but .... I have 2 & My DW has 1 and a teenager. I don't think we can handle a 5 cat house (small house, I might add) & stay sane. Of course (*SIGH*) I won't let them go to the pound & I'm doing all I can to find them a home in the village that they live in.... but.....

I will keep you posted in anything comes up though. Is there any way they might be placed in the US? -L. > So, the woman I'm buying a house from can't keep her 2 cats. > Their names are Gut & Gul....

Or the cost of crossing the border... Any thoughts? Mathew, Chablis & Muscat There's no quarantine or duty for cats passing through the border. You just need to have them cased, have a current rabies certificate, and a recent vet bill of health. Details here: http://www.foreignborn.com/visas_imm/entering_us/2bringyourpet.htm In that case, Washington State, Idaho & Northern Oregon qualify..... Thank you. Any Pacific Northwest takers?

Good intentions are nice, but you take things beyond the limits of normalcy and practicality! You just have to realize and accept the fact that you can't save them all. The sooner you understand this, the better it will be for your mental state in the long run. And then maybe we won't be watching you on TV standing there in your bathrobe at 2:30 in the afternoon, sobbing about your 'poor babies', while your 500+ malnourished Katz are being rounded up by the animal police.

This guy is walking down a beach at low tide, and he sees a stranger coming from the other direction, picking up starfish and throwing them into the water as he makes his way along. "What ho, stranger!" says the guy. "Why are you throwing these starfish into the ocean?" "Well, son, I wish to save them from the blistering sun, which shall be upon them anon." "That's ridiculous!" cried the man. "Starfish are intertidal creatures, meant to be exposed a low tide. What gives here, anyway?" The stranger paused for a moment. "Ok, I'll confess," he said finally. "I am a developer, and I own this stretch of waterfront. The Dept. of Wildlife is coming this afternoon and these particular starfish are an endangered species." The moral of the story, of course, is that you can't get the goddamn government off your back. It really doesn't matter if you're a rich developer or a crazy cat lady. Charlie > >IOW...

Who protects your kats from you if you're a nut-case like our good-deed-dooer here..?? Katz can't protect themselves..... IBen > Then....

Hello, Kandace... you immoral liberal vermin swine. IBen Yup, I'm a nutcase allright.... Truly MAD to think I might be able to find 2 cats a home & donate some time and effort to make it happen. What was I thinking? Mathew >Yup, I'm a nutcase allright.... Truly MAD to think I might be able to >find 2 cats a home & donate some time and effort to make it happen. > >What was I thinking? Nah, you're doing the right thing. Thye deserve to be moved form their current home gracefully, if they must be. There's no point taking them to the shelter. You can hang on to them for a short while, since you do know cats. One possibilty is cat breeders, yes those who bring up pedigreed cats. They do their best for ALL cats and have a network of people who care for the critters. I mean BREEDERS, not kittenmills! Good Luck.. <g> . Steve .. >Mathew |
