Actually joined this newsgroup for the subject matter ---- A Home for Hobo?
Who you say? Hobo the valiant homeless abandoned Tommy that I've been
feeding ... for yrs. Built him a deluxe well insulated dog house -- for Hobo
the Cat. Am moving soon and MUST relocate Hobo. He's 4yrs. old all black a
brave boy though  rejected by my 3 indoor 7 yr. old females (spayed at 6
mnths old & territorial). I've been trying for yrs. to find a home for Hobo.
He's a talker who chirps away at feeding time. He loves to sit on my lap and
be groomed -- so he can be reformed and become a house/farm cat. He's
managed to stay alive in the mean streets for 4 yrs. now and deserves a
home, really he just needs to be fed and provided with a home/farm. I will
pay to have him neutered... and deliver him with his dog house to the right
person in south-central-east Ontario, Canada. He's lovable protective & the
sweetest little buuger with the strongest will to live and be happy. Please
help find a home for HOBO? Any help appreciated!!

We are sending purrs from the lower 50 states that a loving home will
be provided Hobo.

You've been feeding this cat for 4 years and still haven't had him neutered?
And how many kittens has he fathered in that time?  That's not a responsible
way to manage a feral cat, much less a cat that allows you to groom him and
be a lap cat..  I'm assuming you didn't give him any shots either, right?
It's a wonder this cat IS still around.

In fact, not being neutered may be the reason your girls rejected him so
quickly.  All cats are territorial to a certain degree, but especially when
it comes to an unneutered tom.  Have him fixed and bring him indoors to live
and move with him.  It's the right thing to do.  It is most unlikely that
you are going to find this animal a home except from someone who'll not care
enough to really take care of him or from someone who wants to use him for
bait for dog fighting or lab research.  Suck it up and really become
responsible.  Many of us live in multi cat households where everyone doesn't
get along.  It can be managed just fine.

Can I bring every feral & abandoned cat I've fed for 12 yrs. into the home?
I've reunited lost cats & owners, found homes/farms for many homeless cats &
have made it possible for other homeless cats to LIVE! I've de-wormed,
hairball, groomed, fed & begged the local SPCA & Pounds to help rescue
injured cats to no avail. They say when you feed them you own them - so they
do nothing - and I do! I didn't get HOBO fixed because a sad fact regarding
'homeless cats' - only the fittest survive in the 'law of the jungle'.
Perhaps he fathered kittens - but with whom? To begin cats by bi-law can't
wander outdoors, so obviously no "responsible" cat owner would let a she cat
wonder about ---- and not fixed/spayed? ---- come now a "responsible" person
would not allow that. So perhaps a desolate abandoned she cat was tossed
outside to die by her irresponsible cat owners (killers)-- then my valiant
cat saving boy Hobo leads her to food & perhaps feel love in their lives. I
have done everything possible for the best of cats & those who do nothing
yet complain & accuse. I had 4 cats & lost one who was poisoned after
reporting a cat-killing couple & they got off the hook again!!! But I've had
my three sister cats, since birth and almost 8. I rescued them too along
with their poisoned cousin from a gruesome cat breeding farm. But all the
poor rescued cats were just killed and out of 53 cats the only live ones are
the ones I took (4 babies) and the rest they claimed were feral or diseased
or dangerous so the Town killed them anyway in the cat killing Shelter. And
all the "responsible" Town people paid for their deaths with their tax
dollars. How noble the responsible ones are as they proudly & ignorantly
look the other way. But what you don't know is I've been grossly ill for
over 5 yrs. when nearly killed as an accident victim. And very poor as a
disabled way below poverty line lady & go without to care for my furry
friends. Now facing major surgery I go to live with Mom who believes animals
belong on farms not in the house. But since its me & my girls or not at all
she's graciously agreed but to Hobo she says no way & I can't dissuade her.
Also it was not even my choice or I would have taken HOBO inside to start
(instead of a dog house & 3 meals a day & love) BUT I don't live alone you
see and was prevented as I needed help with my 4 now 3 cats.    ANYWAY a
long story to end ---- I still need a Hero to Responsibly care for my little
Superman - Hobo the lovable cat!!! P.S. I offered all along to pay the Vet
... if only a kind cat person will give him a good HOME and rehabilitate
him.

Feeding homeless animals is NOT rescuing them unless you prevent them from
becoming ill by giving them vaccines and you spay or neuter them to prevent
them from adding to the number that need to be rescued.  Feeding them
without that goal in mind just  ADDS to the homeless pet population.  It's a
disservice to the animals. Managing any feral colony involves getting the
animals spayed or neutered.  There are many programs out there to help you
with this. OUrs charges $30 to anyone who has a cat that needs to be fixed.
For anyone on government assistance, the fee is $10. SHots are only another
$15.  How cheap do you want it to be before you'll spend the money?  I
myself manage a feral colony with trap, neuter, shots, and release. I'm not
made of money either.  I've had 3 surgeries in 4 months time here recently
and you don't even want to know how much my medical bills are. But,  I am
not adding to the surplus pet population if I can help it.  Surplus cats die
in all kinds of horrible ways, including humane euthanasia at a shelter
because they are so overcrowded with the offspring of unneutered and
unspayed cats.  It ALWAYS takes two to produce kittens, and it's just as
irresponsible to allow a tom to roam unaltered as it is a queen.

But, this cat was NOT feral, just homeless.  Any local shelter would be
willing to help rehome a loving lap cat found roaming outside.  Ours does it
all the time.  You had 4 years to actually help this cat, and all you did
was make him dependent on your handouts and now you want someone else to
assume the responsibility.  Feeding this animal for that length of time IS a
contract with him.  Follow through on it, or take him to a shelter where he
has a chance at adoption, or at least will be humanely euthanized.  Being
hit by a car as he searches for his next source of handouts is not humane.
Dying of feline aids or leukemia that he caught because he was unaltered and
fought with other tomcats is not humane.  Complete your commitment to this
boy.  Fix him and take him with you.

It's threads like this that really bother me.  I wish people would get off
their high horse!  MMhsb was trying to do good by feeding Hobo.  Simple as
that.  She can't stand to see a poor thing starve.  Just because you feed
something does NOT mean that you own it and are solely responsible for it.
The fact that she paid for food for this poor cat for years says enough.
The thing was LUCKY.

We have feral cat colonies all over this island.  There are people assigned
to each colony who take their own hard earned money and feed and water these
colonies daily.  The thought process is at least if they're fed they might
be able to fight off diseases and also they won't be such a nuisance.  Who
wants to see some skinny cat wandering around whining, with a terrible upper
respiratory infection, in search of food in your backyard?

There is a trapping program also.  If the colonly caregiver can trap a cat,
it's taken to a participating vet who will tattoo, give shots, and fix the
animal.  It is then released back into it's colony.

We have over 80,000 feral cats on this island.  We're doing the best we can.
Mmhsb is doing the best that she can.

I work with a guy who's wife has her own shelter and they do these
same sort of things.   If one of us at works, finds a ferel or a
colony of them, we'll do what we can to try to care for them.

Recently we had this black cat show up at work for a few days.   She
seemed friendly, but shy.   We fed her for a few days then we were
able to trap her with the intent that if she was ferel we would get
her up to dat with vet care and get her fixed, then release her again
at the office and if she chose to stay yere, we'd continue to feed
her.

Turns out she wasn't a ferel, but was actually tame.   Either dumped
out here or got lost from one of the homes in the local area.  (note,
this is also how I got my dog, Chloe, last year).    So, my coworkers
wife took in the cat, got her up to date w/ vet stuff, spayed and they
are looking to rehome her.   She's a very sweet and wonderful cat.

Oh, but the sad thing is, she has feline aids.   :-(    But they do
know of a group that will take her in and care for her, so she will be
cared for.

Thanks Kilikini - your points are well made & much appreciated. Sunflower
obviously does not live in Canada. I will ck. the net AGAIN for the services
he says are available but as to prev. research I found there are many US
programs to spay/neuter... free or cheap. In Ontario it runs $225.00+ for
shots & spay/neuter. Yes I would gladly pay if I had a home for Hobo. Not
that I have the $ but I'd get it. The problem is my community has ZERO
tolerance for wandering cats, we have no feral communities, we don't have
programs in place... If any of you live in small towns & farming communities
in Canada - you'd know the only services are the Shelters, which have a 3-5
day holding policy -- then it's death to all cats. I would never take Hobo
or any cat to the Shelter. Adoption there? They make no effort - the
shelters are paid to kill not to save. That's why I've fed wandering &
homeless cats & personally (newspaper adds) returned lost cats --- but for
my own feeding stations --- these cats would likely be dead of horrible
starvation & freezing through the frigid winters here. I stand behind
FEEDING all cats in need, providing makeshift shelters out of the snow &
COLD and trying to give then homes. Unfortunately as Kilikni points out & I
say we can't provide a home for every cat we feed, but for sure food to
hungry homeless animals gives them a life whereas death is the alternative.
I did rescue Hobo who was a tiny half starved dejected tossed out cat who
came to my door smelling other cats & food. I went all around to find his
owner & to get him adopted to no avail! No one would help! The local shelter
dares not trap him or lay any traps in my area as I've already had them
investigated ($ hungry animal killing independent operation) the result ----
Town changed bi-law, cats get 5 days instead of 3 days of life!!! (Counting
the day of capture & death) What a pitiful excuse -- Cat/Dog Rescue??? I
would NEVER leave Hobo behind to starve & die, that's why I seek a good Home
for Hobo. I can only have so many housecats & the 3 I have is 3 more than my
Mom wants but because they are such good girls & my pets of almost 8 yrs.
Mom is allowing them in her home. Do you know how hard it is to get someone
to allow animals in their home when they're anti-animals-in-the-house? I
know there are very few homeless cats here as the Town's mission has been to
eradicate them --- as if they're hurting us in some way. So I can't see
where these fertile cats would be for Hobo to impregnate & add to the
problem. I've had to pick the least of evils here & conclude that it's cruel
to neuter Hobo without a home as wandering Tommies would have a big
advantage & try & take his turf. Hobo is a kind cat & has led other homeless
cats to FOOD that I provide. A lovely spayed declawed female was tossed out
by ex-"responsible" owners. One day I found her cowering behind Hobo waiting
for food. I fed her for mnths. and no one would admit she was their cat
(obviously she was someone's pet). So I found her a home at Grandpa's camp
with 2 other fixed & declawed cats he provides shelter & food for. All 3
cats at his camp have ears frozen off & other damage from almost freezing &
starving. He goes to his camp everyday feeds the animals & puts on the wood
stove fire to heat the camp for the day. He's a 75 yr. old Hero. He refuses
more cats now due to age & responsibility for these rescued 3 cats. Bit he
loves them & also feeds the Deer & Wild Turkeys. Those who understands cats
know that as easy as it sounds 'spay/neuter' many homeless cats will not
survive unattended if  'fixed' as the drive to fight for life is weakened &
they are unable to fend for themselves & since they have no Hero to rescue
them they'll die a pitiful death. Don't discourage people to FEED these
homeless cats because first they NEED to be fed. Do you know how many Cruel
people have shewed/chased off hungry desperate cats rather than feed them???
Tell them off!!! HOW CAN ONE SLEEP AT NIGHT, yet it bothers them not to
chase off a lone starving cat! Truly my heart breaks for their predicament
as the predicament we've put our world animals into. When you research what
we're doing to wild/domestic/pets it's so sickening. Perhaps PEOPLE should
learn Mercy or be treated as the animals are. Watch Animal Detectives on
Animal Planet if you have the stomach for it - do something, join Animal
Activist Organizations & truly be a Hero.  P.S. Though I leave this small
community soon & return to the big city TO, I will never give up the fight
to change the Laws & Bi-Laws that govern shelters in rural communities (City
too but more humane bi-laws in lrge cities) not by much. These Laws have to
be changed ---- Everyone should find their community bi-laws for shelters &
so called strays & get them changed. Go to local shelters and see the cats &
dogs in one room in distress in cages & slated for death (see if you'd take
an animal there). Otherwise challenge the Mayor or call in the Fed's to
investigate your shelter complaints. I STILL NEED A LOVING PERSON WHO WILL
GIVE HOBO THE HOME HE DESERVES.

Also, Hobo is not a lap cat by no means. He at his choice will sit on my lap
& allow me to cautiously pet/groom him. He will not be picked up/carried...
He was abandoned age app. 5-6 months old, I first saw the smart boy clinging
to an icebank on a partioned off part of my backyard eating the peanuts
(unsalted & shelled) that I throw into fenced area for birds & squirrels.
Apparently that kept him alive - then I began with cat food, shelter, search
for owner... He's not beyond rehabilitation & appears he can become a "lap
cat" with patience & kindness.
A Memorable Good Friday & Easter to All!

hobo should be caught in a squirrel trap, dunked in a barrel of boiling wax
and next year at halloween you have the perfect ornament it will stink like
death by then for good effect.

This was posted in another group & I thought it might help---I'm sorry
you're being criticized by others for your efforts--you deserve better than
that...  Hobo sounds very adoptable...  maybe you could go to that website
and also e-mail the person listed---Good luck to you & Hobo
=====================================================
Hi all,

I realize I don't usually post to this particular list, so forgive me
if I come off like I'm spamming.  I honestly don't mean to be, I just
don't have as much time to post in newsgroups as I used to.  I lurk
here, but don't get a chance to post often.  (There was a time when
half my entire day would be eaten up by the usenet, so I have forced
myself to cut back!  LOL)  (Oh, and any of you on rec.pets or
rec.pets.dogs  will notice that this is a cross-post.  Just covering
all the bases! :))

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know of a new canadian website
for animal adoption.  The url is http://www.adoptananimal.ca and the
site lets you search from about 900 shelters, rescues and pounds.  You
can search by type of animal, breed, and province or zip code.

(I will confess that I had a hand in the development of this site, so
I'm especially excited about it.. hehe)

If you guys have any ideas or suggestions, we would love to hear them.

We're trying to make this the best possible resource for everyone in
Canada.  Any ideas/suggestions/comments can be emailed to
agianotto@adoptananimal.ca

I hope to hear from some of you!

Thanks!
Alison

Yea very nice service and site Chris, thanks! Noticed that absent from the
list/resources are the independent Rural Shelters, like the one in my
community and in many rural/remote communities. That is sad, like I said
many independent shelters are only under Municipal Bi-Laws & the Owners are
paid based on number of animals put-down/killed through municipal tax
revenues. These are the one's you don't see on the site or anywhere trying
to adopt. Also I did contact several wonderful animal rescue...
organizations ---- all overburdened looking to adopt and not for animals
needing adoption --- not a viable option there for Hobo. I need a farm/home
within 100 miles of Mississauga/Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Will pay all
expenses... deliver him... I'm offering a Free Adoption on Condition I am
convinced he will be cared for (food, water, shelter, attention,  and
hopefully another cat/s companion). I will take him to my Vet and have
shots, ck-up, fixed... Even a pro-cat farm  with barn is good, he's an ace
hunter too. Or with some patience he would make a loyal loving mature house
cat. Anyone?

Hi kilikini, I found a nice home for Hobo with a very kind christian
couple down the road from me. Before they would take him they said he
had to be baptized and neutered first. So we held him underwater for a
few minutes, said a few words, then we neutered him with a 12 Gauge at
point blank range. He has no back legs now but if he dies at least he
won't go to hell and be a hellcat. Satan does bad things to cats I
think. Maria

Hello, since you two have been so helpful in A Home for Hobo? I'd like to
say thanks for your concern! It's not the dream home I would have wanted for
my only 'boy' Hobo --- but it will do. My long time neighbor has helped,
moved Hobo's house onto his property. We built a platform against his house
wall, set Hobo's deluxe 'dog house' on it and added a 'lean-to' roof over
the platform. The platform floor covered in carpet to lounge, with a feeding
area. He'll be given breakfast & supper each day, bought 3-4 months food &
will visit by then. My neighbor loves cats/dogs/animals & knows how much
Hobo means to me. I'm moving about 5 hr. drive end of month., plan to visit
Hobo & neighbor every 3 months. I trust my soon to be ex-neighbor as he's
'Grandpa' the cat saving hero I was posting about. Hobo has adjusted to his
improved home next door. Oh, the look on his face when he came for super and
no house on my step! Lured him across the driveway with Salmon (his
favorite) and he was soon eating & chirping away, so happy his house was
just next door. Imagine the horror of a cat returning home to find he's been
left behind!?! I'll be leaving a piece of my heart with Hobo the lovable
one. I miss him already...I'll still be looking for loving parents near
Toronto for Hobo so he can come inside and be a lap cat as he'll be 5 the
Sept. & I could see him more often too! Thanks!   Mari, & hope your cat is

Mari,

I'm so happy for Hobo.  Congratulations!  At least you know he will be safe.

Snipped..

How far from Toronto are you looking at?  I'm in Owen Sound right now and
we're hopeing to rent a house soon, so that we'll be able to have more than
2 cats living with us.  We maybe able to take Hobo off your hands depending
on what we get for a house.  Our apartment only allows us to have two pets
that aren't in a tank or cage meaning cats or dogs.   We can have a tank of
fish currently also.

P.S. regarding the troll comments re; Baptism! Thanks, but Hobo was baptized
yrs. ago! If you had watched Jack Van Impe last night you'd have seen the
offer of the week! Impe's book " Our Pets In Heaven"!! Yea and it outsold
all of his previous publications ---- of course I ordered the book, afterall
I want to be sure Hobo & my 3 she-cats go to Heaven!!! Funny but true. You
see God has a plan -- saving all animals!! Animals abound in Heaven, trolls
don't! If you get lucky troll you'll die be re-born a Cat and then get into
Heaven, good luck!!!!!    Mari, not from Yahoo.

Thanks allot Kili! Chris too!  WOW TINA - Owen Sound is a great place &
close enough to Toronto. I was hoping that here I could find a special
person for Hobo, one that understands cats! I'd love to get him 'fixed'
(he's been baptized!) and deliver him to a Home and a Family of his own. I
hope you find a house Tina -- did you try an internet search? I used to go
up to your area from TO during summer vacations. Nice place. Thanks so much
Tina, ask me & I'll tell you more about Hobo. He's adorable, I call him
Superman because no matter where he is he comes running to the rescue
whenever a wandering Tommie approaches my fenced yard & my 3 girls start
screaming. He's kept all Tomes away from the girls, rolls & purrs & gives
them lovey eyes (for yrs.) yet not knowing the 'girls' are
(sterile/frigid/fixed)! I know at 5 yrs. old this Sept. he'll be too old to
handle the rough and competitive outdoor life & deserves much better.

I can try we're not sure about the house yet.  But if we do get one I'll let
you know for sure.  A third cat might be nice.  My husband might not like it
but it doesn't hurt to say that he ohh just wandered and wanted to stay
hehe.  I don' t know.. Owen Sound is kinda small.  I'm orgionally from Sault
Ste Marie.  That's where our cats are from.  I have a good job I like and my
husband has a good job he likes but it looks like St. Catherine's might be
our next stop.  He's gonna apply for a training manager position.  I hope
that's okay for you.

Keep in touch then & good luck with re-locating, if you do. It's been hard
to get Hobo used to his house next door. He sits on the step & tries to get
his food. I can't pick him so coax him over, but he's leery. His plate ends
up empty next door so he must be there at night. Do I ever feel guilty.

Hobo is now using his new house, just gave him lunch and he's O.K., took 3-4
days but he's adjusted now.
