Hi everyone,
I know I haven''t posted in a long time, but I know how wonderful this forum is for working magic, and also as a lurker I''ve seen members come together to brainstorm with SDL about the beautiful kitty she recently "found."
I found and now need to find a home--any home, a foster home, a temp home, a forever home, whatever homes are available as soon as possible!!-- for a small, female, black and white cat, probably an older kitten. My guess would be about 8 months.. but I know nothing about cats. I have been looking for her previous owners, if there were any, with no luck so far. She came meowing to our door late last night looking pretty scraggly and skinny. Once we fed her there was no going back, but she was *famished*, so I am sure we did the right thing. She doesn''t have any bugs that I know of, but I don''t believe she is spayed. I think she is in heat right now, actually, because she is being quite vocal, and she is definitely not hungry/thirsty or injured in any obvious way!
I am in a tough situation because I CANNOT allow her into the house; it''s not my house and everyone who lives here is allergic. My stepdad hates cats on top of that and it''s really rough stomaching his reaction to her hanging around here, even in the yard. The local animal shelter [no-kill!] is full, but I have an appointment with them for intake on July 6th, which is obviously awhile from now. Until then my options are finding a foster home for her, finding someone else to take her permanently, or letting her hang out in my yard despite my stepfather consistently advocating getting her euthanized and being angry that she is around. I can potentially lock her in the shed at night [with blankets, a box, and water], but I feel guilty doing so because it''s obviously unpleasant for her. The alternative is an outdoor rural environment with predators and potentially unfixed male cats to impregnate her. Of those last two options--the shed or the yard at large--which do you think would be more beneficial/humane?
I just can''t bear the thought of anything happening to her. She''s so gorgeous, sweet, and loves to be pet and cuddled [okay, so part of that might be that she is in heat, but I promise she is really great!
]. Last night she slept on my lap [outside on a lawn chair...]. She comes when called [we''ve been calling her "Lucy"] and follows people around sort of like a dog. She''s just adorable. Do you have any ideas about what I could do? Does anyone live close to here? Know anyone who does who might want a gorgeous cat? Please help! I will be so grateful for any responses. I have been posting on the ''net, facebook, etc. hoping to find someone to give her a great home!
