Free Kitty

[kooltex]

Some one dumped this little grey tabby female on our property. She is approx. 12-14 weeks. I cannot afford to have another kitty spade, and shots, and what not. So she is free to a good home. Very sweet, as you can see. My baby carries her around all over the place and she does not protest. Please give her a good home. I do not want to have to take her to the animal shelter, but I cannot have an un-fixed female kitty running around, there will 10x as many kitties come summer.

I wish you were closer, I would take her!

An alternative solution, if no one adopts her, is to make her an indoor only cat until she can be spayed and get her shots. Not an ideal situation, since a cat in heat can be really annoying, but just a possibility.

We have organizations in our area that will spay and give shots at no charge for dumps, especially if means they will have a home.

I wish they had them in my area. I've spent some decent money on stray animals. I have a kitten now that I can't find a home for. She was a stray and I can't afford shots etc. right now. They should have the organizations in more places, I bet more people would take in the homeless animals.

We tried the indoor kitty thing, they do not understand what a litter box is. Pee and poop everywhere and especially couldn't handle the pee on the babies toys and blankets. Can't do the inside thing, kitty comes in only when she sneaks in an open door, my kiddo plays with her for a lil while then out she goes.

You might also try posting flyers at really good veterinary offices in the hopes of attracting a sincere, committed person to give her a forever home, preferably someone the vet's office knows. Having done a lot of adoptions, I found that I had to screen very thoroughly to avoid placing an innocent life in some wacko's hands. The wacko's often seem sane at first encounter - they know how to play the game.

As to the litter box avoidance, your flyer should probably say that there are litter box challenges at the moment. Animal behaviorist Warren Eckstein (see thepetshow.com) provides guidance on how to get kitty to faithfully use a litter box (all my rescues have readily used litter boxes so kitties are usually pretty good about this). He can be reached for free on air questions when on WOR Radio Saturday afternoons. If the litter box situation is not resolved, the kitty may be best suited for a warm comfy barn life with all other perks (food, water, vet care...), spayed of course. Friends of Animals offers reduced cost spay/neuter certificates.

Sending good wishes for a wonderful home for her.
