Cat Adoption Suggestions?

lilyelgato · 01-14-2015, 03:21 PM

Thank you all for these great suggestions! I've got a few pics that I'll post here and on FB. That's terrible that people will feed free cats to snakes. I think I'll skip Craigslist for the time being.

The grandfather is a huge cat lover (obviously) and donated to just about every cat cause out there, so we're definitely going to make sure their future is a bright one. We've even thought about having a fundraiser event for a legit feral and homeless cat foundation instead of a memorial service when he leaves for the Great Beyond. I'll be sure to invite you all here.

A friend of mine that lives in Dracut Mass. told me the Cambodians in the Lowell Lawrence area consider black dogs and cats a delicacy. So don't give black animals away. Not sure if this is true but it is scary!

I can't imagine the black cats I know being very tasty. Or any cat for that matter. I have a hard enough time thinking about where the meat at the grocery store comes from.

Have you tried to contact any of the cat groups that he donated to and explained your situation to them??

If it is a Siamese or Balinese I can help you there.

$25 to drop a cat off? They quoted me $70 earlier. Must be the reason why they fired the last director......................

Not yet. I definitely need to do that when I can sit down and research his records. Great idea.

If you're thinking of adopting a cat, consider playmates for your new cat. Just yesterday, this entire discussion was posted about adopting cats (and kittens):

I had no idea of the importance of littermates.

From the article:

PetSmart may be a good lead however for a cat looking for a good home they ask around 100.00 (I think anyway.) No wonder the poor things never get taken what ever happened to HELPING the animal and keeping the price of all this very minimal? Sadly at that kind of money for an adoption most people will say the heck with it and spring for a new kitten, unfortunately leaving the other guys out in the cold...
