Hi Nikki,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, we too work in partnership with several shelters throughout our state. It seems the larger a shelter gets, the more their egos get in the way. I guess there are politics in EVERYTHING, and who really suffers--the animals.

Hmm. While interesting, it certainly makes me glad I don't let my cats outside. Way too many dangers.

Oh wow. I know there's someone out there who will love her and take care of her. She sure is a beauty.

Best to Mary.

Sorry about that--Frank just hit the mouse and somehow sent the message. I'm sorry to hear about Bobby. Losing a friend is never easy. First Linda, I'm not an "expert"--just someone who loves cats :-) So with that in mind, is Pet…

Sorry about that--Frank just hit the mouse and somehow sent the message.

I'm sorry to hear about Bobby. Losing a friend is never easy.

First Linda, I'm not an "expert"--just someone who loves cats :-) So with that in mind, is Petey socialized? I'm assuming you can pet him, yes? If not, I wouldn't even attempt to bring him into the house. Assuming he is, I wouldn't worry about the litter box issue. When you bring him in, put him in a separate room with his own litter box, food and water. Unless he's what's called a "dirty cat" (one that won't use a litter box), he should instinctively gravitate to the box to do his business. I think the biggest problem with cats not using boxes, is their inability to get at them for a variety of reasons (other animals blocking the way, construction work going on where their box is placed, etc.).

Just my $.02--others may vary.

Good luck,
MaryAnn

Thanks for the response Robin. I guess I'm guilty of responding to the bad news--not anymore.

Well said Cathy. Here's to Howard! :-)

You really are an outstanding adoption counselor Howard! You've worked miracles with so many of the shyer cats. Your patience and helpfulness is often mentioned on call-backs.

Animals never cease to amaze me. Remember Scarlett? The Brooklyn kitty who in 1996 saved her litter of five from a burning garage, even though she suffered extreme burns? She recently died. Her age was estimated at 13. Her story always reminds me that cat…

You Rock Howard!

Fantastic news! If I didn't already have 8, um, I mean 6 cats, I would have taken him home in a heartbeat! :-)
