They say she was from a shelter so one would hope they didn't but took

My bet is that they DID, but that doesn't mean that Lily isn't a nice
kitty

I found this ad from 3 days ago:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/da...034488910.html

For a BEAUTIFUL tuxedo cat.

I sent an E-mail, which goes to a blind E-mail address.

I will have to wait and see what happens.

I really wasn't planning on getting another cat so soon, but this one is
so VERY pretty!

I REALLY miss having a cat in my home :-(

I received this E-mail:

I have someone coming to meet Lily tonight. If it doesn't work out I'll
let you know.

Nate


I can't imagine them NOT taking Lily, but you never know.

I will be a bit fussy about getting a cat: I want a NICE kitty, like
Kenzie was.

I know I'll never find another cat that's just like Kenzie, but I want a
sweet cat, who is friendly, like Kenzie was

I would love to find a cat who is a bit more of a 'lap kitty' than
Kenzie was, too.

Every cat is different, just like people are.

There are MANY cats who need a new home, and this is the very first cat
I've considered, so if I don't get her, I'm not going to be upset in the
least.

Purrs that, if Lily is the right cat for you, the other people won't show or
won't take her. If she isn't, purrs that the right one finds his/her way to
you soon.

OMG, she looks JUST like Little Bit! Could be her twin.

I hope it works out for you to find a good cat. We used CL to
rehome some of our animals and it worked out well.

Hug her and give her some pettins and scritchins for me, if she
comes to live with you.

She's illegally pretty! I've never seen a non-beautiful tuxedo cat,
but she's awfully cute. Those short limbs make her look more like a
kitten than a two year old adult.

I find that cat rescues are awesome as well. Most of them are in
foster homes, and I find are a little more reliable than craiglist
ads, since you don't know about the person who is posting the ad,
etc. I got my Imp from a rescue, and usually those groups have a ton
of ADULT cats that need homes.

my two cents,

Kristi

Perhaps it is an older picture(?)

And yes: I agree. She's a REALLY pretty cat, and now that you point it
out, she DOES look young...or perhaps just petite.

But, because she IS so pretty, I sent the E-mail asking for her. I'll
bet she's been taken by the other person though.

I'm in no hurry, though....

Living in a bigger city, there are a LOT of 'private' rescue
organizations, AKA no-kill shelters, and I will be checking into them.

The ONLY reason I responded to that craigslist.com ad was because the
kitteh was so very pretty.

But, I'd rather have a sweet and good natured, friendly cat, than one
who is JUST 'cute'.

All cats are pretty, as far as I'm concerned.

Because I had a tuxedo, I have a real weakness for them. As I would for
a white cat, and a calico cat, too

This is Miz Piglett from rpcc and I have to tell you, you need a cat as much
as it needs you, there are no such thing as "time for this or, time for
that." I have to go back to rpcc now, this human speak is giving me such a
headache!

She is indeed very pretty! I think it would be win-win, She gets a new
home she needs, and you get the feline companionship you miss.
Although I still miss my Nina, Dmitri has added a bright spot to my
home and life. I just have to have a cat, or life is incomplete.
