Still purring for Star, he's such a sweet looking cat I'm sure he'll find
new slaves soon.

Well, maybe they couldn't come for a good reason, but they could have
phoned to say so, couldn't they? I hope better slaves come along soon.
If they promise to adopt him and then don't show up that is not the home
for him. They need to really want him and if they truly do they will move
the earth to get him.

That's my reaction, too. It would need to be a "good excuse" on the order
of a true *emergency* before I would want to let people adopt who failed to
show up and didn't even bother to phone. When I made arrangements to adopt
Duffy, I could hardly wait for the day to arrive when I could get him (there
was a three-day waiting period for reference checks and vetting), and I
headed for the shelter *the instant* my classes ended for the day because I
didn't want to take any chance that I would be delayed past their closing
time.

I know - I remember the breathless anticipation of going to pick up each
of my boys. Desperate not to be late and to be there right on time.

I was thinking maybe they had some kind of emergency ... but that's not
very nice either.

Poor boy - I feel super responsible for him - sure, I've taken him out
of a cold snap - but into a kill shelter since the no-kills were full.

I also have 2 cats and allergic 7 year old. 3 could be the tipping
point for having to rehome all three.

Every cat is special, but *YOU* rescued Star.

We can't let Star be killed. I'd be happy to help out with his fee, if
it comes to that.

Perhaps other members of the group could help out, too.

Better they not show now than he go through the trauma of a new home and
then be brought back. Will send prayers and purrz he finds his onetruehome
soon.

I tried them - they're all full, which is why I took him to the SPCA first.

It's too soon to panic. He's got another busy weekend coming up. I'll
keep monitoring him.

another option... I don't know how many have this but our city pound has
"sponsored" cats" you pay their fees and that guarantees they aren't PTS,
