Vet Tech Journals: Purrs needed! Tinta needs a home!!!

Hey gang,

Some of you might remember that at my school, Pierce College, our RVT
program has program animals that we take care of every semester

Each semester we adopt animals for the students to take care of during
the semester. The cats and dogs get a ton of attention and loving
care, and we students get to practice things like restraining, clipping
toenails, drawing blood, etc. At the end of the semester we find homes
for the animals.

Well we are currently having problems trying to find a home for Tinta.
We've asked around and nobody seems to want her. She is a year old,
black DSH that just loves to be scritched and loved. She's a little
shy about being picked up but she loves attention. Also, she's shy at
first, but loves the company of other cats. I've found her curled up
with the other program cat, Elvis, a few times. Elvis I believe might
be going home with one of my classmates, but so far no one i've talked
to, at work, or at school is interested in a cat.

Now, I was the one that saved Tinta from the shelter and the last thing
I want is for her to go back there. I'm only supposed to have one cat,
and I have Imp and Mischief. I'm kinda talking my roommate into
allowing me to foster her until we can find a home for her. (she's
very reluctant, because she knows too well about a cat coming in
temporarily and then staying. That's what happened with Mischief)

We cannot have three cats. I know those seem like famous last words,
but we seriously cannot. It's fortunate enough that Imp is so shy and
quiet that nobody here knows about him. But Tinta can be a talker, and
Kristen and I could get evicted. The landlord has a no pets rule, but
made a special exception for us and ONE cat. Money is short enough
already, and three indoor cats would be just too much for us in our 2
bedroom apartment.

I currently live in Van Nuys, in the Los Angeles area of California,
and I need help. I need people to spread the word to find a home for
this kitty. My professor and fellow students want her to go straight
to a good home, not to a shelter or a rescue. I am willing to take a
big risk and foster her, but i need to find a home for her, because as
much as I love her, i cannot keep her permanently.

Not to mention that Mischief is going to go completely BALLISTIC when I
bring her home!!! My roommate and I have decided to bring her home
tomorrow to see what happens. Cause if the fur really starts to fly,
then we really can't even foster her.

Please help or send purrs.....

can help.

a home for her.

Hi, we used to live in the SFV and still have a lot of friends there. One
set specifically living in the CP or is it now 'West Hills' area. Anyway,
I'm going to forward your post to several of them, and if I get any takers,
I'll have them contact you directly, or thru me if they turn shy (I kind of
doubt that!).

I just talked to my professor, and she said that another student might
have found a foster home for both Tinta and Elvis the other program
cat.

i'm happy and yet confused. I could have sworn Elvis was spoken for.
He's a year old DLH that's brown and white. He's got the most
adorable, big fluffy paws.

So I guess now we need to find a home for Elvis too. They go very well
together, but I think they would be okay if they were separated too.

I still stand by my original plan to foster Tinta if necessary. But
now i'm worried about both kitties, i certainly hope they find homes

Thank you for forwarding the message to your friends

UPDATE:
I just found out this morning that Tinta and Elivs have found a foster
home with a student who helps run a cat rescue. It's not precisely
what I wanted, but at least they'll have a home. Purrs that they find
a loving permanent home

But if anyone finds people looking to adopt a kitty, let me know and
I'll forward the information. Thanks!

Can they be used again next semester if they don't get homes over the
summer? It seems a shame to adopt additional cats when you already may
have 2 that need homes.
