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..... email me at , if you think you know someone who can help.

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!). -- Shirley B.

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. Follow the same link to go to his picture http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ krysfamulan/album?.dir=/f7b9 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 Kristi |

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! Kristi |

Kristi 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. |
