Looking to place a cat

[torquill]

When the tenants moved out of the house last week, they weren't able to take one of the cats with them. Chessie has been living largely outside for the last few months, as she dislikes other cats (I think she doesn't like conflict over space and food and such). However, she adores people; she's been friendly with almost everyone I've seen her interact with. She's very sweet, soft, and fluffy; I'll try to take my camera over in case I can grab a few pictures of her, but I'd describe her as a longhair pale tortoiseshell, with one half of her nose grey and the other half a pale orange. I'd take her in if I could, but we're truly full up here.

If you know someone in the Bay Area who would like a people-cat, who doesn't have many (or any) cats in residence, please pass this on. I suspect that she would be content to stay indoors if she didn't feel that other cats were driving her away. She's so friendly and sweet-natured that I'd really like to find her a home rather than just handing her to the uncertain fate of the county shelter. (I'm sending email to a couple of other adoption agencies around here, looking for tips.)

poor kitton!

I'd ask simplykimberly for a signal boost, maybe with a photo. She's great at placing cats, but has several of her own. She might also know where to send the kitty for the best chances of a Forever Home.

As it turns out, I'm much less concerned these days... Chessie has come around the house a few times since the old tenants moved out, and we offered her food, but she doesn't seem to need it. Her coat is soft and full, she eats the kibble politely, but I really suspect she has a new home in the neighborhood. She didn't seem to be looking for shelter from the rain, either.

So, at least for the time being, I'll figure that she's placed herself with a new home, and I won't worry about finding one for her. I'll keep an eye out for her in future to check up occasionally. :)
