Really? You mean I could come to Seattle and take a couple of your
"campus cats" without speaking to their cargegiver and you would be
"thrilled"? What kind of a "friend" are you?

Would you adopt out one of your socialized cats to a couple who lived in
a small trailer with four other cats?

No group I know would and that includes the public shelter and the SPCA.
