A Cat up for Adoption
Got this message on the Dataw Net yesterday.
There's a woman who moved to Dataw from Massachusetts with a Norwegian Forest Cat named Victor. Then she left Dataw and moved with Victor to Beaufort. (That's the "big town" near here. Heh.) Now suddenly she's announced she's moving "out west" next Saturday. She's not taking Victor with her. She needs to find him a home. Immediately. She's moving next weekend? Wow! That's fast. I have no idea why she's not taking him with her. Here's a pic of Victor: http://i67.tinypic.com/20r1d9d.jpg He's absolutely drop dead gorgeous. He does look a bit like a haughty well groomed skunk. LOL If he doesn't find a home in a week, does anyone know anyone in the southern SC area who might want to adopt Victor? He's described as a very well mannered cat. Laid back, likes his pipe and slippers. LOL Jill |

Victor had already moved twice, which means that a third move may be more difficult. More to the point, she has set a completely unreasonable time frame. Unless something like severe illness is involved, she sounds completely irresponsible. That's not why you wrote, though. My one suggestion would be to contact veterinarians in the area and see if they could help by posting Victor's picture and story. He is such a gorgeous cat that his chances of adoption are improved. Likewise, the fact that he is a Norwegian Forest Cat may help, but his owner simply isn't giving him a good opportunity by requiring adoption so quickly. Please keep us updated. MaryL |

MaryL I agree. purrs that a good home is found for Victor where he has someone to take care of him properly. Judith I do not know the exact circumstances as to why this woman has to suddenly move "out west" in a week. (It almost sounds as if she was evicted or something and is going to move in with someone/family.) I couldn't find the original email to suggest contacting vets in the area. Hopefully someone else thought of it and passed it along. Fortunately, the Beaufort County Animal Shelter is a no-kill facility. There is a completely separate annex for cats and kittens. If all else fails and she has to take him to the Tabby House I'm sure someone would adopt Victor pretty darn quick! Jill |

MaryL I found out Victor found a home with someone who lives here on Dataw. I have no idea what necessitated the quick move to another part of the country. I hope Victor will be happy. Thing is, he's also been front declawed. I left this part out of the description because I *really* don't want to hear more wailing about declawing. I don't agree with it either but I'm not the one doing it. The picture shows him sitting on a brick wall with metal fencing above his head. Some sort of outdoor enclosure. You won't find a lot of brick walls on Dataw so maybe that was his home in Beaufort. Hopefully now has a home with a screened porch or a glass sunroom. I do hope whoever adopted him knows *not* to let him outside. Jill |
