"Wendy" wrote in message news "Stacey" wrote in message ... I posted this to the wrong thread. Here it goes again: I have quietly been following this thread about Conan and saw he still needs a home. A good friend of mine recently lost her 17 year old maine coon mix to CRF. She has another cat and didn't want to get another one, but she has noticed her other cat has gotten lonely ans she misses a big cat to hold and cuddle. She hasn't been quite ready to get another cat, but has been open to when it happens. I told her about Conan and she asked me to send her the contact information. IS Conan still available? My friend lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She owns her own home and has a yard with fruit trees. She gave her cat with CRF the best of care and helped him cross when he told her it was time. Thank you, Stacey I think you better check with Phillip (as much as I hate checking with him for anything). I got the impression that Conan wasn't the snuggle-bug type. If he's an independent sort then he might not be the best match for your friend who is looking for a cat to "hold and cuddle". I may have the wrong impression which is why I even mentioned good old Phillip. No, you're right, Wendy. Conan is one of those "all-boy" cats! I emailed my friend the photos and called her to let her know they were waiting for her. I told her about his personality too. I don't want to pressure her as she still misses her cat, but she IS getting ready to think about getting another one and definately wants a boy cat. I figured it was worth a shot to let her know about Conan. I hope this works out. If it doesn't would Dan still be able to foster him? Stacey |

I may have the wrong impression which is why I even mentioned good old Phillip. W Consider this: Conan never "nipped" me during 6 days of forced feeding, 2-3x's a day. He did bite me on the second day when I rolled him on his back to trim his claws. But he didn't know or trust me enough on the second day so ... I was as much at fault for testing him too soon. I have never owned a cat who didn't take a nip at me on occaision. Comes with the turf. Better than a scratch any day of the week, especially for an elderly person (all of us have more fragile skin). Speaking of nipping ... the kitten Omar has started to "play-fight" which includes some nipping and holding onto my finger with his mouth. Cute little baby teeth. While he's holding onto my finger, he'll start making sounds from growling to yowling. Funnier than hell! :^D |

I live in the Bay Area and I do some adoption counseling, so I could certainly do a phone interview and report back to the group so we'll know somebody has met the person. She would need to decide quickly that she wants to do this and get in touch (she can e-mail me, I guess), as have a quick deadline here. Thanks! Tracy And if air transport didn't work out I could drive Conan a hundred miles or so towards SF if someone else could pick up the relay from there. I'd just have to do so by Saturday. Dan Oh fer gawdsake, Dan. It's 410 miles / 8 hrs drive time from OC Shelter to downtown SFO. Come on ... you need a road trip. Get the Rescue Babes to cover your gas money! |

downtown SFO. Come on ... you need a road trip. Get the Rescue Babes to cover your gas money! Actually, if it wasn't coming up on July 4th I'd love to do just that! I love that drive, and would enjoy taking Conan for a road trip. If I wasn't obligated to drive a truck full of fireworks out to Banning on the 4th for my brother, I'd jump on the chance. If the airlift doesn't work, I'll see about arranging a road trip after the 4th. Dan |

I sent an email to my sister last night, and got this reply.
******** Yes! What's the little guy's name? And do you now if he's indoor only or what? Either way, yes! He's beautiful, I love marble kitties, and of course since Booper, I love Orange Boys : ) ,what can I say. Call me when you're up to give me the details. |

I emailed my friend the photos and called her to let her know they were waiting
for her. I told her about his personality too. I don't want to pressure her as she still misses her cat, but she IS getting ready to think about getting another one and definately wants a boy cat. I figured it was worth a shot to let her know about Conan. I hope this works out. If it doesn't would Dan still be able to foster him? Stacey No, unfortunately I can't. I've got four more kitties than the landlord allows, and my Harri kitten just got out of the hospital - I don't want to expose her to the strain of a stranger kitty in her house. I have contacted a local no-kill shelter, though, to see if they could care for Conan for a few days. If the airlift doesn't work, I'm hoping to move Conan into a local no-kill until we can arrange either a run to SF or a local adoption. Dan |

Hi Mary, I saw my friend yesterday and we were talking about her cat. She told me the story about when his mother (who she owned) had him and he was old enough to find a new home she adopted him out to an elderly lady. A few weeks later she had to return him because he was treating her like another cat and climbing all over her. I think she would be used to owning a rambunctious cat. I will pass on the information to her though. Stacey I would NOT call Conan a "rambunctious" cat. Now kitten Omar IS rambunctious during the 06:00 and 19:00 crazies. Omar will reach out his paw, touch your nose, and then ask "What's that?" |

Dan Well, I can't do it on Wednesday (not that anyone asked me to) because I've got a hot furniture move to Lake Havasu on Wednesday, 600+ round trip. |

Dan can't foster him, as he has several cats and one is recuperating from an illness now. |

"Nomen Nescio" ] wrote in message ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Mary" IS Conan still available? He is, Does this mean that Charlie opted out (or was opted out) of the adoption? No. Charlie still wants him and Rhonda is still trying to find a way to fly him. However, it seems someone (see thread "Mary S. Misrepresented ..." above) called Katherine the shelter manager and told her that Charlie is a monster, so Katherine may be backing out of what she told me yesterday. I have a call in to her now, she has my home and cell phone. So we will see. The larger point is, anyone who walks in today can adopt Conan. He has not been reserved or his adoption fee paid yet because we have not been sure we could A) transport him or B) find him a local home or foster home. |
