My cats are for adoption
Anyone in the midwest (Central Iowa) My Siamese cats, Tuggles and Midge are very important to me. But recently I've moved in with a girlfirend who is allergic REALLY allergic. We've tried every prescription the doctor could give and even a couple of herbal remedies. She can't stand to be in the house for the way it affects her breathing and sinuses. I am terribly sad to say I have to get rid of Tuggles and Midge. They are very nice 3 yr olds and play together well, but I just can't have them any more. If anyone knows the best way to get them into a good home, I would appreciate the advice. I want to see them go somewhere nice and would take any option before I have to have them euthanized. But time is of the essence. I need to find somewhere for them fast, or I may have to have them put down. Thanks, Bob |

They'll find a foster home for them and see that they're placed with responsible owners. http://www.siameserescue.org http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography |

Would I ever get rid of my mushyboy? Nope. I stopped dating anyone who couldn't physically or mentally tolerate my cats. Little money? I made do with no new clothers...cheap food, etc. Would i take a job where housing means no pets. Nope..wouldn't do it...whether the job for 40K or 140K. Agreed... Get a new roomate. It's easier than placing adult cats. ;-) It's not just some roommate. It's my future wife. Bob Katra (with 35 adults...) |

I don't know of anything else. What is a desensitization shot? Bob If you are not familiar with desensitization shots, then it sounds like you have not been to an allergist. Please ask your girlfriend to make an appointment with one before you make this decision. Your GP may not be the best source of advice on allergies. There are other people on this newsgroup with severe allergies who have used allergists, so maybe one of them will respond with more information. Also, my brother-in-law had severe allergies, and he was greatly helped when we installed an electrostatic filter on our heat pump. This was a permanent electronic filter installed in the equipment, not one of those temporary disposable filters. MaryL |

My brother was allergic to cats (well actually you are not allergic to cats
per say but their dander however cats seem to get the blame) and he would never get rid of his cats. I hope the OP will reconsider the dumping of his cats and consult an allergist. Also it is possible that prolonged exposure to the allergin can bring about some immunity. The OP never said whether or not he bathes the cats on a regular basis. Also I have to wonder why the OP would move in with a woman who is obviously allergic? It seems cats become disposable whenever this happens. Would the OP have given up so easily if these cats were humans and his GF was allergic to even them? -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "MaryL" wrote in message ...

I have to agree here. Cats really become disposable in relationships even
when the problem is simple to fix. The mainreasons cats seem to get dumped are the following: 1. A new human baby is on the way. 2. My GF or significant other is allergic. 3. I am moving into a place that doesn't allow cats. The list goes on. I too am one of those who will not date anyone who doesn't like cats Of course there are those people who like cats but simply won't admit it to others. I'd think any woman who wants to be with me will accept that myself and the cats are a package deal. I have kicked a few women to the curb simply because they could not accept I have a cat. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Luvskats00" wrote in message ...
