Conan Update!

I just spoke with Katherine, the Kennel supervisor. She told me the same
thing that Pam was told--he is recovering from his cold, and is in good
shape and is up for adoption "this weekend."

Katherine said that they do not have a set amount of time
that they put cats up for adoption for until they are euthanized and that
there are many cats that have been there a long time. (She seemed to be
disputing that they are a "kill" shelter--but she did not get too specific,
so who knows. We all know how it works. They get so many cats in.)

She said he is a handsome boy and very adoptable. I asked if I could leave
my name and telephone number so that I could be notified if he was not
adopted in time. She said they do not do that but that we can keep calling
back to check on his status. She will be there this weekend and Hector will
be there on Monday.

It seems to me that just as Pam says, he is in no danger right now, or even
within a week or two from now. But I cannot get anyone to guarantee me they
will call me if he is not adopted.

She gave me another pet I.D. number--after ascertaining that it was indeed
Phillip who returned him. (Nice of you to post using your own name you nasty
old dirtbag.) It is A0700875.

So we have a global forum here! Can we find someone who wants this big
beautiful boy who is recovering well from his cold? The fee from the web
site is $71-114.00. I will volunteer to pay the fee for anyone who wants him
and will love him and take care of him. (I will pay the fee directly to the
shelter, of course.)

We could also take a collection and offer something to sweeten the pot.
Maybe a few months of primo cat food?
An arrangement with a local PetSmart or an online store, to prepay for cat
food for him for the person who adopts him?

You are all super. Conan does not have to die! Yippee!!

Yes, it's wonderful that he is still among the living. I'm surprised
that they are not willing to make the phone call to keep someone
advised of his status. Phil said he also left his name and # and
requested to be contacted if Conan's "time" runs out. I would think,
for a special circumstance, they would do that.

I can't even think of any "regular" poster on this ng who is in CA. A
transport from LA to you would be a very looooong ride for any kitty,
esp. as Steve said, a sick kitty. It would be nice to get someone in
LA who wants him. I don't know, there kinda has to be a point person
and it's easier if the point person is in proximity to the kitty.

Candace, wasn't there a "Mary" who lived in LA, and worked/volunteered
with a shelter there? Have you seen her post lately?

Yes. A flight would not be too bad. But the fact is, my husband does
not want another cat.

It would be. But I want an orange boy, I always have. I will
adopt him if he does not get adopted in due time.

There was! We need to Google for her email.

Yes, you're right! MMMaryinLA or something like that. She is the
squirrel rescuer, Mimi the squirrel, she has a website, I think. No, I
haven't seen her for awhile either. Yes, we should find her.

I guess they are just really busy.

Both Katherine and Terri are kennel supervisors. I spoke with
Katherine. Phil, who did you speak with?

Iwould think,
for a special circumstance, they would do that.

She seemed to think he will be fine and that his is in no danger
of being euthanized. Her attitude was, what's the big deal?
And when I mentioned that since I know they are a Kill shelter
I was concerned that he might be put down she said, "Did
Jessica tell you we are a "kill" shelter?" I said she did, because,
well, she did. Katherine did not seem to like that.

I feel much better about the shelter he's in after you all have talked to
them. Isn't it amazing how the shelter was able to get him better but
Phillip wasn't? I'm surprised they let him take a kitten after that.
Anyway, I'm proud of myself that I found the right shelter
I'll put something towards whatever Conan needs. I'm sure he will get
adopted soon though. He's so handsome.

I do hope someone local can adopt him, that would be much easier for Conan.
If not, I can get him into the shelter I'm with, but that is also a long
ways away.
