Hi, Judy! The message I've copied in below came to me from Nigel's daddy's
"Mom" Kathleen. It's self-explanatory, I'm just sending it along to you in
the hopes of widening the circle of potential homes for the poor cat. He
isn't a possibility for me since Luna is still kinda freaking out over
Nigel not being here and it probably would be good for this guy to have to
move in with my "nervous nellie". If you can think of anybody who might
help, please feel free to pass this along. If you get any takers, let me
know and I'll pass it back to Kathleen. Thanks!

Hi, everyone...I'm sending this out to all in the hope one of you might know
of someone (most ideally a little old lady...or an older, single lady or
someone alone, no kids) who would be interested in a cat who is currently in
very unfortunate circumstances. It's a black and white semi-longhaired
neutered male, about 4 or 5 years old...nice cat, but has had some problems
w/his living situation: his current home has two very noisy dogs, his
owners both smoke a lot and the cat has developed allergies (I suspect to
the smoking), and one of the owners is terminally ill (cancer). His wife
does not seem to be interested in the cat, besides having her hands and
emotions full at the moment, and the feline has been relegated to staying in
a kennel. Not good for a cat, as you all know. They are now talking about
getting him a 'foster' home for him, but I suspect what they really mean is
placing him in an appropriate home. He deserves a place where he can enjoy
his life...he has not been used to children, tho' I don't know if he would
accept them; he has been around dogs, but is not 'buddies' with them. He is
an indoor cat, very relaxed, but has been through a lot of late. Might need
a person w/a little patience to get him settled in, but I think he would be
a lovely pet for someone. It's very sad to see all this happening. I can
help in transport and delivery, etc. He currently lives on the Peninsula.
Let me know if you can think of anything; I know we have all placed pets for
terminally-ill friends before, and that's what this really is.
Best to all.
Kathleen

Contact the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society (no-kill shelter) and
talk to them about an owner-surrender. There is a waiting list, but it
isn't unmanageably long. I volunteer there regularly and the cat will
be well-cared for while waiting for a new home.
