Pittsburgh Kittens need a home!
Sunday, Jul 6, 2003 @ 4:37pm
This is from a friend. Please pass this along to anyone you know in or around Pittsburgh who might want to take in a cat or kitten. Cats and kittens are great. You want a cat. You know you do. Here's your chance to save a kitty:

Subject: Immediate situation--felines that need homes asap

My neighbors up in Pine Township have been hospitalized and may not be able to care for the many cats that they have adopted and that have been dropped off at their house. They are both around 90 years old and very generous and compassionate people. Chas and I are fostering 2 kittens now. There are as many as a dozen and they range in age from kittens to adult cats.

The cats will be taken to a farm up north and let loose unless I am able to find homes for them. The family does not want to do this but has no other choice because they cannot accommodate them.

Please, please, please, consider adopting a kitten or young adult cat! If you are not able, then ask your friends and family if they know anyone who would like to adopt a cat/kitten.

They are beautiful creatures, and a bit shy at first. But now, just a half day later they are playing and are more comfortable with my presence.

The information on the felines is as best as I can give. They scatter away in the house and hide, so it is hard to tell if I have seen them all. I have seen what I think are two age levels on the kittens. One about 5-6 weeks, and one about 12 weeks. The kittens vary from almost all white with black tipped tails/faces/paws (like they came down a chimney! *smile*) to multi colors of white, black, grey, and some brown. I have not seen much orange, some may have a bit of orange but not alot. There are some adults also. There is a very affectionate black cat who may be 10 years old. There are a couple of multi color, or spotted adults, probably around 3 years maybe. I was told there was a black and white cat, but I have not seen it.

There are a number of them outside, but they are hard to see, most are young adults to adults from what I can gather.

Please be advised that these cats probably have never been to the vet. For the kittens it is not so much of an issue. The two kittens that we have adopted are great! A bit skiddish at first, as expected, but the older of the two is very lovable now. The young one is still getting used to us. They are both mostly white with black or grey 'tips'.

Let me know if you need any other information.

I really appreciate your interest and efforts...

If there's any chance you're interested, or know someone who is, drop me an email at hello@fury.com, and I'll put you in touch with the proper person. Feel free to pass this post along to anyone else who might be able to help.

Thanks!
