Please pass on the info if you are in the Austin area...
::::

I have three Austin people on my friends list, and one of you might have some cat networking abilities. If any of you want this little-big one before she's put to sleep, or can post it in your journal for other Austinites to see, here's the info:

-----------------------------------

The volunteers at the Town Lake Animal Shelter were desperate to find a home (OR A TEMPORARY FOSTER HOME) for a cat last night. Chloe will be put to sleep tonight (July 30th), by close of business - 7:00pm. The volunteers tried to give her to me for Free. I've been at the shelter constantly for almost 4 weeks, to look for my lost pet, and have not seen these same volunteers do this before. I'm not in a position to take her for several reasons, or I would have walked out with her in a minute. She's a tubby, sweet thing.

The deal:

Chloe was supposed to be put to sleep in the morning. The volunteers got the front desk to put a hold on her until 7pm tomorrow night, in hopes that I could take her, or at least find someone else who could foster or adopt her by then. Volunteers say they are trying so hard with Chloe because she's so sweet, and they have watched her become depressed from being at the shelter for so long. They don't want to see her put to sleep.

Chloe's Stats:



- You can foster Chloe temporarily or keep! The volunteers will stay in touch, & help you find a home for her if fostered.
- FREE! Her fee dropped to $20.00. The volunteers said they will pay the $20.00 for you. You should tell the adoption desk that the volunteers said they would pay.
- No waiting period! You can take Chloe home immediately, unlike most adoptions there.
- Spayed Female!
- Gray & White Snowshoe & Siamese Mix. Pretty Blue Eyes. Short Hair.
- Roly-Poly! 16 pounds. She's so tubby, she's darling.
- Has all her shots!
- Microchipped!
- Front Declawed (this means inside only & she won't rip up your stuff!)
- 5-years old
- Digs playing with her toy mouse
- She's become depressed in her cage, so she doesn't come running to the front of the cage. Just needs lovin'.
- They say her health is great.
- Her owner gave her up, because they just didn't want a cat.

-- You must go to Town Lake Animal Shelter earlier than 7:00pm when they close on Friday, July 30th, to fill out adoption papers at the adoption desk.

-- If you rent, they need to see a paper from your landlord stating it's okay to have pets.
-- If you have pets, they need to see rabies shot proof for your other pets.

If no pets - even better. You then will not need rabies shot proof - just come get her. (Personally, I would lie my butt off & say I don't have any pets. If my cats were indoor cats, and I know they haven't been around any pets outside that have rabies....but that's just me.)

Chloe's Shelter/prison I.D. is: A351670 -- She is in Kennel #AB 20 She is in the Adoption cat house, not the stray cat house.


* The volunteers said they are unable to take Chloe home due to their own situations. Chloe's cage has Alert signs on the door - no biggie. They had her on special food to try to get her to lose weight or something. They think the special food signs scared people into thinking something was wrong, rather than just her special food. She's healthy!

If you get Chloe - please comment here! Would love to know that she's found a permanent or temporary foster home.
