Got a message that I've reached my limit for posting to Livejournal's Austin community. Only 1 post made - Frustrating! Now I have to wait to post this one at some future time??

So again, I'm posting this here for Austinites:

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

Just got an email from one of the Shelter volunteers, about Chloe the cat who will be put to sleep tomorrow night at Town Lake Animal Shelter. See my other recent post. I do understand I can't save all the animals stuck at the shelter, but apparently Chloe is rather special. See the email at the bottom of this post to get an idea of what they think of her.

Here is a picture of Chloe:


CHLOE - ID#A351670.    I  am a spayed female,
gray and white snowshoe mix.    The shelter thinks I am about 5 years old. I have been at the shelter since Jun 19, 2004.

If I still lived in Austin, I'd help find her a home. It is so sad that people just disgard their pets, and let things like this happen. It is just so sad :(

What I find more sad, is that people find it odd when people want to do something about it. That flat out makes me angry - and I'll tell them so.

have you tried searching by interest for "Austin" in LJ?

Hi, Thinktink sent me to you.

I will be happy to foster/adopt Chloe. The only thing is, I don't know if I can get to Town Lake tonight. (I have to run all the way back up to RR from Westlake to pick up my cat at the vets).

My email is pacalissanctum at livejournal dot com.

Hi there -

Please try if you get even the slightest chance?
Just ask them where the cat adoption house (not the stray house) is when you get there, and ask them for Chloe (there are two Chloe's) who's scheduled for being put down today.

I'm going to try to make it in just before they close *if work doesn't get in the way*. I can't keep her permanently, but if someone hasn't come for her by end of day, I may have to grab her temporarily. If you're not able to make it (pleeeese), & I somehow get her, we can meet up and I can hand her over to you.

Dunno if I can make it today and noone from TLAC will call me back to hold her until tomorrow afternoon, so I can get her tomorrow AM. It really doesn't look like I'll be able to make it tonight. :/

I'll paypal you the adoption fee and everything.

Gah..this just breaks my heart.

When I first saw this this morning, I thought "I could get Chloe as a sister for Bonnie, my cat." But I was too late and Pacalissanctum had already replied. But if noone else wants to take Chloe, I'll gladly go down to the shelter this afternoon and pick her up.

That would be so fabulous!!! I could just kiss you, but I won't, since I'm a stranger and all. :)

I was going to take her in as a foster, but this is even better!

That's sweet, Lisa. :0)
If everyone took the time out to just help someone or something more than they pay attention to themselves - life might be a little easier, y'know?

got to take home Chloe.
I was at the Shelter this afternoon and visiting Chloe when I was informed by an employee that "she (some other lady) would be adopting Chloe today."
Well, shoot.
Sorry, Bonnie, but it looks like you'll stay an only child/cat for now.
