Re: OT: Interested in a Bobtail?

Melissa,
   
  Have you tried posting Nonie's information and pictures on Petfinder and/or 
Catster.com?  Catster is a big community of cat lovers and you might find one 
who prefers bobtails.  Just a thought.  Good luck and thank you for providing 
Nonie and Ashley a safe and loving place while they await their forever homes.

  Anyway, delete if you aren’t interested in reading about my NON-FeLV bobtail 
(or is it Manx?—I don’t know the difference).
   
  Well, Nonie is one of my foster cats that I got back in April. Three strays 
found me in one week. Two are still at home. Cassidy, the one with FeLV, went 
to Best Friends and is the reason I joined this list. Nonie and Ashley are 
still looking for a forever home. It’s tough in these parts where cat lovers 
are few and far between and “farm cats” are the only kind most people tolerate 
since they don’t have to really take care of them.
   
  Anyhow, I’m still trying to get Ashley healthy before she gets a new home, 
but Nonie is very healthy, rambunctious, and cute. She’s a bobtail tabby (who 
likes to take showers with us), and I didn’t know if there are people who 
specifically look for those types of cats? Like all-white, all-black cats, 
Siamese, etc., I figured there must be people who prefer bobtails. Do any of 
you know of such? I really need to find these guys a home. We’re spending over 
$90 in litter a month, which is pricey for us. I’ve finally broke down and 
bought less expensive litter, but I still have to feed the expensive food to 
all (since one of my cats needs it, so all get it). I don’t cook for us very 
much since we’re gone all the time in the summer, so I don’t have time to cook 
for the kitties (but plan to in the fall/winter).
   
  I’m rambling, I know, sorry! I am just looking for some resources and a good 
home for Nonie. I’m pretty much willing to travel anywhere, but a home in the 
Plains/Midwest would be easiest for me. But, I’ll travel anywhere for the right 
home. And, no, she’s not a give-a-way (unless to a home with outstanding 
references).
   
  Sorry to bother you guys with this. I know that there are kitties pts 
everyday who don’t have good homes (and Nonie has a good home right now), and 
you all have your feline limits most likely, but I’m just looking for ideas. 
I’m fairly new to the cat rescue world—and I’ve found that you guys know a lot 
more that I do! Thanks for listening!
