Hi there cat people..
Today I visited the West L.A. animal shelter on Pico at Sawtelle, and was visiting with some of the cats. I saw a cat that has been in the shelter for a month and a half, is known to be sensitive (as marked on his cage), and when I spoke to the volunteer in the cat room, she said this cat has bitten some people. I was talking to her more and she said cats who cannot get adopted are put down, behavioral issues being one reason. I watched this cat for a bit, and I was torn up because I saw an unhappy but smart soul who was in this cage... perhaps doesn't trust people, but seemed to have a cynical wisdom (if that can make any sense). I kept thinking about this cat all day, and wish I could find someone who would devote their time to keeping this cat from being put down, and taking on a difficult kitty. He is blue/grey with longish hair, medium plus in size, probably around 6 years old (I think). Is this a place where I can reach out to possible homes for cats I meet in this shelter?
I currently work every single day, even more than full time... I don't know that I could currently give any cat the attention I would like to give them, let alone a cat that might need some constant and special care.
Is anyone willing to take on this type of cat? ... may be with a patient human soul, this cat would develop a good life.
