OT Getting rid of a cat
I have a cat that is a stray. I have been feeding it for a couple of
months. I would like to give it away, but have found no takers. Georgia will be experiencing freezing temperatures soon and I do not keep animals in the house. Anyone want one? I am in West Georgia. The local animal pound says they keep it for a week and then euthanize them. http://imgur.com/Ml4F6 I found a no-kill shelter about 45 min away, but it says on the site that they can't, by law, accept strays. http://www.jenniferspetrescue.com/ |

Kijiji.com is a popular classified ad site, and they have a pets for sale or give-away section. Getting the cat spayed/neutered and vaccinated would be much more appreciated by the shelter than handing over the cat with a bag of food and $50 donation. |

The local animal pound says they keep it for a week and then euthanize them. The cat will do fine outside if you continue to just feed it. Particularly if you make a small shelter for it. I live in a area of TN with a climate similar to GA. We keep out cats outside all winter long without any problems (other than coyotes and foxes, but the dogs gandle them). The winter doesn't bother them at all as long as they have a small shelter. Been doing it that way for 25 years. -- Work is the curse of the drinking class. |

lesbian, and only inhabits egg boxes with good interior decoration? I mean, old towels can be so gauche if the color scheme isn't just right. -- Christopher A.

If you want to get fancy, for the coldest times a heating pad set on low could be added, but it should not be necessary. The heating pad is overkill and may keep the cat away. The other suggestion is that the box be only large enough for the cat to curl up. Placing it out of the wind is very important. |

"Stats on animal abuse show a sharp correlation between animal abuse & other crimes, including rape, robbery, murder, sexual homicide, domestic abuse and more. E.G.: studies show 100% of sexual homicide perps (like Jeffrey Dahmer) started by abusing animals. Even cops, prosecutors & social workers say show me an animal abuser and I'll show you someone with a long rap sheet. Thus, we all need to get behind toughening laws for animal abuse to keep these violent perps locked up longer." http://www.hg.org/article.asp?id=8011 Prisons are full of sick people. |

They keep the rodents under control. They live in the hay shed in the winter and I provide some old blankets, rags, etc for them, and feed them. They have access to water too from the heated livestock tanks. Why not take the cat to a farm area and see if you can find a taker. Put up notices on bulletin boards in rural stores too. There is also a thing called Freecycle on the web. It's for giving away anything you want to get rid of. Find one nearby and use it. I'd take your cat if I was nearby, but I'm a long ways from you. |

All of our animals are 100% outdoor including 8 cats. (current count). They'll be fine. Especially in GA. We're in Kansas. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |

Georgia to even bother a healthy adult cat. Well, they do sometimes crawl up on a nice toasty engine block, but it's not the cold that'll get 'em. a simple bump or two of the starter before you spin it for real usually get 'em out. We deal with that a lot here. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |

Possibly. Pre-qualify the prospective new owners as best you can. Here are some questions: * House, apartment, what? (Homeowner OK, renter no) * How long have you lived there? * Children? How many? Ages? (Toddlers ( 4) is a no) * Ever had a cat before? What happened to it? * Why do you want a cat? * Any other pets? Do they get along with each other? * Do you plan to get the cat de-clawed (a "yes" answer is a no sale) * Do you plan to get the cat neutered or spayed? (Yes is good) * An indoor cat will live upwards of twenty years. Can you handle a long-term commitment? I have been asking everyone I meet for two months if they want a cat. My only requirement is.......do you want a cat? So far no one has met my expectations. Never been a salesman, eh? "Ms. Prospect, if I could show you a way, an ecologically sound way, to to keep your home free of vermin, and here I'm talking about rats, mice, and roaches, plus bring some entertainment and contentment into your house, you'd certainly want to hear about it, wouldn't you?... Right. I thought you would. Now, tonight, I'd like to bring the cat over to your house and see if he likes you. His name is Beauregard, and frankly, he's a little picky about the two-leggers he associates with, so it's kind of iffy. Would 7:30 be convenient?" |

I don't even know if it is male or female. If it has testicles, it's a male. If no testicles, it's a female OR a male that's been neutered. A vet can tell you if: a) It has a chip, and b) it's sex. |

OT Getting rid of a cat
"Stats on animal abuse show a sharp correlation between animal abuse &
other crimes, including rape, robbery, murder, sexual homicide, domestic abuse and more. E.G.: studies show 100% of sexual homicide perps (like Jeffrey Dahmer) started by abusing animals. Even cops, prosecutors & social workers say show me an animal abuser and I'll show you someone with a long rap sheet. Thus, we all need to get behind toughening laws for animal abuse to keep these violent perps locked up longer." Don't forget the "Unholy Triumvirate": Bedwetting Animal torture Playing with Fire Read "Mindhunter". It appears that a high percentage of "Sick *******s" (serial killers and the like) exhibit that group of tendancies as kids and adolecents. -TES |
