|  |     If you haven't already found a suitable candidate, I'd suggest calling
    the Boston Cat Hospital (266-PURR) which is located near Kenmore
    Square in Boston.  As you can surmise from their name, these people
    are cat people (WONDERFUL vets) and provide an active placement
    service for kitties of all kinds.

|  |     I know you said short hair tabby, but where I board my horse, they
    have a few barn cats and someone just found two strays a few weeks
    ago and brought them to the barn because she couldn't keep them
    at home.  One is an adorable solid gray (med-hair) kitten with yellow
    eyes.  She is getting very friendly and doesn't quite know how to
    stay out of the way of the horses' hooves.  If you're interested,
    send me mail at TOPDOC::NAJJAR (by the way, the kitten is in N.Andover,
    MA)
