1166.0. "Wanted: Barn managers" by TOMLIN::ROMBERG (Kathy Romberg DTN 276-8189) Mon Mar 07 1988 14:23

	 Does anyone  out there in note-land have (or know where I might
     find)  a  couple  of barn cats that need a home?? Our resident barn
     manager,  Blue,  passed  away at the beginning of February, and the
     local  mouse  population  has  discovered  that  he  is  no  longer
     patrolling the premises.

	 Preferences are as follows:

	    Quantity     : 2
	    Sex          : male/it (being neutered is not a requirement 
	                   for being hired, however, if not neutered,
			   they soon will be.
	    Age          : adolescent 
	    Experience   : some experience preferred.  This would be 
			   an ideal opportunity for apprentice mousers 
			   looking to establish their own business.
	    Compensation : fed daily, regular entertainment in the form
			   of watching people ride, hugs and pets from
			   young children.

	    Scope of job : 29 stall horse barn in Littleton, Mass.
			   Lots of surrounding acreage for off-duty
			   prowling.

    
	    Local (DEC) contact: Kathy (MIRTH::)Romberg, DTN 276-8189

	You want BARN CATS? I can get you BARN CATS!! A friend has a barn in Lancaster, MA and I believe their current population of barn cats is about 30. I'm not sure. I am SURE that they would like to give you some. I can't guarantee the lovable aspect, but I have never seen any sort of rodent on their premisis. Contact me if you want more info. Holly DTN 273-3402

	Re: thirty cats Uh, they're not altering these cats, is that why there are 30?
1166.5	Most are altered	FIDDLE::HTAYLOR	Cat lovers are a special breed.	`Tue Mar 08 1988 08:41`	9
	No, as soon as they see a new cat, they try and catch it and alter it. Their problem is that everyone in town knows that they have a barn and they have had quite a few people who decide that they need a new litter of kittens. Either that, or people decide that they don't want their cat anymore and they just very discretely decide to drop it off at their barn. Holly

	The barn manager positions have been filled (we hope). On Sunday we went and picked up 2 feral kitties. They may or may not stick around. If not, I will contact people who mentioned other available cats. Kathy.
