1723.0. "Two Tiger Tabbies Need Homes" by POOL::MURPHY (Is it Friday yet?) Wed Aug 31 1988 12:55

    "Tigger" and "Peanut" (2 male tiger tabbies approx. 13-14 wks. 
    old) are each looking for a loving, permanent home. The kittens went
    for their physicals, 1st series of shots as well as Felv test/1st
    shot (both negative on Felv) August 25th.  They were given worming
    medication and Peanut (been living in the barn with his foster 
    mom) was sprayed for fleas.  Tigger had recently been sprayed and 
    has a new flea collar; vet did not find fleas on him.

    Both Tigger and Peanut have sweet dispositions; Tigger is kind of 
    laid back in personality.  He gets along with everything and 
    everyone.  His littermate, Peanut, is more aggressive but oh what a
    purr-bucket he is.  He just loves to be held and petted.  Been 
    known to fall asleep in people's arms.  Though littermates 
    originally, they were separated soon afterwards to place Peanut 
    with his foster mom who lives in the barn.  Foster mom lost her 
    one and only kitten at birth and not only had an abundance of milk 
    to get rid of, but also fretted for her dead kitten.  Peanut more than 
    made up for her loss.
    
    Since both kittens are such sweeties with a lot of love to give 
    (needing it in return), I'd like to see them go to nice homes if 
    possible.  Otherwise, Tigger will end up being an "outdoor only" 
    cat getting food put outside a door all the time by present owner, 
    and Peanut living in a horse barn may not survive that long.  He's
    not cautious enough when under their feet and it will only take 
    one of those large hooves to crush him.  

    They are scheduled to return to the Vet's week of Sept. 19th for 
    2nd series of shots, including Felv and Rabies.  Final shot on 
    Felv for 1988 will be week of December 19th.  I'm taking them along
    with my new kitten.  Kittens are located in Londonderry, NH but
    I work in Nashua so would be willing to bring them to meeting point
    within or not far from those areas.

    One other thing, Tigger does use a litterbox when provided.  Even
    though Peanut has been living in the barn, I see no reason why he 
    wouldn't use a litterbox also if provided for him.

    If you know of anyone who'd give them a home, send me mail outside 
    this note.

    Thanks
    Pat

    Tigger has a home.  Peanut (actually the most affectionate of the
    two) still needs home (not a barn as that's where he already is).
