I want to get a kitten for my new apartment. but there is nothing in the classifieds, there are usually a ton. why is there a shortage of kittens? is it becuase the cats are depressed becuase the economy sucks, and they are not mateing as much as a result? gosh, the economy effects everything. even cat mateing.

the shelter 's can be tough...I don't get it, they'd rather put an animal to sleep than give it to someone with an apartment? A cat?

I am tring to get rid or some cats...
are you anywhere around mississippi?

I have 2 kittens, well young male cats. They are fixed and have all shots and meds/

I would gladly give you one.
I had a big house with a big yard so I had 3 cats...well 1 cat and its 2 babies.

I just moved into an apartment and it is too much. They are cute and sweet too, and pretty smart. Its just too small to have 3 cats here. I feel it is unfair to them
 

I am sorry for using the "R" word - and NOTHING EL

Rob: I encountered similar difficulties. I first tried the dog pounds, run by local towns, one had one old cat, another was "Closed", but the employees were visible inside.

I found a place about a mile down the road from, didn't know they even existed ! They are a no kill place, operated out of a residence. They had about 30 cats, 20 kittens, made me wait 2 weeks. The kitten was about 6 weeks old, they wouldn't release it until 8 weeks.

I had to fill out an application ( about 3 pages long). They don't check the info, filling out the form seems to indicate you are serious enough about wanting the kitten.

They charged $50, gave first shots, you can't fix the kitten until about 6 months old. Females are better, they tend to roam an area about 1/10 of a male cat ( if allowed outdoors). This one isn't going out. Males tend to "mark" their territory, you don't want that !

But spay the female. A female cat in heat, isn't pleasant either. I reccomend a short-hair female. That line should get a comment, or two.

The long haired types, shed a lot, and make a mess, also the fur tends to get matted and you then need to take it to a pro , for grooming, often requiring the cat to be sedated and shaved. I won't brush a cat for half an hour daily.

The kittens are available, just not where you think. A shelter is probably better than a kid in front of the supermarket.

A Petstore may not give the info, they want to sell you a cat.

Forgotten felines may help, not sure if they are national, but something similar must exist where you live. I got mine from a local place, that surely doesn't exist where you are.

Good Luck,

Doug

Doug J, thanks for the info. I've had a cat as long as I can remember, except for the last few years and I kind of miss it.

Are there any Chinese restaurants in your neighborhood? If so, that explains the lack of cats in your neighborhood.

Put out a can of tuna, in the way the wind blows.

You will have a new cat in a second, but you may also have all the cats in a 5 mile radius.

rob,

thats just sick man. im sick and tired of hearing about guys that have sex with animals. find a good woman and pretend she is a kitten if you must have these types of fantasies.

thanks.
