Petfinder "wish" game

[jenluckenbach]

Not everyone will like this little idea of mine, but I tend to pine away at all the beautiful cats out there who are homeless.

I'd like everyone who is interested to search www.petfinder.org for a cat that you might adopt if you could.

Most of us are not in the position to adopt any more, but it would be nice to dream, don't you think?

Feel free to post more than 1 time, but only 1 picture in each post that way we cat savor each cat.

here is mine:

Easy game for me. I drool over petfinder all the time. These boys are at my local county shelter and they were featured in the paper this weekend so hopefully they have now found a home. I've been drooling over them for about two weeks.

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/TN61/TN61.3124063-1-pn.jpg
They are Tyler and Tobey and I WANT them!!

[jazzcat]

If I could't have the boys I would love Ashley. She's 8 weeks old and at the same shelter.

This is Avery:) I think he wants to come home with me but hubby says I *always* think that:rolleyes: He is 3 years old and already declawed so I would not have to worry about THAT (him hurting my current babies) and they say he is very mellow. I LOVE his eyes.:D

[catcrazylady]

I want this one! Her name is Peaches.

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY18/KY18.3073612-1-pn.jpg

[catcrazylady]

And this one. His name is Colby Jack and I think he would go very well with Pepper Jack. I could start a cheese theme! Isn't he gorgeous!

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY18/KY18.3073617-1-pn.jpg

[catcrazylady]

OH OH OH! and this one too! I have always wanted a nose splotch!!

Her name is Purdy ( hey that would go with Pervy)
http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY18/KY18.3121221-1-pn.jpg

Jen I don't hink this is such a good idea. I'm getting that old familiar craving!!!http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

[catcrazylady]

OMG! Look at this face! Her name is Lacey

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY18/KY18.3131312-2-pn.jpg

Jen you've created a monster. Make me stop!!

[RedHedd]

AAGH! Don't do this to me! You MADE me look! This one reminds me of my RB Goldie. Her name is Sienna:

Continuing with the cheese theme: Gorgonzola!

Yet another gray kitty for me, imagine that.

[jenluckenbach]

This is Yahtezz. Wouldn't she look lovely with Sterling??
http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/NJ128/NJ128.3169319-1-pn.jpg

[catcrazylady]

Look at this BIG boy named Marmy! I want him too!!

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY162/KY162.2855223-1-pn.jpg

[bluekat]

Ack, everytime I go on petfinder I would want another cat SO bad. Here's one(or a few lol):

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/ON122/ON122.2887557-1-pn.jpg

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/ON103/ON103.2605649-1-pn.jpg

Sorry, I couldn't pick just one...I had to stop or else I would've kept on posting:o :p

[Lacey]

Oh, so many pretty babies! Don't you just wish you could take them all home?

I guess if I had to pick just one, I'd have to go with Tammy. I'm such a sucker for torties and calicos!

http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/TN157/TN157.2458607-1-x.jpg

At least it looks like someone decided to take Karat home. Either that or I just missed his Petfinder ad. He was this BIG (22 lb) orangie that I met last time I was at the mall's Adoption Option.

[catcrazylady]

Check out this guy Lori. His name is Silver. Is he too cute or what??

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY162/KY162.3101653-1-pn.jpg

[catcrazylady]

this little guy made me laugh! His name is Art. He has the coolest markings.


http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY16/KY16.3131482-1-pn.jpg

[catcrazylady]

AWWWE! This reminded me of Luna and Lily.

It's Amber and Taz.
http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY155/KY155.2686625-1-pn.jpg


I have to stop this now!

[catcrazylady]

Look at this!! What an incredible looking kitten! His name is Boris.

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY155/KY155.3171505-1-pn.jpg

[catcrazylady]

Ok I really want this one too!! This is the last one because I'm getting out of Petfinder before I go crazy or drive you all crazy!!!

This is Eric
http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY155/KY155.3171521-1-pn.jpg

That's the last one from me!!! I want every darn one of them anyway!

[kuhio98]

http://www.kittyandk-9connection.org/PHOTOS/cleos4.jpg

Here's the little guy I want. He is unammed but described: ..."very outgoing and people oriented. First kitty to the door to greet people everytime. Very active and smart."

[Equus217]

How are you guys getting the photo to post? I'm having a heck of a time with it for some reason...but I did find the perfect little girl to adopt!!!:D

[catcrazylady]

Ok, I lied! Now my heart is totally broken and I'm ready to go getthis guy! He was in a home for NINE years and his owners got two new kittens. Casey didn't like it and didn't want to share his litter box so they dumped him in the shelter!!! He is missing his front leg from a dog attack years ago! He's terrified and they are begging for a home for this sweety! Now I'm crying!! Geesh, I was doing so good!

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY63/KY63.3162672-1-pn.jpg

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY63/KY63.3162672-1-pn.jpg

Oh my goodness . . . that is absolutely HEARTBREAKING!

[catcrazylady]

He is in Hopkinsville Ky. I'm not sure how far that is but I doubt he would make it with 10 other cats. Probably a few less would be better for him. He is so scared and from the description you could tell the shelter people weren't too happy with his previous owners. So heartbreaking. Do you know anybody Christa? At least he is in our state.

LizzieLou or Christa if you know of anybody that would give him a wonderful home I will go get him! I don't know where it is but hubby and I would find it.

[lizzielou742]

Oh no, you've got me getting kitty fever again!!! I can't have another! But if I could, I would love to have this girl. I've been looking at her picture and description for a while now on petfinder. She's at a shelter in Jeffersonville, IN. She's a beautiful female (spayed) tortoiseshell the shelter is calling "Daughter #1."

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid131/p3cdcab9340f1a63e72b6c376e7dc41c2/f7b13ebe.jpg

Doesn't she look terrified?! I feel like I need to go rescue her, now! I'm such a sucker for torties too! :(

Her description says: "Daughter #1 came in with her sister, Daughter #2. They are both very sweet cats. Daughter #1 is a little more outgoing. They are about 8 months old, and are very nice cats. This cat has been vet checked, spayed, tested FELUK/FIV negative, and is current on all shots."

I would LOVE to take this scared little girl home and give her a real name and a furrever home!!! :( :( :(

[DJFyrewolf36]

This little guy is at Pet Network in Tahoe *Not too far from me*

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/NV69/NV69.2952539-1-pn.jpg

His name is Buddy
Not only is he adorable *all of them are...sigh* but he has Feline Aids :(. My heart breaks for these special needs kitties.

[lizzielou742]

And this is the other girl I want. Her name is Bella and she's an adult female. She's at the Woodford Co. Humane Society in Versailles, KY.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid131/pf0f82472121e83d8c6e737a5652b9eea/f7b13ebd.jpg

Her description says: "Bella needs to be the only cat in the household. She does not like the company of other cats. She is a wonderful cat when on her own-she is affectionate and very lovable toward her human companions. If you are looking for an only cat, please give Bella a chance. Bella is a little older - only 7 - but it is harder to find a home for an older girl then all of the young cute kittens."

Isn't she ADORABLE?? Obviously, since it says she needs to be an only cat, they wouldn't adopt her to me, but GOSH I wish I could have her!!! :( Being older, I hope she finds a home soon!

Christa and CCL, you all have my heart aching with those pictures of Casey! Wish I could take him!! :( If I find anyone who could, I will definitely PM you all. Hopkinsville is way west of Bowling Green. Mapquest quotes it as being about 175 miles, or 3 hours and 15 minutes, southwest from Louisville.

[christa]

Well, first of all, I've fallen in love with this little girl. Her name is Amiee and she's located in Huntington, WV.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid131/pb4f2d7941fa732cc83563c74d3934139/f7b14077.jpg

This little girl made my heart melt. Her name is Snowball and she's 3 years old. As you can see, she has 2 different colored eyes . . . but, she's deaf. Her description says she's really sweet but she gets startled easily. She needs to be in a home that isn't very active, with no other pets.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid131/pcc203b6606da591a41a614dd848502c1/f7b12fc6.jpg

OK, I HAVE to quit this now . . . before I cry my eyes out!

I'm thinking . . . I just can't think of anyone that would take another cat . . . and as tempting as it is, I just can't afford another right now. My heart is breaking though . . . I'll keep him in mind though . . . try to think of someone.

[Vermontcat]

Jen, did you start this thread because of me?;)

I think you may know the Petfinder kitty who is number 1 on my list right now.:D
Tux girl! (http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/PA02/PA02.2792929-1-pn.jpg)
Does she look familiar to you?
I do believe she is from your little town, her name is Barbara Ann!:)

[jenluckenbach]

While it is true that once you start reading the stories, your heart will break many times over. But these kitties and so many more NEED us. They need us to look, to tell other people about them, to try our best to DO something no matter how small.

I sure am flattered (and so is BarbieAnn) that she was picked as a favorite.

[jenluckenbach]

How about Lucy?

I like this one, I went to the sheleter the other day and met him. He looks kind of like our RB Flicka. His name is Goliath:

They're all beautiful, but this one really caught my eye!

[nibblets]

Look at this beautiful girl! She is a Maine Coon,Dilute Tortoiseshell Mix named Feather.
http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/KS99/KS99.2397313-1-pn.jpg

This is killing me.....there are too many of these babies out there that need homes.

[nibblets]

http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/KS106/KS106.2942855-1-pn.jpg
Notes: **UPDATE** Joslyn was adopted, but one week after her adoption, she was found (with her RPH orphan tag still on) on the street at 39th & Main! We're really upset about this, but are glad that she's safe at the hospital.
:mad: SOME PEOPLE!

She has great markings!

[jazzcat]

I keep seeing these guys and my heart breaks. They are in Atlanta.

I noticed that too. They look a lot like Tigger and Peanut Butter.

[popcornbird]

Ohhhh.......

I want this baby!


http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/CA217/CA217.3133206-2-x.jpg

or this one...

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/CA58/CA58.2966473-1-x.jpg

or this orange ball of fluff...

or this adorable little tuxie...

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/CA573/CA573.3110279-2-x.jpg

TOO CUTE!!! Sorry Jen.....I couldn't post only one in the post. There are so many that I want, and I didn't want to fill the whole thread. I didn't even post every kitten I chose!! Ah, why am I torturing myself when I know I can't get another pet right now? :(

[jazzcat]

Oh PCB, I love those little gray and white kitties!!!!

I think you NEED to get a kitten or two. Go for it.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Go to petfinder.com, under AGE, click on SENIOR, and for zip code type in 60527 and then pick one, any one. ;) Matter of fact, pick two or three or even four! Since this is a wish list. ;)

Sad part is I first went to the website of our local Humane Society because I would prefer to adopt from a kill shelter, and they had NO senior kitties. :(

[jenluckenbach]

Debbie, take Trent
http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/IL34/IL34.1182812-1-pn.jpg

or Gracie
http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/IL53/IL53.3040588-1-pn.jpg

[jazzcat]

Debbie, I found this guy at Tree House. He's 11 and has some special needs but what an unusual looking handsome boy. I hope he can find a home for his last years.

This one is breaking my heart. How can people be so cruel? I wish for them two cats that never use the litter box!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks Jazz and Jen, I couldn't decide and I knew you guys would find the perfect kitties for me. I'll take all three. ;) :D

....although....there were a couple of blackies that caught my eye....and one, I don't remember her name, but she was 12 and tiny and except for a little bit different color could have been Peanut! I about got up and went and got her immediately, poor little girl. :(

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Here she is. She even has Peanut's personality.

http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/IL34/IL34.1184973-1-pn.jpg

I am a tiny 12-year-old girl who is quite shy but very playful. I am so little and adorable that everyone wants to hold me, but, even though I don't mind being close to you, I really don't want to be touched. The person who adopts me would need to understand and accept that I will probably not become a lap cat, but that I am wonderful just the same.

Are you going to go get her? ;)

I wish! She's such a beautiful cat, but I doubt we'll get her. Were still having high hopes for Maggie's return. But I would love to drive over and visit her.

[jazzcat]

Okay one last one I promise. This little guy was just listed today. He came into the shelter on Friday. His name is Lancelot! I love it.

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/TN61/TN61.3176308-1-pn.jpg
Another shot
http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/TN61/TN61.3176308-2-x.jpg

Now I really want him too.

[Amber]

WOW!

Look at those beautiful whiskers! Someone is going to be lucky with that cat. so cute.

[lizzielou742]

Here is Tigger, one of two cats listed at the Kentucky Humane Society (a kill shelter). He's a senior cat.

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY24/KY24.2977564-1-pn.jpg

I wish I could take him in!! :(

[lizzielou742]

Spree

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY30/KY30.3158725-1-pn.jpg

[lizzielou742]

OMG! This beautiful girl is named Pisa.

http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY30/KY30.3158720-1-pn.jpg

Her description: "Pisa is a great cat! Very friendly and outwardly affectionate. She has had it rough! She was kicked by a horse, and has sustained a permanent neck injury that requires considerate handling. There are no medical requirements or expense associated with her injury. She loves other cats, and would make an excellent second, third or fourth cat! (Or more!!)"

Oh poor baby! I want to give her a furrever home!!! :( :( But I am already at my pet limit at our apartment :(

[lizzielou742]

Okay, okay, one more and I am done.

Harley:
http://www.petfinder.org/fotos/KY103.2030279.jpg

Isn't that the funniest looking expression?! LOL! I'd love to have her. I love her facial markings! With that black nosie.... :D

Here's her decription: "Harley is just the most interesting looking cat. She was brought in as the result of a domestic dispute. We thought one of her owners would come back to reclaim her, but they have not and several weeks have passed. Many people show an interest in her but never return. She begs for our attention and is so unhappy being confined to such a small space."

Poor baby! Isn't it so sad how some animals end up homeless? :mad: :mad: Stupid people, grr!!

[catmandu]

If I took in another Cat,it would be Basket,a Gorgeous Tortie,that looks a lot like RB Pouncer! She is at the Hamilton Petcetera,and I am not allowed,to adopt,as I am way over the legal limit of Cats!

[bluekat]

Oh I love this thread!:D But it makes me sad to see all those beautiful cats that are still waiting for a home:( Ahh..I want all of them! Here are more I want:

Awww there are just too many....

[Lacey]

*wags a finger at Jen* Now you've gotten me looking through Petfinder at all the darling babies in need of a home! When the day comes that I can afford to move out of an apartment and into the house, I'll probably run out and get another one or two.

In the meantime, more petfinder dream babies:

Sparkle

http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/TN47/TN47.2075545-1-x.jpg

Skittles

http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/TN132/TN132.3119054-3-x.jpg

Joyce

Julian

http://www.petfinder.com/fotos/TN49/TN49.2645615-1-x.jpg

I've met Julian at the Adoption Option a couple of times, and the poor guy just doesn't know how to put out for the folks that come there. He's just too scared of all the noise. I hope someone comes along who can see past the scared little guy that wants out of the cage and see the little darling that I know he is.

[jazzcat]

Lacey - I met Sparkle back last fall or this winter!!!! She and her sibling Smudge and I can't remember the other's names are adorable. They were born last summer. Their mother is a gorgeous white cat with black spot and a black nose (like our very own PT Samantha) and has been adopted. She was found pregnant wondering around some trailer park. Anyway, the rescue group who has them has adoption days every weekend at the local SuperPetz about 5 miles from me. That is where I got Jazz and Scout but they were with another group, Animal Works.
