Buddy Boy in TN: some answers
John Gill and Critters and I all meet secretly, many times a day, over cats just like Buddy Boy.... along with others, we call ourselves SCAT: Special-Cat Action Team. our motto? Those Who Can, Do.
I am a board member for Hurricane Pet Rescue, which just happens to be headquartered in Miami, but is a national rescue group. Buddy Boy's mom contacted Celene when trying to place Buddy Boy, who climbed out of the monitor onto many of our desks, and we've been working to place him ever since.
He's in Knoxville, and we're all keeping our paws crossed that he has, indeed, found himself a purrfect home in SC--his new mom is hoping to drive up (down?) to get him on saturday! Only thing we're waiting on is a successful home visit, as new mom has passed the application process....
Thanks to EVERYONE who has responded!

the joy of doing this work
and as phesina can tell you, once we know about you, we NEVER forget--i just went and tracked her down after almost a year....
and just let me tell you, there is absolutely NOTHING like the feeling of being a bad influence on people!
the woman who took in both buddy boy and his brother joey is someone i "know" from, of all places, www.icanhascheezburger.com -- and she saw buddy's photo on my facebook page. having complicated her life in this joyous way has just enriched mine in ways you wouldn't believe--seriously!
i was also able to hook up a retired flight-attendant friend (also from cheeseburger!), and she's gonna accompany a three-legged kitty from houston to HIS forever home in boston over the weekend....
there is NO job better than this.
i'll be posting about sylvester later today--a very special little boy in the NYC area, who desperately needs a quiet, calm, place of his own....
