Boomer's Ad

[Sirrahsim]

Here's what we're putting in the paper. It should run mid-August and hopefully someone will bite.

Sweet Tabby Cat- Looking for new home. Very gentle, good-natured. Neutered. Humanely declawed. 3 year old brown male. Call Melissa for details. Phone#

I don't know if you can still edit your ad ... but you might want to put something like "family being deployed" so that they don't think he has some sort of *issue* and maybe they would also be a bit more motivated to help? Just a thought! Good luck, Missy.

[Sirrahsim]

I only get 20 words so I'm already pushing it I figure I can explain that when someone calls.

[kimlovescats]

Yeah .... I didn't mean to worry you, just a thought! I'm sure God will handle it all!

(((hugs)))

THEFOUND CAT HOTEL,IS READY,FOR BOOMER,IF WE CAN SOMEHOW GET HIM HERE,THAT,IS THE HARD PART.
BUT AS YOU SAY,GOD WILL FIND A WAY,IF THIS,IS MEANT,TO BE.

I agree with Kim's suggestion Missy..
How about-
Hubby deploying and seeking permanent (or furrever) home for gentle, calm, much loved tabby cat. Humanely declawed. Call Melissa...


I really think that the *reason* might attract someone willing to help love him....the wording might help to attract the sort of people you are looking for.

Gary and Donna - you are both sweethearts for offering Boomer a home *IF* it were workable to send him to the states - he will live here with our five until Missy and Paul return to the states for good.

Debbie,

I'm sure that's a load off Missy's mind. That's great to hear.

[rg_girlca]

Missy, I'm wishing you all the best of luck in finding Boomer a new loving home.

Not to stray from the topic, but what is "humanely declawed"? I honestly don't know what you mean by that...

I don't want to start a declaw discussion, but I am curious as to what you mean.

[lizbud]

I wondered myself, but didn't want to ask. Maybe
it's code for just front declawed.

Oh, this sucks, I didn't know you were having to get rid of your cat.

I did a search and found it after I saw this thread and replied. I didn't and won't say anything rude, even if I hadn't read the other thread.

Is an ad in the paper really the way to do it? Just about anyone could come and take your cat!

[lizbud]

I say let the originator of the thread answer the question about
"humane declawing". If your going to plublish the ad as is, the
question is bound to be asked by somebody don't you think?
