I, of course, managed to miss the deleted post, so it is hard to follow a line of thinking, But Jenny and I have been talking a LOT about Annie, and this is what they want. I will not speak for her but Annie won't find a home with just anyone. She is a very shy and scared cat. She needs very experienced and patient cat people, and those types are few and far between. While it is true that Annie might well find her own family closer to home, it is not likely to be in the near future, especially with kitten season coming and all those adorable FRIENDLY babies to choose from. So far, no one has been interested, and she's been available for adoprion for 8 months now. As soon as they hear that she will hide from them, that she doesn't like to be picked up and that she may never be a lap cat, they go look at the next cat. With SO VERY many homeless cats, people tend to adopt the "easier" ones.
If you don't want to help, that is perfectly fine, but don't bring down an otherwise joyous occasion for those who are happy for both the new parents and the little orphan who finally has a REAL home to go to.
