Need help in Boston area

[emily_the_spoiled]

Hello everyone,

This is a long story, but I will try and give you the "Reader's Digest" version ... at the beginning of October a good friend of mine died (BT) and he left behind a wife (BB) and a son (H) and three cats. My friend BB (the wife) is having a hard time coping with three cats and would like to rehome two of them. She has found a home for one with a friend in NYC, but has asked me to help with the second kitty. If we cannot rehome him, she will take him to a shelter.

Scotch is a oragne and white cute guy (neutered). BT let Scotch be an indoor/outdoor kitty despite objections from me. Since BT has died, BB is training Scotch to be an indoor only kitty and he seems to be adjusting pretty well. I was up a few weeks ago and Scotch actually came into the bedroom and hoped up on the bed to sniff at me. I think given time and attention he would be a fine indoor only kitty. Right now he is very shy, but I think a lot of that has to do with the turmoil in the household and he will settle down when his life is settled a little more.

If anyone is interested or would like more information please let me know. I would REALLY like to rehome this little guy instead of taking him to a shelter, because I know that he will not do well in a cage.

I am willing to help arrange a transport and I can bring him back to the DC region this weekend (I am going up on Friday).

You are coming to Boston Friday? Let's meet!

Sorry, I cannot take the kitty, too many cat allergies in the family, but will ask around if anyone could.

Hi Karen,

I am flying into Providence on Friday AM and driving out to Worcester (where my friend lives). But it would be great to catch up with you (or you and Paul) sometime on the weekend.

I appreciate you asking around for me. Scotch is a great guy, he just needs some adjustment time.

Okay, let me pass the word to my Worcester area family as well, they may know someone, how old is Scotch?

Scotch is somewhere between 2.5-3yo and neutered. We will also get him up-to-date on shots if we find a home for him

Oh, so now you are ALSO coming to Providence without any announcing? LOL joking, we can meet too if it fits your schedule - heck, I'd be willing to meet you at T F Green airport and just hang out there for half an hour with ya!

Let me know if you think we can arrange anything.

As for Scotch, I really hate these stories, as I know I am at my limit. I feel terrible I can't help all of them! He won't do well at a shelter ANYWAY, he isn't a kitten. Prayers for a good living situation to develop for him.
