DEAF rescue - prayers please

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Last night we rescued this little one who was living out of dustbins in a neighbouring compound.

She is absolutely gorgeous, with a long fluffy white coat and the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen. She is an absolute luvbug, and just wants to snuggle all the time. She is also DEAF

I am advertising to find a good home for her, but the issues are:

- I cannot keep her for too long - I WILL get attached and realistically her best chance of being seen and adopted is if she is at the shelter, as she is so pretty and loving.

- Inside-only cats are the exception to the rule here - how do I make sure her new owner will keep her safe inside?

- I am not sure what the shelter will do if I take her in, they are high-kill and usually handicapped animals are PTS immediately.

I am hoping to find a home for her through my contacts here. Otherwise I was thinking that I will arrange with the shelter manager to place her there - so she can be seen by potential families, on the understanding that if she is NOT adopted she will come back to me. I will provide material on caring for deaf cats, links to the deaf cats groups I belong to on the internet, and my phone number as a backup if they need any advice.

PLEASE pray that this little one finds the home she deserves - she is such a darling!!!

Oh Julie, I'm so glad you took her in. I really hope you'll be able to find a loving home for her.

Oh poor baby! I hope she finds a good home. Perhaps the one who wants to adopt a deaf cat is reasonnable enough to keep it inside. People who don't like cats enough won't be interested in a "handicaped" animal

If only I lived closer, I would love to adopt this white lady!!

Not sure why my attachments are not working?? I really want you to see pics of this little girl!!

What a little beauty she is!! To me, she is PURFECT!! Gee whiz, I sure hope you can find a place for that little one! She is adoreable with those blue eyes and all that white fluff, WHO wouldn't just love her to pieces?! Deaf? Is that a problem for a cat? I don't think so!

Lets hope someone steps up and takes her home immediately and not loose one minute with her.

Awwwwwwwww, I wouldnt care if she was deaf or not, you cant see deafness can you???

If I didnt have my two Ben and Sophie and lived near you I would have her like a shot!

When I was younger My Dear Mother picked up a White Prsian,that had been dumped at the Vets.
My Mother fell in love with her,and called her Missy.
She was never allowed outdoors,and she was the first of My Mother Cats,to have a Litter Box.
Missy lived to be a Good Age,and she was the last Cat that lived there,as My Dad said no more Cats.
My Dear Mother went to her Friend Mrs Kelly.or came to see Pouncer and Scrappy.
I would take her in a shot,she would fit in well here.
