Special needs cta in TN needs adopting

[jazzcat]

Okay, I went to visit Snowball - even have pictures I'll post later - and I got a different story. I know one of the ladies who works there and she said she had no problem with someone from TX adopting him. She said that they even have someone who helps work out transport. She was totally surprised that I was there on lvpets behalf and she told some of the other workers. They seemed excited.

Snowball is a doll! I thought he was a she until I got there but was told he's a he and alread neutered. Anyway, he is gorgeous, friendly and a lovebug. He doesn't let his foot slow him down and in the cage he is kind of a little monkey doing flips (I got pics of that too).

One note, the local paper came this morning to take pictures for there Pet of the Week segment and they chose Snowball so interest in him may pick up. If it doesn't work out for a PT member to adopt him I feel that the shelter will work hard to find him a good home. In fact, if I wasn't at my limit and hubby wasn't so stern about no more cats I would take him in heartbeat.

As soon as hubby gets off my computer, he's working, I will get my pictures uploaded and posted.

Lvpets - I'll send you a PM with some info.

I feel so much better now knowing that the story was different when you were there Lori.. Now I want to know who FREDBUD77 is that sent me the E-Mail .. I was so let down & disappointed all day.. I had hope that you would have good news.. Oh cant wait for the info & more news about getting closer to SnowBall.. I already have a PT member that has offered to help with Tx transporting..

Ok, first of all I saw the pics of Snowball first and I fell in love with them and him/her whatever he is. LOL Second i am so confused since I saw the pics post first before i read this one and it says he is adopted already. Then I read this one and I got more confused. Did Snowball get adopted locally or did Luvpets get to adopt him? Luvspets I am sorry that you recieved the response from whoever emailed you. i too think it is riduculous that the shelters put pets on petfinder and you find one you fall in love iwth and want to adopt then they tell you they only adopt locally, that happened to me jsut recently after Sophie died i wanted another Persian and found a couple of them that i wanted to adopt but one was in texas and they said they only adopt locally and the other two in Arizona and you have to come yourself to adopt them. The two in AR got adopted but i think the one in texas is still on petfinder. Just doesn't make sense to me. That is why I prefer actually talking on the phone with shelters as opposed to emails and even that doens't always help.
