Desperate kitty looking for home
This poor cat has been passed around to 3 homes now. He is a hypo-allergenic, short haired male, at least 8 years old. It looks like he has some skin issues developing on his face. We have heard that he isn’t great with other cats, but I have not had him in my home so I cannot confirm it.
The man who adopted him appeared to be a good guy, but has completely proven otherwise. A few weeks after he adopted him, he posted a picture of the cat on Facebook with a caption, “I F****ing hate this cat.” We immediately reached out to this individual and told him we could help him find a different home. He took a long time to respond, but said it was only a joke (which I don’t believe for one minute). As time progressed, he continued to say mean things about the cat, but every time we asked for a picture to use in re-homing the kitty, the individual refused. He finally sent us this awful picture. I want this cat out ASAP. I feel so bad that he has had to live with this crazy person for so long.
This cat is needy, which goes along with his breed. He doesn’t like to be left alone and has a very loud meow. Any forwarding you could do for this cat would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any ideas, let me know.

Desperate Need
There is a desperate need to relocate 7-9 altered semi-feral cats. The property they have been using for shelter has been sold and the new owners do not want cats there. These cats would be excellent mousers but would need a place offering shelter and water. The current caretakers are happy to provide cat food for the duration. Contact barbaraH@thecatpeople.org for more information.
