What a wonderful idea! Thank you so much for starting this thread!

madamefifi · Mar 2nd, 2009, 08:41 PM

Well, I'll be the first!!

My husband adopted a pregnant stray a couple of weeks ago and this weekend she had her kittens--7 if you can believe it!! We are perfectly willing to keep them all, lol, but if there are any tPFers in the Richmond VA area who would like to give a sweet kitten a loving home in about 8-9 weeks, please PM me. I am sorry I don't have good pics yet---these cell phone pics were taken when babies were less that 24 hrs old---but as they grow and get even cuter I will be posting more. There are 3 yellow kittens and 4 in various shades of gray. The mom is a sort of silver tabby/marmalade mix.

madamefifi, thank you for posting about the kittens available for adoption. They already look so sweet

I hope you are able to find them all loving homes, and that this thread is of help to you!

clevercat · Mar 3rd, 2009, 09:14 AM

Voodoo, what a brilliant idea!
I am going through the adoption process at Battersea Cats and Dogs Home at the moment, I can't wait to bring another kitty home!
I hope this thread has lots of happy endings

kristie · Mar 4th, 2009, 03:50 AM

Thanks guys....and YOU are awesome too

OK, thought I'd give this a try for Rico. This is an Email I've been sending out, I just copied and pasted it here.....

~Meet Rico~

He was found while living on the streets, dirty, matted, hungry, and scared.
He was so scared, he wouldn't let anyone go near him.

After 7 days of leaving food for him, and trying to gain his trust, he finally let us catch him and bring him home.

After a bath, some exploring of the house and a few days of being timid, he has come around and is quite friendly, actually.
He has been living here with 2 other small dogs for almost a month.
He does very well with other dogs (not sure about cats), and would do well in a home with a backyard, or someone with time to take him on walks or to a park, he loves to run!
He is house trained.

He is an older dog and will need some slight behavioral training, I am starting to work on that.
Because he is older, he may have some health issues in the near future, please be aware of that.
He is the typical Chihuahua, very smart, feisty, and protective.
He will take a while to warm up, but once he does, he is a total ham!
He does shed, but with regular bath's (he is on his second bath since I've had him, he does pretty good in the bath) and brushings, he will shed significantly less.

~He loves belly rubs~

~and Rawhide~

Rico would love to go to his forever home as soon as possible.
Please do not inquire unless you are sure Rico is the right dog for you and you can give him the love he needs and a forever home.

~Do you have the forever home Rico is looking for?~

ADDED for tPF: I am going on Vacation the end of June. We are driving to Ohio from Las Vegas, NV. If you are on the way, or willing to meet up with us, we will be happy to 'deliver' Rico.

Cristina · Mar 5th, 2009, 08:03 PM

^ Awww, what a handsome man Rico is!

FijiBuni · Mar 6th, 2009, 03:36 AM

Rico is such a cutie

Good luck finding him a wonderful home! He deserves it!

chelsssea · Mar 8th, 2009, 04:59 PM

Aw this thread is so cute. GREAT idea. Also, if anyone is looking to adopt but nothing here strikes you-definitely check out www.dogsindanger.com. Unfortunately many shelters that euthanize do not use this resource, but there are many dogs listed on there. Also petfinder.com
I don't have my "before" pictures of Molly and Riley on this computer, but hopefully I'll get them and be able to post them soon.

chelsssea · Mar 8th, 2009, 11:44 PM

Hey...can this be a "looking for" thread as well? I know a lot of people on this board love the "designer" dog thing...but those dogs are also from puppymills and horrible places. Most people think these breeds (ok, mutts) can't be adopted. Especially on the East Coast. I found these ADORABLE "morkies" available in NY. Please note that I have no connection or other information about these dogs-just that I think they're cute/desireable. Good luck!
