So Calif...need a home for 8 mo kitten and 5 mo kitten!!

I got sucked into the big, sorrowful eyes of my 8 y/o son and let him get a kitten in June. Then I fell in love with this tiny, tiny kitten at the local pet store, and brought it home . Zelda, the older kitten, is more aloof (very cat-like and INDEPENDANT!!) which some may like. Not a cat for small children as she scratched Josh badly when he tried to play with her. She is a pretty smoky-grey with white, like a tuxedo cat, and the tip of her tail is white. Now the younger kitten is a doll-baby!! He is a longer haired cat, grey tabby, with the cutest face, huge eyes...I call him Fu because his whiskers curl downward, like a fu manchu mustache, instead of sticking straight out--too cute!!! He is so sweet and loving and tiny! The pet store said the mother cat was very tiny, and at 3 months he was considerably smaller than 8 wk old kittens. The reason I need to give them up is this: I have a 13 y/o cat that I just love dearly. He is a one-person cat, (me!!) and when we got our dogs he was not happy, but he dealt with them and we all co-existed well. These kittens are another story, however. E.U. (my 13 y/o cat) won't come home now unless we hunt him down and bring him. Then he is so stressed and hisses at everything--even from a dead sleep! He hates these other cats, and I miss him terribly. I feel like 13 years is long enough to earn senority, and I want him to be able to come home and relax again!! It will be hard to let go of Fu, I know it will be for the best. Anyone interested, please e-mail me!!! Peace, Susan

Here in Houston and the surounding suburbs we have "no kill" shelters. You might want to look into that if you can't find a home for your kitties. Additionally, don't give them away (unless you know the people). Sell them for a small fee. This will help weed out the freaks who get animals for free and then ignore, torture or hurt them. Ask for references, etc. Be a detective for your cats. You might go to a local shelter and ask them for a copy of the forms that they require people to fill out when people adopt. I used to be an Animal Adoption Counselor so I'm really leary of what conditions that animals are sent to. You can email me if you need any advice or help. Susan
