Lost and Found

So, this sweet little guy is amazing around Miss Ginsie, totally wants to be around a human (he slept curled up against my back last night), and is very clearly trained. I know someone is missing him.

Given that, I've searched craigslist and put up a found ad. I called up the non-emergency police to which I got a "No, no one called here about a lost cat. *click*" Uh, seriously? You don't want my phone in case someone does call up this morning? I also called animal control and the animal shelter to leave messages. He's perfectly fine here but I know someone else is missing him and probably frantically trying to figure out who to call and what to do.

I don't think I can do much more. I'll look around the neighborhood for lost cat flyers and up at the grocery store especially. We have a community board up there. I'm sort of hesitant to post a "Found" cat poster since anyone can claim that he's theirs. Like I said, I put one up on craigslist but not with a lot of detail beyond gray striped cat.

Because of the cat, I may not make it to Holiday Faire. I really want to make finding this poor guy's owner my priority.

Minor Cat update

Animal control just called me back. They took Jasper's description (Yes, I'm naming him after a Twilight character. This way, his nickname will be Jazz and what goes better with "Gin" than "Jazz"?) and informed me that, technically, after 10 days, he's mine. So, um, I might have a cat for...Thanksgiving? Hmm....

The big issue is a very simple one -only my Mom and I aren't allergic to cats in my family. This is why I never considered one before. Yes, I have my own house and everything but even taking the cat over for Thanksgiving will be...interesting. And I have yet to tell Dad. Won't that be a fun conversation! No one is seriously allergic, I think. Still, this means that Jasper might get boarded -a lot. Mom and Dad can take Ginsie but I'm not sure about Jasper. Ugh!

Oh well, we'll deal with it when we need to. This Wednesday. Assuming his owner doesn't come for him.
