Ok, fine. Save the kitty.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not particularly fond of cats (they are super fun to chase) but it’s not like I wish them any harm. So when I got this letter from Mara I had to share it in hopes of saving this cute (there, I said it) kitty’s life.
I’m writing to you because there’s a cat named Laine that desperately needs help. I know you’ve posted about shelter dogs so far, but I thought maybe you could help a kitty too? I volunteer at a non profit, no kill shelter in Hampton, VA. We’re completely volunteer and donation-run and in June we adopted Laine to a family. Laine is an FIV positive so she has to be in a home with no other cats, only FIV positive cats or with a dog. The family that adopted her only had a dog but they called our president this morning to say they could not keep her (the husband has allergies). Since we can’t take her back into Cat Corner (the risk to infect the other 80+ cats is too high) she will have to be euthanized on November 23rd if we can’t find her a foster or a forever home. Laine is only 2 years old and is a beautiful steel gray tux. She is very friendly & affectionate. I know you have a big following, and maybe, just maybe there will be someone in the Hampton Roads/Norfolk/VA Beach area that can take Laine in for a little while? Maybe even for good? You can see her page including photos right here. Thanks! – Mara
See, do you blame me? She sounds like a nice enough girl. And I definitely don’t want her to die! Someone save her! Her address and contact info is: The Cat Corner, Inc., 85 Fulton Street, Hampton, VA 23663, (757) 722-0590 and you can send any email inquiries to: TheCatCornerInc@verizon.net
Come on people! Let’s help a kitty out. They would do the same for us pooches, right? Right? Well, maybe…
Update: Good news! Since posting this info a very kind human has come forward and offered to foster Laine! Great work guys! Thanks so much for helping me spread the word.

Thank you so much for posting this!
I knew I could count on you <3
My two cats, Tinkerbell and Ashton, sent kitty kisses and thanks too!
I really, really hope we can find a place for Laine until we can find her a forever home.
You are awesome!
Mara
Can another cat rescue take her? All of the animal rescue organizations I know if have a room dedicated to FIV+ cats.
That’s a great idea Molly! I would reach out to them to see if they’re open to that (especially if you can recommend a specific source). Save that kitty!
Hi Burger,
This is your Aunt Carrie. I called Cat Corner yesterday and someone has offered to foster Laine. She is in good hands for now!
Keep up the good work!
So good to hear! Thanks so much for the update Aunt Carrie!
Licks and sniffs,
Burger
hell of a lot more interesting than what I was supposed to be searching for, (cant believe I’ve got to work on a sunday!) came across your site by accident really and gave the thumbs up on stumbleupon. Thanks for the diversion! bp.
This is so sad… Obviously you guys already know you are super-awesome, but posts like these really help cement your greatness. I hope Laine finds a home! Good luck!
