Good people wanted

I'm smart, affectionate and homeless.

I'm smart, affectionate and homeless.

My friend Karen is trying to find a good home for a homeless cat she’s befriended. She writes: “This cat has been hanging around our office here at the corner of Bank and Gilmour for over a month now. He’s smart, affectionate and homeless. I’ve taken to feeding him and he is ravenous and cold….I am appealing to the animal lovers I know for help. I’ll deliver him to his new home along with a couple of weeks of food. Please help me find a home for this lovable guy!”

I know there are lots of cat lovers who read this blog, and I’m hoping one of you can find room in your home and your heart for Karen’s homeless friend before the cold weather comes. He sounds awfully sweet.

You can get in touch with Karen by emailing karen.batsch@ccochousing.org, or calling 613-234-4065 ext. 241. (Evenings and weekends email karen.batsch@sympatico.ca.)


Remember last year GC and I went to the TimeRaisers event, which was a volunteer job fair combined with a silent art auction in which you bid volunteer hours instead of money? When I blogged about it later, some of you said you wished you’d known about it sooner, so you could have gone.

Well, the second annual Ottawa TimeRaisers event is taking place this Saturday night at the National Gallery. We’ll be there because GC is collecting his piece of art, which he paid for with 150 volunteer hours at the Shepherds of Good Hope soup kitchen. I’m hoping to add to both my art collection and my volunteer experience this year, so I’ll be bidding up a storm. I hope some of you can make it too.

    The silence is deafening…sorry, I have two dogs and two cats…otherwise, I would.

  • I can’t either…Duncan hates cats. But I know there’s someone out there who can, and will, adopt this guy. (And Laurie just twittered it, so that should help get the word out too!)

    My dog eats kitty litter and then gets sick. (and makes me sick too) And besides, Remi just moved in. Sorry, too.

    He’s a cutie! And I’m a cat lover, but I have too much on my plate now to take on a cat, low maintenance though cats are. Maybe in a few years time when my kid is older. I hope this little guy finds a good home.
    Ugh! to Oma’s comment about eating cat litter. Only a dog would do that! (As you can tell I am not a dog person…)
