anyone in Chicago want some cats?

I can hook you up.

So, the sad part is that an uncle of mine died this week. He had three cats which now have nowhere to go. He also had a dog, which is sadly going to be put down (it's an old dog with cancer and has had many operations - it may be for the best). The cats on the other hand, so far as I know, are fine. That's about all I know about them right now. My mom asked me if I knew anyone who could take them (I used to live in Chicago and still have friends there), but can't think of anyone right off.

My uncle was a great guy. He loved children and animals. He was a retired teamster and leftwing to the core. I think he loved God, family, his pets, his union, and his country, and possibly in that order. These are good, solid, Democratic cats, no doubt.

So... if you may want them, or know someone who does, let me know. It may be a week or so before I have any info for sure, since someone in the family may take them (I'll try to convince my parents, but they've already got a dog who's a handful), but if there's someone in the Chicago area who could use some kitties, let me know. It may be ok to split them up, but I'm not sure - two came to him as a pair though, so maybe they should stay together.

3. I'm so sorry for you loss,Harmonicon.

My condolences to you and your family.
Your uncle sounds like a great guy!

I sure hope the kitties find a good home.
I agree, the two should stay together.
They will be much happier and believe it
or not, much easier to care for.

I have two brother kitties here who run the house.

Thanks for helping them.
