Kitty in search of a new home
I got this e-mail from Cathy Benson, who some of you may know is the community journalist that writes for The Botetourt View. She is trying to help a friend in need. I am including the text of the e-mail she forwarded below. If you know anyone with room in the home for a kitty, please pass it along.
"Jojo is a 7 yr old female indoor cat. She is a sweet and loving cat that needs a new home. We are moving in the next week and I have been looking for a home for her for the past 3 months but no luck. We can’t take her with us since we are renting a place in Maryland that does not allow cats."
Contact me at pets.roanoke.com for Jojo's family's contact information.
A place that doesn't allow cats!?! That sounds terrible!

Word. I think a home without a cat is, well, a pretty crummy place to live. And landlords who don't allow kitties are just heartless beasts.
(To any landlords reading this who are saying,"But I don't want my place destroyed by dumb people who don't take proper care of their cats or the property they rent!", I feel for you, really. Sorry about the heartless comment. Really. Please don't write me.)
Good news is that Jojo has found a home. So thanks to all of you for caring about this sweet little kitty.

I'm so glad that Jojo received a good home. Such a beautiful kitty! You are so right Nona about landlords not wanting cats or dogs. My thoughts exactly. Ten years ago, I was trying to find a place to rent..everyone would either say NO when they asked me about having pets, some laughed when I told them how many I had at that time and I actually had one that hung up the phone on me. I ended up buying a house just so I could keep my pets and it actually turned out much better than renting which only makes the heartless beast landlords rich.
