Want a kitty?

[in-parentheses.livejournal.com]

There's a beautiful stripey cat (female, I think, but I haven't pried) in my neighborhood. She's sort of become the neighborhood cat - living on porches up and down the street, getting fed by a variety of people (she's currently feasting on a can of tuna on my porch) - and seems pretty happy with this arrangement for now. But I'm worried about her when it gets cold. She's extremely friendly, talkative, purrs readily, looks healthy and fairly young (2 or 3 years old?)...but she's been living in our neighborhood for a month or two and I haven't seen any signs about her, so I think she's up for grabs. I would take her myself, but a) my apartment doesn't allow pets, and b) realistically I think I'm too allergic for that to be a good idea.

So...somebody out in LJ Land must think their life is incomplete without a small furry beast. Right?

Ask around first, then try the posters

Even before hanging posters, ask a few of your neighbors who are long-time residents or some local business owners if there are any.

There's a neighborhood cat in the area I moved out of several months back. The cat is loved and fed by about 15 different people and wanders around the area all it wants. After some inquiry we discovered she was owned by a lady in the next building over. The cat wasn't homeless, she'd just worked out a system where she could get a variety of food at a moment's notice petty much wherever she wanted. Everyone who'd been in the neighborhood over a year or so knew who the cat belonged to and all were guilty of buying a box of cat food for her.
