I'm currently in the process of relocating from Northeastern Vermont to Colorado (leaving a blue state for a red state - woo-hoo!). Very unfortunately, I can't bring all of my pets with me. I've contacted the local shelters, but was told that because neither of them are super young, they would have a great deal of trouble placing them, and since I wouldn't want to have them actually IN the shelter, I'm not willing to go that route. I also tried an on-line classifieds site (petfinder.org), but got some really kooky e-mails, so I took that ad down. I'm hoping FReepers will be more helpful!
About the cats: both are spayed females, completely up to date on their shots. They are both indoor only cats.
Cleo is an older Siamese mix, approaching eleven years old. She was declawed by people who had her before me. She is timid in new situations and with new people, but very, very affectionate once she's comfortable...her favorite bid for attention is a running head butt. ;-) She's my main FReeping companion - stays stationed near the computer. I suspect she may FReep when I'm out of the house, but I have no proof...
Halvah is a five year old Himalayan/Siamese cross. She has a very soft, short coat. Best of both breeds, really! She's very friendly and a little chatty - a testament to her Siamese ancestry. She's not at all shy.
Some pictures the ones of Halvah in particular aren't great because when she's awake, she rubs against my legs if I try to get near her with the camera. Doesn't sit still! ;-) And when she's asleep, her eyes are closed. Grrr...

Sorry, wish we could take them. But we have a lot right now & will be thinning out the pride in time, humanily I might add!

Bada Bump Bump Bump!
They're very bio-diverse, huh? ;o)
Good luck finding homes for those cute kitties, Rosie. Wish I weren't allergic to cats, or I'd offer to take em!
WOW--you're leaving a small mountain state for a big mountain state!! As a skier---that's awesome!!!
I'm really excited! There's a lot I'm leaving behind, but I have a lot to look forward to as well.
LOL!
Maybe S. V. can help you with some Vermont contacts?
I'd have to eat the stuff like candy! A friend of mine has two cats, and I can't even stay in her house for more than two hours before I start feeling the old airways closing up!
I gotta go for awhile... good luck!

My sister-in-law lives in Fairfield and is a sucker for any stray animal. You could try her, but don't ever tell her where you got her name. Freep mail me.
It'd be a small price to pay! ;-)
I just posted a note on the MA freepers page. Maybe someone will be looking for a cat.
Attractive.
I would love to adopt Halvah, but unfortunately, I'm down in northern Virginia, and it's probably pretty hard to arrange a pick-up/drop-off.
*shaking my head*
Actually airfreight is pretty easy to arrange, there would be a departure and arrival time not unlike air travel.
