FREE TWO-LEGGED KITTEN - no fees!
Date: 2010-06-18, 2:54PM

Is there anyone out there who would consider adopting a retarded kitten? This kitty was born without her hind legs. Amazingly, she gets around really well but its heartbreaking watching her pull herself around my house all the time. She has a wonderful personality and purrs almost constantly...but she does need a great deal of time and attention--neither of which I have enough of at this point. Her name is Peanut. I wish I could keep her. No rehoming fees or any of that silly stuff. I'm sure no one out there wants a retarded kitten but I thought I would give this a shot before taking her to the vet to have her put to sleep... Thanks.

Has anybody been successful in emailing this poster about Peanut or knows what happened with this kitten. I have tried to email but have been my attempts failed. Diana

[Christine]

I just tried also. I wish there was another way to contact this person. The kitten is adorable. I am not much on Craig's List, but the rescuers always say not to put animals on it. I hope we can help this little thing.

I've asked SCAT if anybody was able to get in touch with them.

Sent a second email to poster - no reply. Thought I would try Googling the subject and got this:

The maddening part is when you try to see the rest of the message, it takes you to the post which says the listing has been removed.

In this same search, someone on Facebook posted about the kitten, so I wrote to her and asked if she knew the status. I pray that someone who cares took the kitten!

[Bendy Kitty]

sometimes google offers you the option of seeing the cached version, you might try that.
i hope someone took the kitten.

[Christine]

No cached version available, no answer from the Facebooker, but I found another discussion board talking about the kitten and wrote to two people who posted there. Everyone is concerned about the kitten, we have all written to the poster and no one has received an answer. They had a rescue all set to take her. We've promised to update the others if we ever get an answer.

[critters]

Nobody from SCAT heard back either.

Check out the kitten in this post at http://washingtondc.craiglist.org/doc/p ... 53959.html and see if she looks vaguely familiar. I was wondering if this was legit when I first read it and the poster referred to the cat as the "retarded" kitten. Diana

[Bendy Kitty]

that's her again.
I emailed her through the craigslist add, we'll see if she responds. it could be a hoax, we will see.
