Hobo The Homless Kitty
Ever have a vocation that just won't leave you? My husband and I opened and ran a home for homeless women in San Francisco a few years back. We had an incredible time, inviting women who were living in the streets to come in and get a fresh start. To everything there is a season, and that season eventually ended. Now I sell homes - ironic eh?I got a call from an agent who lives and works about an hour north of here (Stockton, California). He had a listing in Stockton for a big old Victorian that a company he works for previously used as a group home. He wanted me to take the listing over since I lived in the same town as the property and could perhaps provide better service on it. Naturally, I agreed!Upon my first visit to the home, I made an interesting discovery. Although it was supposed to be 'vacant', it did indeed have a resident. A big, beautiful gray kitty who immediately became known as 'Hobo - The Homeless Kitty'. I called animal control and they wouldn't come pick her up. I called the local cat shelter and they said I would have to 'catch' her and put her in a cage before they would pick her up. Hobo was having NONE of that! There was no catching her. Finally, I decided since the weather was beautiful, she needed to become an outdoor cat. However, Hobo was a wiley one! No matter how many times I invited her to 'step outside' and no matter how fast I closed the door, she always found her way back in!I'm sure when we find a buyer and a home inspection is performed, the inspector will figure out how she keeps getting back in. In the meantime, I've brushed up on my 'helping the homeless' skills and... added Purina Cat Chow to my list of tax deductible expenses!Comments By Karlahttp://www.agent-connection.com
