猫 【求助】

[威威和姗姗]

威威今年2月份就满3岁了。 我们是两年前从animal shutter 把他领回家的。 威威很活泼， 个性有点像狗， 不怕生， 家里来客人是很愿意往人跟前凑。 平时喜欢趴在沙发扶手上跟人一块看电视。 冬天最爱窝在wood stove 旁边的椅子里烤火。 家里人都很喜欢他。 可惜的是老公对猫过敏（在专科医生那里做过测试）， 一开始的时候还不是很严重， 所以一直忍耐着。 今年入冬后就变得很糟， 不停的打喷嚏， 流鼻涕。眼睛也睁不开。 今天回家跟我说差点不能开车回家， 因为眼睛很难受。 叫我找地方把威威送走。 我心里很舍不得， 女儿更是躲到楼上哭去了。 不过也知道这是没办法的事。总不能眼睁睁地看着老公受苦。只是希望能给威威找到一户好人家。 能够爱他， 宠他。 威威是indoor cat， 不过对outdoor 也很好奇， 有机会也喜欢往外窜。 但从来不走远。晚饭时间习惯吃罐头，到时间会喵喵叫提醒人。 一般我们喂他三分之一个罐头（vet 建议的）。 其他时间吃猫粮。威威是fixed过的， 我们也有定期带他去打预防针。我们住在安省， Mississauga.如果有那位好心人愿意收留威威，我们愿意附送家里所有的猫罐头， 猫粮，cat litter box 和多桶cat litters 另外还有shampoo， 玩具， 以及一个自制的大猫树。只希望你能善待威威， 不要让他受苦。 我实在不愿意把他送回animal shutter。 他们把猫关在一个很小的笼子里， 不让他们出来活动， 真的好可怜。如果您需要了解更多关于威威的情况， 请PM我， 我一定及时回复。 在此先谢谢大家了。
附：本来想贴两张威威的照片， 不知道为什么半天贴不上， 如果您感兴趣， 请PM我， 我会给您发过去的。

很同情你的处境，也知道你的感受。因为我也对猫过敏，也到专科医生那儿做过测试，有一阵子严重到还有轻微的哮喘病状；我有两只猫，但是对他们的感情太深，送走是不可能的，所以就忍着, 然后在家里采取一些措施，比如经常地吸尘，经常给猫梳毛，自己也用点过敏药；时间长了，就好象好一些了，当然不会完全消除，因为过敏源还在。你的情况，要不再做做你老公工作；我觉得他说不能开车回家应该不会是猫引起的过敏症状吧，因为那时猫不在他身边他没有过敏源啊。。。或者你们可以先找个朋友家把威威寄养个把月，看看你他的过敏症状是不是有明显改善。反正先不要着急决定吧。。。。

理解你。我也对猫过敏，但是我发现只要摸完后立刻洗手，不用手碰眼睛过敏问题就不算很严重。吃anti－histamine的药也有效。

冬天不太开窗，室内空气不断循环过敏源又一直在所以会比较厉害。可以多开开窗，或者安装HRV不断更换室内空气。我们新家就一定会装HRV，节能不说主要是空气好。

各个Shelter一到冬天就告急，猫满为患。真送回去太可怜了。不知道你们密市的shelter是不是no kill，有的shelter因为经费问题，长期不被收养即使健康动物也会人道处死。望三思。

安慰一下，不知道有什么好办法。测试准么？如果对猫过敏，会永远过敏么？还是有解决办法？

真希望有比送走猫猫更好的办法。

[威威和姗姗]

问过一些同事和同学，暂时还没有找到。

很清秀的猫猫。
要不你去kijji 登个帖子吧，或者本地的华人论坛。应该会有人愿意收养的。

千万不要去Kijiji等地方，那些地方还不如Shelter呢。

你是说很多人去kijji上寻找小动物不是真心的？可以挑选一些真心愿意收养动物的人，可以给猫猫狗狗一个幸福家的。
如果送去shelter，没人领养怎么办，会不会被kill了？

不如到这里来，很多选择：www.petfinder.com

养猫可以去petfinder，不过我觉得狗狗在那不一定好找。猫猫很多的。我以前看好一只狗狗，交了申请，但是人家说狗狗有一些行为问题....

我去过我们这里的SPCA，好多人去领养。狗狗几乎都是大型犬。猫特别多。

那里有好几个小房间，把选中的动物带进去和你磨合一阵子，喜欢的就办申请领养。

Adopting a dog from the newspaper

In addition to responsible breeders and animal shelters, there are private owners looking to find good homes for their dogs. If you decide to adopt a dog from a classified ad, there are two things to consider. First, owners will sell their dog because it has health or behavioral problems. Second, the owner may not be upfront with you about these problems. This makes it important to examine the dog thoroughly before you commit to adopting him. He may not have problems, but you should be prepared.

Questions to ask
Do your homework. If the dog in question is purebred or a cross breed, research those breeds before you visit the owner. Make sure the characteristics of the breed fit your lifestyle and expectations. Before adopting the dog, here are some questions to ask:

Why are you giving the dog up?
The owner may not be honest if the dog has health or behavioral issues so be wary if he or she doesn’t have a compelling reason.

Has the dog ever bitten anyone or shown any aggression?
Be direct. You want to know up front if you might adopt a dog with problems. Also ask if there are any children in the house or nearby that play with the dog or care for him. If there’s a family involved, ask that they be present to see how they interact with their pet. Watching them can provide clues as to whether the dog is properly socialized and if the family is being honest about their reasons for selling him.

Who has been caring for the dog professionally?
This includes veterinarians, groomers, and pet sitters. If need be, these people can serve as references to verify that the dog is healthy and sociable and that the owner is being honest with you.

What’s the dog’s medical history?
Ask about vaccinations and worm treatments as well as other care he has received. If the owner has nothing in writing, ask for the name of their veterinarian to verify the dog’s health record.

Can I have the dog examined by my veterinarian?
Some owners will allow it and some won’t. Do it at your own expense and offer to take the owner with you so it doesn’t look like you’re running off with their pet.

Is there anything else I should know about the dog?
Get as much information as possible about the dog’s diet, grooming requirements, and whether he’s had any obedience training. Also ask whether he has special needs such as dietary supplements or medications. This will let you know what to expect after you bring him home. Purebreds should have a registration certificate and possibly a pedigree chart. Ask for any documentation before you decide to adopt the dog.

Check health and temperament
Perform the examinations necessary when choosing a puppy from a litter. Check ears, eyes, nose, and coat for any problems. Watch the dog for signs of pain or discomfort in motion, which may signal orthopedic problems. In the process, get a feel for his temperament as best you can under the circumstances.

Be patient and objective when talking with the owner and looking over the dog. You don’t want to offend him or her and lose out on the chance to adopt a dog that’s perfect for you.

Unlike responsible breeders and rescue organizations, people who place classified ads may not be concerned with how good of a match you are for their dog. You’ll need to be the one to decide if you’re the right person for the job.

请问在这里领养需要花钱吗?

有领养费，领养之前猫猫们会体检，打疫苗，除虫，绝育。每个猫猫都多少有一些资料，但是大多数之前的背景也不太清楚。
到那里领养倒是个不错的选择，因为你去一次，可以看到n多猫猫，很容易选中一只你喜欢的。
当然在分类广告上，也可能选到理想的，不过要挨家联系，去看，有的主人可能不诚实，隐瞒猫猫的一些不好的方面。 这种途径，要碰运气。

需要啊，但是领养费其实就是个形式，里面包括预防针，除虫等，有的还包括节育的coupon。
免费的东西多不珍惜，所以shelter无论如何都要收点费用。
