Heads up bulletin: Stray or lost kitten??? In prestigious Trabue House section

Technical difficulties delay the posting of a photo, but here is advance notice for anyone desperately seeking a high class - but not Dr. Rogers' kitten - found on prestigious Jamestown Hill. This announcement is presented prematurely because of the rare opportunity the adoption of this special kitten from the Trabue House neighborhood. Jane Aaron vouches that this is a special kitten. -CM

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Hi, Ed! This kitten (photo forthcoming; stay tuned -CM) was crying in distress for almost an hour yesterday while I was working in my Mother's yard. She finally came out from beneath Dr. Roger's deck, but doesn't belong to him. She's very obviously used to people, and was extremely hungry. Could you put her on Col. Mag. & help find her owner or a new owner?

I hope she'll still be at Mother's house this morning - we couldn't let her inside due to Willie, Mother's big Tom cat - so: The owner can talk to Virginia Gadberry, who stays there. I'll ask if that's OK with Virginia & get back 2 u. (More contact code later)
