My daughter living in a Lowell,MA apartment complex saw that a neighbor 
when evicted left his two young cats to fend for themselves in the empty
(except for clutter) apartment for 3 days. She found them, fed them and
tried to find homes for them, but to no avail. She cannot keep them as
she has a full grown cat already and lives in a one-bedroom apt. I have
temporarily taken one of the cats but both need permanent homes.

Both cats seem to be about 6-8 months old. They are supposed to be 
from the same litter. Both seem to have been rather poorly nourished
and currently have ravinous appetites. 

The first cat, the one at my house, is a fluffy, looks part Persian all
white cat. Her tail is real big and fluffy; funny though her head is not
the shape of a Persian. She is completely white with one blue eye and one
yellow eye...definately a mix breed. Sadly, she is also deaf. She is very
loving and has done real well with my 6 year old. It is hard for my son to
deal with the deafness of the cat and even harder for my husband who has
some physical restrictions in moving around. "Cream" as she was called by
the "animal" who abandoned her, has a rather loud meow and in my opinion 
would be an EXCELLENT companion for some person who is either 1) accustomed
to working and living with deaf pets or 2) is hearing impaired as well.
She seems to be healthy now that she is eating but I know nothing of her
medical history.

The "other" cat had been named "Cookies" by the previously named animal.
Although I have not met him/her my daughter says he/she has been almost
fun to have around, if it weren't for Cricket, her own cat. Cookies was
previously identified as a male, but my daughter has not found any proof
of that so far and wants me to stop by to investigate later... but in any
event the same goes for his/her medical history ... who knows? Cookies has
a rather timid meow and is not as much a long hair cat as Cream. He/she is
jet black with the only white being a single white whisker. 

We really do not want either of these cats to have to go to the shelter. Cream
especially I am afraid would have difficulty in being adopted and they are
too nice of cats to be destroyed. Both are extremely affectionate and just 
are waiting for new homes.

If you can, please answer via e-mail as I don't always get a chance to read
the news.

I appreciate your help with this.
