Facebook Kitten


Kristine Alessio
 

We know that many of you were following the saga of the kitten that was raffled on Facebook by A1 Savannahs and then given to an owner in Las Vegas. ?We have an update. ?

For those not familiar with the "Facebook Kitten" ?here is her story. ?A1 Savannahs ran a promotion to get 1,000 fans on Facebook, the reward for becoming a fan was the possibility of a free Savannah kitten. ?They apparently kept track of all the people who because fans and then held a raffle/lotto (whatever you want to call it) among those people who became fans.

A young man in Las Vegas won the kitten and Kathrin Stucki flew to Las Vegas and delivered him the kitten. ?This is all documented on their Facebook page. ?The young man was allergic to the kitten apparently and quickly gave it to his friend. ?The friend was ill equipped to deal with an energetic young kitten in his apartment so after doing some research on pricing they decided to sell he kitten on Craigslist for $800.00.

Soon after we were informed that the kitten was on Craigslist and sleuthed around a bit and verified that this was indeed the kitten that had been the subject of the giveaway by A1 Savannahs on Facebook. ?At that time looking at home this kitten was now on its second home and really in need of a proper home, we made the decision to use Savannah Rescue's reserve funds to purchase the kitten. ?Savannah Rescue was given the kitten, her carrier and all the paperowrk which the give away winner received from A1 Savannahs. ?She is a good little kitten, very tiny, her health certificate says she was born February 19, 2010, yet when Savannah Rescue took possession of her on May 15th, she weighed only 1 lb 13 oz. ?

Savannah Rescue does not lay blame at the two young guys who ended up with the kitten, they were just young guys who thought "cool a Savannah kitten", we are however dismayed that A1 Savannahs would hold such a promotion and then send off an unaltered female kitten to just whomever won the promotion. ?She did not come with her papers either )-:

As soon as she weighs enough to be spayed, we intend to have her spayed and will also offer her up for adoption. ?We are currently seeking donations to replenish our bank account and if you would be interested in making a donation, our paypal address is?payment@....

As a reminder, she still needs to be spayed and vetted and IS NOT a candidate for adoption yet. ?But, we thought everyone here would appreciate knowing her story and about her (-:
