[OhioLBA General] Are you a friend of Dorothy?

[Holly]

Many of you may know Dorothy H, the editor of the Lesbian Health News, which
has been in publication for over 10 years. Dorothy has also been very
involved in our community in many capacities, including at the Ohio Lesbian
Festival.

 

What some of you may not know is Dorothy went into the hospital last
September, the night of the festival. She has not been home since. She has
gone back and forth from the hospital to the rehab facility to the hospital
and back again. She is now at a Specialty Hospital and is working on her
recovery.

 

My reason for writing is two-fold:

 

First, and most urgent, Dorothy has two cats who need a good home, no later
than February 23. Both are fixed, one is female, the other male. They are
both indoor only cats. The youngest, a yellow tiger, Cleo, is 4 is super
affectionate and loving. She would do well in nearly any situation. The
other is Jimmy a medium haired white and grey cat. Jimmy is older (about 8)
shy and reserved and needs a quiet and calm home with no kids and no dogs.
He would do best with someone who is home most of the time. We would like to
help cover Cleo and Jimmy's costs incurred over the last couple of months.
We will be asking for an adoption fee for each of them, but rather than use
this for their costs it will be a donation to the Cat Welfare Association in
Columbus, Ohio. We will also be interviewing prospective owners, asking for
vet and personnel references, will check them, and will visit the new home
where they might be living. It is very important to Dorothy that her
precious kitties find a good and safe home.

 

If you, or someone you know, would be interested in adopting one or both of
these wonderful kitties, please email me. I will be looking for the best fit
for both of these kitties, so I'll have some questions for you. I'm
committed to finding the best home for both of them and also to solving any
potential barriers to their adoption.

 

My second reason is to find someone who would be willing to take over the
Lesbian Health News. Dorothy is no longer able to do this herself. She would
like to remain as an advisor, as her health allows, but is willing to
completely turn over the reigns to her successor. LHN is currently on hiatus
until someone else can take over. If we cannot find someone, then its most
recent publication will have been its last.

 

Please try to help us find a home(s) and an editor!

Cleo, Jimmy & Dorothy

 

By way of your Ohio LBA Webmistress,

Holly
