Need PT Help - Emma & Annie need GOOD homes. (Can we help Gini?)

[phesina]

Thanks, Vicki. I just sent the general information on to my friend. I'll let you know what happens.

We WILL get the most wonderful new home for these two dear kitties!

I contacted two musician friends who live in LA. I asked them to put the word out!

[Karen]

I spoke to my friend in mid-northern California, and another in Oregon, just in case!

Does anyone know any of the firefighters who attened Gini's BBQs? Maybe they would know someone.

They were contacted initially by Phred, so sadly, we do not have their contact info.

Thanks everyone. I posted this plea on The Cat Site and have gotten some leads of where to start.

You might want to go through the list of Los Angeles Shelters and Rescue Groups on Petfinder and contact them to see if one can help:

So this is where I plan to start tomorrow and make phone call after phone call. A friend of mine suggested tonight that perhaps Annie and Emma might do well in another quiet home with a senior so tomorrow I will research to see if any shelters have a "seniors for seniors" program.

Today has not been a good day mentally for me so I've been a little teary eyed all day. Must try and get to bed early enough to have a good sleep.

Nite all!

I can't do much, but praying for the kitties and hoping for the best for them.

I have found one shelter that will take them in, but for $500 each. I understand how overrun shelters are these days but I'm afraid $1000 USD is a bit too rich for my blood.

I can't figure out how to senda pm from my phone, so I'll have to wait until I get home. Alternately I can be reached by text at if someone needs to get in touch sooner than 5pm. I am currently working on procuring a kitty condo for them to stay in.

My cousins daughter said she needs to talk to her boyfriend. Should I tell her never mind since we don't think they'd be okay with kids??

I think my question got lost when I posted at the same time as someone else. What should I tell my cousin?

You can tell your cousin they have a potential foster home so it need not be an emergency. The girls, as far as I know have not been around kids, so we do not know whether they would be good with them or not. It likely depends on how old the kids are, and whether they can be nice to a couple older girls!

I wasn't referring to anyone specifically. I just noticed the thread started to turn it's focus off the kitties just a little. That's all. Not just you and Staci, but what Staci was referring to about people (not necessarily you) bad mouthing the brothers. Anyone not concentrating on the efforts of helping Emma and Annie. The brothers are who they are and we aren't going to change anything about them or their actions. Again, the focus is the kitties. Right?

I couldn't agree more. I know feelings are hurt and we're all angered/annoyed at the turn this has taken. But, the main focus is Annie and Emma. Mike (the brother from Boston) is the person making these decisions…he has A LOT on his plate with Gini's estate and his own life on the other side of the country. Quite honestly, I don't think he's an animal person. He's doing what he's doing for Annie and Emma FOR GINI. They pretty much are his responsibility and while I don't agree with setting crazy deadlines for 2 ex-feral cats that are overweight and older….its not up to me. I appreciate and am grateful they didn't just drop them off at a kill-shelter without telling anyone. He does care, but isn't like us - to him I think animals are just pets. So we aren't even on the same page in that respect. Bill and the housekeeper (bless her!) are feeding and caring for them. When Bill and Mike are not there due to the holidays (etc), the neighbor, Gladys is looking in on them. Mike is making sure they are cared for in that way. I just don't understand the deadline.

OK, back to home finding. My finals are done, so I have more time now. My Mom says she'll go with me to pick them up and take them to the state border (in any direction) - that's as far as I can physically handle, unless its somewhere just over the border.


Update since I started typing this:
Cathy (snakemama) and I have been 'talking' via text. She's in CA and is offering to put them in a kitty condo in her nice and quiet feed store. The exposure to all her customers would help them find a home. I think that would be nice. Going to talk it over with Slick to see what she thinks.

A GIGANTIC THANK YOU to Cathy (snakemama) for offering this solution to us!

[slick]

Holy crapola........ I'm crying over here. In a nice quiet store is just where I think they would be OK. I think Annie might take longer to adjust but they will get the exposure they so desperately need.

Kelly: Will gladly pay for the transport.
Cathy: Will gladly give you some money in Gini's honour for their care.

It's the least I can do.

Oh, that's great! So hope this works out, at least they will be safe until they find a forever home!
