Where in NJ is he? That might help, if someone realizes how close these kitties are. NJ is a long state, north-to south, so narrowing it down would be good!

whitepages.com identifies the number as a cell phone, Verizon Wireless in Trenton NJ. Not sure if he is near or in Trenton, though.

People often have cell phone numbers that are local to, for example, their workplace or family, not necessarily where they currently live.

Yeah, I know- that's why I said I wasn't sure if he was in or near Trenton. Is there a military base in NJ somewhere?

Ironically, in Trenton, ON we have a military base - CFB Trenton.

Maybe someone in NJ could just phone the guy?

He is probably pretty central. Fort Dix is about an 45 minutes east of Philly...straight over. It is considered south Jersey, but if you aren't from here it looks pretty central. I soooo wish that we weren't moving!! I would take these 2 in a second! If there is no other options, I could take them for a month or so until something comes up. It is just such chaos here with trying to get rid of furniture and pack everything else. When is he deploying?? I could pick them up since we are only about 5 minutes from Fort Dix...like I said, I would just need to find other arrangements within about a month.

I currently have 2 cats that I am fostering for a reservist over in Iraq. I belong to a group of homes across the country that fosters until the soldier makes other arrangements or comes back from their deployment.

If someone is interested in registering for the group I would be more than happy to talk with them about my experiences.

I am so sorry that I have not been able to reply to your questions on the thread until today!!

I call the number give and left a message on the voice mail. I left my home number and the site Operation Noble Foster. I live in the Flemington area, and he brings his cats to my vet in Flemington. I was told that he is suppose to deploy in June. As soon as I hear from him and get more info, I will let you know what I find out! Sorry to keep you all guessing.....

I am sorry to report that I have not received a return phone call yet......

[emily_the_spoiled]

He might not be in a position to call yet. He may be doing field training, so he can only call when he is back on base.
