Received a phone call back from the dog warden.... Bailey is at the vet's for a long weekend. Apparently he wasn't feeling well and was vomiting and so he will be at the vet getting fluids and such, and should be back at the shelter early in the week. I'll call on Monday and see how the poor old guy is. When they feel he's safe enough to travel, I'll go and grab him. He probably stopped eating from depression is my guess, and they might have tried to force him to eat. :( :( Hopefully the little guy pulls through, and I can get him early in the week.
Prayers needed for this little guy!

Wow! They never called me. Maybe it's because I live so far away. Let me know how you make out, Jenn.
I haven't gotten any phone calls back. I know how crowded the foster homes are these days too. It stinks. :(
-
Jenn, I swear to God, you are a life saver for these precious animals. It doesn't matter if you can only keep him a short time, the fact is that you have made an effort to pull him out of the shelter.
I pray that he is going to be okay so you can go and get him.
I'm sending you a PM. :D
-
Oh Donna - I hope you hear from the Munchkin rescue! Are they maybe closer to Jenn than you are?
Prayers for the little fellow!

Still no word on Bailey.... :(
I emailed again (of course the first time no one responded... I swear they never do). Will call tomorrow during their shelter hours as well.
Hope he is doing ok.

I can't understand it. I've placed a call to the shelter everyday this week and no response. I'm HOPING Bailey got adopted and there's nothing seriously wrong with him.
-
GRRR!!! ARRRGGHHH!!! Why have a phone when you don't answer it and just let everything go to voice mail?!
This infuriates me to no end!
The Humane Society here in Allentown does the same thing, and they don't have email either. Ugh.
Still impatiently waiting....

I sent you a PM. I received a call from the shelter and she said Bailey is still there. I told her I'd have you call them as soon as possible. She said they tried to call you and got a recorded message "unable to complete call as dialed". I told her you were located in PA and that's probably why.
Please call Jessica at 908-725-0308 asap. I told her we would be taking Bailey and she needed to talk to you since you live far closer than I do.
She also told me that no one has showed any interest in Bailey because everyone is looking for kittens.
Please let me now how you make out. I can probably foster Bailey once I'm in my new place which won't be till the second weekend in August.
I tried to call you but there was no answer and no machine to take a message. :(

Jennie is having phone line issues. :(

Jenluckenbach,
Thanks for letting me know. I've sent her an email as well. Hopefully I'll reach her.

As of right now, my phone line is almost non-existent. The company is bankrupt, and we got an email saying "Find new service now." Sigh.
Sunday is booked for me all day. Adoption day in another city and then I have a meet and greet for an FIV+ kitty later in the day. That kitty needs to get shots, and not sure when the shelter can schedule it, or if they will pick him up and take him there (they want to use one almost an hour away because it's cheaper :rolleyes: well, if it's my gas we're using, it's not cheaper for me!).
Also don't have the cash right now either. Had to give money to Verizon to set up an account for new service with the, although they can't guarantee it because they need to verify 911 coverage for broadband in my area. So, if it doesn't go through I'll be reimbursed, but I had to put the money out from my debit card upfront. gotta love it.
Only cash I have at my disposal at this moment is a home equity line of credit that is considered a cash advance at about 24% interest. I really really don't want to do that. If they took a credit card, I could use the one I have 0% interest on, but they want cash or check.
Finances are tight right now. Payday is on Thursday and my mortgage payment is overdue. Wells Fargo is not happy with me. Sigh.
Also, we'd need to figure out where Bailey would be staying because I have no where to put him if he doesn't like other kitties. If Precious doesn't stay at PetSmart tomorrow, or isn't adopted tomorrow, I have no empty rooms. Ally would beat him up, and the other cats upstairs are FIV+. I had thought originally, when this all started, that you had a foster place for him, all I needed to do was bail him out. I wonder if they would spring him for free if they knew I was with a rescue??? Can you ask her that??

Jenn,
I'll call them Tuesday on my day off. I'm still trying to get ahold of my friend at Helping Paws. She's at a cat show in Wisconsin for the weekend. Maybe she can foster him till I move. :(

I received an email from a gentleman named John Gill who asked me about Bailey. He lives a half hour away from the shelter and is picking Bailey up on Saturday. He's going to send me pictures once Bailey settles in.
WOOHOO!!!! Bailey will now have a furrrever home!!!
Have a great life, Bailey.

I am going to pick up Bailey tomorrow. We are glade to add a sweet boy to our crew.
All of the our animals over the last 25 years have been strays this will be the first from a shelter.
We have gone through 16 years with a diabetic (Patches), 4 FIV kittens ( Chocolate, Brutus, Tiger, & Morris). We try to give our family all the love and care they need. The crew as I stands now all came from our grounds, except Chessie he was born in a friend’s barn.
