Melissa - Have you contacted them to see how the kittens and cat are doing and to ask if they have never had a cat adoption or if that's only recently?

The black & white is placed. He will be in the company of Fendi. The new dad is looking forward to welcoming him.
That's wonderful news and must be a great weight off Melissa's mind.Quote:

I was wondering how the kittens & black/white male cat are doing. Are the 2 smaller kittens any calmer or being friendly? How is the wound looking on the black/white male? Thank you, Melissa..
This was her reply yesterday afternoon:
it's been two days so no there really isn't a change someone is deciding to foster them most likely in a few days so we'll see how it goes. If good they might keep them and he's getting cream for it so should heal up fine.
So that's all I know for right now. I'm hoping that someone will take them in but I hope they have experience as well too because they need a lot of care and love.

I sent this reply to the rescue on Aug. 5th
Would you or someone that volunteers/works for you be able to take the black/white cat to the vets to get combo tested and checked out? If you let me know how much that would be I can see about getting either my friend to help pay for his visit or something. I wasn't able to find any vets that could see him on Aug. 13th which is when I'd like to pick him up if that's ok but I need to make sure he's negative for FIV/FELV. If this isn't an option please let me know and I might pick him up sooner, I'm not sure just yet.
I didn't hear anything so on Aug. 8th I sent another message:
HI - Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got my message about getting the black/white male to the vets to have him checked out and the shots, combo test, etc. and we'd pay the $25 for him then?
Still didn't hear anything....
On Aug. 10th I sent this message:
I sent you an e-mail @ ....yahoo.com can you please get back to me by that way. Thank you.
She has continued to post on facebook and didn't reply to any of my messages so I figured on Friday, Aug. 12th I was going to message her by Facebook to see if she had anything to say or if I was going to be ignored.
Here is my message to her:
Hi,How are the 3 kittens doing? Does someone have them in their home? If so would it be possible to get an update from them on how they are doing?
Her response:
they're fine. the kittens are still here. the grey one actually let your pet it without it getting too angry the orange is still pretty feral. and the black one is here but unhappy with being enclosed instead of running around..
My response:
That's great to hear. Yeah the orange one was pretty cranky. Did you happen to get the black/white male to a vet and if so was he combo tested?
Her response:
we've been trating his wound with ointment we've gotten from the vet. Unfortunately as far as the combo test and the black cat and the other cat goes we will be unable to combo test him and then adopt him out to your contact. We are a strictly donation and private funding only. For us to spend the amount of the vet visit/tests required and then have the adoption fee be $25.00 (even with the discount we get) just wouldn't be feasible for us. The person willing to adopt him can gladly take him and then do their own tests and we will waive the $25.00 but as I said we cannot do it any other way at this time...
As far as the orange cat and the gray one. The gray one will most likely be able to be places easily as it is starting to warm up. Unfortunately everyone has kittens and cats around here and it will be awhile I feel before they are placed. The orange one we'll see, when a cat has been feral for so long it's going to either stay mostly feral or not be a very good housecat. But we shall see as our animal worker tries....
I must say though and I don't mean this in a rude way at all but our rescue is small as I said and is a minor part of what I do here as I run the other main business and if I dont' reply I apologize but I am the 2nd in command of the company and sometimes I just do not have the time or answers for you. So if I do not reply please don't write and write as I will get back to you...
My response:
I understand that you are a very busy person and I wasn't trying to irritate you. I was simply trying to figure out if I was going to transport this black/white male cat this weekend or not, that's really all I was trying to find out. I will just leave the black/white cat with you. I do apologize and my sister and I are grateful that you were able to help us by taking them in. I would appreciate it though if we could get an update from time to time on how things are going (such as adopted, etc)? Would that be ok?
Her response:
it's I'm not upset or anything just explaining. That's absolutely fine. They should be fine. We've had about 20 more cat/kitten take in requests and unfortunately we're just loaded now. With dogs as well.
My response:
If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. I can try to help by cross-posting if you want to send me a link from time to time. If the orange guy continues to be nasty I can try to find a friend of mine who can take him in and try to tame him a bit if needed. Thank you again and let me know if I can be of any help.
Her response:
sounds good. you can post them off the website i know we have to try to get their pictures up but our girl is out this week.
And last my response:
Ok take care and thank you again. ta ta.
