Pumpkin found a home in are area!

thanks i will talk to my mom.Thanks so Much for the info.
please call me Nikki

Nikki,

I just got an email from Pet Air. Here's what they said.


$150 covers all airline expenses and Pet Air charges except for the additional fees and expenses listed below. Additional fees and expense: Due to current high fuel cost there may be a fuel surcharge on each order. Fuel surcharges will be determined once a reservation is made. Insuring your pet shipment against loss or theft is available for an additional fee. The average cost of insurance is only $1.00 per $100 in valuation, we think this is a great value and highly recommend it. Pet Air provides the shipper with a shipping packet that contains preprinted air way bills, flight plans, and shipping instructions. Shipping packets are send via Fed Ex. The Fed Ex fee of approx. $16 will be added to the above price. If receiver is paying for the shipment there is a minimum additional $20 fee.

Let me know what you and your Mom decide. ;)

I just got off the phone with Nikki's (Zippy) mom. VERY nice lady. I gave her the number of the airline that will transport Pumpkin. Hopefully this will come together very nicely. She's going to do her part to get the ball rolling. We spoke about what Pumpkin eats, her litter, etc.

I also explained to her that Pumpkin will have to be separated from my cats until she becomes acclamated. If for some odd reason it doesn't work out, I have a friend that will post her on her rescue website. But I am POSITIVE that it will work out.

I'm looking forward to seeing Pumpkin and hope that the transition will be successful. I'll keep you all posted on the whole scenario. :D :D

Awesome news Donna, fingers and paws all crossed here for all to go well,Pumpkin is one lucky kitty,I am sure she will fit in fine with the furfamily, here's hoping, keep us updated pretty please, thanks. :)

Thank you so much Donna :D :D :D

and everone esle who gave advice and help :) :) :)

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!

Donna, I live minutes from Zippy. I am driving to Ohio/Michigan on the 17th.
I can ask my father when he gets home if this kitty can come along.
We can get her as far as OH/MI if you can get someone else to pick her up.

If Zippy can bring this cat to me, more than likely my father's answer would be yes.

Please let me know ASAP. As I said, we're leaving on the 17th - I work the 15th & 16th. I would need the cat brought to me either Saturday, Sunday, or sometime after 3:00 on Monday & Tuesday.

Kayann,

Thank you so much!! That is such a generous offer. I only wished for this one particular moment that I still lived in Michigan. Unfortunately, I'm 663 miles away in Connecticut.

Yes but you all were trying to plan a transport? Can't someone(s) drive from Ohio/Connecticut/whatever? I would get the cat pretty far up there. There are many PT'ers and I'm sure cat rescuers between Ohio and New York.

It would be silly to stress the cat over a plane ride and waste the money on a carrier, airefare, etc.


Oh well, just my opinion, guess it's not needed here.

Good luck ladies.

Kayann,

Please don't take offense. We're just trying to figure out the best and fastest way to get Pumpkin to me. Setting up a transport takes alot of time and energy not to mention gas which is over $3 a gallon now.

Petair specializes in transporting pets all over the country, so it's not like a commercial airline that costs and arm and a leg and the animals are in a cargo compartment. It's actually cheaper than driving.

I did have a thought though. If you guys are going to Ohio for the bash and Paul and Karen are going to be there, maybe THEY could bring her back to Mass with them and I could drive up there to get her. Just a thought.

Again, don't take offense. We're trying to do whatever we can to get Pumpkin here the quickest way possible.

Whatever you say.

As I said, as long as someone can drive the rest of the way from OH to CT, or wherever. The only thing is, we are leaving 11 days before the meeting and camping. I don't think the cat would be happy in a carrier that long.

Probably not. But thanks for the offer anyway.

Thanks that is very kind of you but we are setting it up for Pumpkin to travel by air to Donna.The wheels are already moving.

Ohhhkay. :|


Good luck to poor Pumpkin.

Wow - Doogie was with Donna and became a Florida cat with Val, and now a Flrida cat will become a potential Connecticut cat!

I was thinking the same thing! :)

And remember the Cajun boys that were in Louisiana and were flown to Massachuttes where Carla and Mike (Catfamily) adopted them. I also shipped two more via a transporter going north for far less than flying.

This is another PT miracle happening and I can't wait until she is safely in her new forever home. This is just so thrilling, I pray for it to work for everyone without a hitch! Donna, she is one lucky girl to have you take her in! Yaaaaa! ....and Zippy can keep up with her here!! What more can you ask for?

I'm really getting excited about Pumpkin coming. I'm sure it'll work out with the crew. I mean heck, look at all the fosters I've had come and go. If you do the introduction right, things will work out.

And don't worry, I'll post pictures and give updates every chance I get.

Hey Nikki,

Any word on the Pumpkin plans yet?? BTW, does she like covered litterboxes?? That's what I use cuz my cats dig to China. Let me know, okay??

Yes mom sent in here papers to the flypets.com.Should hear someting soon.Pumpkin has alwas had covered litter boxes.

Cool!!! I can promise you that she'll have the best home ever and I'll give you all the uppydates and pictures you want. Put your mind at ease, girl. She'll be spoiled rotten.

Nikki,

Just checking in for an update on Pumpkin. If you can give me a rough estimate as to when she'll be flying out and when I need to be at Bradley, it would be appreciated, as I'll have to get the time off from work.

Donna

Still waiting to here back for flypets.com
it would have to be mid month of june

I've just finished reading all the posts about Pumpkin. It's amazing how much we love our furrkids, even those we haven't met yet. I wish there was someway I could help, but I'm in Alabama. As for Pumpkin, if she's as loving as my Orange Tabby, she will be a sweetie!

I can't wait until she makes it to her new home! Good luck to everyone involved.

UPDATE:Found Pumpkin a home in are area.Thank you donna but we found her a home here
