If you keep eating so much Lucky, the clinic may just run out of food! :D Then you'll have to stay on there doing kitchen duty...get those lil' gloves on so you don't get soggy toes. ;) Nothing like dishpan toes LOL! Glad to hear that Lucky boy's doing so well, and that Kevlin & Rhonda are willing to keep fostering them for a wee bit! :D Thanks for all the wonderful uppy-dates Phred.
I just wanted to say that I tried phoning a couple of times and the line was always busy ... must be all those PTer's. But I finally managed to get through a put a little bit towards Lucky's bill. It isn't much, but I figure that every little bit helps.
Now we just have to find them a home...

We just walked in the door with Lucky. Took a picture of him at the Clinic with April & Nicole Hope I spelled it right. He does look much better still a little skinny and upon putting him in his room with Louie he went stright to the food dish. Of course while trying to eat brother Louie decided to give him a welcome hug, and Lucky didn't like it to much he fussed and Louie went back and laid down. Soon as I get more pics I will find someone who knows how to post them and I will e-mail them Pics to post...... I just wanted everyone to know he is home and again thank you all so much.
Welcome home Lucky!!!!
Can't wait to see pictures.
Yeay!!! Lucky is home! Thank you so much for letting us know:) It will be GREAT to see some pictures. Hope the brothers get to snuggling again soon.
:cool:

Dusty Kat, Rhonda, and Kelvin for sharing their Home with
these PT Boys!!
/s/ Phred

What great photos! Yes, I would love to see a pic of Dr. Adams who was so nice to talk to me on the phone for at least 20+minutes monday night at 1am my time and again for a several minutes the next am. I felt she was receptive to all my questions and willing to explore all possible problems with Lucky and very sensitive to the situation overall- and her bedside manner- though I wasn't there, to me anyway, seemed very cat acute and empathetic! If I live in LA, she would be my vet! Well jan and I got some websites tonight on some transports (one in pet finder that doesn't look to do so well so is discouraging when you read the posts) But will go to all the sites we found anyway. On my way home, a 40 minute ride, my car broke down. Luckily, I only had to walk 5 blocks to a train and wait only 1 hour till 10pm to get home but am now car-less till I dunno when. Where I live, there are no buses etc, just a train. Argh. I did try to call vet from jan's (QSL) but they were closed. Thanks all for contributions! Next step is getting homes and keeping Dusty's People afloat with food and litter! (sorry you guys are strapped with 2 cats but glad you are willing to hang on to them! You must be glad to have Lucky home- he is VERY cute!)
YIPPEE!!!! Lucky is "home"! He looks so relaxed and he sure looks a lot better.
Kevin and Rhonda- It is so wonderful of you all to take in these two precious boys for now. I know you have your hands full with your own and catsitting for your mom. Your house must be starting to look like mine!!!;) :D It's a wonderful thing that you all have done and are still doing. Thank you so much for being such wonderful people.:)
Phred- How can we thank you for being so great with the updates and picture posts? You are wonderful and we thank you so much. We know your special prayers have really helped this little guy.
Leslie- the fact that you were willing to step in and take on this financial responsibility for a kitty you've never seen shows just what a very special person you are! I hope that the donations have relieved you of the majority of that. It sounds like you are going to need it now that your car is down! You are a very special lady.
Isn't this place awesome? Those who couldn't offer financial assistance have been offering lots of support and prayers. There are so many wonderful people here that I find it overwhelming! I know I've said it a million times but here it comes again....I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!:D :D :D
Awww what terrific pictures! Lucky looks like he's had a rough week, but is very happy to have survived at all! :eek: Can we send the neighbor who threw them out all the bills, and then have a PT get-together somewhere? :confused: :D I'll bring some wet cat food! :D Wishful thinking I know. :( I'd also like to thank all who've contributed with monetary donations, purrayers, of course Kevlin & Rhonda, the Docs who got Lucky through this, Phred for the uppy-dates (always humor packed :D ) and Leslie for doing so much for a kitty she's never met...but somehow she'll get to meet soon. Working on some transport to Mass. ;) Anyone that has ideas on that please let us know! ;)
Oh Great News!!
Thanks Kevin and Phred - full report and photos much appreciated.
How contented Lucky looks - such a sweetie-pie :D :D
Lynne
Ok here is todays up date.......... We asked the Doc yesterday if Lucky would be ok around all the other pets. They said he would be OK to be around so the next pictures will be him exploring the home. All I can say is whoever is lucky enough to end up with the boys They are going to have a LAPCAT on there hands. Lucky loves to be held like a baby. So again thanks to all of you..
How much of the bill is still owed? Are they still accepting donations. I haven't been on in awhile and I just saw all of this.
Thanks,
Lauren, Kenny, Honey, Orion, Caeleigh, & Chloe
Yes Donations are still being taken for all the information private message Leslie or Cinder & Smoke and they can give you the information
It's wonderful that Lucky is doing much better now, and that the vets could help him. And it's great he's back home!!
Regarding donations: I would like to help, but I can't give much (my unemployment money has been cut down, and I still have to pay 140 € for Luna's vet bill). And I would have to send the money by mail (since money transfers to foreign countries are VERY expensive from Germany), would that be okay?

I haven't been on PT since last wednesday and look at what I missed.
With all the PT prayers, little Lucky has pulled through. YAY!!!!!!
The PT'ers coming together to help this precious little one, even though it isn't one of our own. Doesn't really surprise me, as all you guys are awesome.
I hope I am not too late with the donations. I'll pm Leslie for details.
Stay well Lucky and hugs and kisses to you little one.
Gee, with work being a zoo... I missed this wonderful thread! Amazing story folks!
Catnapper- it has been more than amazing! I hope you are able to find time to go to earlier threads (posted by dustys people and cinder and smoke in previous pages here) to learn how poor Lucky became LUCKY Lucky! (Eek! he and his brother were originally named Cheech and Chong per verbal agreement with original "owners"- doubt that would have ever held up in court, they never bothered to rabies vaccinate which here in MA is proof of ownership...) Those names were quickly, uh, lost in the paperwork...
Finally got to talk to Dr. Adams today! She called me at work! YAY! the final bill for me is only $138.00!!!!!!!!!! SO THANKS TO ALL YOU GUYS! AND THANKS TO ALL YOU GALS AND THANKS TO EVERYONE ON PT WHO DONATED AND TO THOSE WHO PRAYED, OR THOUGHT A GOOD THOUGHT BECAUSE IT SURE DID WORK! THIS BOY IS DOING FINE! AND MY BILL WENT FROM I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT (i forgot to ask) TO THIS PIDDELY AMOUNT! If you look at their pictures, are they not worth it? they are adorable and I'll betcha they are full of personality too!
So FYI all- any checks arriving after today are being set aside for Lucky and Louie to have rabies, distemper vaccines, and maybe neuter. It would be cheaper to do neuter here but it depends on how long they are "stuck" at Rhonda and Kevlins. They do have to be vaccinated there because it is required to cross state lines. I am dubious at best about the transport groups. I have signed up with 4 but 2 have not yet approved my membership. the other 2 I posted on but no response yet. They seem primarily dog oriented. And besides, very complicated, you have to have info on who is meeting who where, who is doing how many miles, make sure everyone is trained (some have never done transports before and god forbid they open a carrier door while a car door is open just cuz someone pooped stinky), see to motel overnights, what about car insurance should there be an accident, etc. Oh lordy, lordy lordy. And cats hate cars let alone a 2-3 or possibly 4 day car ride. (puke, puke, puke). ha ha, but not so ha ha.
Again, my point was to thank everyone! (any advice on transportation is welcome!)
:)
As of Noon Today (Tuesday, Sept 28) ~
Luck's Hoppsbittel Bill has been Donated Down to
an Outstanding Balance of $ 94.88
The Animal Care Clinic will wait till tomorrow (Wednesday) to post
any Donations that come by tomorrow, and then charge the
remaining balance to Leslie's credit card.
THANKS, Leslie!!
If anyone else wishes to Donate to the Lucky & Louie Fund ~
Here's three suggestions:
1) PM "leslie" to get her address - and mail HER your Contribution.
2) PM "Cinder & Smoke" and I'll pass along the address for
Dusty's Howze - and you can send Dusty's People a Donation towards
The Twins' Food and Future Vaccinations expenses.
3) If you'd like to use a Credit Card - the Clinic will accept
Donations by PHONE today and tomorrow.
Animal Care Clinic phone # (985) 542-6300
Be sure to tell April or Danielle it's for "Dusty, the PT Kat"!
Lastly - let's not Furget >>
The Twins NEED a Permanent, Furrever, HOME!!
Anyone who has experience with a Kat Transport Group that
has contacts and Drivers in the Louisiana area -
PLEASE contact Leslie or Phred.
THANKS Again, Gang!! ~ ;)
/s/ Phred
Fantastic news Phred! All the PTers who've sent in donations are ANGELS! Thank you all so very much for coming through and helping save this lucky kittie's life! ;) Right about now Leslie's going to need a low charge on her credit card, as her car's in the car hospital in need of a lot of work. :( If Lucky & Louie can get up here somehow, I can get them neutered for $35.00 each through my account at the local vets. They will hwoever need those shots (rabies & FVRCP) in order to travel across state lines as Leslie said. I'm REALLY hoping that Kevlin will get Phred or someone to post the wonderful pictures he took of the kitties! They look like such a sweet pair of boys, and really need to get here somehow. :( Thanks again everybody for everything!! You guys are the best! :D :D :D Jan
Gosh, the news just keeps getting better and better.:D
Well I AM surprised cuz of 3pm yesterday Doc was gonna put balance on my card that day and all checks after to go toward Lucky and Louie's needed vaccines (she doesn't know of any rescue groups in that area that have low cost connections to other vet clinics- I did ask her about that.) She was also unaware that shelters gas the unadopted pets. Lucky's photo still up and they have no takers yet but still hoping. Of course best of brothers could go together... but we shall just hope for anything!! Any checks to me will just go into their shots and nueters be it whereever in the US so it doesn't matter to me exactly where they are sent!
Phred, Dusty's People had some nice photos of Lucky when he 1st got home- can you post them for them if they aren't sure how? and if it's ok with them of course!?
thanks again!
Leslie ~
"Doc" doesn't DO the billing or the charging. :p
I arranged with Her BOSS to hold off charging the CC till
the mailed-in Donations had a chance to get there.
Danielle, in the Clinic's OFFICE, is The One to talk to about money.
As for the PICTURES -
I Posted the four that Dusty's Folks sent me from Home-Coming Night -
on 9/24 at 10:29 PM - in THIS Thread - about 20-some posts ago.
If there are any "Newer" pictures - they haven't been sent to me.

* ENJOY *
Great pictures! I love the one of lucky on the big leopard bed. I hope that others come to look at the pictures, and aren't burned out by this thread. :eek: And I'm very happy Leslie's credit card bill was substantially lower than anyone ever expected. She needs a low bill now....car cost mucho $$$$ to fix. :(
That's what I was thinking Jan, that maybe Phred should have made a new thread in regards to the pictures.
What do you think Phred?
Lucky you are such an adorable little kitty and i'm so glad to hear you are doing so well.
Thanks Phred for posting these fabulous pictures and your captions were a hoot.:D
;)
What a lucky little fellow Lucky is!! He is without a doubt one adorable kitty!
Doesn't this prove how many wonderful and caring people there are? The kindness and support that PT offers is amazing to me. I'm so happy for Leslie that the bill was lowered so much. How wonderful of her to be willing to take on the burden of a small sick kitty so far away. How wonderful for so many to come together and help Lucky, Leslie, and Lucky's wonderful foster family. Phred for keeping everything updated and organized.
*SIGH* What a wonderful place!
Still praying that the perfect forever loving home comes along soon for both those precious boys!
All I can say is YES!! Pet Talkers Rule OK!!!
I'm just so happy this has all come together so well and produced such a Happy Ending - almost!! All we need to hear now is that a furever home has been found for Lucky and Louie. :D
Thank You - Thank You - Thank You - to everyone who's made this all possible xxx

Anyone?
Note:
If we can't find an Adoptive Furrever Home for
the PT Twins (Lucky & Louie) in Louisiana ~
we may have to Transport them to Leslie in Boston
so she can try to find them a Home up there.
So ...
1) Does anybody know of a Kat-Deprived Home ~
"Down South" ~
that would like TWO *KUTE* Kats?? -or-
2) Know of a Transport Group who arranges "Kat Runs" between
Louisiana and Boston????
:confused:
.
Please all cat talkers here! Like Phred said! I have signed up for at least 11 transport groups and nothing is panning out. I am depressed about this, i don't understand why there are so many transports for dogs and not cats. When i see the rare cat transport- it's about a "breed" cat... Does anyone know anyone that knows anyone with an "IN" to a transport group? Shall I list all the groups I have signed up with here? I feel defeated.
