Katie - email ALL the email addys, ok? :)
-
Please email Bendy; she's trying to get in touch. Best of luck!!
PS--Ace is in my face at the moment and sends his love and HUGE purrs.

Katie, WOW. I am so sorry. We have not talked again in so long. I wish you would have called me. Please call me. I am sure I can help out one way or another. I am so sorry this is happening to you. I am going to PM you and maybe I can help. I am here for you girl.

Katie, I'm so very sorry you are going through this and all because you just can't turn your back on a cat in need. I can't help in any practical way since I have a house full of fosters (3 adults and 14 kittens) as well as my own.
Where did you post on Best Friends? I didn't see anything that looked like it came from you on the animals in need forums. Have you gone to your state's community on the Best Friends site? You can contact the community manager and they can post a story for you. That will be your best bet at this point. Best Friends is rather overwhelmed at present because they've taken on two large sanctuaries that had failed and are having a hard time getting the hundreds of cats in them adopted. There are people on the B.F. network who should be able to help you, people who have contacts and may be able to persuade sanctuaries to shoe-horn in one more cat.

This could happen to anyone of us anytime! It just isn't fair!!! You live your life, not hurting anybody and trying to help the underprivilaged kitties and someone comes along and turns your world upside down! This sucks!! How about trying to find someone to foster yours until you can make better living arrangements? If only each rescue orginazation could take just ONE of the fosters! It is society that allows these babies to breed and causes this problem to start with..... This just BURNS me up! :mad: I wish there was something I could do to help!
-
Katie - I joined best Friends and posted most of your email in the Animals in Need section, along with a pic of three fosters you showed us a while back.
I hope you don't mind...I know you are busy and this whole situation is overwhelming!
Any repsonse from the TV folks?
hugs and prayers! :)

I sent an email to my friend that lives in Reidsville NC. She is going to ask around at work and places to see if anyone wants a kitty. :)

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that katie is busy looking for a place to move to and hasn't had much time to get to her mom's computer and post to update you. She has also been busy with trying to find places for the fosters. I talked to her last night and if all goes well she will be getting online and posting an update of what is going on. I have agreed to take Alvin but he needs to get neurtered and combo tested before he comes to me and also we need to figure out a way to get him to me. Can anyone help with that? I am in KY and Katie in NC.
Melissa

I hope she has some replies from people at Best Friends and from some media!
BF has her email addy...I hope someone wrote...

Ok. I am SO sorry that I have not been over to post in a little while. I THINK that I have found a place for 2 of the foster boys (Andy and Amos) along with if I can get Alvin to Melissa. Then I will have 2 of the fosters and the kitten to find a home for.
Bendy (critters friend) offered to finish building her outside enclosure, and foster the boys until her or I can find alternate plans. I.E Furrever homes. It is not the most ideal situation, but she is the one that drove to my home to foster Ace when my grandfather passed away. She is VERY kind, and will provide for them the best she can. I cant believe her willingness to help... She might even take in orange boy outside if I can get him.
Melissa has agreed to take Alvin, since he is cat friendly and also so skittish, he would be a terribly hard adoption, and he would not do good in an outside enclosure.
The two other girls (AbiGail and AnnaBelle), are still in search of a new home. They have been fixed, all shots, and dewormed, along with ear mite treatment and flea treated. They are also combo tested negative.
So, soon in the future, I will have to start another fund raiser, because the only way I can get them fostered is to make sure they are atleast fixed. The 3 boys still need that. BUT Bendy can get it done MUCH cheaper where she is than at my vet.
I will update more later.. Still not sure where I am going to live.... I will find something.
And best friends have not emailed me back. I did exactly what Candace posted. Under adoptions. I will try again... BUT I am sure they probably get so many requests, it may take a few days longer.
Also, Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I am so glad that years ago I found this website, and have made such wonderful friends, who care so much about each other, and their pets. *HUGS* Katie and kitties
EDITED TO ADD: I emailed to this addy: [email protected]

You just let me know when you need those donations. I will be glad to help. Of course I'd need your address again. So when you are ready, please PM me with the info. :D
-
Katie - I know you are busy - any callbacks from the TV folks???
Maybe Bendy could bug them too!
AND your landlord! :D
HUGS!

Katie - very glad to hear that you are finding places for some of your fosters. While Best Friends is the best, they do receive hundreds of requests every day and it's rare for a cat (dogs are usually luckier) to get help through their forums which don't see heavy traffic - at least that's what I've seen over the past year.
Have you tried 911 Pet Rescue? Here is their address: http://911petrescue.com/ipb/
Quite a number of their regulars and those who run the site are from the south and the east coast so they could offer you more immediate assistance.
You would love being in this room right now. I have nine 8-week old kittens racing all over the bed, leaping up onto my keyboard, crashing into the water bowl, skidding across the bathroom floor, it's hilarious.
Good luck on finding the right kind of place to live. Are you working as a vet tech again?

Katie, an more news? It has been quite some time and I am worried.
