Outside declawed kitty Splinter breaking my heart... *pics*

I have not read all of the posts since my last posting. Marina, I did get your email.

Marina and her family are considering adopting Splinter as their indoor only kitty. I still have not got a chance to email back, but I will in a little bit when I get home. Splinter is still in my spare room right now (I am on my parents computer).

Just wanted to let everyone know I will answer all questions and such as soon as I get home. I am not avoiding anything! LOL I know everyone is wanting my thoughts and answers and such.

I will be back!

Ok. Marina I sent you an email.

I think that Marina is seriously wanting to adopt Splinter, she is in Ohio I believe. I really want to get him into a forever home.

It is not a HUGE rush to get him out, I can foster him as long as needed before a permanent home is ready, and transport set up/.

I have never had to set up transport before, so I am clueless how to do that. Well, one time I found someone going to Florida and had him drive a foster there and Rosethecopycat Picked kitty up, but that does not count. I will need help figuring out what and how to do this. Only problem, my transmission is going out on my car, so I probably would not be able to drive a very long distance...

I dont know if the "owner" will care, or even notice. Nothing has been said to me, and I have had him 2 full days. I imagine I will be asked and questioned, but that is it.

I really dont know the guy, to be honest. I know tidbits, and what is told to me by a friend of his, that lives in the neighborhood.

All I know if he needs a forever home, and I am willing to do whatever I can do to help get him that home.

I hope this clears up where this stands right now. I will update after me and Marina talk again;) Thank you for all of the offers and prayers and everything. I just love my PT family.:love:

Well, we love you too, Katie...you are one of the most compassionate people I have known. PT is full of them, each one standing up for these poor defenseless innocent animals, doing the right thing and saving a precious life.

Splinter looks like such a lovebug! For someone to treat him so shabbily is a crime.

Let us know how we can help. My offer still stands!

Sounds good Katie. Whatever works out best for Splinter.

If we can get some transporting arranged, like I said, I will help as long as I'm not at work. If you need an overnight or more than one for him somewhere along the way, I will more than gladly do that as well.

Hugs to you all!

I have never arranged a transport before, but I have participated in them over the years. The first thing to do is find a route between your place and Marina's. That will give you an idea of how long the drive is. Then break it up into driving segments from 1-2 hours. After that it is a matter of selecting a weekend and asking for volunteers. It will likely take a month or so to get everything coordinated, but it can be done!

Good luck and I can contribute $ if need be.

I just found this post, We would be glade to do any thing too help this baby.
This includes transport (I've been known to drive 4 hours just for dinner), housing, PM, or money. To put a declaw out side, well let me put it this way, our Lenny is a declaw that was found outside and if I every find who put him out, it's not going to be pretty.

Thank you everyone for your support and kind words!

I will call Marina tonight and find out exactly where she lives. She could also meet the last driver to pick him up. I can drive a few hours as well. With a bad transmission, I would not want to go TOO far.. I cant afford to have the car worked on yet.

I guess the next steps (thank you emily the spoiled) is to vet him and find out directions!

If we cant get him straight to her, I guess we would need a "safe" house until transport could be worked out. I am not in a HUGE rush... I can wait until we find enough drivers.

Anyways, I will talk to her today and update later. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!:love:

Splinter sure has a lot of folks pulling for him. I'm sure it will all work out.

I so hope that a transport will be arranged for Splinter, so he can get to a new indoor home, he looks like he's had a rough time. :( He also looks like a real love bug. :)

My suggestion is... put a map on here covering from NC to Ohio?, then each PTalker can see what part of the route they may be able to cover.

Best of luck! :)

Have you asked the owner if you could have him? Poor baby - he looks sad. What about that little black goatee? Have you ever thought about just keeping him?

This owner does not need to be "asked" anything. He put a declawed cat outside!!! :mad:
Katie would keep him herself if she didn't already have 15 cats and 2 dogs. :)

I am bummed that I am on the wrong side of the country. All I can do is offer my mental support at this time.

What a horrible story for this poor helpless kitty!:(:mad:

Thank you, Katie, for taking Splinter in and finding him a new safe and LOVING home!

If everyone else's plans fall through, he could come to TN.;)

Wherever this beautiful baby goes, I will be glad to donate money towards transport.!!

Ok. Me and Marina and her husband Joe talked tonight for quite awhile. I truly think they want to bring him into their home, and love him forever.

Now we can go onto finding a transport, so tomorrow she is going to pm me her hometown, and I can find a map with a route on it...

SO I will update, as soon as I get this put together.

Cindy, mental support is just as important! ;)

So please everyone keep your fingers crossed and good vibes for Splinter! We really apprieciate it! :love:

And thanks Cindy. Yes we just cant adopt anymore to stay with us. I am overloaded already, and financially cannot take on another right now, forever.

I wont ask for this kitty, because if he says no, well, I would *POOF* him anyways, and that would be a dead give away. I dont want trouble, I just want a solution for this situation. The best one possible IMO.;)

GOD, I love that cat!!!!;):(:cool:


I wanted to check with everyone before I do this.


I'd Like to make *POOF* an entry in the Furrminology Thread and want to bive the right person credit for coining the term?

Also, Does anyone know who coined the term "Mewtiny"?

I liked that one too!
