Maybe give the woman a history on "poofing". IF THE ANIMAL IS BEING ABUSED THE ABUSERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO GIVE PERMISSION. If someone here is willing to drive up there and do that, maybe they can get the NEIGHBOUR'S address. Then the person can go get kitty, and maybe leave an anonymous note as to why the kitten is gone - and that it is safe and loved.
Why has she not called Animal Control to report the abuse?
I hope she is for real and is not yanking our chain.
If you can email me one of her emails with Full Headers, I can glean something from it. Or forward it the same way to Animal Control or the local Humane there.
This waffling just sucks! JMO.
