HI All,
I got a phone call last night in response to my ad and I had a couple meet me over at the house and the picked out the kitten they would like so I tried last night but we didn't have much time since it was getting dark to catch the kitten and I'm going to try again tonight so I hope I get the kitten.
I'm so glad I have found a home for one more.

I'm hoping that you haven't posted because you have been busy catching kittens for new homes - is that right? Or was there another disaster waiting for you?
Lizzie,
I haven't posted because I was busy trying to catch the kittens. I didn't have any luck this weekend but I did get a trap and so I'll go out again tonight and start trapping because my net idea just isn't working anymore.
I got a call too last week from this women who said her daughter wants a kitten for her 16th B-day and the only problem is I don't think I have anymore females left. I think they are all males. But I figured once I trap them, I'll know for sure. I did trap one outside my house on Friday night and it was a male so I had to release him for the time being, he was over six months I believe but such a cutie.

Well I just got an e-mail from her saying she didn't realize they weren't kittens, what 6 months isn't a kitten? Since when.
Well if she wants to be like that then she does not deserve one of these special kittens.
I'm still waiting to hear from the organization if they are going to be able to cover the cost yet of the spay/neuter assistance. I hope so. I just want this to end in a good way, mostly because I'm so tired...and it's getting harder to catch the last few kittens although I'm going to try the trap tonight to see who I get.

I have about 4 kittens left over there although 2 look about 6 months old now and the other two are probably 3 months.
They are so!
I will give them a call tomorrow and see what happens. As for tonight it's off to the gym to warm up for trapping and hopefully I get a little orange bugger tonight.

Money sucks and it sucks not having any. I asked for donations on statecollege.com and centredailytimes.com but no one has replied saying they would give money towards this cause.
Reality is hitting very quickly.
I think the C-man's office will help, especially if your friend still works there.
I would hope that they would like some good publicity, and notify the media...my fondest dream...
It's not that the person himself can do anything, but people in the offices are so well-connected!
That cat owner needs some help, too...

Well last night the 16 yr old girl said she would take a girl kitten if I was able to trap it. But chances of that are pretty slim but we'll see. I did get two more phone calls last night and well one person sounded pretty interested but she wants to see a picture so I sent her the only one I had and I'm just waiting for the response now...
I just hope that when I catch these kittens that these people don't back out and decide not to take them.
It's just going to be hard to catch the kittens especially when the older cats like to go into the trap.
The other bad thing is I'm so low on money I can't afford to go out there every day like I want to.
Melissa
And did you? How did the call go?Quote:

You are getting broke and exhausted - CALL and tell them exactly what you are doing, how you are feeling, and that you need HELP!
Don't think about it - JUST DO IT! (thanks, Nike)
I stopped by his office today, they gave me a number to the local dog catcher to see if he might have more resources as for funds she said this time of year is not a good time for funds.
:(
Well I'll try the dog catcher once I hear back from Best Friends org.

Man this is getting so frustrating. The 16-yr. old girl may not take the one kitten so I'm trying so hard to find homes for the other ones but it's not easy. I'm waiting to hear her answer today, hopefully.
I have attached pictures of the 2 that need homes.
Melissa
Well I found out tonight that the 16-yr. old girl isn't going to take a girl kitten if I have one, she is getting a puppy instead.
I'm still waiting to hear if I got approved yet for assistance or not.
