Look what I found on my back porch today!

Believe me, Gary, I am having nightmares about that dog too. or any dog or other animal hurting the babies for that matter.

I am just at a loss. The only place inside they could possible be is in the bathroom which is really dinky. No place for growing kitties. If they came inside, I wouldn't have the heart to put them back outside EVER. I would risk exposing my cats to anything the babies may have since they have not been checked out by a vet. Even just playing with each other under the bathroom door would expose them.

If I leave them outside, I will worry my self sick over them. I hate to leave them even for a second for fear something will happen to them. I need to go get them some more food sometime this week. I'm dreading leaving even for that long.

I just can't afford to keep them all or physically care for them all plus my 4.
WHAAAAA!!! What do I do? :(

MOFF, please call your vet's office and ask them what to do. They sounded like really good people! Just ask their advice!

HUGS!

I did call them. They have no answer. They don't know of any foster people or anyone who would want them.

On a happier note, I just got to hold the shy black kit for the first time. He hissed a tiny bit at first then laid in my hand and looked at me with his big blue eyes taking it all in. He let me rub his tiny (full) tummy gently. Hopefully now he won't be so frightened of me.

They were all nice and dry when they came out so at least I know they are not getting rained on and they should be protected from the wind. They are in bed for the night now. It's almost dark already because of the rains.

The tortie even crawled on my lap. I had a fun cuddle session. I guess what I want for them is to be loved and adored and spoiled like the cats on this site. :D :love:

MOFF, I don't know exactly where in Kansas you are - but maybe a no-kill shelter on these lists will help you and the babies out. :love:

Details of Animal Haven, which is in the above link: http://www.animalhavenkc.org/

http://www.thepetconnection.net/

Even if they aren't close to you, someone there may 'know' someone close to you.

HUGS! Glad the little ones are safe so far. I am sure they love being held, and even the shy ones will warm up, as they've missed a good cuddle!:):love:

And hey, if Helene can take one or five or however many, I can definitely chip in a few $. :):love:

This is progress, MoFF. The tortie baby crawling up on your lap for lovies must have been a very special joy for you, what a treat! I feel very confident in saying all of our PT friends, like you, want these precious little ones to be loved, adored, and enjoy the pampered life of our "spoiled" PT kitties. These babies deserve nothing less!

Ok...well if getting them to Texas is a problem...is there anyone closer or someone from Illinos that could meet you and then we could have another person in Indiana meet the person in Illinos and then the person from Indiana could meet someone in Ohio and then I could drive to Ohio to meet the person from Ohio and then John....would you like some kittens??

I wish we could just put them on a plane and send them to Texas.

:) I am here now.. I have been busy at work.. Well now that you mention it I am getting in contact with Pilots-n-Paws to possible Fly-In.. I can drive in; but the drive is atleast 8 hrs in one way..

I wish I wasn't so far away or I'd be glad to help with transport. I hope that a wonderful plan will come together so all of these precious babies will be safe and they'll all eventually be in the loving caring forever homes that they deserve.:)

We do have a small airport here but the bus doesn't go out there, usually. I could try begging!!! Maybe our animal control officer could be bribed to getting them that far. I wouldn't count on him though.

One of our drivers has family in texas. They are going there the 5th of June. I asked if they would take the kits with them. They said NO NO WAY. sigh
So much for people who once told me they would do anything for me. :(

When I went out to feed the kits this morning, the tortie came running around the corner of the porch to meet me followed by one of the orangies. They wanted breakie NOW!!! The little white toed black one was right behind them. I was surprised because he is usually the ring leader. The other two popped out of their hidey hole when I put their food down.

I snuck out to walmart while they were sleeping off their breakie. When I got home, they wanted to play!!! So, I sat outside with them for quite a while. More rain this afternoon then sunshine for several days. They will be hard to keep an eye on. They will want to play play play. :love:

:( Crap your kiding me?? That would work perfect.. I would & could meet these people any where in Texas.. Could you like begg them & reasure that I would be there to meet them.. I mean they are already coming this way.. Did you know where in TX they are coming??

They were going to Dallas to meet up with their kids then on to somewhere I can't remember.

I did beg and offered money. They just won't do it. :(

:o Crap Crap = Do you know Dallas is just 1 1/2 Hours from me.. My gosh they would be right in my door nearly.. How cold are these people.. I mean they are coming anyway.. The babies would be no problem.. Maybe they have doughts that someone would meet them.. Can you tell them I am so near Dallas.. Can you tell them I am begging..

I told them you would be sure and meet them. They just don't want to do it. I can't risk making them upset with me. They could make my life riding the bus a lot harder. (which is my only way of getting around town) The husband is the only one who will help with my groceries and stuff. :love:

Wasn't there a guy who was a PT member who lives in SE Kansas who did animal rescues? I can't remember his name. Seems like he wasn't all that far from here.

so close.. yet far still.. awww

Saw this list on line; maybe one of them could give advice on a possible transfer??

http://www.pgaa.com/kansas.html

I'm afraid they may stray off and get lost. When I went out to check on them at noon, one of the orangies was out by their hidey hole. There was a big gray cat sitting there nose to nose to him. The cat wasn't mean, just curious. It's one I have fed a few times. They could easily follow him or any other cat off. Lots of cats pass through the neighborhood.

I saw one last night that looked so much like Angel, I had to check and make sure Angel was still here inside.

The kits all came out for 'fun' and will not go back in their safe place. They are so tired they are falling asleep under the bushes. I was out with them for almost 3 hours trying to get them back in there. I finally gave up. I havn't had anything to eat today so just had to run in for a sec. :love:

What if we sent you money "momoffuzzyfaces" until you are able to get them to Texas that way you will feel better about them getting some vet care and stuff??

I just hate to see anything happen to them, it's already just so sad that they lost their mom. If I didn't have a job and I had a lot of money I would drive to Kansas myself and give them all the care they need but sadly I don't and all I can offer is a donation for you to get some supplies and such.

:) Ok HELP Is there any PT Member that is Located in Wichita, KS or Tulsa, OK or Oklahoma City, OK that could help us with transport.. Any of these locations would be within 5 hrs from me & would help me with getting these babies from MOFF..

I just copied lvpets2002 last post and placed it under cat rescue. Should we cross post it here too under the new heading? :love:

Oh, please, don't send me money. We need to get them safe before we worry about the vet. :love:

I would think a crosspost would help since most people check the general and I tend too as well but I do check the rescue side from time to time! :):D

Ok I copied the post under cat general. or did you mean the general general section? I am so confused! :love:

:) You did good.. I think Cat Rescue & Cat General will be all ok.. Many Thanks.. Hey we will make this work somehow.. Keep the babies full & safe.. Many Thanks for caring for them all this time..

It's the keeping them safe part that terrifies me! They will do what they want. They are stubborn little souls. I wish I could keep them under 24/7 surveillance! :love: I just looked out and there was the black and white one strolling around on the back porch and the tortie is with him. Mercy!

By the way, I do have a cat carrier I can send them in.

And the idiot of the month award goes to ME for standing in the pouring rain for 20 minutes trying to get the kits back under the porch. Putting tooth paste back in a tube would be easier. I finally stuffed them all in. They were there when I left but will they stay there all night? Only the shadow knows. What I need is a big ole monkey cage to keep them in.

Now I'm off to join a wet tee shirt contest and eat something besides cold chili.

MOFF, even though you said that the shed isn't ideal when it rains because of the noise that it makes,for the time being I think that this would be the safest place for them since they're all wanting to run,play,and explore things. You'd hate for them to run off and get lost. I sure hope that they'll all stay safe.

Here's also a link to Pro-Pet-Transports:http://www.pro-pet-transports.com/index.php in case you can't find some one to help transport these cutie pies.:)

Funny you should mention the shed. I spent the morning cleaning it out getting ready to put a big plastic box and blankie in it. :D
It has no windows, just air vents so it's pretty dark even in the day time. I can't keep them in it in the afternoons when it gets really hot either. But for night time and times I need to be gone, it would be the best. Then I wouldn't worry myself sick about them when I can't be here. (and I could sleep)

They are under the porch right now. Lots of people mowing so they are hiding out.

I checked out the transport link. The cats would all need a bill of health from a vet before they would even consider transporting them. :love:

Continued prayers for these sweeties, and a candle: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10846361

Another thought I came up with:

What if Helene,lvpets2002,could fly to Kansas and then rent a car and drive to MOFF's and then she could drive home with the babies. I'd be more than willing to donate for her expenses.:) This way the driving wouldn't be as much for her. I understand if she can't though.

:) Well thats a good thought.. Ok MOFF do you have rent a car place there?? Or I could fly into Wichita KS & rent a car there & ect.. Please understand I am just trying to cut the driving time down..

I am more than willing to donate to the travel expenses and the vet care.........:):love: We've just got to get these precious little ones to Texas....

I'm not sure we have a rent a car place here. Our airport only handles small private type planes though. Plus there is no way to get from the airport to town if you don't have a car. I can check with our biggest car place and see if they do rent though.

KC is 90miles to our north. Is that closer than wichita? I know you can rent cars there. :love:

Just let me know where to send my donation...:D
PayPal would be easiest but I can also just send a check.

I can afford to send a $20 check, if that helps. Those precious little souls have to be safe!:love:

Check with lvpets2002 and send any donations to her, please. :love:

:) Yes KC MO is closer to you from the Airport to drive in.. However its further for my drive home.. Now what I am checking into is a flight into Tulsa Ok & then a Puddle Jumper (commuter a/c) into Joplin MO & get a car there that I can drive to you & then on home.. So MOFF can you check & see what Airlines goes into the Airport to Joplin MO.. Joplin is only 1 Hr from you.. And then I could see of getting a rent a car there & driving it back to TX.. Let me know please.. Many Many Thanks for EveryOnes Concern & Noted Wanting to $$ Support.. All Paws Crossed Now..

Um, any hint as to how I go about that? I've never had to do anything like this. :o

American Airlines goes into Joplin............

shhh, supposed to be working....:o

I called Pittsburg, Ks airport. It's only 30 min from me but they only take private planes. He said the only airline going into Joplin goes to Kansas City first, then into Joplin. He couldn't remember the name.

Maybe American Airlines like Slick said? I'll check some more.

I just went to the Joplin Reginal Airport website : www.jlnairport.com
They show United but there is no list. I tried calling the airport but couldn't get them to pick up. The phone # is 417/623/0262

I'll try again later.

:p Slick is doing what at what?? Sssshh no we wont tell no-one.. Hey Yes I just checked KC Mo & its not much one way & then get a car from there to drive downward into MOFF place.. No need going into Joplin then I would just have to drive back up one hour.. Ummppss.. I mean if I have to go to KC Mo anyways.. OK MOFF check into some more on your end & I will on my end.. Now to see if the rent a car places will let me drive a car back to TX.. They should.. There is a Enterprise not far from me that I could do the drop off.. Hey I am fixing to close now from Work.. Did I Say Work.. :p Hey All Paws Crossed & some New Baby Pics Please ..
