Need Major Help RE: 2 Cats I adopted out a while back...BAD NEWS!
It may be a long story, but I adopted out two kittens to a former neighbor about 2 years ago. Paul was suicidal over the loss of his son in a car accident, and he's also living with HIV. He had no reason to live until my friend Pat suggested he adopt a kitten from me. Paul agreed, and adopted Toby, and paid for the neuter, and rabies, but nothing above that. I did the FVRCP shots. worming etc. out of my pocket, and relied on the FeLV/FIV test from the mom cat as Toby being negative. Toby's sister Tatiana was in another foster home, and needed a home shortly after, so I suggested to Paul that he take her on as well, as Toby was too active, and needed a companion. Agreed. ;) Long story slightly shortened, Paul left the neighborhood about a year ago, and moved to a crack/heroin/ etc. building, and has been selling, doing, and being a crack addict. He had been clean and sober for years prior. His electricity has been shut off, but with all the people in his apt.24/7 he needn't worry about heat. His brother has been buying Paul cigarrettes, food, cat food etc. and ignoring the fact Paul's a junky! :mad: Sick of hearing about what MY CATS were living in, I had Pat go there last Friday, and tell him the cats were going to the animal hospital. He was suspicious, but let her leave with them, the entire time she was being 'watched' by woman thugs. :rolleyes: Paul thought they had earmites..none detected when I got them. He THINKS he's getting them back, the male anyway..can't care about the female. :rolleyes: Pat called him 2 days later and said (I coached her) both were on IV fluids, and the male was having major seizures, and was being given diazapam to stop the seizures, male cat has bi-lateral ear polyps complicated by ear infections..... He's been giving Pat major threats, and demanding HIS cats back, and where are they etc. etc yelling at her that "It's not over" and "she doesn't know what she's talking about". He knows where Pat lives, works, her phone number etc. The worst is, the 'management company runs not only Pat's place, but Paul's as well. The Maintanance man lives above Pat, and has keys to her apt. and is a regular buyer of crack at Paul's apt! :eek: The cats are at a shelter and away from that environment, but now I, and several others are worried sick about Pat, and her cats. :( Police suck around here to put it mildly! Paul has a block on his phone so private numbers can't come through...as I had it all lined up through a friend to give him some serious thinking to do! We're trying the public phone option tomorrow, and I already set the anonymous caller block on my phone. If it works, we're all set...she knows what to say to this guy, etc. Any other thoughts, suggestions, ideas???? The cats are safe, but my friend and her cats are not. :( I'm worried sick about Pat, and her cats. And yes..we have a few cat happy places for her to move into, but one's a breadbox. :(
