UPDATE!!! NOT AGAIN I think I found a Home for My Stray*Maybe Not anymore*

[Anikaca77]

Hi All,

I've been trying like mad to find my girl "Baby" who's living outside (only because I have 5 kitties inside in a one bedroom apartment also please don't just that as being too small, I know it is but I love all my guys to death) Well I came across an ad on craig list this women offering to foster cats and kittens so I thought I'd give it a whirl and see if she was willing to take in Baby and give her a home.

And sure enough she is willing!!! I'm so excited so tonight I'm going to have to try to trap her and get her inside so tomorrow afternoon I'll be able to take her to meet this women Nicky.

I asked her some questions and here are the questions and answer:

Where do you plan on keeping her? Indoors only

Do you rent or own? own

Are children in the household? yes, and they are very used to cats

Will you be home during the day? everyday I am home

I'm assuming the answer for this is yes but sorry I still have to ask: Are cats allowed where you live? haha sure are

If she does not come around (become friendly) what do you plan on doing with her? Take time - it usually takes time for any cat to adjust to new surroundings.

Do you ever discipline your pets if you have any and if so how? My cats don't get disciplined really. I think they have the run of the house!

If a disciplinary or behavior problem arises, (such as she pees on the floor and not in the litter box) what steps will you take to work on it? Usually after they see the litter box, they catch on fairly fast. It's a natural thing for cats to prefer to go in the sand to cover it all up. And the other cats here use it as well so she will definately catch on! Not to mention we do have 3 boxes so far!

Do you have any current pets? yes I do - I have 4 cats and a dog. My dog is a big wuss and she is used to cats as well. She likes to play chase but if the cats want no part of it - she just hides in her crate... I have a 7 week old kitten here right now and my dog actually thinks she is her baby...

Are you planning on declawing her? no. It's not necessary. Cat have claws for a reason and I have cat trees for that.


Well that's all for now, I'm just hoping someone will be willing to let me borrow there cat trap if they have one for just tonight.

This is great news!!! I hope that you'll be able to trap her easily and that everything will work out for her. Please continue to keep us updated. Good luck.

I'm having the worst luck locating a trap. I might have to buy one but I don't think I'll need it again...who knows.

Have You Tried Your Humane Society Although You Usually Have To Pay A Rental There. But As Those Cages Are Expensive And That Will Save Money. I Tried To Catch Roccalno Last Week And I Got Every Porch Cat But Her.
At Least I Saw Who Was Hanging Around The Cat Cave!!!!!!!!!!\
Good Luck On That New Furrever Home.

Well I managed to get a trap last night and this women never e-mailed me back about meeting her today like I wanted to. I haven't heard from her yet I'm hoping that she is just too busy to reply right now but still wants to take in Baby.

I've had this happen so many times now where someone will say they want her and I have to quickly get a trap and then I never hear from them again....I'm just getting so disappointed.

THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT ROCCALNOS UPSTAIRS IN THE CAT ENCLOSURE ON THE BACK PORCH. ITS A LOT NICER THAN THE CELLAR AND SHE HAS MET SEVERAL OF THE FOUND CATS WITHOUT INCEDENCE.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD START!!!!!!!!

[Anikaca77]

Well I still haven't heard from this women yet...I figured I'd give her till Monday afternoon and if I still don't hear from her I will post on another website.

Is Baby still inside with you?? I hope she's got a little more room to stretch out and use the potty than just the carrier, lol. Maybe the woman was just busy this weekend. It was gorgeous outside here in eastern PA, so maybe they were swimming or something. She looks like such a sweet little girl! I hope you find someone to adopt or foster her.

Did you ask her how she earns a living?? I mean, if she has kids, and is home all day, all the time, how is she getting money to pay bills and such. I'd definitely want to know that one.

[Anikaca77]

No I didn't trap her. I usually wait till I know the person will take her before trapping her. No I didn't ask her how she earns a living I'm assuming a husband but I don't want to assume because I know what happens when you do assume things. I just hope she e-mails me today and says she will still take in Baby.

I hope the woman will take in Baby. She is a adorable cat and looks so sweet. I just have a question: how come you don't trap Baby yet? Keep us updated! Hopefully, Baby will have a home soon.

WE HOPE THIS LADY DIDT CHANGE HER MIND AND ET A CAT THAT SHE FEELS WILL BE LESS OF A HASSLE THAN BABY.
I WISH I COULD TAKE BABY I BET THAT SHE AND THE ROCCALNO WOULD HIT IT OFF.

If you're in Central Pa, or close to that, can you contact Castaway Critters??? They take in kitties, and I'm pretty sure they are a no-kill. I know that Huntingdon Shelter (close to Altoona) uses them as a back up for when they are full and need to get some out of their shelter to save them.

Here's Castaway Critters' site:

KittyGurl,

I would trap her but I have 5 cats already in a small one bedroom apartment and my oldest girl Anika has anixety issues so I don't want to stress her out any longer than I have too. That's why I have not brought her in yet. Trust me I want to so bad but with Anika it's better for her health if I only have Baby in the house for one night or two nights.

I got an e-mail from Nicky (the lady that said she will take baby) and she said that she is still wanting to take in Baby and she just got really busy this past weekend. So I made an appointment with her for this Saturday to drive to Titusville, PA and drop off Baby at her house. She was going to meet me halfway but her husband has the car so I'll be driving the whole way plus that way I get to see where Baby is going to live and hopefully everything will work out and of course I'm going to make sure her house is clean and acceptable for Baby to stay there if I get any wrong feeling she will be coming back with me.
