Kitten 6-8 Weeks, Kids Abuse it. HEARD FROM HER TODAY THURSDAY!

[Catty1]

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.

"Rey Mysterio" is a wrestler, I doubt thats anyones real name.

I dont understand, this woman put an ad on pet finder and when she got help, she doesnt want to tell anyone her phone number or address? How is anyone suppose to help then?

Sounds like shes changed her mind or is someone seeking attention. Anyone else think so?

[Anikaca77]

This was my last e-mail to her which I sent yesterday:

Mrsreymysterio,

It is getting very close to Saturday and Saturday is the only day that I can
come for the kitten.

Plus we are running out of time before Halloween!

What I would like is for you to give Pat your neighbors address so that she
can go and pick up this kitten if this is the way we have to do. I'm only
at work tomorrow and I'll need to print off directions so that I can meet
Pat on Saturday!

Next I called my vets yesterday and scheduled an appointment for Monday
evening at 7 pm to have this kitten checked out. Pat told me she e-mailed
you her cell phone number and I would really really suggest giving her a
call with your neighbors address so that way she can get this kitten.

Plus I gave you that calling card # and here it is again incase you can't
call Pat's cell phone for whatever reason you can use my calling card.

Here are the directions again.

The phone # is

1-866-351-4042

Press 1 for English

Pin # is 106 639 401 4

We need to make this happen ASAP!

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but I don't want this kitten getting
killed on the road or worse when Pat and I have the chance to save it but
the communication here is not very clear and we need to know the address of your neighbors and we won't look for you or anything.

Now if you want to go and take this kitten in and call Pat and get her to
meet you somewhere with this kitten that is fine but we are running out of
time! Halloween is coming up very quickly.

We just need the address of your neighbors so that we can get her inside and that I can meet Pat on Saturday since I can't meet her on Sunday!

Please try to understand we need to get this kitten inside regardless if
your neighbors are still willing to give her up or not! They do not deserve
to have her, and the parents should be taken to court for allowing their
boys to beat up on a defenseless kitten.

Please get back to me ASAP or call Pat on her cell phone with the calling
number I provided you.

It's beginning to sound that way, isn't it? I hope I'm wrong!

[Medusa]

Yes, it's annoying when people ask for help, then don't cooperate. I hope it's that she's just lazy and doesn't pay attention to questions in the email but to withhold a phone number sounds fishy. I sure hope I'm wrong.

[JustineNYC]

She hasnt asked anyone for money has she?

[Anikaca77]

Nope she sounds like she does care for the cat, I think she just is being cautious due to living in a city.

Here is the one e-mail that Pat and I received on Sunday:

"Shes okay, I just drove by my neighbors house and the kitten was sitting outside on their steps.

I just have to find out from my neighbors, if their still looking to rehome her, which, as far as I know, they are. I'm a little protective of her, beings I try my best to take care of her when I can. So, I want her to go to the best home possible, a loving, indoor home. After the life shes had now, she deserves it.

I will get back to you as soon as I talk to my neighbors about her and please, if I do decide to let her go to your friend, assure me, that, in fact, she will be loved, taken care of and an indoor cat. I'm sorry, not trying to be rude, I just really love animals and her and want to make sure, she will be safe in her forever home."

I hope she's not pulling my leg and I'm sure she's not, I just think she's busy with her kids probably or something.

This is the email that I just sent to mrsreymysterio:

I have been checking Pet talk regularly and have seen that you are seeing the kitten again! YAY!!! Phesina (Pat from Pet talk) lives here in MI and is a WONDERFUL "kitty person"...she would love this little gal with all her heart. I PROMISE you that we are all legit. I first started using this website when I found a handicapped stray that I needed to find a home for before we left New Jersey (we just moved here to Mi in July). I didn't have a choice other than to give out my address and phone number. I was scared to do that too, but a kind man named John came to my hose and picked up the cat...along with a newborn kitten that my husband found the day before!! There people are all AWESOME and extremely trustworthy. Steal this little kitten if you need to and meet Pat...you will love her dedication to this poor angel kitten....I promise!

God Bless...we are all praying for the kitten and you!

Hopefully this may help....

[Catty1]

Would there be any point in emailing the guy who runs her ISP? Melissa found a way to track it down to somewhere on Miner Street, Palma MI...but that's about all.

I have another idea...back in a bit.

[Anikaca77]

Catty,

please keep in mind that this address may not be correct and that I may not have the right place at all.

I'm really hoping this women will e-mail me very soon.

I'm kinda wondering if she made all this up to be honest..we'll see

[Catty1]

I know. The IP provider is in Jackson MI...I sent all the info to a bright creative computer guy to see if he had any ideas.

[phesina]

As I just posted in Cat>Rescue>Anyone Near Jackson, Michigan?? 6 Week Old Kitten Needs A Home :

Melissa and I have both posted messages to the original Petfinder thread about this kitten (http://forums.petfinder.com/viewtopi...631871#1631871).

We have been trying for days to get this woman to get in touch with us, and we've gotten very few messages (none in the last 3 days or so) and no phone calls from her. She didn't even give us her name!, let alone address or phone number or any other identifying information.
Pat

I also looked up the Cascades Humane Society in Jackson, which she said she had contacted about taking the kitten and they'd told her they were full. The Humane Society is open tomorrow 12-6pm. I plan to give them a call, to see if they might have an address or any information that might help. And then depending on what I learn, a trip to Jackson may be on the agenda! According to Mapquest the CHS is 38.40 miles away from me and it should take me about 42 minutes to get there because the trip is almost entirely on I-94.

Does anyone here have a Petfinder account?

I went to the link and clicked "Profile" on the user's post...but because I don't have an account I can't log in. Not that there would be any useful information there, but you never know.

hey - how about contacting the PF moderator, if there is one?

[Catty1]

Hey, Pat - phoning Cascades, or having the Jackson HS do it, might not be a bad idea!

ETA: How about posting that quoted message to the Petfinder thread?

I'm trying to register so I can check the Profile, and even contact the admin...no luck so far.

[phesina]

I have a Petfinder account. I just signed up for it today. It was easier for me to get onto than Pet Talk! (Guess what my username or handle or whatever they call them there is. )

And guess what also: aside from revealing that pugluver's language is English and time zone is GMT-5 Hours and gender is unknown, the profile has no actually identifying or descriptive information whatsoever! SURPRISE!

Here's the only bit of slightly-interesting information there about her:

Which suggests some kind of hit-and-run troll?

I think I've found the moderator or, actually, administrator to get in touch with, and now I'm composing my private message to her/him/them/it (auto-responder?)/whatever.
