ENDANGERED--incont. cat, NJ

[critters]

It's looking like he'll be coming down not this weekend but the next (weekend of the 25th). He's 6 hours away. I'll post when there's a transport schedule set up.

This morning I warned the only vet still with the practice that helped me with Buddy that she should dig up Buddy's records and that Milo/Sherbet may be coming down.

The people have insisted that he HAS to be out by the end of the month.

Thanks for asking!

[Catty1]

At least the people didn't throw him out on the street...but I AM glad to hear that he is coming down. I don't recall - but I think you had offers of help with transport.

Prayers for this sweetie! I hope some surgery will fix him up.

Got any kitty diapers meanwhile? Poor Sherbert - kitties love to be clean, so I can imagine how uncomfy he is.

HUGS to him, and bless you for helping!

[critters]

LOL! Actually, his butt will be in human diapers (lots cheaper).

PS--There's been some interest from people from Baltimore or DC southward, but the rest is still hanging, as far as I know.

[GILL]

If you need a driver to take him I can go as far a Baltimore.

[critters]

THANKS so much GILL!! I'll pass the word to the people setting up his transport.

[GILL]

So you know I am NOT on line on weekends.

[critters]

Good to know! Otherwise I probably would've been a bit frantic by Monday. LOL

PS-My suspicion is that they won't be operating because of the risk of more damage, but I'd like to see him on pred, although it may well be too late. Since I got laid off over a year ago, I have plenty of time to express him all the time and to chase around for appointments and all. It hadn't occurred to me that I have stuff to move out of his room, and I think I'll use Catty's tarp or shower curtain idea; I'm not sure a shower curtain, even extra large, is big enough though.

I'm also rattling around bedding ideas.

Maggie, it was Jen who came up with the tarp idea. See here:

Thanks for the link!

I can't get my paws on a plastic inflatable (washable) hospital mattress, so I guess I'll get Milo an eggcrate mattress and cut it into, say, 3 foot squares. They can be dumped if pooped or peed. Making a list for Wal-Mart...tarp, diapers, mattress, kibbles...

why not a toddler bed mattress. They are plastic coated or whatever. I used them for my foster cat that had bathroom issues.

I got mine off of the Freecycle network and Cheapcycle, and one toddler bed was free, the other was practically new, and I paid 10.00 for it.



Check out the Freecycle group in your area. LOTS OF STUFF FOR FREE!!!

Tarps, towels, bedding, pillows.
I put up a post on there a while ago for towels and stuff for my one shelter I volunteer at, I had so much stuff, it filled the back of my car with my seats folded down. Give it a try!!

BRILLIANT idea on the toddler mattress! Thanks!!

As far as his trip update, I'm freaking a good bit right now. Everybody but GILL backed out yesterday, and the person who has the contact with the "adopters" isn't replying. The person who gets things done, 10housecats, has been out of town and will be back online today. She got Ari a ride up here less than 24 hours before Ar would've gotten the Night Night Needle, so there's still hope, I guess.

[GILL]

Yes I am still available when needed. Is there any thing else I can do in the meen time. I just wish I had the room too take him. But at 13 we are over flowing and I might have a one in from the house next to us.

[critters]

Aww, you're something else, GILL! Things aren't looking too good at this point; apparently they've decided to put him somewhere they won't disclose, and all the other drivers have backed out.

[jennielynn1970]

Why are they being so evasive when they're asking for help??

I'm in PA if you need transport help. I'm in Allentown, close to the turnpike.
