Kitties up for Gas 2/20/06

[mrbluekittie]

The shelter doesn't care! I think they enjoy putting them to sleep. You have to have a very sick and mental mind to want to hurt any kind of animal. One person on another forum called the shelter and asked about their policies - the shelter got irritated with her and hung up on her after he told her that if she cared so much then why couldn't she rescue them. They are not nice people!!

Our resources are very limited with Save the Kitties, Inc. and that is why we can't rescue any cats or kittens for a couple of months. We have elderly people who do transports for us and will do transports if they are met 1/2 way. They are all volunteers and we pay for their gas only, not their time as we can't afford it.

If anybody out of the state of GA is interested, post your location here and we'll see what we can do. Shipping can get quite expensive and most other rescues are also full due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Thanks,

I just went to Delta airlines. Here are the charges for shipping a pet...

SML/100 series 21 x 15 x 16 6 lb. $45.00 Any Delta aircraft*
MED/200 series 27 x 20 x 19 12 lb. $65.00 Any Delta aircraft*
MED/300 series 32 x 22 x 23 18 lb. $75.00 Any Delta aircraft*

A clean bill of health is required. Seems feasible-infact, i am willing to do the work if anyone far away is interested. The world is a big place but technology has joined us together. I say a small price to pay to save a life!

gosh I just can't pay for all or for one and leave all others. I'm able to take them in and find them good homes just if they were the local cats. (thanks for trying, turino).

mrbluekitten, where are you exactly located? I'm in upstate new york but going to be out of state this friday for a couple of weeks so I don't know what or how to help.

can't anyone of you or else than shelters take them home for temporary then bring to other shelters (unless permenante home found), at least maybe that way their death row starts over. you gotta try anything, right?

I was on the Saving Shelter Pets forum and A06-311, A06-312 and A06-313 will be rescued. That leaves Buffy and the Grey kitty. They are both up on the 20th.

I am in Wisconsin. I volunteer for Save the Kitties, Inc. and try to get people to adopt or foster these poor helpless cats. Believe me, I've done my share of donating, sponsoring and now I'm fostering from this shelter. You can sponsor a kitty if you want. Put in the adopt papers, email Christine at the email provided above and tell her you want to sponsor. Save the Kitties, Inc. will help somewhat with trying to find them a foster home or adoptive home by putting them on our Web site, but you will have to help. All kitties that are taken from the shelter will go to our boarding facility for 10 days to relax before going to the vet. During that time, if you do sponsor, try and find them a foster home. Normally we would do it all, but financially we cannot for awhile.
