Okay, Friday night...I put the collar on kitty Wed morning. I had left a note for the people who really like her downstairs.
This afternoon I had a phone call from a young woman in the second condo building beside mine. She had read the note on the collar, and said she wasn't the owner, but that the cat was hanging around her place.
I called my vet, and because they were booked up, they suggested our Humane Society so a vet would see her - and our local HS is GREAT at reuniting animals with owners, and finding good homes for the rest! VERY low kill, unless necessary by illness or injury.
SO I was resigned to taking Rosie to the Humane Society...I hadn't heard from my downstairs neighbours, so I phoned.
The woman said she got my note - and in spite of the fact that her partner and his kids really loved Rosie and wanted to believe she was a stray, the woman had lived here for four years and had seen this kitty all that time. (Her partner and the kids are not around right now, and the cat hasn't come over!) However, since the cat needs care, her partner said he was happy to take her to the vet. I did my part and faxed the vet to say I would pay for the care(even the woman who phoned me noticed how awful her chin and neck were).
I took my carrier down to the neighbours, and Rosie's care is set.
If Rosie has a tattoo, then the vet will trace it.
I don't care about the owner right now - I just want Rosie to be well and healthy.
That's all the news for now.
Poor little girl!
