Ok, PTers I need YOUR help saving two kittens that are going to die

[CultureJunky]

I have to admit until I joined Pet Talk, I didn't even realise that there were places that put cats/kittens down like that on such a scale. I understand they are over run, particularly when cats are in season, but I just didn't know that people would do that. I don't know of any places like that in the UK, though if there are any places like that that anybody in the UK knows of I'd like to know where they are.
There are lots of sanctuarys in the UK that don't put cats down, and also the major ones such as Cat's Protection, PDSA and RSPCA.
Do they give them an injection so they just fall asleep? As this is the humane way of putting an animal down. I just hope they don't suffer when they die or I'd just feel so depressed
Good luck with getting these babies, let us know when you can which one they have already put to sleep, I hope it's not the little deaf girl

Ok, I am trying to go through all the responses from people that I got from leaving pleas everywhere I could think of yesterday. First thing I did today is call best friends and left an urgent message for them to call to see if they could help. Next I talked to Phylene(the volunteer at animal control. She said the boy is the deaf one, petfinder ahd had the girl being the deaf one. So there is a girl and boy still alive. They were at the vet getting neutered and spay this morning. I asked if they ahd been combo tested and she said no but i could have that done while they were there today if I had a credit card. So i called the vet to find out how much it cost and see about it because I didn't think my credit card would work because it was at the limit. She said whihc of the three? And I said there are 3 and she said yes. I said I thought the thrid one was put down. She said she would call Phylene and see what was going on. I prayed so hard that it was true and they all three were still alive. The vet called back and said that Phylene siad the other one was from a different litter that the one I was talking about had been put down. My heart sank again. She said I could have the other if I wanted it though, it was getting spay too. So after trying two credit cards the second worked and they both got tested and they turned out Negative, thank God. Phylene is suppose to pick them up from the vet this afternoon and take them home with her. So now is where I have to figure out how they are getting from utah to Ky. As I said I have been answering all the messages that were left. Hopefully I can figure this out. I am not to good at organization though so any help will be appreciated.

Oh and I just want to add this which made me sick to my stomach when I heard it. When I asked why one had been put down because I just couldn't understand how one did and they all didn't get killed. She said animal control put the black ones down first and then wants to give a variety of colors so that is how they picked the white girl. i guess they had alot of white kittens. I about died when I heard that!

Have you gone on the petfinder forum yet? I know that people there know more about transports.

[doolittleky]

Yes I posted there last night but have not gotten a response as of yet.

Best friends contacted me this morning and said she would be emailing some info to me about different routes I can take in transporting. But I havent' received them yet. Mugsy from here also called me and told me about Kittyhawk cargo that ships animals. I would have to get them to Denver Co for them to be shipped to Fort Wayne Ind. It would cost about 228.00 . I really don't have that kind of money but if I decide to go that route I will have to find it somewhere. Another person called me from somewhere that I had left a message and sent me links to truck drivers that do this for free. She said there is also an airlines where the stewardess's do it for free but she didn't know the name of it. Mugsy also said she is willing to set up a transport but because of the distance it would take two weekends for them to get here and they would have to stay somewhere for a week inbetween the transport. I am not sure what the best thing to do is but i only have until the 19th to get them here because the volunteer can't keep them past that.
