Kittens/Cats in need of Help in Bellefonte, PA

[Lizzie]

Ah! If only they could know how much better their lives would be, I'm sure they would be running towards you. Good luck in catching them tonight.

Well I went home for lunch and I had a message on my answering machine from the women who owns the house with the cats in her yard saying she her a cat crying so she went outside and she saw one lying on her yard. She said she picked it up and wrapped it in a blanket and put it on her front porch.

What she didn't realize is that it is hot outside and that you can't wrap up a cat in this heat and second you don't put a kitten on your front porch where is smells like shit and there is shit everywhere. I wanted to go right out there at lunch time but I couldn't because I had to go back to work, I already took off earlier this week to try to catch them and I left early monday because I was so depressed about this situation.

I don't know what I'm going to find when I get over to her house, hopefully the cat was just hungrey and I'll be able to feed it or hopefully if it was sick enough it died and I won't have to have it put down.

So I went to this womens house after work and the little kitten was dead on her front porch.

I just want this women to go to jail for what she has caused these kittens to go through.

I'm so upset. I'm starting to wondering if I'm really cut out to be helping these kittens, plus I tried to catch the two again tonight and I can't. They are just so fast. I'm just not that fast.

Can you borrow a live trap or two?

How frustrating that no one is helping! How about some of the vet techs at the offices? Ask them if they even KNOW anyone - they might be assuming you have people helping you if you haven't told them otherwise!

You might just need them for one evening.

Do you get close enough to these two kittens that you can throw a towel over them?

I say go to the media - you will get help! People can contact you through the TV station or whatever, so you don't have you give out your phone # on the air!

Call them and plead for help and tell them what you are doing!

I didn't try any vet techs yet. It's just so frustrating...there was a lady who contacted me and told me she was looking for an orange one but I told her that I would try to catch it but there is alot a all white with a little grey patch on it's head and would you like that one instead of a grey tiger (she said she wanted two in the beginning so I thought I better make sure she would take the white with grey patch befor even setting out to do so).

So yesterday night, finally I caught an all white cat with a grey top, but the only thing is, is the organization I'm working with informed me that the president had a nervous breakdown so the vice president of the organization doesn't know what is going to happen to the organization or anything or even the money that I was told would pay for the vet bills to get these guys checked out.

So I informed the lady of this and told her I would try to help her out as best as I could, although I'm pretty broke right now from running to bellefonte which is 20 mins from me and going there twice a day with gas prices.

So anyway I called her after I got this kitten and explained the situation with the organization and she said she would have to talk to her husband about taking both but they wanted the orange and white one, so she called back and said she didn't want this white and with grey patch on it's head and that she wanted the orange and white cat instead.

Now I had a cat in a dog crate outside my parent's house, not sure what to do with it, but I'm called her and left her a message to call me back and I'm just going to tell her that I can't catch the orange one, if she wants it she can come get it otherwise here is a beautiful white kitten that is scared and needs a loving home.

And at the beginning she went on and on about how this was meant for her to help out with rescuing a kitten/cat and now she's changing her mind. I'm so tired of people changing their mind, especially when I went to all the trouble of sitting outside this lady's house all weekend trying to get her a kitten.

Just now found and read through this thread...

Bless you dear Melissa for trying so hard to help these babies. I can only imagine how heartbreaking and frustrating all of this has been for you. I am really sorry that this one woman has now changed her mind. (((HUGS)))

Please keep in touch OK? We are here to encourage each other...

Also care for yourself. You cannot help the kittens if you don't care for yourself first. I don't think I could bear to see all that you have witnessed. But, some of those cats already have a new life because of you I totally admire what you and others are doing.



edit: corrected my typos!!

Okay, so I can't read!

Melissa, I have just emailed your first two posts and this link to every station I could find in Wilmington. TV and Radio. I asked them to contact me.

Where can they reach you if they want to? PM me!
