Kittens/Cats in need of Help in Bellefonte, PA

[Anikaca77]

He does help to be honest, I was just really angry at him last night. He said he's really proud of me for what I'm doing and he is always there for me, especially when one dies. He has helped out more than I expected. I just need to vent.

Have you heard anything back from any of the stations yet? I have one person that says she wants one so maybe tonight I'll go kitty hunting and I'm crossing my fingers that I don't see any really sick or dying.

Nothing yet, sorry!

Maybe your BF could follow up with all the TV and Radio stations in your town(ask for the newsroom or news dept), as well as Town Council.

He can say he is following up on an email sent by me, Candace Carnie.

Even if he leaves voice mail, it will be something.

I will and you are right even a voicemail at least it's a step. I just can't belive that I haven't had more responses for people wanting kittens/cats.

I'm so glad about the white kitten, I mean JD. He is so loved. I hope this next cat/kitten I'm able to get will be loved just as much.

It's wonderful that JD found a home with both loving and responsible guardians and it must be a great boost to your morale. Good luck with your kitten hunting tonight or tomorrow. Perhaps you can get the orange one then.

What is a good way to get people to come and take these cats.

I put out flyers and I've put them on the popular website to try to get someone to take 2 or 3 cats or even 1 but nothing yet, I got a call today from someone when I got home and then I called her back and told her the cats will need to go to the vet first and then spayed/neuter and she said she was looking for a healthier kitten.

I was so mad. These cats will make a great pet...just someone needs to have heart.

JD was covered in fleas and they said that fleas carry the ringworm diease so the vet also told the family that it was good thing we got him when we did because he would of died a week later probably from the fleas sucking his blood.

This situation now has me really scared into thinking maybe I should try the SPCA and see if they can help but I know if they do go out they may end up putting the cats to sleep and I'm against that to some degree.

I'm so confused about if I should call them or not.

Melissa - first, get your BF to do followup calls.

Next, call the SPCA, see if you can talk to someone who seems to know what's what, and ask them for referrals or suggestions. Surely they must know if any bylaws apply here?

Your town gov't has "ordinances" that are governed by bylaws...not sure exactly how that works...but I'd have your BF call them anyway - and not the health dept.

I'll check my email in a bit...but a few stations had an autorespond mechanism, and said the volume of email meant individual replies are unlikely. So a follow-up call can only help!

Cathy,

I would have him do follow-ups but he works alot it's hard time to even see eachother he's working day shift now it's hard to call places because most places are closed by the time he gets home..

I will call the SPCA and see what they can do but they never seem to want to help and from what I've heard from all the organizations I have called around my area they don't even bother investigating small claims because it's usually a waste of there time but I do have a lead I'm going to follow up on and so we'll go from there. I just don't want these cats to have to be put to sleep but I also don't want them dieing of a diease that could of been helped. It's just I don't have money to help these cats and I don't have a place to put them.

I will go and catch the one kitten first before hand and see what happens.

There has been a stray outside my place that I've been feeding since last fall and now she's pregnant...so she's gaining my trust more and more and I want to get her before she has her baby so they can get a good home and she can get spayed and find a good home as well.

She's such a beautiful cat.

Gotta run for now thank you again for all that you are doing. I really appreciate it.
