Kittens/Cats in need of Help in Bellefonte, PA

[Catty1]

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.

Well I went at lunch to get a trap from the SPCA so hopefully tonight I'll catch two.

I might try to get the pregnant girl outside my apartment maybe with the trap too, although she has come such a long way since last year with trusting me more and more, I'm afraid that it might really scare her and I don't want to harm her baby's if she is pregnant although I saw some pictures of pregnant kitties and she looks like them just not that big.

Well I'll let you all know how it turns out later.

Good luck with the trapping, and, yes, please keep us updated.

Did the SPCA give you guidelines on how to use a trap? Did they tell you to cover all except the door part with an old towel or sheet? Did they warn you that you might get anything, including possums, racoons and roaming tom cats in the trap? I just say that so you are prepared. If you place it near where you know they are hiding and put something tuna-based in there, you'll probably get something very fast.

Great ideas, I'll remember that and try that. I did use the trap before but I caught one cat that I couldn't take at the time so I'm sure he won't go in but maybe for the food.

Anyway, Ibetter go and I will get some tuna.

Thanks,

Melissa

I GOT A LITTLE GIRL!!!!!

She is a tortshell and so cute!!! It was so easy tonight. There were more kittens though and that was pretty sad but this one got a good home. They came tonight to pick it up and they had a little girl and she loved it.

I'm so glad. I just wish I could find familys for all of these other kittens that need a home.

But at least one is going to have a better life now.
