Kittens/Cats in need of Help in Bellefonte, PA

[Anikaca77]

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

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.

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.

Good to hear!

Did you get any of the "office staff" to help out?

Actually, have you asked any folks at YOUR office if they can help? Maybe check with your supervisor and see if you can post something in the lunchroom.

The kitten I gave away friday night died this morning.

The lady said she didn't eat or drink anything the day before. Not sure if it had cocicida or not.

I'm so upset now. I made this little girl so happy who got the kitten and now it's dead.

At least it didn't have to die in that disgusting house.

I have talked with some of the office staff, my office is very small and everyone knows everyone else's business so they all know but only one was willing to forward on my e-mail flyer to her friends.

I think some of my co-workers think I'm a bit nuts when it comes to this.

Co-workers thinking you are nuts is normal and happens to all of us. You are the one making a difference, they are not. I'm sorry about the kitten who died. I wish a rescue organization would work with you because it sounds like this place needs a major effort - trapping, testing, spaying and neutering, the works.

Lizzie,

I did finally get a reply back from all the e-mails I sent around. It was from www.bestfriends.org.

They are trying to find resources here in pa to help me. Which is great, I just hope it's not too late for the kittens, especially in this heat. I'm afraid that the kittens have coccidia and without treatment they will die. Hopefully something will pop up soon.

I'm trying to keep positive but after I lost this little one in such a short time I don't know. I sent this women who is trying to help me all the pictures I have of this womens house and the cats dead and alive. It was pretty emotional going through the pictures and reliving each one.

Hi all,

I spoke with the homeowner last night the one that feeds the cats and asked her if I could put up an automatic feeder once I get it in the mail and she said that was fine. So I just can't wait to get it now.

Last night while I was there I saw a calico kitten probably under 8 weeks and she was sleeping but I was able to get to her faster to pick her up and of course she bit the hell out of my wrist but I'll live I wanted to check her out, and well of course it's a little girl and I was looking at her butt, and it had a little bit of yellow around her butt so I made a vet appt. for tomorrow night and I'm going to take her in and hopefully she'll get fixed up and healthy and I can adopt her out. I'm just hoping I can catch her tonight.

I'll let you all know about the details later.

Melissa
