URGENT situation with Kt_luvs_kitties and the outside cats!!update 2/19 NEW PICS

[areias]

I think if we could get Katie a big dog cage that she could put Amos in that he wouldn't be able to tear up the carpet and that would settle ricky down somewhat. They rent and that is one reason he is so upset.

I have a small dog crate I could send...but its not that big. Big enough for say... a large cocker spaniel? If she's interested. Otherwise look through craigslist...I just got a huge dog crate, collapsible/doubledoors/divider and almost new for $30.

I think that would be tter than nothing at this point. I can pm you Katie's mailing address if you want to go ahead and ship it to her. That would be such a big help.
Thanks so much

Alright, no problem. Go ahead and PM it to me...I'll see if I can find a way to pack it LOL. I am leaving for work right now-actually kind of late-and won't be home until after 11 tonight. But I will be able to ship it tomorrow morning, if that's okay. Just let me know.

[doolittleky]

Just pm'd you the address. Thanks so much!

Borzoimom was talking about how she has several large dog crates - maybe PM her and ask about them?

[doolittleky]

ok thanks!

Does Katie need food, dishes ect. Supplies at all???? I could see if I could pull some things together we are all big animal lovers at work I could see what I could put together. Poor kitties....Sometimes I think people can be so heartless!!! Animals have a spirit to live just like all of us I just wish self centered careless people could live in a cat, dog, bird, ect. body and live like they do! I bet they could look past their own life and realize that we all just want to live without fear! That goes for cats too!

I havent responded to this thread- because these crates I have are made for very large dogs- I am very worried about the wire spacing and would feel awful if there was an accident.
Also- this was being discussed not on pet talk but gabbly with a group of people that I knew had large dogs. It was not an open invitation as all crates do not work for all situations..

That is why I told her to PM you and ask you about them. I didn't say if you'd be willing to give them up. I just remember you talking about them and they are in a very tight situation at the moment, so anything helps.

Katie is called in a state of panic! She has ONE WEEK for Andy and Amos to be inside and after that she will have NO CHOICE! She has one cage coming from AREias( I hope i spelt that right) and it should arrive maybe tomorrow but she needs funds so that she can buy another cage to put them in and also for medical expenses to get them combo tested etc. She will be going to her mom's tonight to get online and let you know her paypal acct to send any donations to. Please please anyone that can offer help so she can save these cats. The lady left many of her cats and Katie doesn't know if some are friendly or not. She wants to help as many as she can. But right now she needs help for Amos and Andy. If everyone put in a few dollars she could get a cage. Sorry I am rambling but she has gotten me upset too.

Are you saying that her husband has said that she can only keep them in the house for one week and then they must go elsewhere? Is that what you mean? Or do you mean someone is going to come out in a week's time and trap all the cats this woman left behind.

So, correct me if I am wrong, Katie needs general funds for:

Cages
Transportation costs to wherever she can find foster/permanent homes for them.

Vet funds for:

Combo testing
Neutering
Care of wounds

If any of them end up FIV+, let me know, and I'll see if I can get them up here with my FIV guys. I'd like to help where I can.

[Lizzie]

Thank you for that offer, Jenn. Katie thinks one of them is FIV+, he's also deaf and has short front legs compared to the back. I offered to take him but transporting him up the east coast would be very much easier than moving him across the country. I'm sending her some money to help with his combo test - her vet charges nearly $70 for each test which is twice as much as my vet, and he's not cheap.

[areias]

Has she recieved the crate yet? Just wondering...
