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

[jennielynn1970]

My neighbor subs part time at the school. She also helps doing paperwork in attendance. I am not sure if she is supposed to share that info, but I wont tell if she doesnt

Yeah... That's called putting her job is serious jeopardy. Depends on how much she wants to get involved. Seriously. That's like something you'd definitely get fired over.

OK. I have Andy and Amos. My husband said that I can keep them indoors until next weekend. Then they must go into the barn. Unless they decide to keep the squaling to a minimum. I may be able to push a little more time inside.

I need atleast one more cage. I need help with transport.

The vets costs are really high. I really need to atleast get them exams and combo testing, for right this second. I will call Dr.Lehr tomorrow and make sure that if someone sends money, that the receptionist will be sure to put it in the stray cat fund. I will post that address tomorrow.

My paypal account is [email protected]

I will post totals and the cost of all of supplies that I buy, so that everyone knows that the funds are going to the cats, and not into my pocket. Thank you all in advance for any help, advice and suggestions.

Katie - I know you don't have actual figures for vet costs yet, but can you give us a general idea of other costs. How much is a cage - $40, $50? Do you have offers of foster homes that are closer, and much cheaper, to reach than mine? Do you have any idea of travel costs? I know you are frazzled right now but the clearer the information you give, the better we can assess how we can help.

Lizzie, I am looking at around 40.00 per cage. I will go to Petsmart tomorrow to get cage prices. I was going to go tonight, but go held up for 2 1/2 hours at another store.
The vet costs are about : Combo testing, 40.00
Exam, 39.50
IF ANTIBIOTICS ARE NECCESSARY: 18.00 per cat

That is all I know as of now. I do not have any offers for fosters in my area. I thought I might have a foster with the vet I used to work with, but she said that she is moving soon, and just cant help right now.

I have one offer in Rhose Island MAYBE to take one cat. I would be willing to travel if needed. Just not over 3 hours one way.
AND Me and Melissa will be meeting probably on Feb 17,2007. I will drive halfway to Kentucky. If anyone knows anyone along the way, or even off that route willing to help, we can try to work out transport then as well. '

Is this any better?

[Lizzie]

Yes, that's a great help. I will send you $40 for the first cage tonight - as soon as I've fed myself and a horde of ravenous cats, including this once-feral sweetie who is sitting on my lap:

Katie - problem, I don't have a paypal account and don't want one. I can send a check but that will take a few days. I could call your PetsMart (or was it PetCo) and use my credit card over the phone as I did to pay for a shipping crate for Beans that Melissa picked up.

How about posting the vets information on here so those that would like to help could call in and make a donation directly to the vet for their vetting?

[Lizzie]

Laura - Katie said that she would do that today. She wanted to call and get more information first, and get the earliest appointment.
