Another bad situation. * WARNING GRAPHIC PICS* Update 07/26

**kt_luvs_kitties** · 07-23-2007, 10:40 PM

Thank you so much for all of your advice and kind words... I am now off my pitty pot and ready to get this thing started.

I called my local Animal control, and their deposit was 20.00, PLUS atleast a 30 day wait period.

I called around and found a place called Harbor Frieght tools, and they said that their cages are on sale for 20.00 plus tax. I can manage that myself. He is holding it until Friday for me. At that point I will trap kitty if possible.
I have not seen him since, but like someone said, he is probably in pain and is hiding from me.

BUT I think the best thing for me to do, without taking money from fellow PTers and working up a VERY expensive vet bill is to take him and surrender him to a vets office. Then he would get tested, and if negative, treated and adopted out.

What do you guys think?

Again thank you so much for caring about this kitty.

For whom donated, I for now am going to deny payment... I am sorry to get you all worked up and trying to help. But I really dont need a HUGE bill right now, and the vet I will be taking him to is a huge cat lover, and I know that he hates when people do this, I know he will do the right thing.

HUGS - Katie and kitties

Lee- Please give Ace a kiss from me. I wish I could do it myself

Katie - that is good you are able to buy a live trap - or is this a "cage" cage? In any case, this will make it much easier for you in the future.

Because of the food, I would think this little guy will come around again.

How great to have a wonderful vet!

Now to get Little Orange in there, and hope he can be healed!

It is a live trap. I know this kitty is petrified of people. I could never get close enough to close a cage on him. I had to put out canned food, crack the door, and stick my hand out to get a picture. I just think it is best all around to turn him over. That way he has a better chance of getting better, and someone taking him and loving him. I pray he is negative. BUT I will keep everyone updated...

I was scared everyone would be cranky that I decided to let this one go.... Do what I could, but to give up in a way.

I also have a job interview on Wednesday.. I cant start school now with the little funds I have. I am going to get things straightened out at home, and then worry about that. I have too many bills and cats to take care of. I hope that I get it, and things WILL get better

Good luck on your job interview Katie. Don't worry things will look up soon. You are doing a great thing for those cats, and deep down, the one boy must know you mean well. Those cats would have no chance without you.

Still no sight of him. Still leaving food at at night. I have to leave tomorrow to try and get this job, but I should be back before dark. I do have a feeling he will be back. OR he already has came back and I missed it.

I tell you, it is hard getting things done around the hosue when I am running back and forth to check and see if he has arrived

Thank you all for your kind words. It really helps!

PS- I refunded the donations- please check and make sure you got them back. IF NOT- please let me know

Oh Katie, you are such a good person, working so hard to help the needy kitties out there. It sounds like you have come up with an excellent plan given the circumstances. Please keep us posted. You know that all the PT folks are with you!

I hope your job interview went well and you will soon be more financially secure.

We are all praying for you and this sweet kitty and sending you both our love and support and energy and good wishes. God bless you for caring so much and doing so much. No matter how this turns out, your efforts have not been in vain and have added to the total goodness in the universe (which needs to be added to as much as we can, what with so much badness around these days).. and this kitty has benefited from them.

Love and hugs and purrs,
Pat and cats

Thank you all so much for your kind words. Kitty is still MIA- But Friday morning, I will get the trap, I have a feeling that will work. SOMETHING other than opossums have been eating my kibble!

They changed it until tomorrow, so I have to get home soon to find the perfect outfit. I found out they are actually looking for 2 different jobs.

First is customer service, I have exp. in that, but I hated it. Cubicles - BLAH

And cash intake/account depositor- Not good with money, but I will try my best

Either way the pay is good, so I will do it. It wont be forever, just until things get better, and my back account has enough saving for emergencies.

WISH ME LUCK ON KITTY AND THE JOB!!!

Hugs and kitty kisses! Katie and kitties
