Free 2 Year Old Male Cat ****UPDATE TIGGERS AT MY HOUSE**

[Catty1]

Melissa - thanks. Would this "girl" even GET Tigger to a vet?

Anyway, I have some $$ to help with gas and medical stuff.

Could Ashley not take him in for a little while?

Anyway, looking forward to updates.

POOR TIGGER - he kept coming back to her and she just laughed???!!?

Can you get a spay voucher for HER?

Cathy,

I don't know if she would even get Tigger to a vet. Who knows. Thank you very much for saying you would help with gas and medical stuff I appreciate and.

Ashley is actually the owner of Tigger, my husband is going to check wit h a friend but we'll see about that option.

Hopefully maybe if it comes down to it the friend of Ashely will take the cat for a little while but we'll see tomorrow night.

Thanks again,
Melissa

Hi,

Sorry for all of these posts but I just spoke with my husband about all this and of course he's on board for saving Tigger so we are planning right now to go to Hubbard this Saturday to get Tigger. My husband pretty much grew up in the town next to Hubbard so we will be able to get there with no problems We will figure out how where we are going to keep him and what not after I figure out the boarding costs and stuff.

Anyone interested in donating can send to the TIGGER FUND in care of my paypal account.

Thanks,

Melissa

Melissa/Annika,
I live in Allentown, Pa., and have been out toward State College (actually picked up cats at the Huntingdon HS a few months ago for our shelter).

If you can get the cat, atleast get him tested and vaccinated, I'll go to the vet that does clinics and get the neutering. I'll can call my connection and see when she's doing a group of them again. Sassy is all by his lonesome upstairs, so if he can be nice and not pick on Sassy, we'll be good to go. We can then figure out a way to get him here (meet in the middle or me go out there on a day that I have off on the weekend (I have to figure out schedule with Full time and Part Time job... so patience is a must on this part...)

Jenn,

Okay here is what I found out so far.

The one place does boarding Monday - Friday so I could keep him there as long as he does not test positive for FIV/FELV. So I will probably just keep him at my house then on Saturday night and Sunday night.

As far as I have heard that this cat is very friendly but we'll see of course how he acts with Sassy. I really hope he does okay.

I could drive to Allentown on that following Saturday although I don't know my way around Allentown but I do know where Cabela's is, I know that's though 40 mins from Allentown but we could meet there if that would be okay or we could meet closer to Allentown if you prefer. My brother lives in Emmaus...near Dorney park we could always try to meet there as well.

I can also try to cut the cost of Boarding and just drive him there sometime during that week following his surgery and shots.

I'm going to call Orphans of The Storm since Mt. Nittany Vet. Hospital takes the coupon for the neutering as long as I can get one.

The cost for the coupon would be $55 which includes fixing, rabies, and distempermant.

If I don't get the coupon it would be ~$160 to neuter, rabies, and distempermant from the vets.

To FIV/FELV test Tigger it would be $38 and the cost to board Tigger is $14 a night as long as I pick him up by Friday at noon I don't get charged for that day.

So with the boarding costs that is: $56 for 4 days, Plus $55 for the neuter coupon (which I intend to call about today to get the coupon and hopefully I can give them a check over the phone since I don't get paid till Thursday) then $38 to combo test, then if he needs any type of flea medicine or ear medicine that could be another $30 or so...so the total as of right now as long as I can get the coupon from the Orphans of the Storm the price would be about $179 not including gas money or anything but we'll make it work somehow.

I will be patent don't worry. I'm just so glad you are willing to help take him in.

Thanks!

Melissa

I just got an e-mail from Ashley's friend (the one who posted the ad on state college.com) saying this:

Thanks but they can not afford to have that done. With what they had to
spend for moving, they can not afford it.
Thanks anyway

and here is the other e-mail she sent right after it

You can pick him up but he will not be fixed or have any testing. They can
not afford to have those done.

Maybe they should of thought of the cost before getting a cat!

Some people. I will just be so happy once I'm able to get Tigger in my arms.

Glad you can go get him! I hope that idiot thinks twice before EVER getting another pet!

Looking forward to Tigger being in your arms - and I bet you are too!

[Anikaca77]

Yeah me too and thank you again for your kind donation! I really appreciate it and I'm sure Tigger will too.

Ok another update, I just spoke with Orphans of the Storm and I have to send them a check first so I'm going to mail out a check for $55 so hopefully I will get the coupon in the mail by the end of this week to take it to Mt. Nittany next Monday.

Also, Jenn what happens if the cat turns out FIV or FELV positive?

Thanks,
Melissa

[Anikaca77]

Do you have any ideas on how I can raise money quickly?

I'm really strapped for cash and if I don't have a enough I might not be able to go this Saturday.

Raising money quickly....

Cheapcycle some things you don't need.

Donate plasma.

Only things I can think of that are legal...

[Anikaca77]

Sadly, I'm not allowed to donate plasma or I would. I'll ask around

Thanks!

I tried call the girl tonight and I haven't heard anything yet so I'm going to try in a little bit so we'll see.

Well, I can't take in a FeLV positive cat. I just don't have a space for one of them.

As for FIV+, I do have another FIV+ boy here, but he can sometimes be not very friendly with male cats. I will keep him here with my non-FIV+ boy upstairs if he's negative. If he's positive and not aggressive, I will try to keep him here as well. I really don't want to put a cat in the shelter.

One major thing that worries me is that I don't want to have another cat that is going to be unadoptable, and then have a cat living here for years as a foster. I am over the city limit by 5 right now (double the limit). There is a possibility that I could put him in our shelter if he's negative for FeLV and doesn't get along with my foster Sassy. I don't want to doom any cat to the shelter, but I guess it would be better than nothing. If he's negative for FeLV and FIV, and he's in good health and will be updated on his shots and neutered and will be able to handle being on display, he could go to PetSmart in the future as well. Any cat that is positive for anything or ill in any way is not allowed in PetSmart (their rules).

As for when to meet, I can't say right now because I don't know what my schedule is going to be for my PT job. I'm hoping to be able to know what it will be in a few days. I'll be there tomorrow night, so if I get an update, I'll let you know ASAP.

Jenn,

Sounds good we will just have to wait and see what happens that following Monday when I take him to the vets and see if he's good to go or what at that time.

Thank you again so much,

Melissa
