Update!

Heaven's Gift has turned Ally down. They said she doesn't meet their qualifications for abuse or neglect.

Edit to explain that they do take in some serious abuse cases.... so it's not like they don't consider her neglected or whatever, but they provide hospice care. I just wanted to clarify that.

I'm sorry, Jenn, that's very disappointing though I can see why they would feel they had to turn her down.

As for a special suite for Ally at B.F., I think the main problem would be how they would add it on to one of their buildings. From what I've seen online, all their cat housing units are circular with outside runs almost all around the unit, so each room is like an orange segment, fitting into the whole. With a rectangular building, adding on is feasible, but not with a round one. They have quite a bit of temporary housing and perhaps they could be persuaded to use part of that, especially since they are trying to close out Pahrump and will be bringing those units back. A cat in isolation takes up more staff time so she would certainly need to be sponsored.

I'm sorry to learn this, Jenn. I was so hoping it would be a good new home for Ally.

Jenn - I emailed BF - and used all upper case ATTN: TAMARA

I gave her some more details and backup information, and the possibility of some funding for Ally, maybe even her own room

Hope that helps!

While having her own room sounds like a nice plan, I don't see it as a realistic endeavor at this point. I mean, it takes a lot of money, a lot of manpower, architects, permits and all the other things involved with adding an addition on to any building. I'd just be happy if they could take her in.

I agree Jenn, just happy if they take her.
PT donations arent going to be able to add up to what a building addition would cost. I'm guessing, minimum $20,000 that probably gets you a floor and no roof LOL

[Catty1]

I wasn't implying that PT would pay for the whole thing. Lizzie said they are trying to close up Pahrump and bring some units back - maybe just a reno would be needed for the short term.

I think just being willing to sponsor would be an incentive...and Ally would make for a great story...

PT Prayers for Ally!

Jenn got an email from the lady at BF (I had emailed her too). I hope Jenn doesn't mind me mentioning something about this...but the BF said they had no room (understandable), but gave Jenn a list of links and suggestions and stuff to try.

HECK, she has done EVERYTHING.

I logged into BF PA, and couldn't find a place to post an URGENT notice. So I finally just messaged the moderator.

This cat needs a SPACE!

I've tried to Google places for Special Needs cats in PA, and can't find any.

HELP!

And Julie isn't answering her emails....who knows, Ally might be fine if she was with her again and the only cat (no, no more flights. Just a thought.)

Does anyone have a spare room? Just give her a fairly wide berth and you'll be ok.



Jenn might have to do the unthinkable, and that is the last thing she wants to do....

Oh my gosh this is so sad to read , i feel so bad for everyone and Ally too,if only there were a simple solution, it sounds as if her being a barn cat would be for the best,

I cannot believe Julie would shed her responsibility entirely in this,it just does not sound like her at all.

I hope with all my heart something good can come out of this, and to those who have opened their hearts and wallets to taking care of Ally,
