Can you help these cats?

[Emeraldgreen]

I just spoke with Pam at Suburban Animal Clinic and she was great. She spoke with the vet and they said that we can post their information here on the forum so here it is:

Attention Pam:
Suburban Animal Clinic
101 Thorncrest Dr
Butler, PA 16002-3931
Phone: (724) 287-5289

She also asked the vet if they could accept credit card payments and they said that they could. She is keeping a detailed list of what donations are coming in and from who as well and will be updating Rebecca on a weekly basis so Rebecca can keep us informed of where the donations are at.

I tried to make a credit card donation but because our postal codes here in canada are a series of letters and numbers rather than just numbers, Pam was having a difficult time processing it. I offered to send a cheque instead. But people from the states would have no problem with using a card.

I also spoke with Pam about the fact that some of Rebecca's cats are somewhat feral and asked if they had a trap they could lend out. Pam said they spay and neuter ferals all the time and they do have a trap they lend out but it is on loan right now. She will let Rebecca know when it comes available. She also said that she will be speaking today with a local woman named Cindy who traps ferals and brings them to Suburban Animal Clinic on a regular basis and see if she would have a spare trap she could lend Rebecca.
It looks like it's all coming together!

p.s. Thank you Kuhio98 for today's donation!!
I know what you mean about Pam being surprised that strangers would help, she was the same way when I spoke with her. LOL She seemed really happy about it.

Excellent news! I sent a check in the mail this morning and let Rebecca know about it. I wish I would have waited and just made it via a credit card, but it isn't a big deal. Next time, if needed, I will use that avenue. Emeraldgreen, I just wanted to thank you so much for all the work that you've put forth to help out these kitties, especially with all that you have been going through with your own.

I just want to thank everyone who has sent money and everyone who has put this whole thing together to make something beautiful happen for my cats. You guys are truly cat lovers. Some people probably think were crazy. Yea, were crazy about our feline friends. I love all cats regardless of their temperment or where they came from. In my town, if a stray dog is walking around, it is picked up immeditely. I am happy for that, but I am so sad that everyone turns their heads away when it comes to cats. I have had my neighbors call the police on me millions of times because my cat pooped in their yard. I have offered to clean up poop in everyone's yard just so they would be happy. I have had the police tell me to take the food off my porch because I am not allowed to feed strays. If I feed them, they become my personal responsibility. I don't care what they say. I put the food right back out on my porch. To me, they are my personal responsibility. It is kind of funny in my neighborhood. My neighbors complain all spring and summer. I try to tell them that most of the cats are strays and do not belong to me. I told them I have only two cats so that they will not call the city on me. They say I am lyin because all the cats in the neighborhood sit on my porch. I have this huge porch and it is filled with cats day and night. I will probably get a ticket this summer. I am trying to find a way to move out of the city so I can love my cats in peace. Anyway, it is so nice how you guys are reaching out and helping a stranger. I think that is so awesome. All of you cat people have beautiful cats and amazing stories to tell. I am so lucky that I found a vet that is so close and is willing to work with you guys. The vet lady seemed very surprized when I told her I was getting donations. She wanted to know the name of the website. In my town of Butler, I guess not many people reach out and help that much. Alls I can say is that if I find homes for these kittens and all adults are spayed, I am never going to question God again. I have been praying about this situation for months. Every month, at the end of the month, I can barely feed my children. I go to this amazing food bank and they always seem to give me just enough food to feed my five kids until the first of the next month. God is good. You guys are fantastic. keep up the good work. Love you all. Rebecca

Thanks Moesha, that is so nice of you.

Rebecca, I don't know if you've checked out the link that Freedom posted but it's really good and has lots of information. Here is a link to one of the pages that has suggestions about how to work with feral cats that you are bringing into you're family and how best to handle them.
