Thank you all for the advice and support. It really helps to hear you are doing the right thing sometimes.

Animal Control could not care less. I know that sounds bad, BUT they dont. The only offer I would get is for them to take the cat and make the guy pay a fine. That would not help, and to be honest, I get NERVOUS if he actually does let this kitty in, even for a minute...

And I do not think that the guy would come looking for the cat, if he went *POOF*. He may ask about him, but I could always just deny deny deny. Been there done that!

We bought this house in late December, and when we moved here, the guy was married, and the kitty stayed inside about 75% of the time. Once the woman moved out, the cat went out with her. (3-4 months maybe).

I could cover his vet bills.. I am sure he needs shots. He is fixed already ( I checked ) I have put an advantage on him, and dewormed him myself. He was covered in fleas, so I have done it monthly for about 3 months.

If someone on here truly wants to adopt him, and keep him indoors only and love him, please let me know. I am sure we could get some kind of transport set up. I can cover the vet cost to get him utd and an exam.

Thank you all again for these offers and help. I am sure if Splinter knew that lots of people all over the WORLD are praying and rootin for him, he would have an extra pep in his step

For now he is resting in his cage in my spare room. I have a 4 bedroom house, and EVERYROOM is taken by cats... Go figure

Just glad hubby does feel kinda bad for him. He seems to have struck a cord on Rickies heart... BUT not enough of one to keep him... He says I am allowed 10 cats, and I am 5 over already
