Outside declawed kitty Splinter breaking my heart... *pics*

[jennielynn1970]

The last time I asked for a weekend day off was for my family reunion, and it was nixed. I'm a cashier at a foodmarket for my 2nd job, and I'm still on "probation" (started end of July), so if I can't get someone to fill in for me, and end up not going, it counts against me.

This is why I said, if I can plan it ahead (most of the October weekends are already booked up on the calendar... they allow 5 people to request off per day on... I had gone back to see when I could get a doctor's appt).

I go in next tomorrow evening. I will check again to see if all the weekends are booked. November calendar isn't up yet, so I have to wait for that. I'm thinking they may put it up once it's Oct. 1st.

It's not a matter of "replacing" funds, it's the fact that if I can't schedule, or switch, and I don't show, it counts against me and I could lose the job, so that's why I asked if Katie can hold off or not. If not, at least I can try to help with a transport if I have that ability and he comes through this neck of the woods.

What a love bug! We are also willing to take him if necessary. Espen (he's 7)saw the pictures and he said "AWWWWW, I would let him sleep with me and love him all the time!" Again though, we are pretty far away, but more than willing to open our home!

We actually rehomed our neighbor's cat just this past summer. They weren't abusing her, but they could have cared less. After her second litter of kittens, I took her to the vet and got her fixed and found her a new home. They asked about her for a couple of months, but I told them I just hadn't seen her and eventually they forgot about her....sad, huh? Now, she has a wonderful home with people who dote on her and she LOVES all of the attention! Anyway, my point is that I usually if the owners don't care enough to take care of the cat, they don't care enough to mind much if it disappears either.

I have not read all of the posts since my last posting. Marina, I did get your email.

Marina and her family are considering adopting Splinter as their indoor only kitty. I still have not got a chance to email back, but I will in a little bit when I get home. Splinter is still in my spare room right now (I am on my parents computer).

Just wanted to let everyone know I will answer all questions and such as soon as I get home. I am not avoiding anything! LOL I know everyone is wanting my thoughts and answers and such.

I will be back!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Ok. Marina I sent you an email.

I think that Marina is seriously wanting to adopt Splinter, she is in Ohio I believe. I really want to get him into a forever home.

It is not a HUGE rush to get him out, I can foster him as long as needed before a permanent home is ready, and transport set up/.

I have never had to set up transport before, so I am clueless how to do that. Well, one time I found someone going to Florida and had him drive a foster there and Rosethecopycat Picked kitty up, but that does not count. I will need help figuring out what and how to do this. Only problem, my transmission is going out on my car, so I probably would not be able to drive a very long distance...

I dont know if the "owner" will care, or even notice. Nothing has been said to me, and I have had him 2 full days. I imagine I will be asked and questioned, but that is it.

I really dont know the guy, to be honest. I know tidbits, and what is told to me by a friend of his, that lives in the neighborhood.

All I know if he needs a forever home, and I am willing to do whatever I can do to help get him that home.

I hope this clears up where this stands right now. I will update after me and Marina talk again Thank you for all of the offers and prayers and everything. I just love my PT family.

Well, we love you too, Katie...you are one of the most compassionate people I have known. PT is full of them, each one standing up for these poor defenseless innocent animals, doing the right thing and saving a precious life.

Splinter looks like such a lovebug! For someone to treat him so shabbily is a crime.

Let us know how we can help. My offer still stands!

[jennielynn1970]

Sounds good Katie. Whatever works out best for Splinter.

If we can get some transporting arranged, like I said, I will help as long as I'm not at work. If you need an overnight or more than one for him somewhere along the way, I will more than gladly do that as well.

Hugs to you all!

I have never arranged a transport before, but I have participated in them over the years. The first thing to do is find a route between your place and Marina's. That will give you an idea of how long the drive is. Then break it up into driving segments from 1-2 hours. After that it is a matter of selecting a weekend and asking for volunteers. It will likely take a month or so to get everything coordinated, but it can be done!

Good luck and I can contribute $ if need be.
