ENDANGERED--incont. cat, NJ

[GILL]

So you know I am NOT on line on weekends.

Good to know! Otherwise I probably would've been a bit frantic by Monday. LOL

PS-My suspicion is that they won't be operating because of the risk of more damage, but I'd like to see him on pred, although it may well be too late. Since I got laid off over a year ago, I have plenty of time to express him all the time and to chase around for appointments and all. It hadn't occurred to me that I have stuff to move out of his room, and I think I'll use Catty's tarp or shower curtain idea; I'm not sure a shower curtain, even extra large, is big enough though.

I'm also rattling around bedding ideas.

Maggie, it was Jen who came up with the tarp idea. See here:

Thanks for the link!

I can't get my paws on a plastic inflatable (washable) hospital mattress, so I guess I'll get Milo an eggcrate mattress and cut it into, say, 3 foot squares. They can be dumped if pooped or peed. Making a list for Wal-Mart...tarp, diapers, mattress, kibbles...

why not a toddler bed mattress. They are plastic coated or whatever. I used them for my foster cat that had bathroom issues.

I got mine off of the Freecycle network and Cheapcycle, and one toddler bed was free, the other was practically new, and I paid 10.00 for it.



Check out the Freecycle group in your area. LOTS OF STUFF FOR FREE!!!

Tarps, towels, bedding, pillows.
I put up a post on there a while ago for towels and stuff for my one shelter I volunteer at, I had so much stuff, it filled the back of my car with my seats folded down. Give it a try!!

BRILLIANT idea on the toddler mattress! Thanks!!

As far as his trip update, I'm freaking a good bit right now. Everybody but GILL backed out yesterday, and the person who has the contact with the "adopters" isn't replying. The person who gets things done, 10housecats, has been out of town and will be back online today. She got Ari a ride up here less than 24 hours before Ar would've gotten the Night Night Needle, so there's still hope, I guess.

Yes I am still available when needed. Is there any thing else I can do in the meen time. I just wish I had the room too take him. But at 13 we are over flowing and I might have a one in from the house next to us.
