Kitten 6-8 Weeks, Kids Abuse it. HEARD FROM HER TODAY THURSDAY!

[phesina]

As I just posted in Cat>Rescue>Anyone Near Jackson, Michigan?? 6 Week Old Kitten Needs A Home :

Melissa and I have both posted messages to the original Petfinder thread about this kitten (http://forums.petfinder.com/viewtopi...631871#1631871).

We have been trying for days to get this woman to get in touch with us, and we've gotten very few messages (none in the last 3 days or so) and no phone calls from her. She didn't even give us her name!, let alone address or phone number or any other identifying information.

I also looked up the Cascades Humane Society in Jackson, which she said she had contacted about taking the kitten and they'd told her they were full. The Humane Society is open tomorrow 12-6pm. I plan to give them a call, to see if they might have an address or any information that might help. And then depending on what I learn, a trip to Jackson may be on the agenda! According to Mapquest the CHS is 38.40 miles away from me and it should take me about 42 minutes to get there because the trip is almost entirely on I-94.

Does anyone here have a Petfinder account?

I went to the link and clicked "Profile" on the user's post...but because I don't have an account I can't log in. Not that there would be any useful information there, but you never know.

hey - how about contacting the PF moderator, if there is one?

[Catty1]

Hey, Pat - phoning Cascades, or having the Jackson HS do it, might not be a bad idea!

ETA: How about posting that quoted message to the Petfinder thread?

I'm trying to register so I can check the Profile, and even contact the admin...no luck so far.

I have a Petfinder account. I just signed up for it today. It was easier for me to get onto than Pet Talk! (Guess what my username or handle or whatever they call them there is. )

And guess what also: aside from revealing that pugluver's language is English and time zone is GMT-5 Hours and gender is unknown, the profile has no actually identifying or descriptive information whatsoever! SURPRISE!

Here's the only bit of slightly-interesting information there about her:

Which suggests some kind of hit-and-run troll?

I think I've found the moderator or, actually, administrator to get in touch with, and now I'm composing my private message to her/him/them/it (auto-responder?)/whatever.

Great idea!! Can I haelp??

[phesina]

Great idea!! Can I help??

Thank you, moosmom! Right now I can't think of anything, but I'll let you know if something comes up. Are you in Michigan also?

Meanwhile, please pray for this little kitten (assuming she's for real) and that we get her out of that awful situation and home with Melissa soon. Please, everybody pray for the little kitten!

Yesterday I e-mailed the Petfinders administrator asking if he/she can find out if this user and story are for real and if so encourage her to let us take the kitty to safety.

Then I wrote another e-mail to the Cascades Humane Society asking if they had any contact information for this person, who had said she called them but they told her they were full or any suggestions on how we can save this kitten. Then I called them to follow up on the e-mail.

I was told that if when she called she was told they were full (and they've been full for months), then there would be no record of the call. One person at the CHS, named Sue, might be able to give me a little assistance, but she won't be in to work until Tuesday (they aren't open Sundays or Mondays).

I asked the person I spoke with if she would e-mail my message to Sue so she will see it before Tuesday, and she said she would.

Still no reply from the admin or responses to my Petfinder and e-mail messages to pugluver/msterio/whatever.. and no phone calls.

Thanks,
Pat

I would suggest sending a email to [email protected] as that will, usually, redirect to someone who can assist.
