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

[MBones]

Hi all,

I'm jumping in late to this thread, but if I can be of transport assistance, let me know-I'm in Toledo, OH. I'm presently not working (lost my job) so I could help if needed. I dearly want to see this kitten get to a nice home...poor baby.

Not knowing all the details....can the kitty go *poof*?

i don't know all the situation...i haven't read all of it.
i freak out when i read about an abused animal...makes me so depressed.
i'm so sorry your going through such trouble...this is sad.
i hope this kitten is caught.

Well I just got this e-mail from Charity today:

With all the emails I get from you and Pat
and the phone calls, well, honestly, it's
making me want to look for another home for
this kitten, if, my neighbors even have it
still.
I don't know, I just don't feel comfortable
at this point anymore.
Right now, I am really upset, I am really sick
and I told Pat to call me at 8, she called me
now and woke me up and was telling me to do
all this stuff and basically calling me a liar,
I'm not a liar, I just feel as many emails
and phone calls as I get, well, it's not
making me feel comfortable about giving you
this kitten, exspecially when I'm told, you
can only get her before halloween and shes
all black.
I have told you and Pat repeatedly, that, I
could not get a hold of my neighbors, nor,
have I seen the kitten and that I would do
what I could and theres nothing more I could
really do.
I am sorry if I don't want to give out my
address or my neighbors, I dont know you or
Pat well enough to do that and that's something,
I just don't do.



This is the e-mail I sent her:
Hi Charity,

First of all, Pat e-mailed me and explained to me that she is very sorry for bugging you and I'm sorry as well. I never meant to burden you or make you feel uncomfortable. That's just not my style. Pat and I are just very concerned about this kitten. As stated on your petfinder ad: "Wed Oct 01, 2008 Kitten desperately needs a home" I thought that you meant that we would be able to adopt her that weekend once I contacted you but that has not been the case.

I love animals and I've always taken exceptional care of them and spoil them like crazy.

According to your e-mail that I received on Oct. 10, 2008 you told me: "I have to check with my neighbor and see if she's still available, because, I haven't seen her in over a week now and normally shes outside by herself. I'm even more worried, with her being all black and halloween coming up." I was merely trying to get her away from danger before Devil's Night.

Since Oct. 10th, I was looking forward to getting her that weekend and giving her a great home. But then sadly things kept coming up and it seems that we are never able to find out if your neighbors are keeping this kitten or not. Trust me if they are that's fine, I just hope they continue to keep it indoors or it might get killed. I'd also like to say that you were the one who mentioned that you wanted to find her a home before Halloween and so every weekend instead of doing some things that I need to do I kept waiting around to see if I'd hear that you go the kitten and I'm going to be taking a road trip to get her.

As for you being told that I can only get her before Halloween well according to your e-mail back on Oct. 10th you wanted to find her a home before Halloween and that's why I was pushing for Pat to come and help you out by trying to get a hold of your neighbors so we could find out if the cat is still alive or available.

Every time I've dealt with someone looking for a home for their cat or kitten, I've always had a number to contact and they would contact me back as well usually by phone so that we knew what was going on.

I understand that you don't have long distance and that's why I gave you my calling card number so that you could contact me and let me know what's going on.

Also, usually when someone is looking for a home they usually want the kitten or cat gone pretty quickly so I'm used to going and getting the cat and not having to wait 3 weeks in order to save her life.

Back on Oct. 17th you sent me this e-mail: "Sorry, I haven't replyed lately, I haven't been online. And yes, I seen the kitten again today outside. So, shes still around. I will try and talk to my neighbors tomorrow and see what I can do, so Pat can hopefully get her to you this weekend. I would like her rehomed, before devils night and halloween, beings shes all black and should not be outside." again you state that you would like her rehomed before devils night and halloween and that's what I've been trying to help you do. I wanted to save this kittens life not end it.

I'm very sorry from the bottom of my heart if I've made you uncomfortable in anyway, Pat and I never intended to scare you or make you uncomfortable all we wanted to do was to help you get this kitten inside and that's why I suggested to let Pat have your home address since you are not feeling well so that she could stop by and see if she could find the kitten or at least try to get a hold of the neighbors.

I'd really like to still adopt this kitten but I'm also sorry to say that I can't wait another month of waiting till you speak with your neighbors like I've been doing.

Thank you for your time reading this e-mail and if you'd like me to contact you again please let me know,
Thank you again for all your efforts,
Melissa


*I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has said a pray for this kitten and wanted to help her out, I'm not sure if I'm going to get this kitten at all or not but I just needed to say thank you to everyone who has posted to this*
Thanks,
Melissa

She needs to get her a$$ beaten! Who exactly does she think she is? She has done NOTHING to help this kitten. The only things she has done was type a few sentences, and then work everyone up! That makes it WORSE..

Tell her you can get a black kitten right off of Craigslist if that was your intention, heck, I will even look some up FOR YOU to show her. What a moron. No common sense, no sense at all!

I am fuming over here!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Wanted to add: If it stays outside Halloween night, then it is JUST AS MUCH HER FAULT as anyone else if someone hurts it...

Tell her FINE, take her in Halloween, all day/night, and I will pick it up the NEXT day/ Then she cant use that as an excuse anymore... She is FULL of excuses!

[Taz_Zoee]

Wow, that's all I can say......WOW! I wish I could understand what people think sometimes, but I guess that's just not possible.
Well, Melissa and Pat, you have both done as much as you possibly can to help this kitten. Too bad the person seeking the help hasn't been as cooperative. I just hope this kitten is, and will be, okay. Although, I'm sure we'll never find out either way.

[Emeraldgreen]

Tell her FINE, take her in Halloween, all day/night, and I will pick it up the NEXT day/ Then she cant use that as an excuse anymore...

I was going to suggest the same thing. If she brought the kitten into her own home the day before Halloween or on the day and kept it safe until November 1st then she would know that you are not trying to get the cat for Halloween but that you are trying to protect just as she says she is.
I know she has written that she has alot going on in her life but I'm sure she can fit one tiny kitten into a bathroom for one night and then you or Pat could come and get it the next day. Maybe she would feel better about that?

[kt_luvs_kitties]

You should suggest it, but I am telling you, it WILL be more excuses...

Have you given her a vet reference? If so, you can ask her WHY would you spend money on other cats, just to adopt one to kill it? That would be simply outrageous to even think...Maybe agree to make a vet appointment BEFORE picking up the kitten, and give her the info to see you are truthful. Your vet could vouch for you. I know mine would.

I hate to say this, but I truly dont think you are getting this kitten. I think she is yanking your chain, OR just does not want to be bothered with it. She wants to help, just not enough to get off her lazy butt and do it.. Seen that all too many times before

Either way, I pray for this kitten. I hope someone knows of this kitten, and the location, and takes it. Maybe someone else will cross its path that will love it. *wishful thinking*

She's a manipulator.

Well here is the last and final update, I just got this e-mail from her:


I talked to my neighbors aunt today about the kitten
and my neighbors have found a home for her. So, that
is why I haven't seen her. So, she has already been
rehomed. I am sorry for all the hassles, there was
really nothing I could do, until I spoke to the
neighbors and beings I couldn't do that, I spoke
to the aunt.

[Medusa]

I'm not buying a nickel's worth of it. You did what you could, Melissa and Pat, so the onus is on her.

[catfamily]

i wish people would believe others when they say they really WANT to help.
it's hard to find caring people in the world and when we have people like you Melissa doing so much for fur life...with the little you have and not a blink of the eye to reach out and help anyway,i wish the ones asking would TAKE the help
sorry you went through so much with all your own to worry and work hard for.
