Oh NO not another one!

Lara, you're right, being in the cage is much better than where she was. I just told my husband what I did. He is furious!! Not so much at me but at my friend. I feel awful but I don't know what else I could have done. My friend is such a high-strung type person, and she is feeding and vetting most of the cats in her neighborhood. Her house cats are VERY territorial and she can't deal with the drama. That's why she always calls me. She is also the type of person that just doesn't understand NO! Which I did tell her and you see how that worked out.

I can get pics of the newbie but I'm not sure how to post them. Would you PM me how?

Sent you a PM.

I wonder if she would use any of her energy to join/create a TNR group?

Emeraldgreen is doing so in her area, after contacting another group in another town, and someone is going to come speak to a few interested people.

Is there a TNR person or group in your area? Your friend might be able to use her high strung energy in a long-term way...preventing more strays from being born.

Prayers that the little sweetie is ok!

Ohio Humane has TNR and is looking for volunteers: http://www.humaneohio.org/get_involved.htm (Toledo)

These groups can refer you to ones nearby. I hope your friend checks these out. She has the money and energy.

Catty, you'd have to know my friend. She's not the kind of person who would do anything like that. She's quite unique. She has spayed/neutered so many of the neighborhood cats. She's spends most of her money on the cats, never for herself. It seems like just when she/we think everyone is fixed, another one shows up. There isn't a TNR group here. We can't even get the Humane Society off the ground. They've been working on that for over 2 years and still all I hear is talk, talk, talk. I tried to help but got fed up with the board of directors. That's why I have taken on so much myself. When I get really desperate there are a couple of no-kill shelters that will occasionally take kittens when they have room.

Lara PM'd me on how to post photos, so tomorrow I'll try and get a couple of pics of the newbie. I'll have to think of a name for her. I'm planning on taking her to the vet on Monday for testing and vaccines.

Can you PM me the town where you live?

That first link I posted, as well as cattss - heck, they seem to have enough organization and punch to come to your town and get them going and show them how it's done!

And remember, just because she's there now does not means she's a permanent resident. Just safe for now.

I know, Karen. It just that most of the crew who are here now weren't suppose to be permanent, either. I'm an awful failure when it comes to finding homes.
