Looking for some advice

Check this link, Roger: http://www.operationroger.rescuegroups.org/info/

Here's what they need: http://www.operationroger.rescuegrou...ay?PageID=4378

They transport animals...see if they will help.

How far are you from the US border itself? You might have a much shorter drive than you think.

Other options: http://www.boomerangpetcarrier.com/

Also - ask your vet! Or your local Humane/SPCA. They may be able to help you!

I hope Coda is snuggled in your arms soon!

Well, I'm in Saskatoon, not certain, but think it's 8-10 hours to the US border. I'll look into both links you sent me and I appreciate it. Just wish I had family that would be coming up for a visit, that way he could just hitch a ride with them. But my mother (who is babysitting him) recently had back surgery, I don't see her flying or going for a long car ride either any time soon. When I came up here I thought getting him here would be much easier than it is proving to be. I thought i would have already been able to go back and get him, but financially that is out of the question for at least 2 yrs, which is WAY too long!!

Hmm, any other students from the US there that you know? Maybe someone knows someone who will be visiting ...

Well, I'm far past being a student...I'm an old woman who found love with a man that lives here. He too is a cat lover (he adopted one from the shelter a few months before i came up) which sealed the deal in my mind. Any man as sweet as this guy that is also a cat lover is a dream come true. His kitty is very spoiled and could use the friendship of my big baby. If I had known though that I would be away from Coda this long, I may not have come when I did. This is a pic of her, I think the two of them would make a great match, they are both spayed and neutered. But they would look great together.

Where is your mother located? My sister lives in Saskatoon and is thinking of coming down for a visit in April (I am in the DC area)....

Coda is absolutely beautiful. He looks so much like my dear departed Tonkinese. I had to move from Texas to California and be away from her for 9 months before I could come back to get her. My mom was keeping her and said that she kept waiting at the door for me. She would sit at the window and watch the cars and when a car the color of mine would pass by she would get excited and then sadly lay back down when they didn't stop. I cried so much when she told me this. I can definitely feel your sadness.
I wanted to wish you the best of luck with getting your darling back. I hope the 2 kitties will be best friends.

I should have read your email closer, I didn't notice that your mother is in Iowa (a long way from DC). Northwest and Air Canada both fly into the Saskatoon airport, so you might be able to fly Coda into town. But I am not sure about on your mother's end of the trip.
