    Thanks! I do appreciate your help. I just wish I could find her a forever home. I know I've taken in cats before and I was broke too but I would always take them to my vet and she would allow me to make payments so we'll see. If I do trap her and take her to these people and their other cat's are not in good condition I won't leave her with them but then it's back outside for this girl cat because I can't afford another one and I don't have the space either.

    No judgments, Melissa, truly. I know how tough it is. I would've been in the same predicament w/LBK if I hadn't lucked out and found her a home. The weather is cold and icy now and even though I have a shelter set up w/a heating pad, etc., she couldn't have stayed in there 24/7. We'll pump up the volume on the prayers. Keep the faythe.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I found a foster home for this possible pregnant cat and the only bad thing is that I have to drive her out to western pa which I live in central, pa. Right now we are so tight with money as some of you might have read in the general section my husband hasn't been working the past 2 months and we have vet bills that are well over $1,200 now since having Sebastian at the vets on Wed. and then again on Thursday.

    I know this time of the year and well just the time in general is bad for everyone but if anyone can help us out with transport, I'd appreciate it. I will drive to Sharon, PA (if I can put together gas money, approx. $100) to give her to a very nice lady who will foster her until she has babies and if she isn't pregnant then she will foster her and socialize her until she is ready to find a forever home.

    I have a paypal account if anyone would like would like to donate. My e-mail address is [email protected]

    Thank you,
    Melissa

    Hi Melissa, I hope things improve for you both soon and that your own kitties are okay.

    I have sent a little donation and hope maybe some others will do likewise. Good Luck!

    Thank you for your donations.

    I tried to get this girl tonight but she just wouldn't get in the trap. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning around 4 a.m.

    I saw her several times though and she doesn't look pregnant yet but I'm sure if she continues to stay out there she will become.

    Thank you again for the donations.

    Yesterday was a very long long day.

    I got up at 4 a.m. and was outside the apartment complex by 4:10 a.m. and set up by 4:20 a.m.

    I waited and waited. Around 5:15 a.m. I saw the big orange fluffy cat that didn't bother going in the trap either.

    I waited some more and finally saw her. I was so hoping she would go in the trap but instead she walked around it and then ran off across the parking lot to another area and I couldn't find her.

    I waited some more, I even went over to the trap and the food was frozen so I removed it and put some dry cat food down and went back to the car and waited.

    She came around again but then she left. Probably around 9:45 a.m. I gave up and came home for a bit and go showered and warmed up and went back out around 11 a.m. and saw her. She was back and I really wanted to get her and I could tell she was so hungry.

    She got scared when I brought the trap back and wouldn't come out. I waited till around 1 p.m. and then I left and kept going back to check on the trap till 5 p.m. and nothing.

    I can't seem to get her or the orange one.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I tried sardins, tuna fish, dry cat food, can cat food, I covered the trap, I even put a blanket inside the trap so she wouldn't see the bottom of the cage but nothing.

    I'm very frustrated and I just want her to get in the trap.

    After spending all weekend out there waiting for her to come around and get in the trap I was very upset last night, I just feel like a failure. I tried so hard to get her and couldn't.

    I just realized that I didn't post any pics of her. Well here she is. Can anyone take her in and give her a warm place to stay?
