Ok I agree with you all that I do need to put myself first I agree. I haven't been doing that but I will, I promise just after I'm doing helping him out.

Sorry. Please don't be upset with me anyone. I'm a fixer as people have been calling, I like to think pleaser sounds nicer but I feel for this guy even though I haven't met him. Plus this isn't going to cost anything really, I did have an offer of gas $$ so that's good.

Anyway, I've contacted a bunch of rescues to see if anyone has a barn that they could keep him in once he's vet checked so we'll see what happens there.

I'm going to be taking this cat on Monday to a local rescue and I'm crossing my fingers that they will take him in. I can't take him and won't. I will however transport him to the rescue in hopes that they will take him but if they say they can't do it then I'll be forced to take him back to the barn until a vet appt. can be made and then I'll take him to a vet appt.

He sounds like a real sweetie and just wants a home. I hope I can find him one if not he'll go to the vets and then after that just wait till I find him a home I suppose.

I'm also working on finding another cat a home (she's a longer hair tiger, beautiful, petite, and just so cute!) so if anyone is interested I'll help with bringing her to you.

Ok well that's the latest update for now.

Well as for this one, I think I might of found a rescue to take her in I'm hoping, I'm still waiting to hear from them yet but hopefully I will. She is currently staying in my sister's bedroom and she is just the sweetest kitty.

I've attached a couple pictures of her that I took of her last night and this morning.

I'll keep everyone posted if I do get this rescue to take her or not.

Take care,
Melissa

Michelle,

She is beautiful!! I only WISH I could take her in. But at 5 cats, I'm at my limit.

Oh Melissa she is stunning , i am sure she will find a home pronto, i sure hope so, Ruby has such a special meaning for me, i once helped raise funds for a little girl, a friend of my daughters,her name was Ruby,sadly she died of cystic fibrosis,but i love the name and it always has a special place in my heart.

I just got this e-mail from Carolyn.


Hi Melissa,

Ruby is a very unhappy camper. She is not feeling grateful for being rescued! She is hissing and swatting at anything that comes near. Not happy at ALL.

She's stressing over the other cats. She holes up in the carrier she came in. Nikki thinks she will be alright after a couple of days. If you have cats she will probably do the same thing. She's really stressed though, which means she is probably going to get sick. If anyone can work with her, it's Nikki. She also takes all of the hard "cases". She has lots of experience. I'll let you know how it goes.

Patience. Gradual introduction is the key. Put the cat in a room with litterbox, food, water and scratching post. Go in and get down on her lever and quietly whisper to her. Take a towel and rub down your resident kitties. Let the new cat smell it, so she gets used to her scent. Do the same things with the new kitty. Rub her down with a towel and let the new kitties sniff it to get them use to the scent.

Get down on her level and toss treats her way, gently talking to her. It's gonna take time and patience. But in the end, it'll work out. Just give it time.

Yesterday I took her to a cat rescue. They are going to get her vet checked and fix her. She was such a good girl in the car. I hated giving her up but she will be better off I'm sure of it. She is just so sweet and loving. But it's what's best for her and that's what counts.

=============================================

Now as for the male cat, he is coming to my work this afternoon and I'm going to take him to a cat rescue place later on after work and I'm hoping they will take him in. If they don't I did find a back up place so we'll see what happens. I'll post pictures once I see him.
