I have found Greenville to be so inadequate when it comes to rescue and support. This is really the largest city in the upstate of SC. There is a good Golden Retriever rescue group, not far from here, but other than that, I have even found that the Citizens for Concerned Animals here is not very responsive. I pulled up that Yahoo Yellow page listing and as you probably noticed, there are three listings at the same address. It's the Humane Society "shelter", which my vet told me last time I found a stray (dog), to avoid like the plague! Since I've just gone through this whole situation, not four months ago, with Dexter, the dog, I dread it! Probably will just do it on my own. I found an excellent home for Dexter, so maybe I'll be lucky with this cat. Hopefully, it can be my home!
I don't even mind the bills and wouldn't mind keeping this cat...if Mimi can handle it. Butter (as we call him) slept in my office all night last night and didn't cry until 6:30 this morning. He did not use the litter box, but doesn't seem to have messed up anywhere else. If I can get him loaded into the carrier, he will see the vet this afternoon. Honey and Lilly met him face to face this morning. I gated off the door to my office so they couldn't come in, but he could get out if he wanted to. I just wanted him to have a secure place to return to if he wanted. He went right out into the house and I stayed with them, but they did not try and hurt him. Obviously, he was a little intimidated by two big Golden Retrievers, but it really went well for the first time. We'll see what happens.
