Contact Brooke and let her know your availability...

[rinkrat]

Thanks, Equus217! It took me a while to figure that out since I'm not familiar with the area! I had to stare at a map for a while! Anyone can email me or post or send me a message if they can do that plan
I just found out that I HAVE to get the shelter cats out by saturday or I lose my hold on them and they have a high chance of euthanization if this happens I still have a bunch of legs to fill, I'm so worrried

I'm just hoping and praying all this comes together - I've sent this thread to my daughter Diane and she's just emailed back to say she's sent it to simply everyone they know - fingers crossed.

That's really out of the way to go to Columbia, but if you can meet me at the intersection of I-26 and I-85 and go to Charlotte from there, it would be great. I'm actually going to leave Greenville, drive west to Anderson, then back east, past Greenville, to go to Spartanburg, so I'm going out of the way too.

Wanted to make sure, too, that you realize that this is for Saturday, 10/16, not tomorrow.

Hope you can help.

If per chance, Lucky and Louie can't get to GA to make this transport, are all still going to keep their commitment to rest of cats on this leg? See original post! I am still trying to get them to GA but found out they did not get their vaccines in time to go tomorrow. That doesn't mean they won't make it, we shall see... Anyone here from Mississippi area? (kidding but not really!)

*bump* Come on Pters put on your thinking caps!

[rinkrat]

Things are not looking good for transport. I can't fill it and the cats need to be out of the shelter by this weekend, or I lose my hold on them, which means they are back in danger. I am trying to find a ride for them to the Atlanta airport. I've worked too hard for them to be back in grave danger now. It's expensive, and I don't have much money, but I just wouldn't be able to go to bed with all of those faces from their pictures in my head.

I'll be praying for sure !

[leslie]

Can we at least shorten the flight by combining the driving volunteers here with a flight? I could pick them up at an airport farther away from Boston if it would cost you less!!! Do you have pics you can post here and tell us how you learned about them and why you chose them of all the kitties across the country in need of homes? (they must have a special-ness about them that tugged on your heart string!!). When you have time of course.. This bites!

[leslie]

Does anyone know how to cross post and do we need permission from Karen or Paul first? I think Pet Rescue may be a good place to post this! Anyone?

[Logan]

Leslie, I think very few people go to Pet Rescue. And things move so quickly in General, but that might be the best place to crosspost it. Perhaps if you drop a PM to Karen, she will do that, or just start a new thread, pointing back to this one.

That would be great if the flight could be shortened! I just can't let them down now. I haven't met them, but I've gotten attatched. I'll try my best to tell the story of how I found them. I go on petfinder all of the time, and get depressed of course seeing all of the animals who are going to be euthanized. I found this one orange kitten from Spalding County, GA who had no one and was going to be put to sleep. I had to do something so I adopted him. I found him a paid kennel and after lots of emailing from transport groups, I brought him home. He turned out to be the cutest little thing. Well, I had just found out about craigslist.com not too long before that, and had seen tons of people looking for kittens. I felt so bad that since I had one, I couldn't help anyone else. I put out an ad to see if any of the people looking for kittens would be a good home. I found a wonderful mom to two females (spayed of course) and she hit it off with Thumper right away. He's so happy with her and his new playmates. Even though I still miss him very much, it freed me up to take on this mission. I was following a plea on petfinder to save some cats (in Georgia again), but it didn't work out. Someone saw what I was doing, and invited me to join the yahoo group "kittycityrescue" which I did. Through there, I read a post from a women who runs a rescue and works with the shelter the cats are at now. She was looking for help to move some cats out because the shelter was and still is way too overcrowded. I went to their website, and saw October, the most beautiful girl with ORANGE eyes! I tried to find rescuers for her on petfinder, but no one offered. Since I had brought up the orange kitten, I thought that just maybe I could do the same with October, only plan my own transport. While I was at it, I had to save a few more lives, too! These kitties most caught my attention on their site: [url]http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kizah2000/album?.dir=/19f9&.src=ph The link should work. Sometimes I think I do something wrong and it doesn't. Minnie didn't have much time left at all, and she is so pretty. Melody is such a cutie. Spicy and Saucy looked so adorable. Phyllis looks like a cow! Willow (not pictured) looks like Melody and Allene (not pictured) loves dogs, and is most likely going to a family who has dogs and needed such a cat! MOAS is wonderful, they spayed all these cats, and vaccinated them. Their website link is in my first post on this thread. So, it was October who drew me to them. I didn't mean to end up with 8, but I felt so bad leaving so many still behind. I have potential homes lined up for a few. Of course the kittens go quick, but I had to give a few cats older than 8 weeks old a chance at life, too. I can't have 8 cats for very long though, I think I'd get overwhelmed, and then I'd be called a cat lady!
