There is still a big gap before their overnight, and another leg in between, so even if they started, they would be stuck. Otherwise I would be begging the shelter. They know I couldn't fill the transport, and also that I am looking for a ride to the airport, but no one has offered any help. Maybe I do need to directly ask, some people are wierd. They should read the email tomorrow asking for a paid trip to the airport even, and if transport can fill, I'll see if they come up with anyone if they can just take them the other way instead. They have invested money in these kitties, too. Spayed them and vaccinated them. They'll have to pay more then to euthanize them so I'm sure they want them out. Not to mention, I am paying a fee per cat. They are very full with dogs and cats and I'm sure they are working hard, but for me transport is necessary! Hopefully all that was missing was for me to ask directly. 8 cats should make some kind of dent in their population, even if only for a few days.
