UPDATE!!! NOT AGAIN I think I found a Home for My Stray*Maybe Not anymore*

[Anikaca77]

Well I put the trap out last night waiting for Baby to go in and she never came around. I'm going to try tonight and see what happens. I really hope she comes around. I'm suppose to take her to Titusville, PA tomorrow afternoon. I hope I can get her.

Well tonight baby came around but would not fall for the trap.

Instead just at 11 p.m. I caught a black cat. Very beautiful eyes very scared...needless to say she/he jumped around a bunch. He's got some battle scares I'm going to contact Nicky (the lady who said she would take in Baby) and see if she would take this kitty in. I have a spca voucher to get the cat fixed if it's not already but I'm just hoping that the lady will take her in...

I have her/he in a cage in the bathroom right now and he/she is growling not hissing any suggestions to keep her/him calm???

Cover the carrier with a towel or blanket, so kitty feels 'hidden' and secure. They don't like open spaces if they are in a strange area.

Are you pretty sure it's a stray? It might have been just scared of the live trap.

If this lady won't take kitty for some reason, do you think she will wait for Baby?

Good luck!

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure this cat was bouncing up the walls like and trying to climb up the shower curtain like a feral cat normally does.

I'm pretty sure she will wait for Baby I'm going to call her first thing in the morning and see if she will take the new cat and Baby if I trap her.

I'm going to take a few pictures the battle scars are pretty scary looking....

Ohok....climbing a shower curtain AND having the battle scars...kind of a wild boy (I am guessing because of the scars from fighting).

I hope he can be healed up at the vet's, and learn that people can be nice...

I remember when Oscar was wild....and over a few months my then-boss fed and talked to him. Finally had him eating on the porch. I would come out on the porch, and Oscar would start to run from the bowl - I would stand still and talk nice to him.

In the next couple of days, he began to enjoy rubs and scritchies above the bridge of his nose, just above and between the eyes.

In no time, he became MY sucky boy!

I wish the same for that little guy, and for Baby too!

Here are the picture since the cat is black it's hard to see it's battle scars...I'm not sure if my vet is open tomorrow but I'm sure going to try to find someone to look at her if this lady say's she won't take her.

The cat is still growling but not hissing.

[Anikaca77]

I can't get the pictures to load for some reason but he has a clean cut under his left eye and what looks to be an abcess on his chin/cheek on the right side like there was a major kitty fight.

I'm going to call this women first thing in the morning to see if she will take this new comer and then go from there.

Thanks

Everything is coming down...when it rains it rains....

I just got this e-mail from Nicky....



I just wanted to write to you and let you know we have a big dilemma. I took 2 of the cats to the vet today and it seems we have 1 with Feline Leukiema. Unfortunately, the others are too young for the vaccine and now I need to have them tested tomorrow at about 2 pm. I am contacting a rescue closer to you, since I know that you want to get Baby taken care of ASAP, and she deserves the absolute best. I'll know tomorrow about my other cats and am hoping and praying they are still neg. 1 of them is way too young for the vaccine but the other 2 might be able to get the vaccine. The previous owner of the cats swore they were tested and I should have insisted on paperwork since they were indoor/outdoor cats.
I am so upset right now I can't even sleep due to the anxiety of tomorrows tests. I have them seperated - in hopes that the less physical contact - the less likely the chance to spread it. I'll let you know what happens with them when I get back from the vet tomorrow. I hate to do this to anyone since I also had 3 more coming in a few days and the big fund raiser at my home in 1 week as well. Here is the email address for the rescue near you, I am very sure they'll take her if any of my other fur babies come back positive. I am so devastated.

[email protected]

They are located in state college so it will make it so much easier for you as well.
If the test comes back that my others are still neg I'll be keeping the neg ones downstairs and the others in my "sick kitty" room. Its just a room with beds and toys and litter pans and such that they can stay in until I can get Tom and Jerry (he needs tested again) treatment, and find out what the vet has to say.

If they come back neg and you don't take her to the other rescue I'll come down myself and get her. That way I can take her straight to the vet and get her tested and vaccinated.

I'm still so sorry.

Sincerely,
Nicky



So I went ahead and e-mailed the current situation to the e-mail address she provided me with and this is what they said:



Wehoo, we're driving the van to FL packed full of stuff we've held for the the
Florida kids!

We plan to be home the latest by July 9th, Not a clue how often or how we can
get on line at Mandy's house where we will be staying.


I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do either take her to the vets or see if Paws can help me out or something....

[Catty1]

Let Nicky know...she probably has another contact at the shelter.

This gives you a little more time to get Baby, also.

I hope for the kitties sake that they test negative. Hers, and yours.

How is our little black friend doing?

HUGS!

What about Castaway Critters in Harrisburg? Have you tried them?

[Anikaca77]

Morning,
I just checked on the black cat and she so scared. She's/he's very pretty but so scared right now. I think we are going to try to see if paws can help this kitty out and then see about trapping Baby later on.

One other thing is she is a very scared...I talk to her/him and the cats shaking...it's so scared...

[Anikaca77]

I haven't tried them yet but if paws won't take this kitty then i will contact them. Thanks

I contacted Nicky and told her that I got the auto response and that she should keep me updated on her situation.

Thanks!
