Getting Kicked Out... AND got another kitten... not by choice...PICS **

[kt_luvs_kitties]

I was asking a refundable 25.00 in the beginning, once they provided PROOF that they took the cats to the vet, then I would give the money back. I thought that was fair... BUT noone wanted to pay apparently.

I also still need a vet reference for all the cats to be adopted. I wont give them up without a reference. If they are adopted in state, I would like to bring them myself to the person adopting them, for a home check.

I am trying not to be overbearing and picky, but I just am so confused and upset right now. Besides getting them adopted, I need to start getting my stuff packed and find someone to go! I dont have very long, although I think I have around 25 days. I still get my 30 day notice he is required to give me.

KATIE - I pm'd you.

Take every email address there, and copy and paste your wonderful email just as it is into the message part of the email.

Do you know how to use BCC? If you do, then use that to send to all the stations at once.

INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

This MIGHT mean you will have offers for more homes than you thought. Charge a small amount, I agree with Medusa and Moosmom. At least it will help you screen potential owners. People can go to the shelter if you get too many calls. Think also about getting your cats down to a manageable number.

You can also do a pitch for Spay and Neuter!

Go check the PM and get typin', girl!

Katie, I'm so very sorry you are going through this and all because you just can't turn your back on a cat in need. I can't help in any practical way since I have a house full of fosters (3 adults and 14 kittens) as well as my own.

Where did you post on Best Friends? I didn't see anything that looked like it came from you on the animals in need forums. Have you gone to your state's community on the Best Friends site? You can contact the community manager and they can post a story for you. That will be your best bet at this point. Best Friends is rather overwhelmed at present because they've taken on two large sanctuaries that had failed and are having a hard time getting the hundreds of cats in them adopted. There are people on the B.F. network who should be able to help you, people who have contacts and may be able to persuade sanctuaries to shoe-horn in one more cat.

This could happen to anyone of us anytime! It just isn't fair!!! You live your life, not hurting anybody and trying to help the underprivilaged kitties and someone comes along and turns your world upside down! This sucks!! How about trying to find someone to foster yours until you can make better living arrangements? If only each rescue orginazation could take just ONE of the fosters! It is society that allows these babies to breed and causes this problem to start with..... This just BURNS me up! I wish there was something I could do to help!

Katie - I joined best Friends and posted most of your email in the Animals in Need section, along with a pic of three fosters you showed us a while back.

I hope you don't mind...I know you are busy and this whole situation is overwhelming!

Any repsonse from the TV folks?

hugs and prayers!
