Ragdoll(?) Kittens/ Pa *urgent Help Needed*

[QueenScoopalot]

*CROSSPOSTING* this from a digest I'm subscribed to. Not an appropriate place to try placing cats so I thought I'd post here in hopes someone here could help these kittens. I'd hate to think they were dumped at a farm! I have no clue what the original post said, but it sounds urgent. Post below with contact info I hope.

Hello all, this is Galene, the cat rescuer from PA. The family that had
owned the cats I have been writing about went back to their trailer and found
another of the lost ones. So, while I still have four cats, one of the
original ones found a home today. The Calico found a home, which is such good news.


I do however still have to find homes for the remaining ones ASAP. I have
TWO ragdoll cats, the female has the distinctive markings and the male is
solid grey, yet still handsome. Guessing I would say these two siblings are six
months at the most.

I also have a solid grey short hair male, he is between a year to a year and
a half.

The newest one is a pretty little white with grey female, very loveable.

They are all extremely affectionate and have beautiful purr-motors. I just
need to get them into homes ASAP. I cannot keep them in my basement any
longer, so unfortunately after this Tuesday or Wednesday, they may have to go to
a farm. This is not the ideal situation as we all know, but I am running out
of time, so I am begging all of you for help. I have plenty of food for
them, but I just can't keep them because of my landlord situation and I already
have a houseful of critters of my own. They all need shots and
spayed/neutered.

Please contact me ASAP to help these babies find homes. I have contacted
all of the friends, my kids have talked to their friends and ad infinitum, but
we are running out of time. So, once more, please contact me.
I have reached out to numerous organizations and I am not getting any
further. I have a message going to the Ragdoll Rescue organization as I type.

[critter crazy]

I just sent an E-mail, I am hoping I can help.

[Reachoutrescue]

I am sending them a message right now. I know I am a bit aways, but maybe there is something I can do.

[jenluckenbach]

I emailed too.

If anyone hears anything, please share the info here.

It sounds like the person posting is now on the west coast since the posting gave Pacific Standard Time, but comes originally from PA. All I can do is contact her and ask if she's been in touch with the Ragdoll rescue in Oregon.

The woman Galene is probably "Greynolds4104" and I'm guessing it may be @aol.com? Probably wouldn't hurt to email both her and [email protected] (or try). I think Galene emailed "Jalust" regarding the situation, and one is on the West Coast, and Galene is in PA. Too bad there's not more info to go by, and allow for some time to help. *sigh* Thanks PTers! Any ideas to avoid kittens being farmed out is great.

[Reachoutrescue]

Good idea...I am going to email her right now.

[critter crazy]

I emailed the other person as well! Thanks for the heads up!

[QueenScoopalot]

Thanks for your help! Let me know if anyone hears back, or finds out anymore info on this. If there was a way to transport them up here, I'm sure eventually homes could be found, but I'm at maximum capacity here, and would need alternative fostering for them. PA. isn't that far from MA. Shelters up here are thin on cats, and kittens get snagged up fast.

It's a great pity that routine transport can't be set up between your area and Georgia, their shelters are constantly overflowing with kittens. I'm trying not to read CriticalPetsRescue any more because it's so heartbreaking. I can't help them and it's depressing to know that the very young faces you see one day are in a landfill the next.

I am so glad the kits will be in good hands. Thank you for acting so quickly. Sorry I wasn't much help.

hey no need to be sorry, we all do what we can. If I take tem all, this would be my first time fostering kitties, i have a feeling i would be a failure!

Is that a bad thing? *grin* All too many here have done the Fostering 101 course, and failed lol! If you do end up taking them, I hope Galene has access to carriers for the drive.

if not, i can get some, i have many family members with carriers. As long as I know, before i even go. Just gonna have to wait and see what she says. still waiting on an e-mail from her.

OMG, you are incredible! I wish to high heavens I could at least meet you half way, but to be completely honest, I don't have the finances to do it. You sound so much like me in the stay at home mom aspect that it is amazing. I have three sons in High School and I thoroughly enjoy spending time in my home while they are in school, but money wise it stinks. I will contact you a little later to make final arrangements. BTW, we are right off of Route 15 if that is the way you would drive down here. You could take the Perryville exit or the Hepburnville exit if you are familiar with the highway.

I hate to ask you this, but is there anyway that you could financially take the little boy Ragdoll? He is so sweet and needs the love so desperately, not too mention the medical care. If you prefer the little girl I know you will be thrilled with her. She knows that she is supposed to be a "show" cat. She walks around with quite the little attitude, but is a ball of fun.

The best part of this is that they love families and you have a son for either of them to play with. I can't tell you how wonderful you really are to be so willing to help, but I know that GOD is smiling down on you for this.

Thanks... Galene
PS, this picture isn't the best, but you can see both of them a little. I will try to take a few more pix this afternoon.

I asked her, how long she would be able to hold onto the cats, as I know you all are not wanting them to become barn cats, I have also told her that I would be definitely taking the two in the picture shown, and if necessary I would take all four. I will let you all know what happens.
