Kitten 6-8 Weeks, Kids Abuse it. HEARD FROM HER TODAY THURSDAY!

[phesina]

If and when "we" know her address, and if this is a hoax, I'd be tempted to drive there and throw eggs all over her front window. But then I'D get arrested!

If and when that happens I'd be very strongly tempted to drive straight to Jackson with a whole carload of eggs! ..a carton for everyone who is being strung along on this.

"Just an early Halloween prank, Officer!.."

Meanwhile, what is most important is to find out that the kitten is safe and collect it from this person.

I bet the kitten is in the house with food and water - they wouldn't have taken it with them, I don't think.

Prayers that ALL kittens in trouble get rescued.

Here's hoping and praying...

Exactly!

I hope we hear from her tonight, my husband work's late hours so I told him to keep checking my account while he's home in case she is e-mailing really really late and maybe I could e-mail her back and get 2 responses or something.

They might be able to track down the e-mail, but we would be at the same point of not being able to get further identification of the sender from the ISP without a court order.

True, but my thought was this:
If she really did get email from the humane society, then she just might be telling the truth about the whole thing.
If in fact there was no email sent to her by the humane society, then she lied about it, and possibly lied about all the rest too.

It's just strange that it's been dragging on for 10 days now, when she so urgently asked for help in the first place.

I just hate to think that good people are being conned!!! Frustrating to say the least.

[Anikaca77]

I know I still have my doubts but I'm hoping that she's just very busy and just doesn't have time to e-mail and well cares about the situation but is finding it hard to deal with it maybe.

I'm not sure really.

We'll see soon enough hopefully. I do hope we can get this figured out.

Catty,

Since we did hear from her today, I think we should just wait maybe another day or two to see if she talks with the neighbors and gets the kitten before we try to get a court order or scare this women off.

I'm not sure if this is a hoax or not but I have a feeling it is not and that she's just a person who cares but just doesn't have the time to e-mail and call or whatever. I know she has a kid so maybe she has a few and she's just really really busy.

I'm of course very worried about this black kitten but I just think getting a court order might be the wrong thing since she did contact us today.

I'd say if we don't hear from her in 2 days or so then maybe do it or see what Petfinder people say.

Getting a court order could possibly end up being the last option if she wont talk.

[Catty1]

HOpefully the police/AC can get the information and speak with her DIRECTLY. (If it IS a her).

I can imagine if it's a kid...there will be a really angry parent or two!

[Anikaca77]

I just checked my e-mail address and I got this e-mail. It's 2 a.m. here.


Her name is Charity.

I have to go over there tomorrow, I can't give
out my neighbors address, so, I will talk to
my neighbors tomorrow, if, their not home and
I see the kitten, I will take her, contact Pam
and have her meet me somewhere to get her.
Oh, my name is Charity by the way.

Let's wait on the court order though until we hear from her tomorrow ok.

Thanks,
Melissa

[pomtzu]

Well that's good news - I hope!! Fingers and toes crossed that this might finally get the ball rolling and get kitty in safe hands!
In a case like this - I'm really happy to be admitting that I was wrong!

[GILL]

Here's keeping all paws and fingers crossed.

[phesina]

I got a similar e-mail from her this morning, too:

--->
I will go over there tomorrow, if, my
neighbors aren't home and I see the kitten,
I will take her and contact you, to meet me
somewhere to pick her up.

I have been checking the cell phone. Nothing yet, but maybe something in the next day or two?!

[Medusa]

How frustrating! I guess I'm just too upset right now but I have zero tolerance for this nonsense. Urgent pleas for help call for urgent action and she's done nothing to help either of you to help this little kitten. In fact, it appears that she's even thwarting things. I do hope that all this gets settled and soon for the kitten's sake and for yours, too, Melissa and Pat.

[pomtzu]

I guess no news isn't good news??!! What's with this "person" anyway??? I'd sure like to meet her face to face - this whole thing is ludicrous!

[phesina]

No e-mails, no cell-phone messages yet.

And no response yet from Petadmin or Webmaster @ Petfinder.. or from the woman at the Humane Society who theoretically might be able to do something.

Yeah, this Charity or whatever was the one urgently looking for help on Oct. 1 on Petfinder.. and here we've been BEGGING her to let us know how we can get the kitten from her and take her to safety.. and there's just one stonewall after another from her.

[Anikaca77]

No response today either.

I'm hoping she'll reply today or tonight like last week.

Thanks,
Melissa

Even if she does reply, either the situation was NOT urgent, as she indicated, or she just doesn't care enough to take action. Everyone is busy so that excuse just does not fly. Her lack of communication is inexcusable unless she's had something catastrophic happen in her own family to cause this delay, which is doubtful. She's the type that, if you do rescue this kitten, she'll tell everyone how she rescued it. In the end though, the important thing is the safety of the kitten, if it even exists, but to keep you two running around in circles is cruel. It may sound unfeeling on my part but when I was actively involved in rescue, I'd make a couple of good attempts to contact people like this and, if I had no success, I moved on because there were too many others who were sincere in their efforts to help cats in distress. If this turns out to not be a hoax and you do manage to rescue this kitten, she'd get an earful that she'd never forget if I was involved. She needs a good slap!
