I'm boiling mad at this persons comment "set her free", and listing on eBay! A blind cat, set free in NY stands near zero chances of surviving for more than 48 hours! Is anyone on PT near enough to this idiot to get this cat from her till better options open up? And slap sense into her too?

And a good slam festival going on eBay Forums.

There is nothing on that ebay page ... I see why you are so mad though. I hope there is somebody here that can take her!

Jan - did you post it into the Yahoo blind/deaf/specialcats group? I hope this woman is capable of understanding why she is being lambasted for her behavior, though if she is dense enough to believe setting a blind cat "free" in the Bronx is better than taking it to a shelter then perhaps not.

I did a home visit on a couple who were considering adopting a one-eyed cat that I'd scooped up on campus, slowly starving to death because he'd been "set free" already one-eyed, had been hit by a car and had a broken jaw. They saw him, knew his history, but when I visited and asked about the litter box area they showed me their back garden with a broken fence. When I turned them down, they were very shocked.

I don't know that we have anyone on PT in that area, but hopefully there is someone with contacts there.

That is just ignorant!

i e-mailed her to ask her if she is really serious about putting this poor blind cat outside. i'm not sure what i can do right now i already have 5 cats in a one-bedroom apartment......


this sucks so bad....she is really stupid...

[catfamily]

I'll be happy to take her but cannot afford the airfare(At all!!).We are broke but have room in our home.Mike will kill me for writing this,but I'll email her.
I know Jan,it makes me very upset too.This must REALLY get you angry.(you devote all your time getting cats in need off the streets.And then there are people like THIS! And a BLIND cat!

OK....I emailed her. That poor cat!

[catlover4ever]

Maybe we could do an intra-state transport. I'm in CT and depending on where in Maine you live, it's only 3.5 hours for me to get to the Maine State Line on I 95.

[sprokett]

does the local rescue centre no about this coz if they do they should rescue it!!!!

[catfamily]

I hope someone there rescues it so it doesn't get out on the streets.
I'll let you know if she replies back

[kimlovescats]

I didn't read the links, as I know it would just infuriate me even more!!!!! Carla, you are such a sweetheart for offering to take this poor kitty into your home.

Hugs,
Kim

I just need to offer.I don't want it in the streets.It kills me to think of it.
We can feed it and give it a home.But we cannot get it here.
Of course I wouldn't tell Mike until last minute.But it's better than being on the street.(BLIND!)
Mike really will be upset because feeding our own is getting super expensive.
I'm sure she won't email me back.She probably wants money.But...you never know.

I'm accually hoping someone else will take it so I don't have to put up with Mike being mad at me for a while.
But I emailed her saying I'd take it if she wants to get it here.

Let's see her response.

I want to add....I know the cat would do fine here and will get tons of love.If anyone here on PT is worried about that.Mike always comes around.

Lizzie, thanks to my hubby I can't access the Yahoo Groups anymore. I don't know his password, and even if I did the darn 'puter thinks its him! I registered for several groups a long time ago, and get the digest forms sent to my inbox. If you can crosspost there (or someone else) please do!
Glad you did the home visit before placing that poor kitty, and tough for them for being so stunned they didn't get him.
Carla, You are something else my dear friend! Don't you have enough yet?
I did email "Blind Cat Rescue" and Alana I'm sure has emailed this person.
I don't think emailing and slamming her descision to dump will do any good though. If you do email, be nice and avoid this moron getting defensive and dumping the cat anyway.
I know..hard to be nice..I want to take a train to the Bronx and strangle this idiot so badly! Oh yeah...and take the cat.

Laura, The second link says that eBay took the thread off. I wish I had copied and pasted it before that happened. Oh well..bottom line is try to get the cat into a safe place even if only for a few days.

Its A Shame That I Am Not Closer As I Know That That Little Blind Cat Would Be In A Big Warm Cat Pile In No Time At All, Getting Kitty Kissies.
I Pray That Somewhere Theres A Sanctuary For Those Poor Cat.

Her email is :[email protected]

This is what I emailed to her:

I have a few cats of my own in Maine.Me and my husband have no children and are retired here.I cannot for the life of me how anyone could set a cat out on the street after being in a home already.
But sending a blind cat out is unthinkable.
I can take her.,..I can give her a loving home.
But we have no money for transport.We are on a fixed income.
Figure that part out...and your blind cat will always be happy with us.

My email address

So I don't know if I'll here from her or not.But it's too late to change anything Jan.I don't think I was slamming her but your right....maybe I shouldn't of said anything to get her to think I'm upset with her.oh well.
Still no word from her.
