New Here & Cats that need homes

[moosmom]

Petlover,

You did right by taking her and her babies in. No one here, and I do mean NO ONE should bash you for helping a cat and her babies in need.

They SHOULD be angry at the &*%$#@! owner of this cat who allowed it out without getting her fixed.

I will try and see if I can get some information to help you out. I have contacts that might allow you to "courtesy" post on Petfinder.com

Everyone here has forgotten the most important phrase...

THANK YOU!!!!

for helping her and her babies out.

I sent an email to my friend who heads up MCARN (Maine Coon Alliance Rescue Network) to see if she'd be willing to post them on Petfinder under MCARN and she agreed.

Give me as much information about them as you can. Up to date on shots?? Fixed? Etc.

What I need to know is how friendly are they? Are they feral (wild)? Will they allow you to touch them? If you can get a picture of them, that would be great too. This way anyone who is interested can see them. Also, once it is posted, they will need either YOUR phone number or email so anyone interested can contact you.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help and for not bashing me. Its sad someone who really cares post asking how to help an animal and they get sent nasty messages and people have to be negative in their post.
I can understand if I had allowed this cat to roam and get pregnant, then I would understand. But I am a responsible pet owner who Keeps their pets on a leash or in a fence. I also keep them current on shots and etc. After all I adore animals.
I am sending you information by pm, but wanted to say thank you once again.

Jean,

I'm doing what I can. I sent along your description of the cats to my friend. I'll see what she can do. Thanks for caring for them.

Sorry, didn't mean to come off as if I were bashing.

Was just answering your query about maturity age in cats. Suggestion about neutering the boys as well was because from your post it sounded as if you weren't planning to neuter the boys. No offence meant.

That and if you end up stuck with them (and at the moment I'm still stuck with 5 cats I can't find homes for - even using Petfinder) they will integrate into your home better if they're fixed.

I think helping them is a great thing to do.
