Kittens/Cats in need of Help in Bellefonte, PA

[Anikaca77]

I have attached the pictures I took today, I won't send threw the one of the kitten due to the graphic that no one should have to see.

The one picture you will see a tiny little orange tiger cat. It's hard to tell sorry.

Cathy,

I will check it out. Thanks again! It does seem like it's different, especially since our SPCA here in State College doesn't even have a form you can fill out online, the only way you can file an abuse/neglect is by calling them and most chances are they never go out to investigate even thought it's there job to.

Thanks again,

Melissa

Okay, you do have your hands full at the moment.

Just that the abuse/neglect form made me wonder if this was a different group.

Great thanks, I've been checking these links out, found maybe a few that might help spay/neuter these cats for free. We'll see. Thanks!

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know so far I'm looking for some foster/permanient homes for these cats.

I'm not going to stop yet, I thought about just giving up last night and realized I can't do that.

Please let me know if you would like to help out.

Thanks,

Melissa

I just wanted to let you all know that I got one person who said they would foster a cat and so her and I went to this house yesterday and we were able to get two kittens, one I had to take back to my place because it had maggots coming out of it's butt. It died shortly last night. I'm not sure how much more I'm going to be involved. My heart is breaking.

Melissa

Well I decided not to give up just yet. I called the police but he was too chicken to knock on her door because of the smell.

I just want her behind bars!

If you give up, who will help these babies? See if you can get help on the spay/neuter and go that route and the ones you can, find homes for. Someone has to help them and I know how heartbreaking it can get... who is it that says you can't save the world but it means the world to the ones you save?

[Anikaca77]

I know I thought about that as well. It just gets so hard when you I lost two in just one weekned. I did get an organization to help out with the spay/neuter costs but it just gets very emotional.

Hi,

I just wanted to you guys know that I found a home for 2 kitties!

This women saw my ad that I posted online and at first she said she take one and then she decided to take two!!

I'm so happy. I just have to go catch two now. Oh well it will be fun knowing they are going to a good home.

This families pet of 14 years just died last week so they were looking for another cat and she said she has always had a cat that was rescued.

So two more down and more to go.

Thanks,

Melissa

Melissa - I hope you know how everyone on PT admires your work, especially that you are going it alone, keeping going despite all the horrible conditions you are seeing, focusing on the fact that those cats most desperately need your help. I keep wishing I wasn't on the west coast so I could help somehow, but I'm overloaded myself anyway. Perhaps when other people in the neighborhood see that you are taking the lead, they may offer a little help.

That's great news about the adoptions and you must feel over the moon that you are taking two more kittens away from the misery in which they live at present. Give yourself a huge pat on the back.

Liz,

It's very hard to go at it alone, especially since this girl told me she would foster the cats and get them homes and yet she called me yesterday to tell me she took in 7 kittens and can't foster these cats for me. I was very upset with her since she told me and acted on Sunday like she really cared about how these animals were living. Maybe it was too much for her to see sick kitties or to know that they were going die but only some and some will live a long life I hope. I know these cats need my help, although threw this it has caused some problems between my boyfriend and I because I've been very emotional lately and I brought a kitten to die at home where we couldn't do anything nor afford to take it to a vet to have it put to sleep since it cost $200. But that's over with now. He knows I'm doing what I have to for these cats but it is taking time away from my cats at home and him. It's hard to sort time out especially when it seems like a full time job. I started hanging flyers up at some vet officies hoping someone will see it and call me and want to help. So I'm sorta playing the waiting game for now, until I can come up with something better to do.

I am sure you will get responses from the flyers in the vet offices - what a great idea.

Another idea - is there a vet school anywhere near you?

Even just faxing a flyer and note to their office or even Animal Sciences at a nearby college might generate some help.

Hi all,

Well I'm not sure if I told you guys that I found someone who would take two of the kittens and so last night I went out to the house in hopes to get the two. No luck last night but I'm going to out and try again tonight after work. They wore me out last night. I think they knew that I was trying to catch them.

Melissa

[Lizzie]

Ah! If only they could know how much better their lives would be, I'm sure they would be running towards you. Good luck in catching them tonight.

[Anikaca77]

Well I went home for lunch and I had a message on my answering machine from the women who owns the house with the cats in her yard saying she her a cat crying so she went outside and she saw one lying on her yard. She said she picked it up and wrapped it in a blanket and put it on her front porch.

What she didn't realize is that it is hot outside and that you can't wrap up a cat in this heat and second you don't put a kitten on your front porch where is smells like shit and there is shit everywhere. I wanted to go right out there at lunch time but I couldn't because I had to go back to work, I already took off earlier this week to try to catch them and I left early monday because I was so depressed about this situation.

I don't know what I'm going to find when I get over to her house, hopefully the cat was just hungrey and I'll be able to feed it or hopefully if it was sick enough it died and I won't have to have it put down.
