Two Lost Cats

Is one of them the declawed cat you mentioned earlier that was roaming
your
neighborhood? I just don't see how raising money is going to tend to the
immediate need, which is to trap/catch the cats and get them off the
streets.
Unless the calico is neutered, she's going to be having kittens. What
about
the no-kill shelter you speak of? Can they take the cats if someone traps
them?

Yes, why don't you trap them and take them to a no-kill shelter? Better
than wandering around. One of the volunteers at the shelter I am with
frequents the area apartments looking for strays. He talks to the
management to find out if people have abandoned cats, and he traps them and
fosters them if we don't immediately have room in the shelter. People can
really suck sometimes. They think hey, we're moving, just dump the cat. It
will take care of itself.

You are worried about why people just let these cats fend for themselves?
Well, isn't that what you are doing? Most people do not know a whole lot
about cat rescue, and are not going to bring two unknown stray cats into
their house. What if they already have cats? You are sitting there not
really doing anything, and I'm not saying it is your responsibility. But
it's not the other complex residents' responsiblity, either. If everyone is
so concerned about these cats, someone should take the initiative to contact
a rescue oraganization and get some help with trapping and getting these
cats to a safe place.

CP likes to talk about "protecting cats", but rarely ever does it. He's
hypocrisy personified (higher level of hypocrite).

As a self-designated "Cat Protector", isn't it his responsibility?

Yes, make use of other resources and consider other options. Rather than
asking for money, CP could ask people to donate cat food and cat litter so
he can take the cats into his home with little cost to himself. And he
could find a vet who would work out a payment plan and/or throw in some
services for free. None of these things would happen though, neither would
the suggestion of using a cat rescue organization. CP never heeds others'
suggestions. I suspect that CP wants to keep the cats in their current
situation to make it appear that he's taking responsibility for them and
that he "cares" for them. In fact, however, he's doing nothing to help
them. He's more like Cat-Killer-By-Neglect, not Cat Protector.

Apparently there are now two stray cats in my complex that have seemingly
been alone for a while. One is a Calico and the other is a long haired black
cat. The management approached me about helping these two cats but I am
limited on funds but they have allowed me to start a fund raising/donation
drive to help these cats. A collection jar is being posted in the complex
office so I can get these two cats to a vet and hopefully get them checked
out. What bothers me is how people can just let these two cats go to fend
for themselves. One of the complex people is worried because we have kids in
this complex and they were not sure that the kids would harm these felines.
Has anyone else here had neighbors and such contribute to helping cats they
didn't know? As far as these two cats go, I have yet to see them but offered
to chip in the first couple of dollars to help these cats.

You're such a hypocrite. You're doing the same thing your neighbors are!
You're saying you have limited funds, you're obviously not taking them
in, so why are you condemning your neighbors? Pot calling the kettle black.

Really that was my first thought but for some reason I was hesitant to post it.
The mighty Cat Protector tossing two dollars in a jar. What a hyprocrite. CP
will twist this post and make it into a money issue. It's not. It's about
getting off your ass and borrowing a trap, getting the cats off the street and
taking them to the no-kill shelter he talks about all the time. I bet he won't
do it.

Years ago a few neighbors approached me about chipping in to pay a vet to
fix up an infected outside cat. They had it figured how much we should each
chip in and it was three of us. It worked out fine.

What was the cat infected with? FELV, FIV?
