I got her!

Yes!! I'm so glad you rescued that poor kitten. As Karen said, you
didn't "steal" her. She came to you! Animals aren't *things* to be
stolen - and clearly, this baby had a will of her own. She knew where
the food was to be had!

So far, the guy has said nothing. But I am very afraid of what may
happen if he realizes I have the kitten. He may not care. After all,
if there was no food in the house for the kids, you can bet there was
none for the kitten :-(

True, but I can understand your worry. Some people just get possessive
about their "things" and won't stand for anyone taking what's "theirs",
even when they don't want them. It's a pride thing.

I hope you can find a good place to hide her!

Now I just don't know how to get her into a shelter/rescue
group/foster home. [snip[ ...I figured I could put her info up
on petfinders

I don't know much about petfinders - but maybe you could advertise for
a foster home, ie, looking for someone to temporarily foster this kitten.

You might also try craigslist, if that's in your area.

Sometimes you have to break a lesser law to serve a greater one.

Cat? What cat? Oh that one? You've had her for ages. No idea what they
are talking about.

(But likely a good idea to find her a home somewhere else where she is safe)

Nan, do your daughter and her husband visit you regularly? If so, maybe
they could take the kitten until their next visit, and then bring the
baby to you. (Or if you're the one who travels for visits, then you could
take the kitten home with you next time.)

Just a thought.

They usually only make it down here once a year. They might make it
down around Christmas, but that would be too late for Ginger-lyn's
problem. With Greg's back problems it's hard for them to come this
far.

When it got very hard for me financially, I stopped buying catfood. It
was
just too expensive. Instead, I bought the very cheapest beef mince, added
a
bit of pasta, and peas from my freezer and cooked them up a stew. It was
much more economical.
Kitty scarfed it down, but Boyfriend said it was poisonous. He'd have
eaten
it if he got hungry but fortunately things improved and he didn't have to
eat it more than a few times.

Just so you know, cats need more nutriants than provided in the
beef/pasta/pea combination. by feeding this, the cat can go blind. A few
days wont do her harm, but long term it will.

In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes",
(Ginger-lyn Summer) artfully composed
this message within
on 03 Sep 2004:

I knew I was going to end up with her eventually. Sometimes,
timing is everything.

Yay!!

Now I just don't know how to get her into a shelter/rescue
group/foster home. I am just tapped out in terms of resources
and finances right now. And trying to even find a friend to
take her temporarily (I figured I could put her info up on
petfinders or somethig maybe) has been an exercise in
frustration.

Yup, it's easy to do the good thing, but what to do next is always
the problem. Purrs for you to find someone to take her, and before
anyone even comes looking. Major major purrs for this!
