UPDATE #2 Howard B needs your help!

There seems to be some question about whether the aforementioned people really want to take on three cats, but Howard sounded much better and hopes that he'll figure something out tomorrow. Thank Bast. I'm so sorry that all this is happening to Howard, or anyone. I wish I could do more to help than just sending good thoughts and asking the cats to purr for everyone. Please give Howard our love and tell him that he's in our meditations and purrs. Pam S. who always drove the cats all over the country. |

He's in a mess and needs advice, and if anyone is anywhere near Virginia, possibly your help. Things are looking much better now, I think.

Mr. Clark still hasn't been captured; if he isn't by the time Howard needs to leave, a friend of his in the Baltimore area has offered to take Mr. Clark. Howard sounds a lot better this evening than he did this morning. He will call me so that I can let everyone know if Mr. Clark is found. He still is very interested in any pet shipping experiences and recommendations that anyone can make. It sounds like now it will be from Cape Cod to St. Louis, and also possibly from Baltimore if Mr. Clark doesn't make himself available this weekend. As for the several of you who have offered to help Howard financially, he says thank you but he thinks that part is under control. His most urgent need is for advice about getting the cats from point A to point B safely. Thanks for the update. I'm glad there's been some improvement in the situation.

I'm sure you all know that he was moving to St. Louis from Arlington, VA to start a new job. The short story: his car had a spectacular mechanical failure while still in Arlington, and Howard spent a couple of days in the hospital. Mr. Clark freaked out at the movers, ran out the door, and won't come back. Howard needs to fly, rather than drive, and he doesn't have the vet certs and immunization records needed to fly his three cats. His water etc. has already been turned off, as well as internet access, and he really was supposed to move by Monday (two days from now). What Howard is looking for right now: 1a) Someone who could possibly keep his 3 cats at their house for several weeks, giving him time to assemble the necessary paperwork for the flight. He will also be back in VA in a few weeks, so he could possibly drive back at that time. 1b) OR, long shot, someone who is driving from VA to St. Louis and could drive the cats. He has a large dog crate in which all three cats fit comfortably. 2) Any information on pet shipping services. He's looked into Jet A Pet, which handles all the paperwork, and PetAir, which doesn't. He'd like to hear about any experiences, cost, satisfaction, etc. As you may remember, Howard's cash flow is expected to resume once he's in St. Louis working, but for now he's strapped, meaning that he can't just pay someone to board the cats right now (although he expects to be able to once he gets to St. Louis). I have Howard's cell phone number, so if you can help at all, please ask me for the number (the email address I use here does work, or you can use monique --- at --- bounceswoosh --- dot --- org. I've also told him I'll relay any messages here by phone to him. The long story: Howard believes that he can get Mr. Clark back into the house. He had Mr. Clark in his arms once, but then he tried to put him in a too-small carrier, and Mr. Clark freaked and ran off. Next time he plans to simply hold Mr. Clark and possibly hold his scruff to immobilize him when bringing him inside. If anyone has any further ideas on bringing Mr. Clark back, they're welcome, but Howard believes he can handle this part. I didn't quite grasp all the details of the vehicle accident, but I believe Howard is okay now (geez, it didn't even occur to me to ask). He said he tried to get out of the medical facility sooner, but they kept him longer than he wanted. Um ... I'm sure there's more that I should relay, but I can't recall. Please, if you or someone you know could keep his cats for a few weeks, or if you know someone who could help transport the cats, or if you have any other ideas on what to do, please contact Howard (email me for his phone number). He's at his wits' end. Poor Howard! There's not much help I can offer here. I might be a bit crazy and say that, if someone could get the cats here, I don't suppose three more for a few weeks will make *that* much of a difference. So it is an option, if someone else could get them to me, I don't see why I couldn't keep the cats -- just for a few weeks, mind you! (Last time I said that, I ended up with the cats permanently!). So if no one else can help with that, keep me in mind.

Great news! Thanks for keeping us updated. I hope things improve for Howard very soon and that his ex will take good care of the cats until he has arranged to ship them to their new home. Mr Clark, Ding and Rhonda are very much part of the RPCA family and we're all concerned that they should be safe, happy and taking good care of Howard. Tish Please tell Howard we're thinking of him and purring for him and the kitties!!! Christine and Oreo, Midnight, Robin & Tucker |

He's in our purrayers... please keep us updated and let us know if there's anything concrete that can be done to help him out of his predicament (like a paypal contribution towards the feline's airfares)... |
