Why are you upset that other people can't take the cat in when you
yourself won't take the cat in? Perhaps the same thing that's
preventing you from taking the cat in also prevents them from taking
the cat in.

Once again there is another cat that may be lost or abandoned in the
apartment complex where I live. The complex management said a resident
reported about the cat recently and one of the complex office people said
this cat has been going back to her old apartment. The cat is reported to be
a long-haired black male and declawed. The management told me about this
today and asked if I wanted to take him in (I am only allowed 2 cats in this
place but apparently they approved my having a third if I took him. I am a
little tapped out moneywise to take another cat to the vet having two
already and being self-employed. I have contacted one of the no-kills in
Glendale, AZ to see if they can take this cat in. I also gave a list of a
few other no-kills here in the Phoenix area to the management. I also
contacted one of my friends who also lives in the complex, to see if he can
take in this cat. He has one already and seems to be somewhat open to the
possibility of having another. The cat is friendly but apparently one of
the other residents has been feeding the cat hot dogs which is not good as a
regular feast for cats.

It upsets me that there are plenty of people out there who fail to take the
responsibility for caring for a cat, then declaw it and to further hurt this
animal, abandon them. I can only right now invision this cat being scared
and cold because it has been a bit rainy here the past couple of days. It
also upsets me that someone who said they felt sad for this cat being
outside during the rain would not take him in. I have not yet seen this cat
(I went looking in the area of the complex that I was told he was last seen
in) but hopefully he will get shelter soon and a loving family. I doubt a
declawed cat is going to survive too long outside. If anyone has advice here
feel free to post it. I have gotten some experience in cat rescue after
rescuing at least two here in the complex already. One of them, Jade I
adopted last year. The other Ali, found a good and loving home. He too was
found under similar circumstances as this male black cat.

My first cat Oreo was an abandoned declawed cat. She now has a companion, Fred, a 20
month old male kitten and both live happily with me.

apartment complex where I live.


You say the cat may be lost. Has any effort been made to contact the owners?
Does the office have a forwarding address, or could one be obtained from the
utility company? Where is the cat *now*? He should be taken in by *someone*
immediately, even if it's only on a temporary basis. . You paint a picture of a
lost, cold, frightened declawed cat living on hot dogs, but so far the only
information you've offered is that you've called a no-kill shelter. What did
the no-kill shelter say? Are they going to take him?

I can't take the cat in because it is hard to take in another not knowing
the history (health, etc). Cost is another as I am a bit tapped out right
now but I help out when I can. I have yet to see this cat myself. I have
already contacted a no-kill shelter that I have helped out when I can. I
also left a list of a few other no-kill shelters with the complex
management. At least I am doing something.
