Howard B needs your help!
I got an email from an associate of Howard Berkowitz asking me to call
Howard. He's in a mess and needs advice, and if anyone is anywhere near Virginia, possibly your help. 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. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I hope Howard gets a break soon and that Mr. Clark settles down and is able to be transported to his new home. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |
