We are sending purrs and gentle headbutts to the orange-stripey cat (14
lbs doesn't sound like a kitten) and litterbox offerings to the man responsible for returning the poor little guy. Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus Catnipped wrote: Who here lives in the LA area? Here's the story... In "the other" cat group, rpch, there's a mean old guy (an @$$hole) who adopted a precious little orange-stripey kitten. The kitten (the guy named him Conan) developed an upper respiratory tract infection and the guy gave him just 10 days to get well or back he would go to the high-kill shelter he was "purchased" from. Well, yesterday was the 10th day and the poor little kitty got sent back to the shelter for a "replacement" kitten (who, if he knows what's good for him, will never get sick!). Conan's story has broken the hearts of some of the nice people there and they're trying to put together a rescue. They contacted the shelter and the shelter staff said the kitten was recovering nicely and would be put back on the adoption list this weekend. What's worrying is that he won't be adopted right away and might be euthanized before anyone in the group can arrange his adoption and transportation ("Mary" has offered to pay for his adoption and travel expenses, (and others have offered to contribute to a PayPal account for him), and she would like to take him if she can arrange it). What's needed is just to know if there is someone close to the shelter who could get him if need be in a hurry until any arrangements can be made for his forever home. Hugs, CatNipped |

Phillip--the wiz guy medically--returned the cat? Is this the one that was
the jumper? How do you transport a cat?

Um, I'm sorry, but Orange County is NOT "around LA". Depending on the
location of the shelter - and Orange County covers a lot of territory, it is probably 100 miles or more from my home. Surely there must be someone closer who could take him temporarily. -- Joy This "telephone" has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.

I really don't understand why someone would take a cat with the expectation that they are never going to get sick or need to have money spent on them (he said he didn't want to pay the vet the $300 she asked for testing and treatment!). It's the Orange County Animal Care Center (714) 935-6943 The ID # for him is: P0710740 Hugs, CatNipped Purrs the poor little thing finds his foreverhome with some who cares, and understands cats, like people, will get sick sometimes and need medical care. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. |

I could make it to Orange County to pick up kitty, but I wouldn't be able to keep kitty for any length of time - the 6 I'v ecurrently got have worked out a mostly workable truce, but another would most definitely upset the peace. If there was someone within 100 miles or so who could foster the kitty I could provide transportation. Dan |

I will pay his adoption fee directly to the shelter, I have already worked that out. He is up for adoption now, over his cold, and was re-evaluated by the vet last Saturday and given until the 29th of June before he will be re-evaluated again. (They are loathe to actually say it, but they are a "kill" shelter.) The location in Orange County is Santa Ana. (At least that is what the caller ID says.) Here is the number I have been using: (714) 935-6943. This is a large operation with room for over 300 cats. Here is the web site: http://www.ocpetinfo.com/ It could be that their facilities are spread out over the county. If it would be okay for me to email you and let you know if I need you to rescue him from the shelter (in the event that he is to be euthanized) please let me know. As I said his adoption fee will be paid (no matter who adopts him) and I would happily supply some cash for food, gas, whatever it takes for you to pick him up. He is a big, 14-lb beautiful and spirited orange tabby, short-haired, with that gorgeous Bengal-ish bullseye pattern on is side. He is a high jumper and a very friendly boy. If you have any friends who are great cat people and might want him, he has had all his shots and been neutered, and his adoption fee is paid. He is also proved to be a "people cat!" Anyway, I am Mary Smith at The shelter has my accountant's contact information so that even if I am not available they can call her in the event that someone wants to adopt him and she will do an electronic funds transfer directly to the shelter over the phone. Let me know if you are available in case of emergency. I really appreciate your reply. |
