GORGEOUS black kitty.. pics inside!

[PoohnPglet]

Well, I would take her. Anyone willing to bring her down to Orlando? I could meet you at WDW!!

First let me say thank you for doing what you are doing for these beautiful cats/kittens..........Right now I am dealing with an extra cat myself, I walk 6 miles each day I am off (about 24-30 miles per week) the trail is an old bridge that goes across Tampa Bay, well anyway there are several strays down there that I try to feed, about a week ago a new one showed up, very friendly, looked in good health and you could just tell she had been just dumped. So 2 days ago I brought a carrier down there and got her! She is not the prettiest kitty in the world, but very laid back and nice, she seems to be fitting in well here, but anyways with 7 I have my hands full so I contacted a local rescue group and they are taking her on Monday, I thought I'd have her for a few weeks but am glad I am not since I get to attached to anything with fur. And I know how hard it can be to be in the adoption and placement of animal field! I did the greyhound thing for several years and even though you know they are finding great homes it's sometimes hard to let go. I wish you all the luck in the world for doing what you are doing for these guys and also to all the people on this thread who want to help with transportation.

Thank you all SO MUCH! Hopefully princess has a home with a wonderful diser!!! I believe rebound has a home too.. that leaves poor alex... the attention lover bobtail.

I have REALLY enjoyed your stories and photos.. keep them up! What a heartwarming thread this has become. So glad to meet other animal lovers and your offers to help transport have made my heart swell. THANK YOU!

 

[CinRell]

I'm bumping this because alex, the overly friendly kitty with the bob tail is DESPERATE for a home NOW.. his foster can no longer keep him... please can anyone foster or adopt him? Transport CAN BE ARRANGED!

 

[MzDiz]

Bump!

Where in Michigan is Alex?

He'll be coming to Cleveland, Ohio today to stay in a garage until a better situation is found.

I just found out he's having some poopy problems, though... he may have to be a barn kitty

However the first fluffy kitten in the post still needs a home as well.

Did any of the cats get to go with any of our fellow disers?
Boy they are all so beautiful.

Is the fluffy one (princess??) fixed? My sister is looking for a young cat (not kitten), who is ok with dogs, and who is fixed.

Wow, that would be so nice if she could go with your sister.

The one in new orleans is the ONLY ONE who found a home... he's staying with the foster... her dog begged and begged her to let him keep the kitty.... her dog is a katrina survivor as well and honestly LOVES cats. She fostered a black cat before and found him a home... this one .. rerun.. fell right back in love with shaggy. THey sleep together.... anyway she decided to let shaggy keep his little pet kitty


ALL KITTIES WILL BE FIXED BEFORE PLACEMENT!!! So yes... the little girl .. if not already.. WILL be fixed. I'd love if your sis was interested!!!!

I just found this thread, I just LOVE your babies and what you're doing.

Unfortunately I have TWO cats too many for my complex and I SNUCK them in here!

All of my kitties are rescues.

Here is my Aaliyah, who looks like the cat from the first page:

 

[CinRell]

How cute! What a magnificant tail!!!

 

[taximomfor4]

shoot, I put a call in to my sister. Her dd says she agreed to take a kitten someone's cat had. But I remember she preferred a cat, not a kitten...I will find out whether her dd is correct, or whether she might consider OP's orphan cat.

BTW, the cat in the OP looks quite a bit like my cat Catarina! Here is her pic:

 

[CinRell]

Oh I love catarina!

She wants a sister, she said

Have you tried Albon? It's our cure all for our rescue kitty's with potty probelms. A lot of times they have coccidia.
I just took in a really scared kitty this morning. She's just been spayed, and is at our house to try and domesticate her now. Two other cats rescued with her are way too feral, and they'll go back once "fixed". I've spent hours in with her, but so far she just stays hidden. I get her out, think I'm making headway, but as soon as I put her down, she scoots back in. I sure hope she doesn't end up being feral. Once we reach the 4 month mark, it takes months to calm them down, if we can at all.
I had one go into surgery today for an umbilical hernia (and a spay while she was there). She did fine on the surgery, but she has an awful URI from being out in the bitter cold. She appears to have been someone's pet, but they sure didn't take good care of her She's one of the best/sweetest adult cats we've had. Grateful for just a pat on the head.
We are lucky..Pet Smart gave us space, so we are able to adopt out all of our strays. Have you guys tried approaching them. rather than transport the kitty's all over?

My cat Catarina, that I put a picture of on the previous page, was feral when we got her. She was at a rescue out in the country. They figured she was just around a year old, and they had to trap her to catch her. We are bad cat-parents -- we don't take her to the vet. We did, when we'd had her a few months but she cannot stand being held or trapped or confined. She went nuts at the vet. So now she just hangs out around the house INO interest in going outside at all). She hid for months and months, only came out when I sat calmly and quietly. Then when I would stand up, or if anyone walked into the room, she hid again. She is pretty brave these days, we have had her for 2 yrs now. Still can't pick her up or hold her though.

DM.. petsmart is used by rescue groups only here and they're all full I try to place locally first.. right now I can't foster so I help people who are desperate online and through other groups....

I ramed an 8 year old feral once!!! So you have hope. If you can "get her out"... she sounds past the feral stage and just at the scared stage. Ferals I've had would tear your hand out if you tried to touch them. I'd put her in a room with noplace to hide but a crate.. so you can still see her and talk to her. THe longer they can hide unseen the longer it takes... they have to know you have access to them and still dont' hurt them.

Sounds like you know what you're doing but I've tamed my share of ferals so if you ever need advice.. or encouragement (which we all need time to time in rescue!) don't hesitate to contact me

Bless you for saving these babies!

taxi my kitty who I recently had to put to sleep was skiddish until her last few years.. she was 15... sometimes it takes YEARS.. sometimes they never want to be held. A saying I love.. cats are like butterflies. they go where they please, and they please where they go. I can tell you love her despite her not wanting to be held

If she's indoor only, fixed, had her kitten shots.. there's no reason for her to go to the vet. You're not bad kitty parents. If she seemed "off" i"m sure you'd take her in. Vaccinations .. esp. on indoor kitties.. are controversial. Some don't even do kitten shots tho most vets prefer them to when fixing them.

I think all cats NEED to be altered... but after that I don't agree with vaccinating. It's a touchy subject but you're caring for your baby just as I did mine.
