Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2005Update on stray kitty
I called all over the darn place today and found a program called PASS (what it stands for I have no idea). They mail out vouchers for a free spay or neuter to low income houses. Yay, we passed! Then they whooshed me along to a place about 45 minutes away who works with them to claim the voucher AND get the animal shots, deworming, ear mites, rabies, etc. It costs $37 USD. Gosh, my other house cats cost $150 USD EACH! My mother-in-law paid for those. :~) We have an appointment for the 27th. I'm hoping she'll stick around that long. So far, so good. kili >I called all over the darn place today and found a program called PASS >(what [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > that > long. So far, so good. Great news!

I couldn't have lucked out more. I think this cat is going to be the love of my life - not that my current two aren't, but............Does anyone know what I mean? kili That is great news that you were able to get help with spaying your surprise guest... when DP found the bits, he spent a chunk of his student loan for med school on getting them spayed and vaccinated. Naughty MomDad! for naughty bitties! --Fil You know, my eyes might be deceiving me since she's so skinny, but with those blue eyes, and the shape of her face, she looks distinctly part-Meezer to me.

I think you're right.

There *is* a stray Siamese that wanders around; it's possible she's an offspring. There are sooooooo many strays in my area. It's sad. Thanks to me, there are now 3 fewer strays; my other two were born in my shed and I gave them a home. kili >I called all over the darn place today and found a program called PASS (what >it stands for I have no idea).

"Paw" five! kili > I called all over the darn place today and found a program called > PASS (what it stands for I have no idea).

They only pay a portion of the cost of the spay/neuter, from $20-45 depending on the type of animal & the gender (lots of vets charge less for male neutering than they do for female spaying). One of my duties when I do my volunteer work is to enter all the applications into an Excel database so they can track where the money goes. Last week, someone had filled out their application for their animal, and they entered "pit bull/jack russel terrier mix" for the breed of animal - can you imagine what that kind of critter would look like - or even act??? There's be a little dog with a huge head bouncing around...LOL (snip) >Last week, someone had filled out their application for their animal, and >they entered "pit bull/jack russel terrier mix" for the breed of animal - >can you imagine what that kind of critter would look like - or even act??? >There's be a little dog with a huge head bouncing around...LOL And in need of an exorcist. :P Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >> I called all over the darn place today and found a program called >> PASS (what it stands for I have no idea).

My mother-in-law had like 10 or 11 done and it did not bost her a thing. If you want meds for pain afterwards it costs you extra. The reason she had so many is that she took in 2 female strays that were both pregnant!! http://users.ameritech.net/lestark/ > > I called all over the darn place today and found a program called > > PASS (what it stands for I have no idea).

Since she is going to be outside anyway, maybe try dusting her fur with garlic powder. Be sure it is fresh and powdered, not granulated. You could put granulated garlic in gooshy food, it is not as strong tasting as the powder. Garlic is debatable of being good or bad for cats. But brushing and combing would certainly help. > Driving home from town last night I had an idea for you, to perhaps help the > flea situation without bathing her or using a chemical.

With the PASS voucher thing, she doesn't have an appointment for the kitty until 8/27. Meanwhile, she's feeding and watering it (gosh, that makes the cat sound like a plant!) and making sure she's taken care of. I'd send her some money to help with the vet bills but I don't have any to spare. I just hope this cat checks out negative for diseases; she's already won kili's heart.

I understand all that; I've been following the thread. I thought she might appreciate a way to possibly lessen the flea problem without having to bathe or treat the cat with chemicals. After all, she only has ten days to get the cat strong enough to withstand major surgery. > > > Driving home from town last night I had an idea for you, to perhaps > > > help the flea situation without bathing her or using a chemical.

Check out the website I'm making for her. http://www.geocities.com/kilikini1/newkitty.html I finally got a shot with her eyes open! kili Pat, she already LOOKS better!

Beautiful blue eyes. I agree with whoever said she is part meezer. Suz&Spicey Wonderful news! Thank you for taking such good care of the stray kitty.
