I hope I did the above right.  This is the first time I've ever tried
it.

Most of you will remember my birthday post, about the two kittens and
the horrendous situation that occurred, and that I was only reasonably
able to rescue one from the animal abusing family.

The other night, six police cars and a van showed up out front.  I
still don't know the full story, but it appears the woman was arrested
for domestic violence.  The police looked around the apartment, and
also took the children to foster homes, as there was not adequate
sleeping arrangements, and no food in the house.

While all this was going on, I was on the porch.  And there was
Arthur's sister, on my porch, staring at my empty food bowls.  I
filled them.  I watched the situation unfolding, and watched her eat
her fill, and then quietly picked her up and brought her inside.

So far, the guy has said nothing.  But I am very afraid of what may
happen if he realizes I have the kitten.  He may not care.  After all,
if there was no food in the house for the kids, you can bet there was
none for the kitten :-(  She is Arthur's sister, but looks a lot
smaller and younger :-(  She's also a doll, and very sweet.

So now I don't know what to do.  We are broke.  All cat shelters are
full.  And I am afraid of what might happen if the one neighbor
decides to stir up trouble, or if the woman comes back with the kids
somehow and demands the kitten.  I need a place for her to go, but I
cannot find one.  I just don't know what to do.  One thing I *do* know
is they are *not* getting her back.  I'm sure they have no proof she
is theirs, no photos, no vet records.  I doubt the police would demand
I turn her over should they call the law.  But they are still next
door (the guy, at least), and he is very volatile -- getting drunk
every night and being very loud since the family has been gone.  And
he has friends and neighbors in the area.

I knew I was going to end up with her eventually.  Sometimes, timing
is everything.

Now I just don't know how to get her into a shelter/rescue
group/foster home.  I am just tapped out in terms of resources and
finances right now.  And trying to even find a friend to take her
temporarily (I figured I could put her info up on petfinders or
somethig maybe) has been an exercise in frustration.

Any purrs, prayers or ideas for Morganna (as I'm calling her -- hey,
she's Arthur's sister, right?) are welcomed.

My word, I wonder why they didn't arrest him, too?  But I'm SO glad the
opportunity presented itself for you to rescue Arthur's sister quietly and
without the neighbors noticing.  If he's getting drunk every night, I doubt
he's even realized the kitten is gone, if he realized she was there in the
first place. If those people weren't even caring for their kids, it's
definitely the wrong place for the kitten.

Hooray for you! I have a thought..... what about the lady who came to your
door asking about ways to advertise for the return of her own lost cat,
Butterfin?  Is there anyway you can ask her if she can stash Morganna at her
place for a few days?  If the neighbors don't know her, they won't think to
ask if she has the kitten, and Morganna would certainly have a more pleasant
time with her than with the ugly neighbors. And perhaps Butterfin's mama
will fall in love... Or maybe she has a friend who can take Morganna. Just a
thought.

Purrs for you and little Morganna,

Believe me, I wish they had!  I guess they didn't have enough on him.
There's an eviction hearing this week.  I surely hope that goes
through, and quickly.

That's a good idea, although I hesitate approaching someone who is
already upset about their lost kitty.  And I've found a fosterer for
now, of course.  Still no news on Butterfin :-(

Thanks for the purrs, too.

I'm so glad you got that kitten out of that nasty situation.  Is there any
way that we here on RPCA can help????  I'd love to send some cash myself,
but DH is changing jobs in the middle of this month, and the new place pays
their salaried MONTHLY, so we won't have any income for the whole month of
October!  It's gonna take a while to get used to that - bill-paying wise.

OT,  but we had to do that not long ago. It was so hard! Dollar-stretching

I figured out a long time ago that being broke is a skill you never lose. I

If I still lived in Ohio I would take her in a heartbeat to get her
(and you) out of this situation.  I'd talk to my daughter in
Springfield about it, but her husband is on disability right now and
they already have 2 cats and 2 d*gs.

Hugs and mega purrs that you can find a solution for this without
having to let her go back to that abusive family.

Nan, do your daughter and her husband visit you regularly? If so, maybe
they could take the kitten until their next visit, and then bring the
baby to you. (Or if you're the one who travels for visits, then you could
take the kitten home with you next time.)

Just a thought.

They usually only make it down here once a year.  They might make it
down around Christmas, but that would be too late for Ginger-lyn's
problem.  With Greg's back problems it's hard for them to come this
far.

You did NOT steal a cat. And if that guy is disturbing anyone, call the
police. I would imagine they are looking for any excuse to take him too. I
don't have any good suggestions, but tons of good luck finding a home for
her. I'm sure it will all work out.

When it got very hard for me financially, I stopped buying catfood.  It was
just too expensive.  Instead, I bought the very cheapest beef mince, added a
bit of pasta, and peas from my freezer and cooked them up a stew.  It was
much more economical.
Kitty scarfed it down, but Boyfriend said it was poisonous.  He'd have eaten
it if he got hungry but fortunately things improved and he didn't have to
eat it more than a few times.

Just so you know, cats need more nutriants than provided in the
beef/pasta/pea combination.  by feeding this, the cat can go blind.  A few
days wont do her harm, but long term it will.

It was only for a week when we had bleak times.
I know what cats need.   For that temporary time, both I and the cats didn't
get what we needed. I thought it important to give them something to eat, at
least.
I saw myself through with potatoes and hot dog sausages at 18p a tin.
Hardly a good diet for me either.

Knowing you Tweed, your cats probably ate better during that time than you
did!  I'm sure what you served them, with all the love you added, was more
than adequate for that short amount of time.

Thank you.  I did my best.  We all had food, if not what we might have
wanted. We didn't starve.
The cats got proper catfood again as soon as possible.  And you're right, it
took a little longer for me to get back on a good diet.  I always put my
animals before myself.

Yes!! I'm so glad you rescued that poor kitten. As Karen said, you
didn't "steal" her. She came to you! Animals aren't *things* to be
stolen - and clearly, this baby had a will of her own. She knew where
the food was to be had!

True, but I can understand your worry. Some people just get possessive
about their "things" and won't stand for anyone taking what's "theirs",
even when they don't want them. It's a pride thing.

I hope you can find a good place to hide her!

I don't know much about petfinders - but maybe you could advertise for
a foster home, ie, looking for someone to temporarily foster this kitten.

You might also try craigslist, if that's in your area.

Yep, especially people of this mentality.  And they tend to think
"their" animals are on par with their furniture :-(

Never heard of craigslist.  I am going to put up flyers, and try

Go here:  http://www.craigslist.org/

Then look on the right side of the page, and you'll see a list of
cities. If one near you is listed, you could advertise there. It's all
free.

First, the correct format is:   X-No-Archive: yes

But why would you care if Google or whoever saw your posts to rcpa?
Oh!  Duh!!  You just admitted to rescuing a cat from someone who might
want it back.  No wonder you didn't want it archived.

Your newsreader should be able to do that for you as an option, but if
it's only one post you don't want archived you can put it in manually.

As to your taking responsibility for the kitten, I applaud the act.
If you see an animal obviously in trouble, you  should do what you
can.

You did right. The baby knew where help would come, so naturally she came
to you. You are a rescuer and a heroine. Who knows, maybe your karma will
take a turn to where you'll be able to support this little one too!

In the meantime, if you have PetSmart in your area, you have access to
no-kill shelters. Our local ones have regular shows with out of the way,
little no-kill cat shelters with volunteers who work their tails off to
get their kitties cared for and placed. Roxie and Brandy came from two
such shelters. Call your nearest PetSmart branch and ask them about it.

Blessed be,

Thanks, Christine.  No way was I going to give her back this time.  I

I truly hope they end up in a better situation, too.  It was so
incredibly sad to see them taken out the door and put into the back of
a police van.  I asked the policewoman if she was okay, and she just
shook her head and said "This is the part of my job I hate the most."
The elder boy waved to me as they left, and I told him he'd be okay.
And I told the little girl to be good.  Just a sad, sad situation.

I'm sending purrs and prayers that you find a home soon. Sorry, I have no
other ideas to help.

Good luck

Thank you everyone so much for your kind words, purrs and ideas.  They
really mean a lot to me, and to Morganna.

I didn't post yesterday because I was busy crossing my fingers a phone
call I got would be the temporary answer.  Wanted to wait until it
actually happened to make sure it did!

A woman got my name somehow from somewhere and called and said she
would foster Morganna if one of the local no-kill shelters would check
her out and deworm/deflea her.  They had said they would, so after
some phone calls back and forth, Eileen showed up today to take me and
Morganna up to the shelter to get rid of any little buggies and to
test her.  Please purr if you want to that she tests negative like
Arthur did!  Eileen took her home with her, and I'm sure she'll do
fine there for awhile.

Problem is, Eileen declaws her cats :-(  So I need to find a permanent
home.  I am going to do fliers and try petfinder, but if any one here
knows anyone in the Central Ohio area looking for a beautiful little
black kitten (with a big white splotch on her underside), who exhibits
perfect litterbox behavior, is affectionate, and quite vocal (heh),
please let me know!

Thanks again, and keep purring for a permanent home for this little
one!

Great news - would be really GREAT news except for that bit about
Eileen declawing ;-((

Glad to hear you found Morganna a temporary foster home. Sending purrs
for good test results and a permanent home - and for a way to be found
to educate Eileen about declawing.

I know :-(  And I couldn't exactly rip into her (pardon the pun!)
about declawing in this situation.  I'll run some things off the
Internet to give her after I find Morganna a place and get her there!
