Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004update on stray cat and kittens
In the past 2 days I must have called over 20 shelters looking for a place for the mother cat and 3 kittens. All the places I've heard back from are full. I don't know what to do any more. DH has offered to make a cage to keep them in in a spare room, but I think I'm getting into more than I can handle. It is just so frustrating that no one has room for them. I'm afraid I may have to make the decision to take them to the pound where I know they will be put to sleep.

In 2 and 1/2 weeks I've become attached to the kitten and don't really want to have them put to sleep. I might go ahead and have DH make the cage for them. Thanks for the purrs.

It's amazing how they worm their way into our hearts when we're not looking. I certainly didn't want any cats when I let LB in out of the cold ;-) Even if you don't end up keeping any of them, if your DH makes the cage you'll be able to further their socialization, which will make be more adoptable in the future. And, of course while they're being socialized you'll know they're safe and eating right.

We must have talked for half an hour. Thursday morning she is going to call around and try to find a foster home for them. She is also going to make a poster using pictures I took of them to put up at a local pet expo she has a booth at. The adopt a lot of cats from the event and a foster family could be found this way. I am starting to feel hopeful that they will be place. Tuesday night I just felt so helpless after making so many calls and not getting any calls back. I also have an offer from someone on line for information on how to socialize the kittens if I have to keep them. Thanks every one for all the encouragement and purrs that they will find a home.

You could try adopting them out directly from you? Ann, I sent you an email on this; let me know if you don't get it.

I wish there was something I could do to help, but all we can do is send hang-in-there purrs. I really hope you can find a solution.

I know you'd thought about keeping one of the kittens, but I don't remember how many there are altogether, and of course I don't know whether that would be too many for you to be able to keep. Can your vet offer any suggestions? ------ Krista Lots of purrs and best wishes, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > In the past 2 days I must have called over 20 shelters looking for a place > for the mother cat and 3 kittens.
