kitkatluna - 16 Jun 2005 22:27 GMT reports taht he is back up for adoption starting tomorrow...?
i am still on hold...the woman said she had just gotten another phone call like mine (phil?)...i have no idea what i am supposed to say to this woman, but at least we know that Conan is still alive and kickin! :)
help?
Glitter Ninja - 16 Jun 2005 22:34 GMT >reports taht he is back up for adoption starting tomorrow...? Surely we can get a collection going if we can just find someone in the area who can go get Conan. I'm in Kansas so I can't do it, or I would. Maybe Phil should have asked for help with Conan before this turned into such a mess? Just a random thought...

Again, I'm sorry -- for some reason, killfiling the name "Philip" seems to have also killfiled you, and I've tried manually editing my killfilter but it's not helped. Thanks to this, I'm pretty well out of the loop, and got you two confused. FWIW you are neither a.shole nor prick.

>Phil is the one helping now; Philip is the one who returned him and he >never asked for help, not then, not now. Gah! Sorry for the confusion, I just kind of stepped into the middle of this a few days ago. I was wondering why on earth Phil was helping now, because I thought he was the same person as Philip. Sorry, Phil. I meant PHILIP should have asked for help before dumping Conan off at a shelter.

Mary - 16 Jun 2005 22:45 GMT Pam,
You have my email. Give me the name of the shelter and I will pay one of the people there to take him home until we can figure out what to do. All I have to do is call and send a PayPal.

Probably not necessary at this point. Mary...are you serious about adopting him if we could get Conan to you?
THe shelter is the Orance County ANimal Care Center. Phone 714-935-6943 Conan's ID # P0710740
JQ - 16 Jun 2005 22:53 GMT You are all sure amazing people! If you need $ to help send Conan to a special home post the info - I'll help out. Jacquie
Mary - 16 Jun 2005 23:08 GMT > > Pam, > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Probably not necessary at this point. Mary...are you serious about > adopting him if we could get Conan to you? I want him terribly but my husband says no more cats. However, if we cannot find him as good a home I will take him if we can get him here. John will just have to deal with it. (He is a kind and loving man but has to be talked into things at times. He loves cats, and will love Conan once he gets used to the idea.)
> THe shelter is the Orance County Animal Care Center. > Phone 714-935-6943 > Conan's ID # P0710740 I am on hold now. It is a bit after six here so only just after three there. I am thinking that maybe if I pay his fee it will buy us some time?
It would be better if we could find someone in the LA area who really wants him. But no matter what he is not going to be put to death for a UTI.
Phil, if you get through to your LA contacts, let me know.

I dont think he has any interest in a pet, but I will ask. I was thinking I might be able to ask him for some assistance if we needed someone to get Conan out of the shelter asap. Maybe, just maybe, Conan will be adopted to a great home and have a happy ever after right there in LA. I hope so!

It's good to have him in case we just need legs to get to the shelter and get him out!
>Maybe, just maybe, Conan will be adopted to a great home > and have a happy ever after right there in LA. I hope so! There are a lot of people in LA, and we all have this great tool that can reach some of them.
Phil P. - 17 Jun 2005 16:13 GMT > I want him terribly but my husband says no more cats. However, > if we cannot find him as good a home I will take him if we can > get him here. Mary, if you want him Sky Ark transports animals from Ca to NC.
Instead of a Conan Fund, people can donate directly to Sky Ark.
http://www.skyark.org/ for more info.
Let me know what you want to do.

There's the rub. I would prefer that someone who lives in his area take him--if they will provide the forever home that he deserves. But if it comes down to him going on death row, I will definitely pay his adoption fee and whatever they want to take him and put him on the plane.
Thanks for the info, you are always there when we need you.
hamandcheese@betweentheknees.com - 17 Jun 2005 19:36 GMT > But if it comes down >to him going on death row, I will definitely pay his adoption fee and >whatever they want to take him and put him on the plane. Just waded through all the posts on Conan (phew) and will state this is great news and I will also contribute generously if Conan needs a home outside of LA. However, I have a problem with privacy using paypal to a group member but can live with paypal to a shelter, vet or transport service. Which brings up the problem of getting pledges so that some outfit doesn't end up with a pile of cash or not enough cash.
Planes are out unless traveling in the passenger cabin. A recent new law requiring airlines reveal the death rate of pet cargo has resulted in some airlines refusing to carry pets if they have to publish stats on death rate. That states volumes about safety in the cargo hold.
What about that service that transported a cat to a group member who adapted a cat from a lady who had severe health issues (cancer I believe)?
Kudos to all those who spent time and money tracking down Conan and speaking to the shelter personnel.

I really like the idea of paying the place directly, whether it be the transport service, the person who will pick him up to transport him (I mean that I will send a PayPal directly to that person), or to the shelter (in case someone local decided to take me up on my offer of paying his adoption fee.)
This place that Phil found: http://www.skyark.org/ is set up to take donations, so they could transport him and anyone who wanted to help could do so that way. (My husband objects to my spending the money to transport Conan, so help would be appreciated. Just as with adopting Conan if nobody else will, he will not stop me, but we have a relationship based on mutual respect and I would like to keep it that way!)

> Kudos to all those who spent time and money tracking down Conan and > speaking to the shelter personnel. Thanks, Maurice. He's a neat boy! I don't just want him not to get killed but to get the hell out of the shelter and have a forever home. One thing if I take him: I will keep him forever no matter what. I don't have the heart for anything else. The two things that keep me from just saying "&%$# it" and taking him are:
1. The long trip for him, air or drive, would be very hard 2. The fact that my husband does not want another cat.
That said, if he is not adopted out soon I will take him.

Same here. Not that I don't trust the people who are in on the "Save Conan" mission, but it would be easier.

They have a bus and a cross-country "Greyhound" kind of route. You can bet I will donate to that, regardless of whether we need to transport Conan. What a neat thing!!

It's worth chilling out for a moment here - if you are going to adopt the big C, then freighting him x-country wants some thought, given that he's just getting over a URI. Probably need to chill until he's 100%, however long that may be, and also until you're 100% sure that you do indeed want to adopt him (given that he's not in immediate danger of execution now).
