The cat in my garage will be going to a new 'home'.
I have been talking to a former coworker. He's a big cat lover, and he
has the space to keep the kitty (no name yet) isolated. He will keep her until a home can be found. We are working out the finances for the kitty :-( Tomorrow I will be taking a LOT of aluminum cans, and some copper pipe, and some heavy gauge copper wire, that was in my basement when I bought my house in 1979, to a scrap yard. This will finance some of the initial costs. I should mention that since I realized the cat wasn't leaving, I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to find somebody who lost this cat. I contacted/checked all the normal places: Animal Control, craigslist.com, the newspaper. Vet offices in the area. I even called the Inhumane Society, to see about reports of lost cats in my area. I found NOTHING. I covered every street for a mile in every direction, looking for 'lost cat' posters. I found several, and, since this was before I had seen the kitty, I just kept the information. None of the lost cats were a buff colored with a white belly female :-( So the cat WHO NEEDS A NAME, is going to live in a large walk in closet, (it's better than a GARAGE, at least! And it has a window, too.) while I see if I can get the ONLY no kill rescue organization in a metro area of 3 million people, who didn't just say 'no we can't do ANYTHING for you' to help with the vet costs. They said they would, if I would foster the cat, earlier today. I have to get some Advantage or Frontline (DUH..why didn't I think of this already?) to give the cat before she can go to her new 'home' How long does it take for Advantage, or Frontline to kill off all the fleas this unfortunate kitty might have? Because that's how long she will have to stay in my garage :-( But things are looking up. I'd like to ask for help with a name, because I am drawing a complete blank. Except for Buffy, which seems a bit stupid, to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.
