Re: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
LONG POST Jane, Hmm long version or short version. I see no way to tell his story as a short version. Ok first of all March 2006 I adopted two cats same day one from a shelter and the other from someone I work with. I had lost my soulmate kitty the week before from bone cancer. I cried again today for all the kitties lost last year. Lionel was the shelter cat unneutered male, with a bite wound from a fight with a raccoon, so I was told. This was animal control he had been there a month. Second was a kitten about 4 months old I would guess. Both cats were orange tabbies, one of my favorite color cats. Both got neutered the next day at a low cost clinic. Just rabies shots were given. Lionel had had some shots but I was not sure which ones. I noticed after getting Lionel back from the clinic he has a broken leg. It was an old break and had healed but worried me. It did not seem to bother him but the wound on his leg did. It just would not heal. I tried getting him to the vet, but my vet was down by two vets and unable to see clients on short notice. I gave up treated the wound myself and it finally healed in about a month. So then he would have had it two months. He also had runny eye which with a good diet cleared up. Pumpkin seemed fine. April 2006 Junior is hit by a car. I found him hiding took him to the only vet I could get in to see. They were wonderful, but expensive. Of course the first thing she did was test him for FeLV and FIV, both negative. He was there a week she managed to get his jaw back in place and stitched his palette back together. He came home would not eat or drink. i took him back the following Monday. They gave him fluids and kept him for the day. He also had damaged his eye and wound up with no sight in it. OK about a month later, soory my timetable is hazy. Tiny got sick with a bad URI. Coughed so hard he fell over. HE went into the same vet got on antibiotics and got better. Pumpkin Lionel both had symtoms of the URI. Neither were bad enough to take in to see the vet. I am guessing this URI was accompanied my the FELV virus as these are the cats who were later to be identified as infected. By AUgust, junior was just not feeling good and had the 'cold' as well. I took him in knowing he was still healing. He was put on Amoxilcillin. It was not working so I took im back thye found heinm to be anemic figured it might be hemobartella as he had a tiny bot of flea dirt. He has been inside since he was hit, so had to picked up the flea from another cat. The Baytril made him feel much better, but Pumpkin was puny. I gave Pumkin Juniors axoxicillin. He slept most of the time. Realize I am paniced about Junior because of the car accident. I did not see Pumpkin was not eating or drinking. He would pretend to do so. Pumkin got worse, and I was able to get him into my old vet. The vet said he was anemic and jaundiced.I am on a very fast learning curve here. I have gone years without a sick cat. The vet said bring him back the following Monday if he was not better. He really looked bad. He went back on Monday he had not really eaten and I could not get him to eat. They kept him put him on Iv and baytril by IV. I saw him the next day. The vet was guarded but he looked like his old self. Loved me purred. The next day I went to see him like 12 hours later. He was half dead. He crashed during the night had seizures and was lifeless did not know I was there. I decided the humane thing was pts. I cried the vet tech cried. It was all so sad. He was not even a year old. I decided even though Junior is not acting ill to take him back into his vet . He was acting sick but had a fever of 106.5. They gave him subQ fluids and called me later to run the Felv test again. My heart sunk, I knew somehow it would be positive and so it was, They did not suggest euthanizing until later, Because he kept getting fevers. They said it was from the FELV. I had to get 9 more cat tested and vaccinated. Two more were positive Tiny (faint pos) and Lionel for FELV and FIV. I believe based on his history he was FIv when I got him I think he became FELV after he came to live here. Unfortunately I decided to have lionel pts. He had also been sick and most likely had Uveitis. I regret this decision now, but I am sure he would not have made it very long. I like to think I saved him suffering. Tiny was asymptomatic. I found this group learned of Immunoregulin and both Tiny and junior got it based on the first protocol. I definitely think it helped junior with the anemia and his gingivitis. Tiny never had symptoms. Junior got the dreaded URI and Uveitis in both eyes. Both took a long time to heal and he felt like crap. I was not real hopeful. He got over both but the uveitis took it's toll and for a short time he was blind in both eyes. He left eye is now fixed a dilated, but he can see out of it the right eye has glaucoma which we treated, but it never improved. It causes pain. Tiny dies Christmas day. Never really sho

Tamara, Thank you, Dear, for your story...I am so sorry your heart was broken like that...I completely understand. It is not like I do not have enough little guys already with me to love... I have 6-cats...Six is supposed to be my max. I also have Gracie , my FeLV+ kitty.I hate to admit to having seven ,so I do not count Gracie ,because I keep imagining I will find her a perfect home... I am not looking for another cat, but I did react on the impulsive side of me to rescue this particular cat, Catcher...I could not help but fall in love with him and want to save him. I seriously need to stop looking at Polys on petfinder.com I have two addictions: FLOWERS and CATS My best girlfriend and I talk about "our sicknesses" often. I better get off this computer and go to work...I do work. I love you guys! Thanks for the support!

RE: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
Glenda, if you're not sure that Catcher has truly been adopted, maybe you should try calling again, to see if you can get a little peace of mind, or maybe talk to someone a little nicer. Keep everything businesslike and try not to reveal annoyance, just, if they say he's adopted, mention that his picture is still up on the site, etc. You might or might not want to tell them that you had already called. I've had bad experiences trying to adopt from our local "humane society" which is privately owned and which appears to think that it's more important to put a prospective owner through an incredibly stringent application process than it is to actually place pets in a home that might not be perfect from all standpoints but would be loving and happy. This same place has been shown to have a huge kill rate, including owners of lost pets coming in a few hours after the pet was lost only to find it had already been euthanized. I can't fathom why so many of these places seem to lose sight of their mission, and for a place that's supposed to be based on compassion for animals, so many of them appear to have no compassion for the people who come to them.

RE: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
Glenda, I attempt to adopt a cat from PetFinders a few years back. My application was accepted, but an "accident" occured in the foster home where he was being held...apparently Carruthers was "chasing cherry tomatos" the caregivers son was tossing out an open 2nd story window (??) and he jumped/fell (or was he dropped???) out into a pack of dogs on the deck below that she had just set food out for. She said she vetted him and he only had bruisesbut two days before I was to pick him up, she told me she found him dead on his chair. I was CRUSHED, having just lost my cat to a blood clot a few months back and still blame myself for not being able to get up there and pick him up sooner. I didn't believe her either and had my sister (different last name) contact her wanting to adopt him...but she too was told he died. I still have his picture in a frame on the memorial shelf with my other critters ashes. Sometimes.."s - it" just happens and despite our best intentionsit just isn't meant to be.

RE: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
Melissa, Thank you for all that flight info. I had my next steps figured out, as far as the transportation, could have gotten myself down there and was willing to bug people, to see if they would not run down there to secure the situation, so as to give me a couple days...I only 'know' someone in Fort Worth, not anyone really close... Oh well...I was just moved to try my best for this cat...Sometimes you can just look at an animal and know...It is like what I said to Caroline the other day, about seeing that special one that touches your soul. I had a special feeling for Catcher... Bless everyone of you wonderful people out there, who are taking the time to care for, the little things in life, that really are ,the big things in life...

RE: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
Everyone, I just got ahold of an actual person at the shelter in Fort Worth regarding Catcher. This is how my conversation went: I ased if Catcher was available. The gal goes I need a #. I give her the #: 501505. She says, "That does not sound like a good #. Then a minute later she says, "She has been adopted." I said, "He was a boy." Like I'm just irritated they did not even know he was a boy...Then I said , "When?" She said , "Why?" I said, "Because they said, if Catcher was not adopted right away, he was going to be put down." My heart is just broken, because I simply do not believe these people...This is a government facility...I cannot believe they left themselves open to a bunch of panicked people out here, worried about that cat by the ad that was put out on petfinders...They have to have fosters...It is possible this cat was adopted, but the tone of the person's voice on the other end, was abrupt...scared the hell out of me... The phone # to that facility is 817-392-3737 just for anyone out there that wants to try it out... I have been involved with animal rescue and shelters in my past and really do not trust the image they try to project to the public...thus to keep people like me calm...It is not their fault, I do understand, but knowing this is no consolation...Well enough depressing stuff. Remember he could have gotten adopted...Glenda --- Melissa Lind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Glenda, > > How's it going with Catcher? Can you post the link > to his picture?

Hi Glenda, I live in VA so nowhere near Fort Worth. I thought the duck suit was ridiculous, he is gorgeous on his own merit. I have never had a poly, but several of my kitties came from poly families and their paws look bigger, I always check Spike because her mother was a poly and she looks like she has buds of what could have been extra toes but that is all. I am so glad you are taking on Catcher's Cause. So may kitties needing home. I can only save one at a time. I am still amazed at Junior's progress.

RE: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
Hi Glenda, How's it going with Catcher? Can you post the link to his picture? I hope you are able to get him. Have you looked into cheap flights? Southwest Ding might be the place to go to get down there, but I'm not sure if they have a Omaha / Fort Worth flight. You can't take cats on Southwest (no pets allowed), but you could always find another cheap flight back. When I flew to Best Friends, my airfare was around $200 round trip on two different airlines! About $100 on the way out, $80 on the way back, plus $50 for the cat on the way there to ride under the seat. Then I got a great deal on a car. I booked it so that it was a turn-around--no hotel needed, just a little napping in the airport. Let me know how things go...I don't think you're crazy. More cats can be overwhelming, but if we don't take them, who will?

Re: OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
HI Glenda He is SOOO cute. I hope he gets a good home. I just aquired a new kitten. She is solid grey. Now with Junior being FeLV pos. I had no intention of bringing a cat home. Someone told the lady I did rescue. She told me all the shelters were full. Someone had dropped the kitten off and she was half starved. She is doing better and is confined to Eric's room. Which means she also has company. However I am still trying to find her a home. There are sveral poeple where I work who are interested. Her picture is on my website see below.

OT: OOPS, I HAVE BEEN ON PETFINDERS AGAIN...
Hi Guys, Well, here I am at my computer, dinking around, going to very dangerous places for me...Sometimes I just click petfinders .com and check out the POLYS, my big passion. Sadly, I see that the mom to my kittens, Lovey is still waiting for a forever home, in a foster home situation, in Arizona. I know she is safe, but it is sad she is still waiting. However, I know her foster mom would never let anything happen to her... I have never read a petfinder ad where they flat out tell you that if a home is not found soon for an animal, that animal will be put to death. I do know the reality of our over flowing shelters, I'm not stupid...I guess I just do not like to face thinking about these things... There are shelters that operate as no kill and keep the same animals for years...I have been seeing some of the same animals waiting for months now...There is , for example , a shelter in Bozeman Montana that has only adult cats to offer people . The ages on these cats is as high as 11-12 years...A young cat at this shelter is mayber 4-6 years...It is crazy...These yype of shelters are really not good either , because new animals are turned away for lack of space...New animals are killed, kittens are killed, if there are no other facilities able to take them... Well, guys, here is what is making me cry my eyes out tonight: THERE IS A CAT NAMED CATCHER IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS. HE IS A GREAT BIG ORANGE POLY.EXTRA TOES FRONT AND BACK FEET! HE IS ADORABLE! AS I'M WRITING THIS I CAN ONLY HOPE HE IS STILL ALIVE. I EMAILED THE SHELTER, JUST NOW, TO TELL THEM I WAS INTERESTED IN HIM! I TOLD THEM I'D CALL THEM IN THE MORNING. IF YOU READ THE AD YOU WILL UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS HERE. I CAN ONLY HOPE THERE IS AN OUT POURING OF HELP FOR THIS CAT. I KNOW ONE PERSON THAT LIVES IN FORT WORTH. I KNOW A TRUCK DRIVER THAT HAS A RUN THROUGH THERE. I SIMPLY FEEL COMPELLED TO TRY AND SAVE THIS CAT. IF ANYONE WANTS TO HIT ME OVER THE HEAD WITH A STICK , I WILL UNDERSTAND. IF ANYONE HAS ANY EXTRA IDEAS HOW I CAN RESCUE THIS CAT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I COULD FORWARD HIS PICTURE TO THIS SITE, BUT THAT WOULD BE BREAKING THE RULES, I THINK? AT THE LEAST, IT WOULD BE UPSETTING AND OR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL YOU SOFTIES OUT THERE... I DID ASK, IN MY EMAIL TO THE SHELTER, IF CATCHER HAD BEEN TESTED FOR FeLV/FIV. I WILL LET YOU GUYS KNOW TOMORROW WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN MY PURSUIT OF THIS PROJECT I'M UNDERTAKING HERE... I KNOW WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH TO DEAL WITH, JUST WITH OUR OWN LIVES AND THE KITTIES WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR CARE... SORRY ,BUT SOMETIMES ON THIS SITE WE FIND OURSELVES GOING TO EACH OTHER FOR COMFORT AND UNDERSTANDING. I GUESS IT WAS MY TURN TONIGHT. I USUALLY DO NOT START BAWLING OVER A CAT I DO NOT KNOW , BUT THIS AD, PROFILING CATCHER, REALLY MOVED ME. IF ANYONE HAS TIME ON THEIR HANDS TO LOOK CATCHER UP CHECK HIS PICTURE OUT.
