yes, supposedly.  The person who got me in contact with her I have never met in person, but she helped me with my TNR/Colony, and she runs a respected group and is well known/respected by local vets.  I don't think she knows this lady well, but I might call and ask what the deal is.  Thanks :)

Thanks, Heather.  I think your gut is pretty much on target.  this kitty needs help and maybe I can network to get him some help if she refuses mine.  I also noticed she expressed interest at another cat I mentioned seeing - she didn't say she'd adopt him but that she was thinking about him and

Thank you for offering to take the cat to the vet for a check up. From what you've told us it sounds like the person who has this cat needs help too (psychological help) I'm guessing the cat will be much happier in a new home! On 01-19, Emeraldkittee wrote: thanks, Laurie, I appreciate you

In a similar case I got my hands on the cat and never returned the cat. The guy was furious with me but the cat was much better off. She was starved and not altered. She came with six kittens. He called me about the kittens. I asked about the mom and said I would pay to have her spayed but when I

Wow, sounds like she has issues- what kind, who knows? See if your vet will give you an ace promazine (or something similar) to give the cat, so that you can get it in the carrier (provided the woman lets you take it anywhere!). Since he's stuck in a room, he can't really hide when the

Hey Natalie and everyone,   I know, just for me to take this guy and do everything it would be over $600 ($750 for a home visit) – and I just can’t do that with all my own special needs babies.  I completely thought she was affiliated with a rescue group and I could do this at a discount.   The
