My neighbor's cats

That is GREAT news! I always worry about outside kitties before the winter months. It sounds like these kitties will not have to worry!

Thanks, guys. Please keep the vibes coming that I can pull this off on kind of short notice. The rescue is definitely interested in taking the cats and is willing to take them this weekend. So, I need to get a hold of both of them and to the vet in the next few days. I made one appt. for Friday afternoon and another for Sat. morning. Come Here needs her shots updated and both cats need to be tested for FeLV and FIV. Fortunately, I have donation from somebody that will cover most of the vet cost. Please send major vibes and prayers that both cats are healthy. If not, I'll figure something out.

I also need to figure out where to put the cats once I get them inside. The only space is our garage and I'm not sure my downstairs neighbor will go for it. Another option is begging my other neighbor to take the cats back in, at least temporarily. I don't know if he'll go for it, but it's worth a shot. I saw Sylvester last night when I put fresh food and water and Come Here this morning, lounging on the steps of yet another neighbor's house. They're both friendly and will come to me. It's just a matter of timing. Can you tell I'm a little panicked? Just need vibes/prayers that this comes together. Thanks, guys!

and Prayers that both get a clean bill of health and that someone can take them in for a couple of days until they can go to the rescue.

Thanks for the vibes, guys. Please keep them coming till Come Here and Sly are safe and sound with the rescue.

I haven't seen Come Here for a couple of days and am getting a little worried. Could really use some vibes for her safety and that she shows up by tomorrow morning, so I can get her to the rescue a planned.

I was able to get a hold of Sly last night when he came by for dinner, so he's now in a kennel in our basement. He's not happy and it's not ideal, but at least it's just temporary. I'm taking him to the vet this afternoon. Please send vibes that he checks out okay. He certainly looks healthy but, honestly, since he's been in some fights and has the scars to prove it, I'm concerned he'll test postive for FIV. If so, I'll have to find another place for him.

Will keep you posted. Thanks!

I think I remember you posting before about "Come Here" and the problems with your neighbour neglecting her.

I hope you are able to find wonderful loving homes for these sweet babies.

I hope everything went well at that Vet and that Come Here shows up so you can get her inside as well.

Yes, I first posted about Come Here last summer. She was aroiund 10-months-old at the time and my neighbor was letting roam the neighborhood without being spayed. We took care of that pretty quickly. I've been keeping an eye on the situation ever since and, honestly, am not surprised it came to this.

Sly did great at the vet and is in excellent health except for an abscess on his front paw. My vet cleaned it up and he's now on antibiotics, so should be just fine.

Still no sign of Come Here, which really has me worried. Please keep the vibes coming for her.

Thanks!

Sending "Run To Eileen's House" and Prayers, Come Here's way.

Thanks, guys.

I saw Come Here in the yard this morning, so at least she's safe. Despite offering her some wet food and spending some time just sitting there talking to her softly, I couldn't get her to come any closer. So, I cancelled the vet appt. and will have to try again next week. Looks like I'm to have to work to earn her trust. She's a sweet cat, just more shy than her brother. I really don't want to have to trap her, but will if need by.

So, it'll just be Sly going to the rescue today. At least he'll be safe and take care of and have the chance at wonderful new life. Sly's an awesome cat, really and laidback. I even had the big guy sitting on my lap last night. I love tuxedo's and really wish I could keep him myself.

Anyway, please keep the vibes coming for a home for Sly and that I can get a hold of his elusive sister. Thanks!

I'm so glad that you saw Come Here and at least know the little stinker is okay.
Still sending and Prayers your way.

Ack!! Sorry you couldn't get a hold of Come Here, those rascally kitties!! but soooo glad that Sly is healthy!!

Just a quick update: Come Here has been making an appearance every day to eat, but is still keeping her distance from me and my downstairs neighbor. Poor girl is obviously traumatized by the whole experience of being put outside, much more so than her brother was. I may have to consider trapping her. Please continue to send vibes for this sweet girl.

Meanwhile, I found out yesterday that my idiot neighbor who abandoned is now in jail for the next 30 days for failure to pay child support. There was time I actually felt sorry for this guy because it seemed like he was doing the best he could to care for his cats. At this point, I've lost all respect for him and just feel so sad for the cats.

Hey guys, great news about Sylvester. Had a email from the shelter this morning. He was a little scared at first, which is to be expected, but has settled in and is back to his sweet self. He responded well to the antibiotics and is now in one of their cat rooms and up for adoption. The director says she thinks he'll find a home quickly. I may try to visit him this weekend.

Now, for Come Here. I'm really starting to worry about her since no one has seen her since Monday. Someone is eating the food I've been putting out. Hopefully it's her. I've decided to go ahead and set a couple of traps tonight. She'll be traumtized, but no more so than she already is. That way I can get her inside and to the vet ASAP. She's a sweet girl and I'm sure she'll calm down once she feels safe.

Please send some major vibes/prayers that I can trap her. Thanks!

Great news about Slyvester.
Sending sucessful trapping your way!

Great news, everybody - I saw Come Here in our backyard when I got home from work yesterday so went ahead and set two traps last night. Got her!

She's in my spare room now, under the bed and little scared, but okay otherwise. She let me pet her a little and even let me put some Frontline on her. I'll get her to the vet first thing next week, then start working on finding her a home or placing her with a rescue. I'm not sure the same place that took Sylvester will be able to help at this point, but will certainly ask. I'd actually like to give Come Here a couple of weeks to calm down and feel safe before doing anything.

She's such a gorgeous girl. I can't wait to brush her when she's up to it. Will post pics later. I'm also thinking she needs a new name. Come Here is cute but definitely doesn't suit her. Will start another thread for suggestions.

Thanks so much for the vibes/prayers, guys. I'm so relieved Come Here is safe inside!

Great news Elicon!!

That's wonderful news Eileen.
I'm so happy she's safe and sound and in your good hands.
