Bailey - All cats deserve a chance at life

What about the gentleman trucker tht transported for rescues? I know he has been very busy and not been around for awhile, but maybe if someone could find him, he could be the means to yet another kitty miracle?
I read something about him just the other day. I wish I was not so terrible with names.

Or a "freedom train" of volunteer drivers could take small "shifts" and get him there. I've read about that as well.
There are all kinds of transport resources out there. I looked into them when trying to transport a rescued cat from Cincinnati to another TCS member in Denver. It worked, BTW.
Let's make it work for Bailey!

Theres a few members that said they want the sweetie...we need to arrange something. He really deserves a chance!!
Good Luck. I would help any way I could..
Same here, but I am in Kansas.....
How sad, he is a beautiful cat. I hope someone will be able to save him, he looks like he is definitely a nice cat.
This is too heartbreaking. I wish I wouldn't have looked at this post. I am going to have dreams about Bailey. I just can't stand that he has to be put down. I pray someone will save him. I just can't stand to think of that poor kitty with the sweetest face I've ever seen, put down. It breaks my heart.
I hope he can find a home. I have two cats and a one bedroom apartment it would be too hard for me to keep him isolated until he gets over the ringworm. I live in Ohio I would be willing to drive him part way for a home though. Both of my cats were rescue kittens but next time, which I hope won't be for a long time because they are still young, I am going to look for an adult in need of a home. I love kittens but they have a good chance at adoption, it's the adults that get left behind.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news....but we have strict policies on shipping. That is.....no....period.
No flying, no transports.
If you want to adopt, you must come in person. We do not bend that rule for anyone. It's been our policy furr-ever.....(and I can't even talk them in to bending it a little bit-not even for Bailey).
If anyone is interested in adopting him, and OK with the fact that he has ringworm(contagious to other animals & people)......I can come up with a way to hold him somehow. But you would have to drive here(southern MN) to adopt him.

Would some kind of monetary donation help him? Can we donate money to keep him there? I understand the no-transport policy. I hope we can do something for him. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do. I would gladly donate some cash to help him.Originally Posted by white cat lover

Aww what a sweetheart.
I can barely stand to look at his pictures. This is awful! I hope you can figure something out before it's too late! Isn't there anyone you know who will take him even temporary? This is just awful.

Right now....I'm assessing:
1) Does he have ringworm? (Yes)
2) Where do I plan to put him? (No clue)
3) Will any of my cats get ringworm from him? (PJ & Punky, probably...the shelter kitties)
4) How do I plan to pay for treatment? (Haven't gotten that far yet...need to determine a med so I can figure a cost)
5) Do I risk his kidneys/liver treating with an oral med? (I'm leery of an oral med on such on old kitty)
He's only 9 or 10, right? My RB boy Snoopy was 18 and had to go under anesthesia to have his infected teeth removed and I ended up having to give him oral antibiotics after I brought him home from the Vet's. If a cat is only 9 or 10, he has a lot of life left in him to live, and from the looks of his sweet face, he has lots of love to give. It is just too heartbreaking to put that precious boy down.Originally Posted by white cat lover

That is so sad!
I wish there was someone that could take him home. They all deserve a good home, no matter what age! Please keep us posted. He looks like such a sweetheart and deserves so much more.

He's 10-15 years old. Vet is leaning towards 15 years.
