Hey guys, I just got an email from a little girl who has found a kitten and doesn't quite know how to care for it. It sounds very young. She has to go to school and she can't find anyone who wants this poor kitty. She wants me, but that's about the gist of it. I realize that New York is a big place, and all I know is she lives in New York, so she could be anywhere, but if you can help that would be great.

Give me a shout via PM or email if you think you can help her out?

Hey Val, I find enough cats on my own!


I am about 2 hours away from Manhattan. I wish I knew someone in Northern NJ or NY City that I could call for you!

MaryAnn, I wish we could. We just found out this afternoon that Tillie, our latest rescue, needs 4 teeth extracted. We're at our limit unless we hit the lottery.

Ok thanks- I wish I lived closer so I could rescue this kitten, this girl sounds like she could use the help.

i sure hope that she can find a home for the baby
Just wondering what color is it and how old? I'll have hubby ask around work and see if there is anyone good willing to take another kitty.

This board is great- a kitty guardian angel or actually (angels) have come to the rescue! Am trying to get with this little girl via email now, and have her parents transport the kitty to an ER clinic where those who wish to stay anonymous will foot the bill and find a home for it, if it is healthy........

Update on Kitty- it is a girl, very malnourished and apparently filthy dirty when it was turned in.
It is a little Tuxedo kitty- but it tested negative for all the kitty diseases, and just needs a good home with lots of TLC! Anyone willing to take on a 4 week old kitty and get her out of a boarding situation right now at the vet's office, please email me at [email protected]


Thanks!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
I contacted no-kill shelters in the area, to see if there was anyone who could help, but they're full (and just like typical New Yorkers, were MEAN!)

I've written a note to the woman who runs the Cat Chalet (she boarded some of our feral kittens this winter while we found homes for them). I received an e-mail from her just a couple of days ago... she had someone who was looking for a kitten. I so hope that person hasn't already adopted one yet! The Cat Chalet is only open for an hour today, so I doubt she'll see my note until tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!!!! Maybe we can find this kitty a home!

For those of you who were following this story, just wanted to provide a quick update.

Gary and I have found someone to FOSTER the kitty. Still have to find her a furrever home. But the wonderful family who runs www.thecatchalet.com is going to take on the project of fostering this litte one! Susan, the one who runs The Cat Chalet, is in the process of becoming a mommy herself for the first time
, but her mom, hubby and staff will help out with the little kitty.


I've had a snuggle kitty sent to her (it should be there tomorrow
), and tomorrow night Gary and I will stay late in NYC and have www.petride.com pick up the kitten from the hospital (it's only open at night), deliver it to us, and we'll drive her out to Susan's.

Only one thing left to do....find her a home!

Imagine that a little girl in Queens, an artist in Oregon, and a Financial whiz kid in New Jersey could come together to rescue a starving kitten. It warms my heart!
