I just hope Louie's OK.
Kinda scarey and worrying to see the "absolutely desperate" and actually have people willing to pay for shots and someone to take the kitty and then no response!
I agree. Help is here, your prob solved. And nothing. Unsettling.

Just my thoughts- Generally, when I make this offer, and I will from time-to-time- the OP will beat their feet trying to get to my door. In many cases, the kitty is on borrowed time, and the lifeline thrown is held on eagerly and the cat is in my possession usually within a few days. I suspect, and I hope to be proven wrong- that this kitten has already been given up on, which would be such a shame because he is only acting like a bored kitten. Here, he would have plenty of interaction with the group both in the house and outside in the enclosure and all the lap time he needed. But, I have heard nothing past a quick PM that said it wouldn't be right away, but she would be down in Oregon in the future.- pretty tenious if you ask me.
Since I said I would take him, I have had three more kittens dropped over my fence so I am really full at the moment. But, I will still take Louie if he ever gets into my neck of the woods.

That's a real shame. What an offer you gave them too. I hope the little guy is ok.
Makes me very sad.
You are a quality person to have given that offer.

Hi Guys -
I'm very sorry I have not been able to reply. Work has pulled me out the door for nearly every waking moment.
Louie is doing peachy at the moment. Yes I am desperate to find him a happy home.
I have not given up on him. I'm trying to have extra play time with him as I can scrap it together. I do love him very dearly.
Federal way is about a 30-45 minute drive from downtown seattle. I dont own a car, and my boyfriend just lost his. I am making arrangements to go to a nearby Banfield vet clinic that does the low cost shots. I was able to work it out with them to get all shots for under $50 with no visit cost.
As I explained to Hissy, I am doing what I can as quickly as I can. My boyfriend is currently trying to help me get the money together to get him neutered to see if it will help calm his nerves and make me re-concider giving him away (he's fallen in love with him when he behaves himself)
I really appreciate the responses. And Caroline, you're a wonderful person. I really couldnt be more thankful for your great response.
I will keep you all updated.
Also, it's hard for me to get back here too frequantly due to my work schedule.

Personally, I am not looking for additional ways to spend my money. I donate $36 each month to the ASPCA, as well as taking care of our own 6 cats. I was prepared to send a check to help the OP, but no one ever got back to me with details so my offer is withdrawn.Originally Posted by catsknowme;2951106.
maybe we can direct our energies to helping out another kit in need - I'm sure Hissy or Eilcon can give a few suggestions :

I was hoping to flush you out of the woodwork.
Louie just needs some playtime and attention- one-on-one if you set it up on a schedule, this will help him relax when he is alone. For example, one week of a scheduled play time say at 9:00 p.m. and lasting no more than 20 minutes, will get Louie's body to realize that this is something occurring every night without fail. Something he can look forward to. Follow up your play with a meaty treat that he never gets anytime else. Check out www.nekoflies.com for the BEST and I do mean the BEST interactive cat toy, I have ever had the pleasure to present to my crew. Make sure this is supervised activity if you buy one of these, and my suggestion is either the Kittenator or the Karatula! It is a young company, but the owner- boy, does she understand and love cats!
At any rate, the offer stands. If you can't work with Louie and get him to calm down, I will take him. Normally, I could come and pick him up, but these days nothing about my life is normal!
Take care and good luck- sounds like he is in the right home after all. I was afraid you had just tossed him outside or sent him packing to the pound.

Primula - I do appriciate your offer, but I was not looking for money from anyone on here. I am thankful there are wonderful people like you out there.

I will look into this. What made us change our mind and give it another try was the day after I spoke to you about all of this, my boyfriend was leaving my apartment and found a dead kitty on the sidewalk. From what he told me, it looked like it had fallen. I live on the top floor of my building (which is the 12th floor) and I am absolutely terrified of my louie getting out of the window from his bordom. So we are both making an effort.
I would never just let him out to take care of himself.. couldnt bare to do it.

You can go to home depot and get a flat panel trellis- just be sure the decoration is small enough that a kitty's head won't get stuck in it. Measure your window screens, cut the panel to fit. Screw one screw into each four corners of the window and bend the panel to fit. This way, you can open and close your window, air can come in and kitty can't get out. That's what we do here and it works really well.

I just wanted to give a quick update to all those who were caring:
Louie is doing great. In the last few days, he's actually been behaving at night a little more. I have been avoiding nickering at him to calm him down at night, and it seems to get him to settle quicker if I dont do it.
He has an appointment in a week and a half for his shots.
thanks again all
