Did this cat find a home, or a foster? I can't read through 15 pages of hateful stuff after reading about how shelters are euthanizing kittens. Did she find a place? Or can I still offer?

Buddscreek offered but never contacted the lady with the cat to get it from her as of yesterday. I can understand why you'd not want to read through some of the garbage that was posted in this thread.

I will be glad to give you the lady's contact information so you can call her. I will PM you and I will also let the lady know someone new will be contacting her.

So what's up with Momma Kitty?

BuddsCreek never called the lady to get the cat, the next person who offered, after days go by, eventually said their landlord said no. After all the days of delays (some possibly intended delays?), the Momma cat gave birth yesterday. I hope that people don't think the delays have changed anything. The Momma cat and all the kittens will likely be put down anyway. We don't have the money to take that many cats to the spay/neuter clinic AND we STILL have adults we are trying to place. So they can't stay with us (we're full), and I'm not going to allow them to go anywhere other than a shelter at this point where I can be assured not one of them will leave without being fixed.

The chances of them all making it out of the shelter alive are slim to none. Maybe a couple kittens will be adopted, but Momma will surely die there, because people want kittens over adults. Fact of life. So we may not have been able to abort the birth in time, but the end result will likely still be the same in that they will end up dead at the shelter anyway. There are just too many critters and not enough homes sadly.

PS had the initial offer come through and she birthed in the home of a foster, the Momma and the kittens would have had a better chance of being adopted. But after the unreliability experienced with offers, and the cold hard fact of over-population, we decided it's best to not allow people to foster litters anymore. Better that the litters be aborted before they come into this over-populated world.

I tried. My landlord didn't call me for three days. The wife wasn't quite as soft as I thought she'd be. She was ok with a cat, but not a pregnant one. She was also ok with a kitten, but not with kittenS. :/ Unfortunately, when you rent, you are at the mercy of the landlord.

Good for you:yahoo: I thought Arkie said she was only going to be placed in the shelter. That's great that you were able to step in!

Please consider getting some pictures up when you can...

There HAS to be people out there that will adopt a kitty and I think pictures could heighten the desire. My son has been anxious about turning 14 so he can volunteer at the shelter. I thought his desires would fade in time but they haven't and I will say for being so young, he has absorbed so much information about animals. I do think the hardest thing for him will be in the knowing that some, actually many, are put down because they will never find a home.

We will be homing 3 kittens soon. I have to have faith that good homes are out there at this point. My MIL's farm feral is now coming in the house :yikes: (I learned this just started this week) so hopefully they will earn her trust enough to catch her and get her fixed. They don't care that she'll never make a good pet but they certainly want to end her reproducing without killing her. The kittens are about 3 weeks now.

If I wasn't already over-whelmed with critters, I'd take that buff one. Speaking of buff cats, Boxy met Foxy finally, and Foxy is terrified of him LOL All Boxy wants to do is sniff him, and Foxy runs and gets up as high as he can LOL. I'll have to get a picture of that.
