Stray Pregnant Cat needs a foster

[ICit]

Is that faint sound I hear my stalker alarm about to activate again? I better go to the bathroom first, just incase it dedinates when I least expect.

... we have not woke up from our drunk yet

.. you should know how that goes!!

I was contacted by someone wanting to foster the Momma cat and care for her and the kittens. They said they can assist in finding adoptive homes. I am sure we can work out a way to be sure they are ALL fixed before they go to their new homes so we can avert any future births, and get the Momma fixed/placed too.

I've had several concerned people PM me about her. Since there is someone willing to foster her, and we can be sure to get all involved fixed, I think we should let this happen, especially if she is late term as I suspect she is.

It's a reversion back to the original post, but it's possible the lady saw this thread and wasn't going to release her to me if she thought I might have the kittens aborted. She needs help for the cat. I have contacted her with the information about a foster found and I will put them in touch with each other.

I wish I was financially able to do more than I can now. You've done great to help them, but you know that. It's heartbreaking to know the truth about all the deaths weekly at the shelter. Unless the general public comes to understand how bad it is, and cares enough to help reduce the problem, it may never change.

AND thats why this person who doesnt want the cat spayed now needs to understand.

I think it would open their eyes when they are there and see how many healthy animals die for no reason.... and HOW they die. ......

I know, I agree with you, and I know the right thing to do is to stop the new ones. Just like the vet that won't do late term and then there's the one that will. Everyone doesn't see it the same way, and sometimes I feel stuck in the middle of what I know I should do, and what others see as their side of the situation.

I have assisted in late term Spays, and it is so sad to see the little babes in their pouch. Luckily, I never saw one move, or I would have lost it. It is sad, but what gets to me is people can get free, or discount Spays & Neuters, at least here in Calvert.

this is YOUR post .....

ok I called HS and they said the vet that works on Fridays won't do late term spays but the vet that works M-Th will. So I will assume she is pretty far along because the lady told me she seems to be getting bigger by the day.

I'll try to get her today for Thursday at HS or in time for Monday. I agree - glad I posted this so you all could help me figure this out. We don't need anymore kittens to try and place. There are plenty that will be at the shelters.


GO TO THE VET THAT WILL DO IT..... AND GET IT DONE!

I guess I have a hard time with this type of decision. I know the right thing to do is to stop the birthing process before it starts. This whole thread certainly shows all who are reading it just hard it can be on all involved.

New ones born into an already over-populated world just means that at some point down the road, some of those that are born will end up being put down at the shelter too.

I am by far NOT a pro-abortion person, but I feel you will be opening up a can of worms if you don't go through with this for this particular situation.

oh dont worry... she will have the can of worms open....


.... and if the person that DOES have the cat is reading this... go ahead.. keep the cat... let the cat have the kittens.... (and let me add how effing expensive it is)... and enjoy getting kicked the eff out because you think you can handle this on your own... and feel this is the right thing to do.

and if a kitten dies.. whatcha gonna do then.. toss it in the trash... whatcha gonna do if the get sick.... cuz im guessing you dont have the money to treat a sick cat... so it will die....


what ever.... when i find back bones... I will get several of them.... for those who need it Im not giving up mine!!!

My wife and I offered to take mom,pregnant and all and to take her immediately. I sent a PM and got a few messages essentially saying "I'll let you know later" and then nothing. So the help is there,but it isn't being taken.

I am waiting to hear back from the lady who has the cat, so I apologize for the delay.

My point was more that this person(not you)who is acting,emphasis on the word acting,like they need help in fact isn't willing to take it when it is there. This whole situation arose from her needing the cat gone asap because of her landlord and yet we've both been waiting all day to get a straight answer. Honestly,I'm trying to offer help to the animal and that is the only reason why I am even saying anything,if it was for her personally I'd say f it.

I understand. The back and forth I've had with her has gone on for 2 days now via FaceBook.

PS - she was messaging me via FB so I don't even have her email address at this point.

Initially my first thought was "foster". Then realized after being "re-focused" by the realists, that I needed to get her spayed immediately. There IS NO MORE ROOM FOR CATS, yes I know, I do know. We have a handful of cats in our foster program that are still awaiting homes.

When I received an offer to foster her (the initial goal of the thread), I was honest and told the lady who has the stray cat that I had an offer as a foster, and I would put them in touch with each other. I will never be anything less than honest with people about the state of the world with regard to critters (this stance could make ours a less successful rescue?). I also wouldn't lie to anyone either. Maybe I should, but I just can't.

I think some may be misunderstanding, I do have a back bone, I just won't lie to a lady with a pregnant cat, and say the cat will be fostered and the kittens will be fine, when that may not be the case. I can't lie to promote my goal of fewer critters. However if the critter is in my control, I can and will consent to spay when pregnant, and I have done so in the past, at the distress of others around me. When I got the call that the cat is pregnant, I ALWAYS said go forward. When asked in advance my position on aborting litters, I always said yes.

It's not that I'm not committed to aborting litters, it's that the person with the cat asked for help for the pregnant cat. Instead of just saying "we'll take her", my response was we'll see if we can find a foster (dumb I admit), but I won't go back on my word to her.

Poor Kitteh

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?
