Kitten for adoption

[tropicalkaren]

I found a 4-5 month old grey tabby kitten at Colony Plaza today and s/he is now on my lanai. He was lying in front of one of the stores at Colony and is extremely affectionate, which is why I brought him home figuring that Pet Lover's Rescue would take him. Unfortuately, they don't have room for him, nor does Wildwood cat ranch.

My husband is very allergic and so we cannot bring him inside our home. I would hate to have to bring him back to Colony where he would no doubt get hit by a car. Anyone????

Thanks,

Karen

Try:
Sumter Humane Society (352) 793-9117
Marion Humane Society (352) 873-7387
Maxine's Pet Connection 352-669-2855

Or call a local vet office to see if you could drop there for a shelter to pick up...maybe Paws.

Try to keep her warm till Monday

Let's keep the post alive and maybe someone will read it and have room for the little critter. :bigbow: for not ignoring him and bringing him to safety.

[tropicalkaren]

I have received no help from all the local shelters, all who say they are full. Tomorrow I will call Paws Animal Hospital to see if I pay for him to be neutered and immunized that they might be able to get him adopted out. This kitten even uses the kitty litter. I wonder if he was abandoned from someone's home rather than being feral.

Little homeless guys do grow on you. My wife and I always had two non-shedding dogs. When we rescued our kitties from a no chance of survival situation, my wife, who was extremely allergic to cat dander, contacted a wonderful allergist. After testing, and treatment, she no longer has problems with our guys, it was worth the testing and treatment. Not saying this is an option for you, but just wanted you to know what worked for us.:smiley: The vet trip should increase their chances for a home. You are doing great things!

He doesn't sound like a feral cat to me and we have fed many feral cats.

Keep us up to date on his progress.....

I have a friend who has a horse rescue farm in Weirsdale and he rescued almost all the kittens that were born outside of Havana CC. I'm returning to TV next week, and I'm sure he will take him for you. give me a few days after I return to coordinate this. if you will, remind me with a PM in case I forget. thanks.

[tropicalkaren]

Thanks so much! I am bringing him to the Vet today to have immunizations done. Will have him neutered in the next couple of days.

This is not a feral cat. He uses the litter box and would make someone a loving pet. I am still hoping for a home for him, but the horse farm would be a great last resort. Please contact me when you get back.

I would love to keep him, but my husband has asthma along with cat allergies and we just cannot.:ohdear:

I tried to get a photo of the kitten here but couldn't.

So I took him to the vet today. He is actually 10 months old based on his teeth and weighs 10 lbs. He is feline leukemia negative. He will be neutered tomorrow (Tues.), immunized, and treated for ear mites and fleas but he is otherwise very healthy. They feel he is not a feral cat but probably had an owner early on as he is litter trained and friendly. He fell asleep on the vet's scale while we waited to be seen. He was purring and very relaxed and will definitely be a lap cat.

Anyway, I will call more places tomorrow to try to get him placed. I really don't think he will make it in the long run if he is left free but I am running out of places to try.

I have a lap cat and they make wonderful pets. The fact that the kitten is free and immunized and defleaed is a great bargain for anyone seeking a buddy. Hope he gets a very good home. And btw, you are a saint for taking care of this kitty and also for trying to find him a home.

[KARENNN]

Is it the white cat with tan tail staying at Paws? Very very cute if it is!

[KEVIN & JOSIE]

Keep the post alive until he finds a home...it worked several weeks back for another kitty.

[duffysmom]

TropicalKaren I've attached a post that gives very easy instructions about posting a picture. I used it and it WORKS!!!

Tropical Karen:

Any new news about a home for the kitten you found?

That kitten has a neurological problem and will need a special home, Karen.

I agree, thank you for taking the time to do this. You are a very special person.

TropicalKaren, how did kitty's surgery go? Did you find someone to adopt him?

I wish I had room at the Inn! :(

[KEVIN & JOSIE]

Keepin this alive until he finds his home....:pray:

[tropicalkaren]

The white cat at Paws animal hospital is a different one from this cat. They have had that cat since it was a kitten and still have no home for it.

[tropicalkaren]

So here's an update on the cat I found. First of all, he is older than I thought. Based on his teeth, he is between 10 and 12 months old. He has been neutered, immunized, wormed, flea'd, tested for heartworm and feline leukemia (both negative). He is a grey tabby cat.

The Daily Sun did a story on him (they interviewed me by phone) which may run tomorrow (Tuesday, 2/7):clap2: or soon after, which will include a photo.

At the present time, the cat is at Petco. He will be available for adoption for another 4 days and then, if not adopted he will be fostered by Barbara Irwin of Pet Rescue.

As an aside, the Vet Tech at Paws named him....because he was a whole male she called him Tom. Then because I found him outside of Beef O'Brady's, his full name is....wait for it.....Tom Brady. I love it!

In fhat case, I guess his nickname could be QB!
I wish I could take him, but I already have 2 very territorial cats. Wouldn't work out.

I love it!Tom Brady? OMG, half of any potential adaptors are alread alienated from any possibility of adopting him! :22yikes:

Seriously, I do hope he finds a loving home soon. When I hear stories like this and the poor little white puddy-tat at Paws, it carves a little peice of my heart away. As I said previously, I wish I had room at the Inn! http://www.adhdnews.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif

You saved him from life on the streets...good work...KUDOS!:bigbow:

[tropicalkaren]

Thanks but I won't be happy until he has a forever home.

[tropicalkaren]

Great news! As most of you know, after finding and fostering Tom Brady for a week and not finding a rescue to take him, good luck struck. Barbara Irwin of Pet Rescue, who didn't have an opening for him, somehow adopted out 7 cats in one week and took him. I called her today and she said he has been adopted by a man in Orange Blossom, whose cat passed away and who really wanted him. Barbara said, "you know, he is a really nice cat" (yes, I knew that and would have kept him if I could). So Tom Brady has his forever home and I am so happy. Thanks to all of you for your help and support.:MOJE_whot:

Great news, tropicalkaren! You did a good job. And Barbara Irwin is terrific also.
