KITTY NEEDS TO BE ADOPTED / RESCUED !!! Long Island, NY

[Para]

Throw in a bunch of repros and I'll take it

Sounds like it's time for the other people in your household need to be put to sleep.

There's also the other matter of the house cat we already have. We can't very well take one of these cats in until they are treated and wont get the house cat sick. There's also the fact that the current house cat is small and has small cat syndrome. She doesn't like other cats to be around, she ends up hiding all the time and not eating as much. Taking in one cat might be a risk, taking in both would definitely harm the house cat's health.

Awwwww... poor kitty.

Doesn't sound much like FPV. Symptom wise that is basically the cat vomiting until it dies.

Lol, well there's no shipping on the kitty. Pick up only.

Kitty bump!

Someone grab the cat! I have a cat, a dachshund and a pug. All get along well, so I was worried when my daughter picked up another cat stray. The dogs only took a day, but the cats took about five days to settle down. Older cat had a frizzied fat racoon tail for the first three days. We named the cats Tammy and Tommy, a boy and girl. Animals do have personalities, I think older cat was pissed at sharing the food and the litter box with another.

@ Ziggy - Maybe another cat will be good for the cat you already own. Now my cats and dogs are the best buds, they get a good workout wrestling each other in the house. The dachsund will literally grab the cat's throat gently and twirl her around. The cat in turn leaps on the dog's back, with pug refereeing. Now there are flying cats in the house from all their leaping. My cats are strictly indoor cats for protection, older cat is losing weight now due to the cat workout.

I don't know. Cats seem to fit pretty well in boxes.

Cats are cool but I'm alergic to them. =/

Awwwwww!

Out of curiosity, why can't you take the kitty in?

There's a feral cat... situation where I live. I would honestly love to take it in, it's an awesome cat. But it's not that simple. There's another older stray that has also warmed up to us, we're gonna try and take him in. The problem is that some people in the household don't feel the same way. We're gonna try and come to an agreement and take the older cat in, I figure it'll be easier to get the kitten adopted. There's no way we can take in both, though I honestly wouldn't mind that at all. This whole feral cat situation is actually putting a strain on my household.

Sorry, I forgot to post contact info in the other thread. Anyway, here's the contact page on the shelter's website.

Thanks for the info, man, it's appreciated. I figure I'll try my best to find this kitten a home on my own first before I resort to shelters. The shelters always seemed strained, filled to capacity, I figure it'll be best for every one if I can find it a home this way.

As it is, I gotta call up the Brookhaven Animal Shelter and try and get them to come pick up another stray that's sick.

Yeah, unfortunately it's a HUGE problem on Long Island dude. My wife volunteeered for P.A.W.S. and we fostered a lot of kittens to socialize them and adopt them out. We stopped doing this like 2 years ago though due to the funding ran out or something like that. I think PAWS is back again though so you can try there too man, but I have a feeling though being that it's a kitten that someone will want it from the flyers you posted. I will actually be seeing that friend I was referring to over the weekend and I'll see if she has any room, she lives out in Shirley and I'll let you know as soon as I can. I can ask around at my job too if that helps?

[Ziggy]

I live right by Shirley, so that would be great!
