Repost from BHB - Please - Help - Anyone who knows about cats!

There has been a family of cats (we think) in our neighborhood for months now turning over garbage cans, etc. Well tonight, with all this rain, we have the windows open with just the screens and I hear crying outside.

FH goes outside, and its a tiny little kitten (he says - I haven't seen it, and I am actually afraid of cats). My heart is breaking. What can we do? Should we try to capture it? Where would we bring it? We don't even have anything to capture it with! Aside from that we have a puppy at home that is allergic to everything. It woud definitely need to go to a vet immediately right?

Please - if anyone knows of someone I can call please let me know! FH is looking for a flashlight right now. At this point I am ready to adopt it because I can't bear to hear a living thing crying!

Where do you live??

I know someone who could help you trap the adult cats and get them spayed.


Please take the kitten to a no kill shelter.

Fm for any help.

GREAT NEWS!!

FH and I came home today from work and my neighbor was outside. She's been away for the past couple of weeks. I told her about the cats (she knows about them too because of thegarbage can thing), and about last night, and how we were going to just call the numbers from 311. She said she will take them!!!

She's got 2 dogs already (one was a rescued stray), and her cat passed away recently. She had mentioned over the summer that she might take them in, but now she said she would definitely do it! We brought the crate over and told her she can keep it and she is going to put food out to lure them tonight! She said she usually keeps a bowl out there for them anyway, but I guess since she's been away they've been roaming around looking.

Thank you all sooo much, for helping, for offering to take them in, and for the words of encouragement!! I am so glad that I don't have to call those numbers. I'm ashamed to admit that I never heard of a kill shelter before last night.
