Kitty saga continues

[chchchia]

Aw, here's hoping!

[bonnie]

What a roller-coaster of emotions. I hope you have an answer either way soon!

[Deleted]

I'm hoping for you!! I had a similar situation with a dog I hit with my car in November ans the owners on the microchip declined to take him back. It was dramatic a few days later when they changed their mind and went psycho on me but in the end we kept him and it's worked out. I hope you have the same outcome!

[compassrose]

You did the right thing. ((hugs)) Hopefully they either won't call or will be the nicest people who have been missing the kitty for a while and going crazy.

[aussiecrush]

Fingers and toes crossed. I think two days is fair, if you hear anything by Wednesday you'd still have time to get her meds before the weekend. If there's an owner dearly missing their cat they screw around.

How long would be reasonable for me to wait for this person to call me back? She does have an ear infection that needs to be treated this week. I cant afford to do it for a cat i dont own. :/ i tried looking up the laws and theyre not clear with animals. it's more personal property like a wallet or something.

With the dog I hit the vet actually had a compassion fund that they used to treat him with since he had extensive injuries from an animal attack prior to me finding him. Maybe call around?

I hope you are able to keep her.

I think 2 days is fair. If I was missing my pet, I'd be on the phone as soon as I heard from them. Two days gives them the benefit of the doubt.

[sapphireblue]

I'm so sorry. However, it was the right thing to do to call. Maybe they love her dearly and she's been missing for a while.

I have a cat that I thought was a stray because she was ALWAYS at my house, and hungry. It turned out she had owners around the corner, but their other cat hated her and kept driving her out of the house. They agreed that I could keep her.

So maybe it will still work out?

It would be rather unfortunate if kitty got "out" and you didn't know where he went.

This was my first thought.

[birdistheword]

I really hope you get to keep her. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Muddled]

You are good people, Smace.

[chchchia]

Turner your ringer off for a few days.
I would be so torn about this as well, I feel for you and I hope she stays in loving arms.

[grayskies]

I'm sorry Smace. I really hope you are able to keep the kitty!!

[riffraff]

I might call the humane society they usually have discounted if not free treatment for animals you've found. ( at least the one in tampa did)

This, I'd be heartbroken if my cat was missing. You did the right thing.

SMACE I hope for your sake you all get to keep the cat.

[rachers]

Aww that is really tough but you did the right thing. I hope it works out for you and kitty.

Not really. Lol. Im following the rules very unhappily. Lol.

That doesn't matter. You're still doing it even though it's difficult.
I hope it works out in your favor

[sydney02]

you did the right thing calling. But there are so many times that an owners will give up their pet if they know that it's going to a good home. I saw this working for a veterinarian. How many times you'd comment on how sweet a dog or cat was and they'd say, "You want him?" Really awkward. But anyway, it's possible if you tell them you love the kitty so much they'll let you keep him.

I've really got my fingers crossed for you!

[candyland]

I am hoping they don't reach the owner. You are a great person and the cat will not find a better home!

This cat is perfect. I love stuffy stuff taco chip!

[candyland]

Awe! Hi Stuffy Stuff!

[Deleted]

OMG at that kitty face. I can see why this is so tough. I'd hide the kitty forever. "No, previous owners, I don't have the kitty anymore. Kitty got out and I don't know where he went."

Maybe.

Probably.

[candyland]

Well, you instantly crushed on her...so I like this name!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I love her mustache! I'd call her Frida Kahlo

[Deleted]

Doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing, is it? You'll be glad you tried everything you could once she is cuddled in your lap. Permanently!

[candyland]

My dog's name was Moose when we adopted him...Um no! He didn't seem to care that we changed his name to something more fitting.
She doesn't look like Athena. She is gorgeous!

[Deleted]

I had an Athena once. She didn't look like Stuffy Stuff Taco Chip King Crush.

There was no point to that story.
