Home Depot Kitty

I'm discovering that most programs here are either totally overwhelmed or mostly disorganized. Waiting to hear back from a number of phone calls and emails! At the very least the boy will go Sunday to get a check up and shots. Hoping to get him in by the beginning of next week to get snipped!

$145!

Just finished a love/play fest with HD kitty... he's just SUCH a cool cat... video tomorrow :)

$95 dollars ain just a couple of hours? Amazing. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed and beyond that... everyone who may not be able to donate but at least took the time to read about Home Depot :)

The little man just had dinner and has started to hang out outside of his box... I put a few pillows out for him and he seems to know just how damn cute he looks sitting on them :)

Annoying note.. obviously I'm a rookie at this and while it is the easiest way to get this story across and gather donations I forgot that Paypal charges fees for this :( I've added ten dollars to the end target to compensate for this...

Thank you again to everyone for their help and emails... off to visit with the man :)

The day before Thanksgiving I went to Home Depot topick up a fewthings and left with a cat. Arg. Employees were trying tofindsomeone who could take the sweet boy home as they were going tohave tocall Animal Control. He's a beautiful little man and he has doneanamazing job adjusting to life in my laundry room :)

I have noearthly idea what I'm going to do with him as we are really maxed outwith the care and feeding of 4 cats and a dog on a very limitedbudget.. and there is no room for him at local rescues and his chancesat Animal Control are slim.

Something about the little man spoketo us and so Evan's Mom and I sent Evan home to get a carrier. He isnot fixed and judging from the condition of his coat, skin and nerveshe had been on his own for a while. HE is terribly terribly sweetthough. Even a nervous as he was you can tell he desperately wants togive and receive good lovin'. I've spent the morning looking into lowcost alternatives to get the man fixed and vetted, while there are acouple of good choices it seems even low cost is going to go wellbeyond what we can afford. So.... I'm reaching out for a little help.I'm estimating at this point with neutering, FeLV.FIV testing, andvaccines, along with food and litter costs it will cost me about $200to keep the boy until I can find him the perfect home. This cat isgoing to make someone VERY happy. I just need a little help gettingthere.

Thank you for reading this. If you can.. please donate.Seriously even a dollar or two will make a HUGE difference. Anything Ido not spend on Home Depot (the cat) will be donated to First Coast/No More Homeless Pets. Read about them and what they do at.. http://www.fcnmhp.org/index.htm

Gave HD Advantage and Iterceptor tonight. This is day3 here and his stool is still pretty soft and has traces of blood init. He is eating and drinking well and using the litter box like achamp :)

He may be one of the friendliest cats I've everexperienced... he loves to be pet... everywhere... loves head buttingand hugging your arm. He's quite the talker too... HE did SO wellthis weekend with all of the commotion of the family invading... hungout with Tom and Kira no problem... never hissed or anything!

He'shappy when he has something or someplace to hide in. The box in thelaundry room is doing the trick. He spent the better part of theafternoon looking out the window. Maybe getting a little restless?

Ilooked in to a couple of options for neutering and vetting. May haveto look into getting help to get the boy fixed. Started a chip in pagebut haven't had a chance to do anything with it. I feel strangereaching out for help but this man deserves it for sure.

Oh and... talked to a woman at S.A.F.E. no room for the man... same with Goliath and Bebe's rescue... frick.
