| I wish 3912 was on the West coast. I have a list of some 30
rescue/adoption services that I "collected" while looking for homes for
two feral kittens born in my yard a short while ago. All I can suggest
is that she do what I did and live on the telephone for a for awhile.
Call as many vets in her area as possible asking for numbers of
adoption and rescue groups; call the rescue groups, if they can't help,
ask for more numbers and suggestions, and above all, BE PERSISTENT!
Just because they say no once doesn't mean that one should stop
calling. Room in a foster home may come available or they may come up
with a prospective owner in time. Take photos, post them at work, vet
offices (plural), and pet stores. Embarrass yourself by asking
everyone that crosses your path if they are interested (screen
them if they are). What helped me the most was making the kittens more
attactive by taking care of they're first shots, blood work, flea bath,
etc.
I didn't find a home for the two kittens until two days before the
deadline (literally) that my landlords had set! Pets-in-Need came up
with the number of a woman looking for a litter mates to break-in her
new home and keep each other company while she was at work and C.A.R.E.
offered to foster them until placed or parted from old age as I'd "put
so much effort and expense, we couldn't possilby refuse".
DON'T GIVE UP YET!!! My kittens are happy, their new mom is happy, and
I'm happy (telephone updates and a visit coming up). Hopefully, with
a little time and perseverance, 3912's situation can be the same.
