Find a box. make small holes in said box. Put cats in box. Place the box on the door step of Humane Society with a $40 donation taped to the box.

Or give them to my friends house down the road. His wife can't say NO and it makes him really mad and makes me laugh. They have 4 cats, 4 dogs, a huge fish tank and she feeds the neighborhood raccoons and opossums almost daily.

Drop at the nearest Chinese restaurant.

Go see (or call) Debbie or Donna at Westwood Animal Hospital (it is in Brownsburg), they can get you in contact with a qualified rescue organization.

I'm sorry you have to give up your cats. That makes me sad.

Out of curiosity (I'm not familiar with animal shelter practices), why wouldn't they take your cats, mrproc?

Sorry to hear you have to give them up. I wish I could help but we already have a small herd of rescued kitties. Good luck.

Times like these make me wish our house wasn't already at maximum feline capacity.

One of DoggyMama's friends wanted us to take one in (a stray that her daughter and son-inlaw have been feeding), and they said they had run into the same thing. There is an overabundance of stray cats, but also I wonder if the recent virus (can't remember the name right now) that had affected the cat population of one shelter might have played into it too. They were told by every shelter they called that if they brought the cat in, it would be euthanized automatically.

Here in Indy its a definite issue. The virus is panleukopenia, and its HIGHLY contagious and is usally fatal in cats. ICC just recently had to foster out all of their cats and euthanize more so they could decontaminate the shelter to keep it from spreading. I have to assume other shelters are dealing with the same thing.

Yes, that's it. Thanks!

Oh yeah...I think I remember hearing of that disease (but I wouldn't have been able to guess the name if I had to). That's a shame.

I would, but we just took in another INGO Feline Rescue this past summer and he and the dogs are still warming up to each other. I don't think I could add another stressor to him at this moment. McGrease, if you're reading, he's doing great. Plus, my stupid younger dog thinks cats are toys, a sentiment they rarely share. Until she gets older and more boring, adding anything but kittens who are up to her neuroticism would be cruel and unusual to the felines.

Good to hear.

I can't take that many, wish you'd have had this happen a year ago. I would have taken them all back then I had none.

I pray yur kitties find a good home though, I know how happy mine make me.

Anyone who's tried to do the "right thing" with cats knows what a dead end option shelters are.
We tried this more than once with strays that showed up around our place.

For example, the Human Society gave us an "appointment" 6 weeks in the future to bring a kitten in that showed up at our house.

Oh, so we're supposed to house and feed a cat for 6 weeks that just showed up at our house, with the hopes we'll become attached to it and not bring it in?
NOT LIKELY.

What I've done is to begin by INSISTING that nobody in the house feed or water them, so they at least move on.
I suspect that the coyotes around our area end up eating many of them.

Not to sound cold, but it beats being forced to even consider dumping them somewhere else or putting them down.

As my wife says "The inn is full" and "The next thing to live in this house is a human child."

 

[mrproc1]

Thank you all for your response... I am reading as they come in.
Still no solid leads

Try here, this is where we adopted our kitten almost two years ago.
