In reply to the discussion: Hey Cat-Savvy Du'ers -- For the Love of a Cat named Nikita -- a continuation (Part 3) UPDATE [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)They turned 8 weeks old yesterday. I am hoping it can be done a little earlier, but I do not know if 14 is absolutely the safest age. I am going to try to adopt them out, finding good homes, and I want to make sure they have everything they need before they leave here. But the way they are growing just in the last few days is startling. I can't imagine the 5 of them staying in that room another 6 weeks.
But I also want them to have all the shots they need and to be tested for HIV, as well as given a treatment for fleas.
Then when I have all the information intact, I am going to start a fundraiser to see if I can get enough money. I have already taken Nikita, and I estimate it will cost about $320 for all of them. I already have one pledge and two people who have offered to contribute so I think I would have to raise about $150 - $200, depending on what the hospital says. Also the person who trapped them said I should ask for the rescue rate since I did rescue Nikita who was pregnant at the time. So we will see when they call me back.
They are all beautiful, and they now know their names. I go in play with them and they are getting to know me. I need to get a couple more human beings to hang out with them so when the time comes, they will not be shy.
Rest assured, I am working my posterior off on this and I hope to be finished soon so I can resume working on making a living in order to keep a roof over Nikita's and Cheyenne's heads!!!
Thanks for posting on my thread and keeping it kicked for exposure. You will hear more from me when I get the rest of the info I need. And thank you for caring.
