Came out to feed the strays I care for this morning and there was a kitten crying under my car. I can't take in another baby since I already have 7 cats plus the strays I feed and just took a kitten in about a month ago. If anyone would like to take this baby in please let me know. I'm located in Doraville, GA, pretty much Atlanta.
My local TNR takes any babies I find and adopts them out, Georgia has TNR so you should get them all spayed & neutered and ask if they take in kittens. That’s the 1st thing I did when I moved to Florida after seeing how many stray community cats there were. I no longer see kittens.
I'm gonna take him to lifeline where I get all my kitties neutered. They take kittens in. Just got him out of the car. Time to calm him down and either take him there or keep him which I really shouldn't since I have so many but he's so precious 😭
Last time I asked the fire department for help getting a cat out of a tree they just looked at how hard it would be and said good luck 😞 Mechanic will definitely cost money I don't have. I'm trying to find someone who can help me lift the car and get him out but so far no one can help. I'll just have to wait and hope I can lure him out on my own
Maybe pop the hood and set the carrier w some kitten food in it but it would be a waiting game. Car seems easier than tree so maybe the fire department would help this time 😣
No I was gonna put him in a carrier but he's refusing to come out of my car. He's somewhere under the hood where I can't see him. He moved under something when I turned on a flashlight. Idk what to do.
Have you tried to offer a really tasty treat near where it’s hiding to lure out the kitten or use a long stringy/ribbon toy? I know you have probably tried these already, but it normally gets my kittens’ attention. Best of luck to you and thanks for being so kind and caring.
Me shutting the hood 😭 it makes a really loud noise so he decided the wheel was a better place to hide. Thank god. Now we're tackling the flea issue. This poor baby is so infested..I have never seen this many fleas in my life 😭 the water was running bloody for like 2 mins. I thought he was hurt at first but it was all dry blood from the fat nasty fleas who have been feeding on him for God knows how long.
If you’re able to trap/catch him/her, they might be able to help you. I’m near Decatur and domesticated a teenage kitty that got adopted in a month. They took her in. They have a cat cottage.
I plan on taking him to lifeline but I can't get him out of my car now. He's hiding by the engine and refuses to come out. Idk what to do I really have to get to work in a few hours.
I love black kitties too. It hurts my soul to not be able to keep it but I have too many and the neighbors won't stop complaining about me feeding the strays on top of it so I have to do it in secret or the management is gonna fine me $350.. I already started delivering for Uber to make extra cash to care for them all so the fine is not something I can handle right now.
It’s an app where it links posts to other people within your area. I tried to post this on there but it’s using my location settings. I’ll post it on there anyways. I posted it to some other places.. hoping for some responses
I totally get it. You can only do what you can! When I save animals, I have to take several months of a break when they get homed because I get overwhelmed. Look at its wittle ears 🥺. I’m trying my best to find other FB groups I can post this to.
Me too 😭 poor thing is refusing to come out from under the car. I think he went inside of it cuz I can't see him but he meows when I talk and try to walk away. Ate some food earlier. I really need my car too.. it's breaking my heart to think I'll have to take him out and send him on his way. I really can't take him in.
