Rehabilitator found a home for two of the litter and will keep the female if no one is right for her. She decided it was too much trouble to send her up my direction and likes the kitten enough to keep her forever if needed.
Update: No one is panning out. Either the kitten is not eligible, the wildlife rehabillitator isn't a 503c or I'm not eligible since I'm not a rescue. Sigh. Unless I can find someone in the next few weeks, I guess this kitten is going to have to hope for another person willing to adopt...
update:
Might have a possible contact through a friend of a friend. I hadn't realized how many people are afraid of doing this because they are worried about smuggling. Geesh, I hadn't even thought of that. I guess the world really has changed. Suspicion is everywhere. Keep your fingers crossed
Well, waiting to hear if the bird wildlife rehabber is also registered as a cat rescue. If she is, I might have a chance. If she isn't I'm back to just finding an individual who I can pay to carryon the kitten.
Time, just time. If I wait a month or two, she probably will be strong enough to deal with anything but that's not fair to the kitten or the wildlife rehab person.
Not so far. It’s frustrating. I’ve been busy on Facebook and trying groups but she doesn’t fit most of the groups parameters. I didn’t think it would be this difficult.
Thanks for the tip, they apparently are for cargo. I need to find someone flying already that will take her. Between the wildlife person and myself, I can get her to and from the airport.
Why, oh why, did the company put white fabric on a dark colored shelf? what have you folks found to be good quality, good looking and NOT white shelves?
thank you for the reference. So far I have not had much luck. the wildlife rehabilitator agrees that she should be flown carryon not cargo and not go on a 3 day car ride. She's not eligible for many of the groups because she is too young (7 1/2 weeks we think) and she is not yet in shape that...
Anyone traveling by American or Delta airlines in the next few weeks that would be willing to have a rescue kitten as their carry on? Kitten has slightly injured paw and is just barely old enough to be flying. It would be better for her healthwise to be in the cabin rather than in cargo...
