Here's the drill:

I got a friend of mine a kitten for her birthday.

Unfortunately, she can't afford it.

So...

Anyone up for a road trip to Baton Rouge for a cat?
---
Specifics:

It's well fed--well, it looks that way
8 week old male
Two shots--needs two more, with a shot record and vetrinarian card to call
---
Please guys, any help will do. I'm also willing to make road trips if I need to.

If she doesn't have any luck finding a home for it, check in the net for no-kill shelters in the area. I'm sure there's at least one. Good luck!

How much does it cost to Fed Ex a kitten?

you might have been joking, but my neighbor once had a puppy UPSed. If this kitten were closer I would be interested, not that I need a kitten or anything but...

This is kitten season, unfortunately. A friend of mine at work is trying to find homes for a litter of kittens whose mother gave birth to them in his neighbor's shed. The neighbor dislikes cats, and my friend's pleading, along with his efforts to find them a home as soon as they can be taken from their mother (they're a month old, so probably in about another month or so) have kept her from trying to kill them with rat poison. [Mad]

Luckily, he's actually having some luck in finding takers. If he can't find others to take them, my wife and I will be adopting some more cats, I'm afraid. Our current cat isn't going to like that too much.

Heh - pay for the gas and I'll be happy to drive from Atlanta to Baton Rouge and then on to wherever to hand-deliver the kitten.

A road trip might not be a bad way to waste a couple of days.

Or I could feed it to a dog, because dogs rock.

Unfortunately, I already have a cat that I will probably have to have back-declawed soon. She's already front-declawed, but the apartment complex I've applied for requires complete declawing. (Sorry Comet.)

I even considered finding a home for her so I wouldn't have to do this to her, but my daughter Cayla wants so bad to keep her. I'm torn.

Hehe. I might give it to a friend's mother. We'll see, we'll see.

Too bad I'm alergic, I could keep it. I'll bet he'd get along great with my huge weimaraner Grace.

Re: "Red Fern":

I don't know how the pups got to the station, but I know Billy walked there on barefoot to pick them up, and carried them home in a gunny sack with two holes cut in it.

Maybe they did...if I remember correctly (ha ha) they were playing around a wooden crate when he picked them up?

(the scene - The Tick and Arthur sneak into an Evil hideout)

The Forehead wonders, "Wait a second - something smells fishy here. I don't think you guys are villains!"

The Tick responds, "Oh no, We're - we're bad."

Arthur: "Oh yeah, the worst!"

"OK, if you guys are so evil, why don't you just... EAT THIS KITTEN!" Forehead yells, pulling a cat out of nowhere.

Tick: "What? No way, Mister! That's just wrong!"

The Tick, picking up the kitten by the scruff of it's neck in his teeth, says, "We'll take that kitten, you wretch! How dare you! I knew evil was bad, but eating kitten is just plain, plain wrong! And NO ONE should do it, EVER!

Sorry, it seemed appropriate.

You can ship animals. I mean, you can't just drop them in the slot at the post office, but you can certainly ship them. Ask AJ - I know that breeders often do that, because top breeders may have buyers for their pups from all over the world.

Sorry, Trevor, but my roommate snatched the cat up. She's keeping it at her boyfriend's house.

Lesson learned: Don't take free stuff without talking to people first. [No No]

Snicker - I didn't take any free stuff. I was just volunteering to play chauffer. [Big Grin]

I'm glad the kitten has a good home.

Not the kind of kitten I care to poker, but to each their own.
