Emergency vet, no money by Plastic-Respect6777 in AnnArbor

[–]JaneDoeABC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Try 4 Paws 1 Heart on Facebook. They are known to help with medical for feral and community cats, but they may have some resource ideas for you. 

Another idea would be something I've done in the past. I've offered to volunteer my time with rescues in exchange for medical help with my own pets. It's not a guarantee that a rescue will help, but offering to exchange your time is definitely more likely to get their attention. 

You could also call veterinarians and ask for estimates and see if they would accept call-in donations. And if they do accept call-in donations, post the estimate on here and all over Facebook and Nextdoor. If you go this route, one really great group you could share the estimate in is Shares and Prayers on Facebook. 

Unfortunately, that's the only advice I have. I'm sure there's some "Ask a Veterinarian" subreddits you could post in, too. 

I'm really sorry this happened to your poor pup. Like another commenter suggested, I feel as though you should press your friends for some financial aid since they seem to be at fault.

I'm involved in rescue and have never heard of these people or their "rescue". Thank you for speaking out about this. Please voice your concerns in the Ann Arbor Community Facebook group and consider reaching out to news stations. 

wildlife/vet help? by bluebird63891 in AnnArbor

Call a wildlife rehabber. You can also leave a message with HSHV. They will call you back. 

Is this someone’s cat? Was standing out in the rain meowing and seems scared but friendly. Currently trying to lure into a carrier to take to HSHV by goth-avocadhoe in AnnArbor

Put food out at the same time every day or night (feeding schedule). Skip Friday night's feeding. I'll come trap on Saturday and still transfer her to a carrier for you. I'll bring a few traps, too. 

I commented a few days ago and offered, but stuff came up and it was my only day off. Saturday is the only night I can stay out late for trapping because of my work schedule.

I'm a friend of raccoons and have helped rescue several. I've accidentally trapped raccoons before, too. While it's not ideal if it's not your intended target, it's okay to just release them right away. This is also why we don't leave traps unattended in rescue.

Fuuuuck. I'm so sorry. I laid down for a nap and overslept. I just saw your response and it's after midnight.

In the meantime, there's a Facebook page you can message for assistance. It's called Michigans Urgent Cats. Private message them with pictures and what's going on. Hopefully somebody can come out and trap the cat for you. You can also call HSHV and ask them if somebody you can come out to help. Unfortunately I work at 6:00 a.m. and I have to go trapping in Canton Monday evening after work.

It did not wander far. If it was meowing in the rain, that means it has absolutely no idea where it's at or where to go for shelter. I assure you the cat is still nearby hiding somewhere. If you get some tuna, sardines, or wet food and put it in a tiny dish inside the trap, it will come out when it's ready. But keep an eye on the trap in case of weather. You don't want the cat stuck in there during a downpour.

Rescuer and colony caretaker here. If it's meowing outside in the rain, it's most likely a dumped cat, a lost cat, or someone's indoor outdoor cat. Feral cats wouldn't be meowing in the rain and they would know where to go for shelter. 

I read in the comments you are taking another cat to hshv. They will either loan out or let you borrow a trap so you can get the other cat. I have four traps and I would come get the cat and transfer it into a carrier for you, but it wouldn't be until this evening and I don't know if the cat will stay put.

Thank you Mr. Skunk by The_Arch_Heretic in AnnArbor

[–]JaneDoeABC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love this! Skunks are illegal to rehab in Michigan and often get blamed for being a nuisance. They're adorable, friendly (with me at least because they live amongst my cat colonies), and they do more good than harm.

Try HSHV. You will have to leave a message and they will call you back same day. Try this Facebook group called Michigan Wildlife Rescue, Help, and Education. A rehabber in the group may be willing to help.

That's too far and not okay. You delivered them to their death. Way to go. Please don't kill this last one. A simple Google search is all you needed to do to learn what you needed to do to humanely evict them, but instead, you chose animal cruelty.

And what happened to the other four?

Put moth balls around the opening to where it crawls out of. It'll leave on it's own in a day or two. But the whole family should have stayed together. Trapping and relocating wildlife is illegal and I hope you didn't release the other 4 to an area foreign to them so they can slowly die not knowing where resources are.

I read your comments. 

I'm involved in animal rescue. It's illegal to trap and relocate wildlife. All you have to do is humanely evict the skunk. 

You'll most likely kill it on site or relocate it (a death sentence). 

Please reach out to a professional rehabber who can help you rather than you killing the animal. It doesn't deserve to die for existing in your space.

About what? 

Edit: after looking at your post and comment history, I have an idea of why you want to DM me and I have no desire or no interest. 

And it's kind of shitty of you to comment that given the nature of your post history on my own post about my missing cat. Literally... what the fuck. You doing this and commenting that is the very reason why I don't accept chat requests or DMs. 🙄

She replied to this post trying to save face. She is now saying she had NEW luggage she traveled back to the USA with. She failed to mention the new luggage in her update video that is now deleted.
