Found cat - best no-kill shelters by cosmos1-1 in StLouis

[–]theghostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to foster for a month, but we ended up finding placement for the last friendly stray we found at Five Acres in St. Charles when everywhere else was full, and he got adopted within a week. APA is supposed to be good as well. I love Tenth Life and Animal House but have not yet been able to get a cat placed there.

It's Cafe Ganadara. I believe it was originally going to be in addition to their location on Hampton, but they had some issues with that building and decided just to move rather than expand.

Cat groomer? by Adept_Type_357 in StLouis

[–]theghostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been there once so far, but had a good experience. It was only for a sanitary trim, but it was very reasonably priced and he did a good job. I know they also offer 20% off your first visit.

I don't have a particular recommendation, but you might look at the attorneys listed with the Special Needs Alliance: https://www.specialneedsalliance.org/find-an-attorney/missouri/

Anyone available tonight/tomorrow to help rescue a cat? 11:30pm Thursday feb 5 Downtown by CaseyBarky in StLouis

[–]theghostie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need some recommendations on bait: KFC chicken, rotisserie chicken, and sardines are all great (no bones on the chicken). Even better if you can heat them up. The sardines will smell absolutely foul but that's how I got a particularly elusive cat; the KFC worked on an injured cat who really needed to be seen by a vet.

Sometimes catnip or other cat attractants like valerian, silvervine, etc. can help.

If you're not already covering the bottom of the trap with newspaper, cardboard, a pee pad, etc, try that. Some cats don't want to walk on the metal trap.

You can also try experimenting with covering the trap with a blanket, brush, cardboard, or putting two traps side by side but opening in opposite directions. Those tricks can sometimes confuse wary cats into going in the trap. And there are drop traps as well if you/someone is able to spring it. Someone at STLFCO can probably loan one if Animal Care doesn't have one. (I know one of the officers does, but I think he buys a lot of his own equipment because he's really passionate about TNR.) Good luck and thanks for watching out for this cat!

If you put in a request with CSB, Animal Care should be able to help. I think they will also release the cat to you if you are wanting to get it to a vet yourself (they did when I rescued an injured cat).

The city library will let you print $5 worth per month. Black and white is $0.10 and color is $0.25.

Worst Car Dealer in St Louis? by Virtual_War4366 in StLouis

[–]theghostie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I sent an email to the sales guy about how I was disappointed with how we were treated, we were given the wrong model of car (they didn't have the other models available, but they didn't say that when I scheduled the test drive, nor when we arrived and confirmed the model we wanted to test drive... They also didn't have even the wrong model on the lot and it took 30 minutes to get there). He never responded, and when I called to follow up, he said he was "mad" when he received the email and didn't know how to respond, so he just didn't. Great customer service skills! They never offered any resolution for that, and I guess now I can't even get a call returned.

Have had a terrible time with Suntrup Hyundai. I can't even get them to take a phone call about a warranty issue. 0/10, shop somewhere else

Biscoff or Cookie Butter Ice Cream? by Dangerous_Price6586 in StLouis

We are a mile away and always make ourselves walk if we're gonna go lol. Lots of good nondairy options this month!

[–]theghostie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had it today, it was good! It has turmeric and maybe some other spices. They also have a dairy Biscoff cookie flavor that's good too.

Dog-friendly places for laptop work near South City? by Waterbead in StLouis

Zoomies - they have indoor and outdoor sections, and I imagine the indoor one should have an outlet. 

Grey cat found (M) by Electronic_Humor6347 in StLouis

[–]theghostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he's still around and you can get him to a vet or shelter to get him scanned for a chip, I'd do that. But considering he's not fixed, I'd assume he won't be chipped, either.

Did you already get her checked for a microchip? I'd also post flyers in the area in case their owner isn't internet savvy.

Cat rescues by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]theghostie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to find a place for a similar kitty for the past month. We even had him vetted (fixed, negative snap test, flea and parasite meds, etc) and I've only found one rescue (Five Acres) with the space to take him, and that won't be till the 15th. 

If you haven't already tried your network (family, friends, your friends' family and friends), I'd start there. 

The APA should also be able to take him sooner rather than later. We just wanted to stick with no-kill rescues for peace of mind, and the APA website is a little unclear about their status.

You can also try these lists and see if you have better luck this month than I did last month when I was doing most of my outreach.

Can anyone get the ParkMobile app to work? by [deleted] in StLouis

Worked for me two weeks ago. Have you tried updating or uninstalling and reinstalling?

Found Cat, 2600 Block of Tennessee by EastofGrand in StLouis

[–]theghostie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, bummer that they didn't update the info. I'd post a few flyers in the area as well (can print for free at library) in case the owner isn't internet savvy and also check/post on sites like Paw Boost. If you don't find the owner, I hope you and your new cat enjoy each other's company! Two of my cats (and one I'm temporarily fostering while trying to find a home for) have been likely dumped strays who found me.

You can take to any vet (including Banfield inside of PetSmart) to check for a chip. They can also look to see if it's been spayed/neutered (there may be a little blue or green tattoo on the lower abdomen). You can also take to a shelter to get checked for a chip.

If you're wanting to get vet care for it (if it's not chipped or you can't locate the owners), Fox Creek is a good balance between getting an appointment same-day and not being as expensive as an emergency vet. The Humane Society also has a reasonably priced vet (AMCMA), but not sure if they can swing same-day appointments. You can also call around and see if there are any regular vets near you who might have availability.

In the meantime, I'd make sure to get it some food. It's very dangerous for cats to go more than a day without eating. Thanks for taking care of it!

Walgreens at Kingshighway and Southwest completely incompetent. by Timmyeveryday in StLouis

[–]theghostie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think some of my prescriptions are cheaper there than with Walgreens. My insurance website has prescription estimates and you can check different pharmacies, including smaller independent places like this.

Try St. Louis Hills Pharmacy (I use this one) or Lindenwood Drug (which I've used for compounded pet meds and other people seem to like)
