Kitteh...

Okay, so that "roommate" thing?  It kinda happened a little early.  Except... he's the wrong color, and, I think perhaps, the wrong gender.

I was taking out the trash this evening when I was accosted by a very sweet, very SKINNY black cat.  I couldn't stand to leave him so I went ahead and took him inside and gave him some food.  Stephen was here and he ate a little bit and then came and begged for luvins from both of us and then ate some more and drank a LOT.  He's front-declawed and I couldn't stand leaving him outside, so Stephen lent me some money to get a litter-box and some cat food, since I'm going to need both anyway. 

Thing is, I really CAN'T keep him.  I've already committed to taking Sapphire and I can't really afford two cats, plus I'm fairly certain that he's sick and I can't afford to take care of an ailing kitty.  He's got some kind of nodules on some parts of his skin, one of which seems to be scabbed somehow.  I haven't seen any fleas but I'm a little concerned that he might have something he'll end up passing on to Sapphire.

I'm going to put out flyers tomorrow, but I'm not sure what else to do.  I REALLY don't want to put him back outside, and I know that the humane society is super low on fundage right now.  Plus, I think that he could really stand a vet-trip, and I think he may be blind in one eye. Is there anyone who would at least be able to take him to the vet and have him checked out?  Or does anyone have any suggestions of someplace I could take him where they'd check him out for free?  Does anybody take boarders?

*sigh* I've really got to quit being such a damned bleeding-heart.

(btw, Carrie, YES I AM still taking Sapphire in, hopefully sometime this week.  What are you doing on Thursday and on Friday?)

Love,
Crystal
