Gainesville Florida Kitty in trouble

[u/Jesiplayssims]

Hi. A 12 week old kitten was found and was on its way to the pound after it's finder took it to the vet- when I stepped in. This little boy has a heart murmur and a wonky eye (not formed correctly, possible vision issues). Unfortunately, my cat hates him. He needs a home and medical care. All the local rescues have turned us away (full) or not responded. I am afraid to simply post on neighborhood social media because we have dog fighting rings around here. Can anyone suggest where he can go? I've been calling him Jackson. He's playful, sweet, and litter trained.

OMG. Thanks. I am still waiting on the other person to respond. What would I Google to look up transport here (and not get people transport)?

I just Googled cat/dog transport. Apparently there’s quite a few businesses that transport but they’re all over $1,000 - I guess they charge by the mile. I’ve adopted a number of dogs from shelters in the south but the cost of shipping was included in the fee for the dog. I’m sorry that this is the situation.

I understand. I just spoke with Top Hat transport (750-950) depending on where you are. I wish they offered rescue transport special pricing. Fudgcicles. Thank you for trying 🙏

I’m hoping (praying) somebody will see this and who knows …maybe there’s a kindhearted soul who will be traveling north soon and wouldn’t mind a kitty companion for the ride.
