Rochelle, Thanks for asking. I did post a note to the FML about it, but I didn't save what I posted. So here's a little bit of what I did. The cage was in pretty bad shape after all. There is a large hole rusted through the bottom. The wire around the hole is rusty too, and each time I touch it, another piece falls off. The slide-out tray had a rust spot that covers about 1/4 of it. I still have it on my porch, but my fiance warned me to get rid of it. I think I'm just going to toss it, unless there is some very industrious person out there that wants to restore it. The carrier fell apart. There were a couple of hooks missing (it's the kind with a separate top and bottom) and the door springs were broken. The handle on top also broke off while I was cleaning it. So I tossed it. The water bottles, food dish, leash, and litter boxes I kept. I didn't get any responses from anyone who needs them, so I'll hang onto them for now. The offer is still open: If any shelters need two water bottles, two corner boxes, a ceramic food dish, and a leather leash, let me know. I'll be glad to clean them up and send them out. As for contacting the vet, I figured it wasn't really my place to go that far. It just gave me a creepy feeling when I thought about tracking the situation like that. I just pray that the poor guy (his name was Gitch, according to the prescription bottle) is safe and at peace, be it at the Bridge or in someone else's home. ===== Aileen & the Herd minus two Herdlings Slinky, Kyle, Noel, & Rootie the beagle Fresh from the pain of losing Sandy.
