It sounds like you're already able to handle this cat, but if not, they can provide you with help on trapping her so that she can be taken in for treatment.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-76781427143115193152008-04-02T12:43:00.000-07:002008-04-02T12:43:00.000-07:00Tom:Try checking out Cat Nip and Tuck and the Ariz...Tom:<BR/><BR/>Try checking out <A HREF="http://www.catnipandtuck.org/" REL="nofollow">Cat Nip and Tuck</A> and the <A HREF="http://www.azcats.org/" REL="nofollow">Arizona Cat Assistance Team</A>, both of which are based in Scottsdale. If they can't help you directly, I'm sure they can provide a good nearby clinic referral for spay/neuter as well as treatment of the injury.<BR/><BR/>The organization we volunteer for, RESCUE, usually sends its animals to Blue Cross at 36th St. and Indian School. The Arizona Humane Society also has low-cost clinics that provide high-quality care, but those are in central and south Phoenix.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-84307211951923270132008-04-02T12:32:00.000-07:002008-04-02T12:32:00.000-07:00Hi Jim; sorry for the off-topic post, but I couldn...Hi Jim; sorry for the off-topic post, but I couldn't find an email address for you.<BR/>I live in Scottsdale, near Redfield (about 96th st) & Frank Lloyd Wright. My wife and I have been caring for a stray cat in this area, trying to gradually domesticate her. Recently I found her with an injury to a front paw that left her unable to move around much on her own. I was hoping it was a sprain (rather than a fracture) that would mend within a few days, but she doesn't seem to be improving. <BR/><BR/>I know from reading your blog that you and your wife have a lot of experience with dog rescue. My question is this: would you be able to recommend a place for me to take this cat so she can get examined and patched up? I can, of course, find a vet in the yellow pages, but if you are able to refer me to a place that specializes in strays (or would, for some other reason, be a less expensive option) that would help us out a lot. We're about 30 min. NE of the downtown Phx area, but I'm happy to travel a bit if there's someone you would recommend.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks,<BR/>Tomtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811170515550139445noreply@blogger.com
