Additional Info/situation: This mama and babies comes from a high-kill shelter in Alabama. All are malnourished, and one of the babies has a leg that needs immediate surgery. If we cannot find transport the foster will be forced to return this family to the shelter, where they will almost certainly be killed immediately. If this leg is too long, we can do MSL to GSP or SC24 where I am located and I can arrange secondary transport from here.

Hello,
On Friday August 2 I will be flying from Wytheville, VA (KMKJ) to Leesburg, VA (KJYO, near Oakton) in the afternoon. If someone could get the cats up to Wytheville I could take them on the second, final leg.

Steve thanks so much for your reply! We are trying to raise money to drive them all the way the first of the week, but if that doesn't happen then I'll gladly accept you ride! Will post updates here as I know them. Thanks!
