Wow!
Thanks for all the offers for help. What a group, I'd say that it really shows just how useful and good natured the internet can be, it took over twenty post before we turned it sexual!
Seriously, the offer for help have been great, so far folks have pledged over $102, and offers to actually transport the kitten! Now the only thing to do is wait for HDexpert to log in and check either this thread or the other, and see if he wants to fufill his role in this grand plan.
In the meanwhile, I've got some pictures of said kitten. Note, when asking girlfriend to take pictures, and try to include normal objects to serve as a reference for size, try to be more specific...
In a woman's hiking boot.
In a one quart saucepan (no heat applied).
As a freakishly mutated fifty foot tall kitten-monster attempting to battle the US Army (if you're still trying to judge the size of the kitten, all armor and figures are 1/32 scale, so just use the internet to look up the actual sizes of either an M1A1, M60A1, or M2A3 Bradley, divide by 32 and compare the resulting figures to the kitten).
