Please both Reyna and Michael, don't take other people's concerns personally. It is good to check things out and be a little skeptical before handing over a cat to someone you don't know.
Awhile back I took an FIV+ cat from Glendale, California. The people sending teh cat wanted references, which I gave them. They did check the references. They were very paranoid (actually suggested that I might sell the cat to a lab!) but I just gritted my teeth and reminded myself to look at it from their perspective. They even photographed the transport person and checked his driver's license before he left with the cat. It's OK. Better to be too careful than not careful enough. --- On Thu, 7/30/09, secondchancem...@aol.com <secondchancem...@aol.com> wrote: > From: secondchancem...@aol.com <secondchancem...@aol.com> > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject) > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Date: Thursday, July 30, 2009, 9:17 PM > I have offered to take this cat for > life no matter how long or short it > might be, and give it a loving home with other cats to play > with, a family > that cares about them and my own time, effort and funds to > take care of them. > Reyna, I will be happy to give you references from rescue > groups that have > dealt with me and know me as well as the mgr at the local > SPCA that i work > with. i think my name will stand any scrutiny that > you would like to give. > > > > In a message dated 7/30/2009 8:21:51 P.M.
