I like hearng about people's experiences on this
sanctuary/shelter/will/caretaker sort of thing. It's very illuminating.
And I just have to say, well said Kelley on the PETA thing. They creep me
out!

I'm so sorry Alice. Sounds like you are doing everything possible to treat it.
I'll keep all of you in my prayers.

Alice, I wish you and your kitty well. My Miss Clara never took the interferon.
She was diagnosed last July with lymphoma. I had to let her go yesterday. The
disease finally beat her. I don't know how I will EVER be able to go forward
without her.
Sincerely,

Alice,

They creep me out too. Heard about them taking cats/kittens in North Carolina
and Virginia, saying they'd find them homes, then euthing them and tossing in
the garbage.

always been indoor/outdoor cats, so this is what I want, BUT if

Kelley, Thanks for reminding us about PETA. I used to give them
donations, but when I found out what they did to cats I never gave
them another cent, and I've tried to spread the word about all the
cats they kill. I suppose they do some good in other areas, but cats
certainly get the worst
Hi Kat, This is exactly what I have done so far. In my will I have
left $1,000 for each of my 14 cats. It is the best I can think of to
assure they are cared for. However, I have no way of knowing some
unscrupulous person won't take the money and dump the cat!! It's the
big question of WHO
I agree. I do think they serve a useful purpose on other areas. Guess they like
flies. But with cats, they're crazy folks.

Hi Lorrie,
I share the same worries about my cats' care after my death as you. The two
best sanctuaries I have found are Cat House on the Kings in California
http://www.cathouseonthekings.com/ -where I would love to live myself, and
Tabby's Place in New Jersey http://www.tabbysplace.org/ Both
No. NOT Cathouse on the Kings. Have you actually been there? Recently?
Don't recommend them unless you're answering yes to both questions.
There are a lot of problems with Cathouse on the Kings. They have 600-800
cats, poor tracking and intake procedures (inadequate testing and FeLV cats
That is a great place! But I still wonder how all those cats can be
monitored and how they don't get out of therelogistically, I'd love to
know how it's done! Natalie

When my mother died, she had 17 rescued cats. Since I was up to here with
our rescues, I found someone to live in her house, free of charge, in
exchange for caring for the cats. Since 2001, there's one cat left. I
could bring him to CT, but at his age, he may as well live out whatever time

I agree Susan, the more humans available, the more likely the sanctuary to

Depending on a cat's age/life expectancy, one must also figure in potential
health problems and veterinary visits. I had a call from a woman who wanted
to get rid of her 15 yr old cat - she said that she would give me a
sizable donation, even after telling her over and over, that we do not

We work with seni9or and special needs animals and often find good homes for
them. But that is only after we take care of blood panels and dental. On
average we spend about $500 per cat getting them ready for adoption. And
that's with rescue discounts, our own lab account, etc. Market rate
Hi Natalie,
According to a TV special I saw about it, the whole place is fenced in with
cat-proof fencing.

I don't think they like flies more than cats, I think they consider all life
equal - a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy so a rat's life, a pig's life,
and a boy's life are all equal in their minds.

Alice, I was saddened to read that Miss Clara has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
We love them, care for them and in the end let them go. In time your memories
of the good times with Miss Clara will help you cope with the grief. But it
does take time.
You are in our thoughts and prayers

My condolensces on the loss of your boy-cat, Scrappy. It is obvious this
little fellow was special and you two shared a strong bond of love and
friendship. May his journey be easy, and may your heart be eased by the
memories of the time you did have together.
