How much are you paying for SNAP online? From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok, here's the "story" in a
nutshell...... First, yes, I know about SNAP, I know
they can be ordered online,I know they're considered the
"best". BUT, they are too pricey. The shelter I am affiliated with is
a 501(c)3, and Idexx gives us a shelter discount, which is HUMONGOUS!!!! However, since we are No-Kill, and it IS
kitten season (joy,joy -NOT!!), the shelter is NOT taking any more cats, not
even kittens!! PLUS - They will not sanction anyone
"fostering" strays, as they always did in the past. (Reimbursement
for food, meds, vx's, S/N) Much of this is due to the fact that they
helped in the Katrina rescue effort. A little overboard, IMO. They made 3
trips, each time with 6 people, and footed the entire bill, courtesy of the
rescue's $$$$. And, they stayed at motels, ate out, you get my point. Also, they had 42 HW positive dogs they
had to treat. You do the math. Now, don't get me wrong, I was/am very
PRO Katrina rescues, but this shelter really couldn't afford to absorb the cost
of 3 trips...... Now, the "local"
homeless/strays have to suffer. Also, we have been told, that they will
not order/provide ANYTHING for us that have started doing "independent
rescue". Nice, huh? After 25+ years, I can't even get a single
tube of eye ointment! My friend and I, who religiously do the
Adoption events EVERY week, are inundated with cries for help! How can I/we say no? Especially
when we know what the "fate" of these babies will be?? We need to test all these (un)sanctioned
strays, prior to adoptions. Just was hoping for a more dollar friendly
option. Frustrated, Patti |
