exactly..... it only takes one person with their own agenda to cause irreparable harm.
we were once contacted by someone who wanted us to take her two FeLVs, from quite a distance away. as FeLVs don't do really well on long transports, we tried to work with her on more local options. every place she went to, she found major fault with, yet every time we tried to set up transport arrangements with her, she has one excuse after another about why it wouldn't/couldn't work. i had many long emails and phone calls with her, and finally, she just stopped responding. about two months later, she started posting hissterical messages about these same two cats on the lists. again, i wrote and reminded her that we were willing to take them--on the lists, she wrote really nasty letters about how i'd never responded to her before, and that if it had been up to me, those cats would have been dead by now, then she went on about how she wasn't going to send them to a place where the cats lived in cages in tiny rooms all their lives--which was not at all the case where we were--i'd sent her many photos of our facilities..... when i reminded her, off list, of our phone calls and emails, she went back on the lists, saying that i was harassing her and that she was going to tell everyone to have nothing to do with our sanctuary and that if she ever heard from me again she'd report me for stalking.... i reported HER to all the lists she was posting on, actually.....and considered sending her the bill for the long-distance phone calls i'd made to her.... some people will never be satisfied, and sadly, some people really do exist solely to make trouble for others.

I do not know personally of the place but be careful when saying something negative like that on line, You could really hurt someone trying to help. I have a small sanctuary and would never allow anyone in here with out an appointment, There are many many crazy people out there unfamiliar with what it takes to manage multitudes of cats...All it takes is for one cat to vomit in a corner and another boy baby to spray someones shoes.. Yup it happens. I know of two wonderful caring rescuers ( not hoarders) who lost al their cats when an novice cat person decided it was messy etc,,,,they called the authorities and as a result I imagine many cats lost their loving home and perhaps their lives, for a person getting rid of cats for any reason, why do they expect others to be able to do what they themselves are willing to do,,I have both FIV and FELV.... I do recommend that any time a cat is placed a home check is in order,,that is common sense. Kelly www.kellyscats.zoomshare.com
