Hey Glenda, The thing we may have to be careful of in this situation is the media. They might put Susan in her one bedroom apartment with all those cats on TV, and I don't know what the pet limit laws are in San Francisco, but I'm betting animal control will get involved. If the media only covered the fire and gave out Susan's contact info., that would be great, but I'm betting they'll want to know where the cats are now for the story, which probably wouldn't be good.
The media, however, can be used for good in some situations. We had a member here, Leslie, back in October whose cats got carjacked in Washington state, if you can believe it! Thanks to the media (TV coverage), she got both her wonderful cats back in a matter of time, a couple of days or so. The thief left the car with the windows open in a retail area, and the cats got out. It is a miracle they weren't killed. One was found at a shelter and the other hanging around one of the stores, I believe. It's one of my all time favorite stories now. :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ----- Original Message ---- From: glenda Goodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, August 5, 2007 2:02:05 AM Subject: Re: EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!! House fire!!! How very sad. This is near where I was raised...so I can feel it very deeply. I have heard San Francisco has become very progressive in caring for it's homeless pet populations, as well as everything to do with controlling it's pet populations.Is anyone familiar with their policies, as I am always interested in learning the different secrets of success.I think Las Vegas, Nevada is another such place??? Anyway, it would seem, if this is the case ,with a fair amount of publicity to make people aware of this tragedy, there might be an out pouring of sympathy for these cats...I guess I am just being hopeful? I do, however have faith in my fellow Californians...I'm so sorry for everyone involved...Glenda --- Kelly L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 10:08 PM 8/4/2007, you wrote: > > > > I believe it started in the basement wiring and > moves up.... > We could not talk too much today but she will be > online again tomorrow.. > Kelly > > >Also, I know you mentioned it was electrical - but > do you know > >exactly how it happened?
