We do adoptions @ Petsmart, ofcourse.
And we sign up for additional time during the week when there is space
available.
We list on Craigslist, Petfinder,probably some other places too.
Wemakebig postersw/"before & after"photos detailingtheir plight.
We have one person who does our "screening" in the Austin area.
We are hoping tohave a shelter /group foster home by next spring.
That really would help.

Susan-that is wonderful!
Could you tell me what you do for an adoption event? I'm interested for the
future when my husband and I hope to run a sanctuary. And, I've got three
fosters that need homes now, so any advice on advertising and such would be
greatly appreciated. The web just really doesn't work for advertising around
here.
Thanks,
Melissa

Subject: a bit of happy mews.......
Today we finally found time to take 6 of our 12 'Houston hoarder" cats to the
clinic for retesting.
These cats, if you remember, came from a house of 185 neglected cats.
Many of the cats were felv+.
I took in 14 to foster, and @ first they were all housed in one large "walk
in" size pen.
We were testing them 3 @ a time, and the very last cat that we tested,
Lillian, came up felv+.
Which meant all of the other 13 cats had had a continous exposure to felv for
about 3 weeks.
In very close quarters.
And many of the cats were sick w/ all kinds of problems when we got them, as
well as malnourishment.
We had pyrometria, URI, mouth ulcers, toe infections, very stressed out
geriatrics, megacolon, and one little kitty w/seizures that did not make
it....... :(
to name some of the problems.
Anyway, of the 6 that we tested today, all came back neg/neg after a 4month
quarantine.
We are planning an adoption event to be held for them,hopefully this
weekend,so that they can now start finding permanent mew homes......... :)
The other 6 are in a separate pen, and we will be getting their tests
performed the first of next week.
Please wish them well..........
