And I know that Sherry puts her soul into helping these cats, and it is not her fault that it is ran this way, however, it does not make it "Ok" by any means. We are on this list because we have or had cats that are felv+, and this discussion is about someone who is deliberately exposing cats to felv and fiv. While she runs a shelter and collects donations. If anyone needs to leave this list, it would be me. I am applaud by this behavior and cannot even remotely condone it just to save someone's feelings.

So many of the people here put their heart and soul and every spare minute possible into helping and learning about cats/animals. There are certain basic rules of common sense that even I have learned in the last few months when it comes to dealing with these two diseases: FeLV and FIV. There are people here that have taught me a lot and who I depend on to answer questions that I might have or that might come up. There are people here with wonderful hearts that are just here learning the basics. I sincerely care for them all. We should NEVER attack each other. WE ARE ALL ONE. If I were to tell you what grade I am in, as in, elementary school, as compared to Susan, for example, I'd say I'm a mere first grader and I'd imagine Susan might be in high school... light years ahead of me, but here, we shall call it high school compared to first grade... high school for knowledge in the diseases we are dealing with and high school for experience dealing with animal rescues and shelters and the different ways of how they do what they do. I completely respect Susan's take on things and I trust her experience, admire her spirit...she says it like it is. I flower things up , but it is all the same...no matter how it is said. It is important to remember, IT IS ALL FOR THE ANIMALS. WE ARE SECONDARY. If we could sit, as like on a Board of Directors meeting, we could discuss what would be best for the animals and maybe compromise somehow and attempt to see each other's points. I have tried to keep myself in check, but it has been difficult when I am seeing everything I have so far learned here, being turned upside down by this rescue/shelter or that? I have so far dealt with a shelter that sent me a FeLV+ cat and butted heads with a shelter in Wisconsin with the everyone must be declawed thing going on... Right now the shelter of discussion is where Sherry gives her heart and soul. I try so hard to see all sides, but there are times I just cannot and if you were to ask me, if after I had just won $300 million in the lottery, who I would want to organize and run my, big fancy shelter. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SUSAN. That is all folks! Glenda ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life?
