Or shoot them or dump them or............I suspect Bob is the only
neutered dog in this area. I want play dates for him but.... the dogs
here run loose (Bob does too--under some supervision--but I am at the
end of the road, backed by government land and........There is appx
1/2 mile between the house and the gate/road but he doesn't get to
stay out alone or for long times. Or they are chained or......cats
fair a lot worse. After all, no one thinks they need care and
love....wonder what these people are going to thing when St. Francis
joins St. Peter with a few cats at his feet?????????

If I could provide funds for animal welfare the majority would be to
free/low cost spay and neuter! Preventing suffering is easier than
eliminating suffering.

JUST HOW OLD IN THIS NATALIE? i AM 70 AND HOPE TO BE HERE A FEW
MORE YEARS.
Maybe we could get together and help each other out. fATHER MADE IT
TO 92.
SPEAKING OF HAVING A RESCUE/NO KLL SHELTER, DO YOU HAVE TO BE
LICENSED? i
WAS THINKING of starting one and applying to cat food companies for
$ off or
a dnation of food, maybe. Then I could handle more than 7. Right
now,
between litter and food, my budget is stretched to it's limit. All
of you
who rescue, have you tried this and did it work? We have so many
unwanted
cats around here thatI was thinking if I could start a cat only
shelter that
would give PALS a break and they could concentrate on the dogs. The
have
been turning away cats and dogs because thy simply do not have the
room and
they just got a larger facility so they could handle more. So many
in our
area have lost jobs, homes and cannot keep their pets. Also, being
a rural
area no one neuters their anmals, just let them breed and then give
the
babies away to anyone who takes them. Unfortunate because many who
take
them do not take good care of them, just let them run loose and if
they get
hit by a car o!
r taken by a coyote, get another one. Even PALS isn't too picky
about who
takes them. Thy are overrun so let them go without too many
questions. I
would probably go the other way and put them thru a background check
before
I even interviewed them. Then, I would end up keeping them because
I could
not find anyone good enough for my babies.

Yes, I would take a few if I had an open condo, so don't go anywhere

I have so many foster failures that I have more cats than most people
so mine could never stay together (a lot of them wouldn't care). So
here's my plan - my husband would keep several but he couldn't handle
keeping all of them by himself, and even if he did once he
remarried I
doubt a new wife would want to take care of that many animals, so for
the rest my rescue would take a few of the younger, adoptable ones, I
have a couple of friends that would each take a few, then I know this
nice lady in CT that operates a rescue that can take the rest. Her
name
is Natalie.
Except for one cat, she will go to someone with the e-mail address of
maima...@gmail.com. That cat's name is Mai Mai so it's only
appropriate she goes to someone who has Mai Mai in her address!
Her and her brother are named Mai & Thai, like the drink except that
there's an "h" in the tai word that normally isn't there. So her
name
is pronounced Mai like the drink but I call her Mai Mai. Just to
clarify, the reason there's an "h" in Thai which isn't there in the
correct spelling of the drink (which is mai tai) is because my boy
Thai is an apple head Siamese (mix but looks almost pure) and the new
name for the traditional applehead Siamese cat is a Thai Cat. So
after reading that for some reason I came up with Mai & Thai for
those
two. So anyway, I think Mai Mai should go with Mai Mai on her farm.
And if you're taking Mai Mai you might as well take Thai.

Hey, I love you two!!! I wish you really could move here when
the time comes. I am in fairly good health for 78, so I don't
plan on checkin'
out anytime soon, but I worry about my cats a lot because it
could happen.
.....
For the record my three kids are older than you two girls. My
son is 56, middle daughter 54 and youngest daughter just turned
50. All of them adore cats, but they already have a bunch of
their own. My youngest daughter has
11 cats, and the others have a several cats and dogs. I know
they wouldn't just dump my cats, because they are great kids,
but they would have a problem taking all 15 of mine.
.....
Now just in case you two are really thinking of coming here you
can look up www.alpinelakeresort.com It's in the eastern
mountains of WV just ten miles from the Maryland border. Summers
here are wonderful with temperatures seldom above 75 - 80, but
beware, in the winter we get LOTS of snow.
Anyway, regardless of whether we ever meet, thanks for giving me
some hope for the future of my kitty kats. BTW, Maureen, my cats
like strange people, I'm pretty damn strange myself :-).

See Lorrie - now everything has been worked out! So tell your
three kids if they don't get off their butts and offer to take
your babies in that you're going to have two strange women
(well, I'm strange
anyway) living in your house taking care of your animals. And
we're not going to let them come enjoy the lake either!!!

I like the way Maureen thinks! I can help Maureen take care of
all of your cats, I love her idea even though she's kidding. It
would be a great place to retire and between the two of us, we
can take care of all the furry babies! Afterall, I will be 47
next month :0)
