That was my impression. From the cats' point of view, they are a lot
better off--safer, fed, sheltered. I hope they are s/n.

I haven't read all the literature or watched the videos about his
place but I was under the impression that it is set up to be a
sanctuary not a rescue or shelter type situation. Most of his cats
weren't pets but homeless cats that were living on the streets
anyway. So his place is probably better than living on the street.
Probably also has ferals that were at a pound ready to be executed
because they're not adoptable. He also takes in ferals that can no
longer live at the colony location.

I thought about this too, but he might not let me bring them in the
house because I felt guilty leaving them outside.

viewing his video, I checked out another from a girl who had
pictures that suggested it was not so good. It was good that they
get food and have houses to sleep in and it is fenced, but just with
a normal cyclone fence that cats and coyotes cold easily get over.
And with that many cats and not much help in the caring department,
it is hard to see how he could keep up with who is sick,hurt. His
video also said he bears most of the cost with some donations to
help. I also worry about who will take over when he dies since he
doesn't look like a youngster. Does he have provisions for
continuing care of the cats. Also, if people take their pets to him
expecting them to get the same care they gave them, would they? My
guys go outside for 2 or 3 hour in the day but they are inside at
night and bad weather days. The are used to sleeping on my memory
foam bed and me. I do not think they would be happy there.

She has a staff of like 25 people. I never heard that about the
other guy so who knows if his property is fenced in. But it seems
like he takes in ferals and homeless cats who have absolutely
nowhere else to go so even if it isn't an ideal home situation those
cats are a lot better off with him.

Don't they get out? Is it all fenced in? I had so many questions

builds all kinds of houses for them to sleep in and spends the day
checking up on them and giving each one some loving.
