I am on the Animal Alert S-O-S distribution list and get hundreds of e-mails daily about cats and dogs on death row – it is enough to drive you crazy and keep you from sleeping at night., especially when you see photos of those sad faces with pleading eyes. Usually, these poor animals are scheduled to die the next morning which doesn’t give enough time to do much about it. Since I operate a cat rescue, I am already full up all the time, but have managed to get some off death row to foster, we have kept one real character of a cat, and have been able to network to find homes for the few luckier ones! If everyone did one tiny bit, like on this FB site, so much more can be accomplished! Thanks for getting involved! Natalie =^..^=
