I know
that we are not real close but we would be more than willing to find room for
one more furbaby. We are in Louisville KY.There are several people on this list
who are familiar with our facilities yhat i'm sure would vouch for us. If
transportation arrangements can be worked out we are available. We can be
reached 24/7 at 502-363-6125.

What can you tell from a web site? I helped
transport four cats to a rescuer -- I met her in a city other than where she
lived. The cats were supposed to live there temporarily. One died
in the two months it was there of unknown causes, the other three all came
back sick with some sort of infection. It took several months to get
them back to health. It turns out the woman had over 50 cats in a small
house and no job. When the cats' went to pick them up (and learned then
that one of the cats had died), she was appalled at the conditions she
found. None of the people who had dealt with this woman on the internet
would have suspected a problem.
You really can't tell anything from a web site
besides they have a nice web site. That says nothing about the
conditions of the cats. I can't imagine any sanctuary being so
secretive. Visitors are a great source of contributions. There are
"cat collectors" out there who come across as really nice people -- they call
themselves rescuers. How can anyone tell if this is a cat collector or
not if she won't allow people to visit except a few selected days out of the
year? What makes me additionally nervous is that she's in Tennessee, a
state known for not being particularly careful in its care of animals.
That state is full of terrible pounds (remember the one that had the chute
that people could drop unwanted animals in over the weekend and at night?) and
terrible puppy mills. I think some questions are in order.

Right - they may have more the ability and
personality to deal with the cats but not with too many
"Tourists". They've got a nice web site, seem caring.

maybe it's more a case of not
enough staff to deal with "tourists" or looky
lou's --I know at the
local shelter they get alot of moms with bored kids
who want to come
play with the kittens and puppies and have no intention
of
adopting. still you gotta be nice to people because maybe they
will adopt,
maybe they'll bring food next visit, maybe...maybe
...maybe...
(i'm not saying someone wanting to bring a felv+ cat is a
tourist. just that
it still is a disruption in schedules and pulling a
staff member away from
duties...)
maybe also they know how stressful
it is to the animals...
just trying to look for the nice in people
today because i am ready to
strangle some morons on the animals board
on ebay who are whining why wont'
shelters let them adopt and declaw
cats rather than euthanizing them???!!!!
