I live in the NYC area and none of the groups here know about them or believe that they are legitimate.

One director of a local rescue shelter was informed by a friend that she could put in an order -for example-a long haired white kitten and would be contacted when one was available. The friend also informed her that this group has a long waiting list. When there are so many homeless and desperate kittens already on Long Island needing foster care, why do we need to ship more up here? I myself contacted this group about offering to foster (when I received a message about desperate 24 hours to live kittens so I would have fostered them at my parents' and friends) and only received the canned message about paying up front $175 for a kitten. I'd appreciate any information you personally first hand know about this group so I can make an informed decision about this group. regards, Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "BONNIE J KALMBACH" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 9:35 PM Subject: OT: transport for baby kittens needed > If you can help, please reply to Barbra at [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > IF YOU CAN'T HELP TRANSPORT THEN PLEASE CROSSPOST THIS TO ANYONE YOU > KNOW THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP - or any groups you might belong to. > > We pulled 23 baby kittens this weekend that were slated to die.
