Re: OT:Help is needed: Owner of compound for cats fret about felines' future...CA.

actually the article in the paper said the couple tried to build another compound and the city granted the permit but on condition they adhered to certain codes which would have resulted in a very large bill. the article made it sound like they are retiring and want to sell their land now--that's why they're closing their rescue operations. However I've also learned not to believe everything I read so the newspaper might have slanted the article to make it sound like this couple is giving up on helping cats. I feel bad for the cats regardless. unfortunately i'll be paying off Jelly roll's vet bills for awhile so I'm strapped. (and now Clancy the felv+ foster cat that came to stay 5 years ago is showing signs of something bothering him-problem is I can't catch the big dope.)

Hi;
I am trying desperately to help a cat shelter in the San Diego area
that is closing
in about a week and a half.

first off, forgive me if i sent you more than one email about this and
forgive me if you aren't involved in any way in cat rescue.

But, whether you are or aren't, Chateau Du Meow is closing!

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20031209-9999_1m9cats.html

Apparently they are without the proper zoning permits or something to
that effect, and the city has closed them down.

It is my understanding that many cats have been placed elsewhere, but I
really can't be certain.

I took a cat there myself several months ago, as he was a semi-feral
and fiv+, and this shelter catered to "unadoptables," but there were
also many adoptable kitties there too
At the time, the place really impressed me, as it was spacious compared
to others I'd seen, and the cats seemed comfortable and
well-looked-after.

If you know anyone looking for a cat and wanting to save a life, this
may be a great opportunity.

If you or any group with which you are affiliated can take even 1-2
cats, we may be able to save them all.

If you can't, perhaps you can donate $ or time to a group who could.  I
can go down there this weekend (or really any day before closing) to
retrieve cats for any groups or people willing to take them.  I can't
take any cats myself, as I live in a studio apt. with 3 cats already,
and my bathroom is tiny and windowless.

I am willing to donate some money (though not a lot) and time to help
anyone or any group who can take any of the remaining cats.

Please cross-post!!

Any questions, call me at: 310-686- 9010 or call Johanna at Chateau Du
Meow at 858- 481-9777

Thank you so much,
Linda
