Hi Marnie,
I'll gladly take your extended paw as I love talking to people
who have the cat's interest at heart and not making big bux or
competing with others who do rescue work.
In our very small town I am the only rescue/santuary, so I have
no competitive problems. The only other animal shelter is the
county pound where the cats are gassed and incinerated as fast
as they come in the door. It was because of this horrible place
that I started my sanctuary. I'm in north eastern WV (Terra Alta).
I'll make a note of your e-mail address so we can chat in the
future.
TTYL, Lorrie

Thanks Lorrie!
It's nice to have validation from someone else who is doing this.
I'm sure you understand when I say how frustrating it is for me
every time I hear about a sanctuary that doesn't have the animals
best interest at heart. Not only is it horrible for the animals in
their care, but it ruins the credibility of people like us who are
truly doing the right thing for the right reasons.
Please email/contact me anytime you need anything. I don't know if
it's the same where you are at, but the shelters in my area are a
bit competitive and don't always work together. When I started this
I naively thought we were in this together and would work together
on the animals behalf. Instead I have found I'm on my own doing
what I can for these guys. That said, I will take my support system
where I can get it and am extending my paw in case there is
anything I can do for you. :0)
