Dear Patti 

You havebeen 
throughso much with your beloved cats--much, much more than 
me--thatI would never presume to persuade you not to do what you 
absolutely need to do for you.

But I can't help hoping that 
when you've had time out for you, time to smell the roses, time to regain your 
energy, recharge the batteries, that maybe you will eventually 
reconsider.

It's angels like you that 
restore faith in humanity when wedespair that-- to borrow the phrase of 
another listmember last week--the whole world has gone to hell in a 
handbasket.

There are so few willing to 
work on behalf of needy animals that it would just be so sad for them to lose 
you too, especially when the reason for them losing you is someone who has 
caused them great harm. It's a double whammy for the cats---they suffer through 
this other person, and then they lose you too. 

But I understand that you are 
in a very difficult place right now. And you need to look after you, first and 
foremost--that goes without saying. 

Sudden, awfulthought---I 
hope you'll stay on the list?! You're such a very special person who has done so 
much for so many years for catsin need and I for one can't bear the 
thought of you going off-list. Just thinking about it brings tears to my 
eyes.

Wish I could give you a big 
hug---so sending you zillions of cyberhugs instead. 
love and hugs, 
Kerry

Belinda,

Regretfully, will you add dear, sweet, little Ellen to 
the CLS as deceased. 8/24/05.

She just "gave up" late yesterday, and all I could do 
was hold her in my arms thru the night, whispering reassurances to her that 
although all 1.3 lbs. of her put up such a brave, determined effort to "fight", 
it was okay for her to go to sleep and join the other fur-angels. She had earned 
her "wings". She passed, quietly in my arms during the early morning 
hours.

I am completelydevastated with losing 
her.
Such a sweet, tiny little baby, but she's struggled so 
hard to stay alive.
She tried so hard, she had a determined 
spirit for such a frail baby.
But she was just so small, so 
innocent.
She just didn't have the strength to fight anymore, 
and it was heartbreaking to look in her eyes  realize she'd just given 
up.
For the short time she was with me, she definitely 
stole a big piece of my
heart...

What a cruel fate, such an awful death, for her  
all the others that died senselessly because of the irresponsibility of her 
"supposed" rescuer.
Yes, they were "spared" the horror of the gas chamber, 
but for all these innocents to die such a "horrible" death due to the "transport 
from hell", I wonder which fate would have been the lesser of the two 
evils...

The heartbreak of all this is also NOT knowing how 
many other innocents died from exposure to the still "UNKNOWN KILLER" 
of the transported cats, all due to the failure of the person doing the 
transport to be upfront  honest with all of us involved. And also how many 
cats are STILL at risk because the while truth hasn't been 
told???
Also, her sheer DISREGARD for the lives of 
these babies by basically just cramming the 20+ cats into a small vehicle, 
UNVETTED WITH NO PAPERWORK from the shelter, mixing litters, 
crammed into carriers  the cardboard "temporary" carriers, like sardines, 
without food, water or even a damn litterbox for the long ride , non-stop, from 
Georgia to Pa., on one of the hottest, most humid days,then to Ohio, then to 
N.Y., then finally back to HER home in Pa.(a 2 bedroom townhouse, 
in which she already is housing 50 (Yes, FIFTY!!!), of her own 
cats

AND, as if things couldn't be any worse, this 
was her SECOND large transport from the SAME SHELTER in a two 
week period!!

How in the hell could this be allowed to 
happen???
This woman is NOT A RESCUER, BUT A MURDEROUS 
COLLECTOR!!!

I apologize for my harshness, I am NOT an evil 
person
But I am over-ridden with grief  guilt. If 
I had been able to think that afternoon, I should have called The Adams Co. SPCA 
to the scene, but I justdid not have my "wits" together..Regrets, I am 
having a VERY difficult time DEALING w/ the reality  gravity of 
the horror!

The SENSELESS loss of so many lives, the 
unknown number of other innocents that are now in 
danger.

Right now, I would like to put this woman in the trunk 
of a small car on a hot, humid day, drive 600-700 miles, and then "toss" her in 
a gas chamber...

I do not mean to offend anyone on this list. God 
knows, I love you all and you all have been such a wonderful, supportive, 
compassionate group of people, no doubt this list has always been my favorite 
due to the fact of the "closeness"  support.
So, please forgive me, but I NEEDED TO 
VENT!!!
I am totally heartbroken and have lost faith in what 
RESCUE is

   Patti,
  I'm so sorry to hear about sweet little Ellen, how absolutely 
horrible that these sweet little babies all perished because of the 
unthinking, uncaring actions of a would be rescuer.  I'm praying for her 
50 cats at home and for any more kitties that have the unfortune of 
ending up in a transport she is involved with.


It may be a good idea to post the facts about the transport to any lists 
you belong to so anyone thinking of using her as one of their resources 
in the future can be aware of the horrible outcome of this run.  Just 
state the facts clearly and unbaisedly as you know them so you can't be 
accused of slandering her.  Anyone considering her services in the 
future should know that they may want to think twice about it.


My deepest sympathies for all the heartache you have recently gone 
through, it certainly is a test of your strength, but please think about 
throwing in the towel.  I'd hate to see the lady who so callously 
disregarded the lives of the animals in her care be the reason someone 
as wonderful and caring as you can no longer help those sweet innocents.


She isn't worth all those lives that would not in the future be saved by 
you  :)
