Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work
Didn't the authorities bother to check with your vet. That would have told them about how you care for the cats. That is the first place anyone should check if they suspect a person is not caring for their animals. All they have to do is look at my Care Credit account and they will know.

Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work
I'd like to hear specifics about any issues with Best Friends. Everyone I know who has ever visited them in person has absolutely loved the place. And I know they do a huge amount of good and take on large projects that most other rescues could not manage. (Like the 800 cat pahrump/FLOCK situation in Nevada.

Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work
Wow, Natalie, that is impressive. You definitely have a lot more cats than we have. I'd take in more if my hubby and I weren't so ancient (77 and 88) but I'm afraid when we die we'll leave a bunch of orphans. It's a constant worry, and we have no rescue group to help.. We're it!

Consider providing for them in your will. I had a lawyer draw up one leaving everything in trust for the care of my guys. On Dec 20, 2010, at 2:55 PM, Lorrie wrote: Wow, Natalie, that is impressive.

Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work
I have a trust for my cats and a guardian and successor guardian identified. Very important. We just helped find homes for 5 cats and 2 dogs when their 50 year old guardian/owner died unexpectedly. HASSLE. The animals were in TN and those helping were in IA and CO. She had lots of money and could have provided for them but didn't. I have had my trust since I was in my 40's. L Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!~Fyodor Dostoyevsky -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Natalie Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 5:30 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work YES, we have provided for them, and I want someone to continue the work...am actively assessing younger people who work here, how they interact with cats, reliability, etc. I still have a few good years in me..unless I'm hit by a bus tomorrowNatalie -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of MaiMaiPG Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 5:52 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work Consider providing for them in your will.

Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work
It is amazing how many people don't bother to provide but trust friends, family, whomever to take care of their little friends...that is why so many go to the pound, are killed, or..
