Re: Hideyo's court case 19th??-attorney fees-incorporation

[catatonya]

I would be willing to help pay legal fees as well if it comes to that.  Hideyo, you are too nice.  Let your boyfriend help you!

 

Also,  you already know Hideyo, that I worry about you taking in more than you can handle.  When this is all over I would really like to see you incorporate and get a board of maybe 1 or 2 additional people so that you have some help and some back up help for when you need it.

 

I know I sound like a broken record, but a couple of years ago I had to have emergency surgery, and it was a nightmare due to my animals.  It was during a holiday and my regular petsitter was not available.  My family had to be given all directions, etc... (and friends) and tried to help, etc.... but you know how that goes.

 

I guess I'm paranoid now, but I constantly worry and plan what to do with the animals if something happens to me.  I'd like you to develop a plan.  You never know what can happen, and you have a LOT on your plate.

 

I think this would help in your court case too (although it's too late for now, but if it comes up again).  If you are incorporated and have more than one person to help out and contingency plans, etc....  Again, I'd be glad to help you if I can.  And if I lived near you I'd be the first to work with you on incorporating your sanctuary.

I will commit to pay for minimum two hours legal fees--more if poss/nec.
depending on the hourly rate. It seems very important that Hideyo have a
good attorney. (And my commitment to taking Hideyo's FeLV kitty Tsubami
most def. still stands)

>>>provided that Hideyo doesn't get herself into this situation again. <<<

Unfortunately I don't know how, even with the best will in the world, Hideyo
or anyone else who opens their heart and doors to needy cats could guarantee
this--there are too many mean people wanting to make trouble for others,
like the anonymous, cowardly complainer in Hideyo's case. I doubt very much
Hideyo would be able financially to move to a safer (in terms of zoning)
area. (The recent NJ shelter case also comes to mind--the one where 12 FeLV
cats were
fortunately saved by one angel in Indiana and a pilot with a heart of gold.
That case arose, we were told, because of complaining neighbors who didn't
like the presence of volunteers.)

conscientious people, who try to make good on the problems created by
others, who get penalized....<<<
Agreed, that's just one thing very wrong and unfair about the world we live
in.

i would think it would help to bring out more forcefully what has been
mentioned in passing: that hideyo, you are taking in animals that no
one else wants, that you are caring for creatures that may be ill or
undesirable (to others) but deserve to live, and that you are NOT the
people who are letting their cats roam to spread disease, cause damage
and repopulate the earth.... (i can't figure out why it's the
conscientious people, who try to make good on the problems created by
others, who get penalized....)
