The rubbermaid is more expensive but I have a couple that have held up for 5-6 years while the cheaper ones lasted a year or two. On Feb 27, 2011, at 10:57 PM, dana giordano wrote: http://www.neighborhoodcats.org/HOW_TO_FERAL_CAT_WINTER_SHELTER-

I don't like PETA either, but the point is made - Check out sanctuaries before sending ANY animal there. Something too few people do. Beth Dont Litter, Fix Your Critter! www.Furkids.org   --- On Sat, 2/26/11, Kelley Saveika wrote: From: Kelley Saveika Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] PETA To: felvtal

Re: [Felvtalk] Money in trust for cats........

What makes the $500/$1000 inadequate is that, from a rescue standpoint, older animals have to be fully vetted before they can be listed for adoption. That includes dental which is so expensive. Adopters are reluctant to take on older or special needs animals because they are afraid of the cost

Re: [Felvtalk] Money in trust for cats........

Oh? Is this a nation-wide requirement or certain areas? And for senior animals only? I never heard that in my neck of the woods and have rescued and found homes for many dogs and several cats. Of course, they are usually younger and are always fully vetted before I take them out for Adoption Days

Re: [Felvtalk] Money in trust for cats........

If you can find someone you trust beyond everything, give them the house to care for the critters. Supervision is the issue. And making sure they don't haul the cats to the pound and claim the house. On Feb 28, 2011, at 3:35 PM, katskat1 wrote: Some great ideas/questions! Thank you all an

When I say senior I'm talking about cats in the 10-15 year age range and it seems they invariably need dental work when they come into rescue. We also always do full blood panels for anyone over 8 years of age. We don't want to risk adopting out a cat who is hyperthyroid or diabetic or in rena

Re: [Felvtalk] Money in trust for cats........
