    Advice with Harley adoption

    Thanks all. I got a good perspective from my GF who was shocked at my requirements and told me "i'd have said no way!" When I explained the reasoning and told her she was naive that the following things happen all the time: adopters dumping cats out, rather than returning to the rescue people...

    how many people on this board feed strays on a regular basis

    I feed 17 TNR'd (almost all of them are done!) ferals at my colony. Every night - dry n wet without fail excepting during storms in winter - then I leave food in the shelters and stock up for them... I also go every other night to 4 to 6 drains and outdoor locations where I leave food for the...

    Advice with Harley adoption

    Jimmylegs - I just wondered that too. I wrote back and told her that she had to understand he was abused, and that I was doing exactly what the rescues and shelters do vis a vis, vet checks, home visit, fee, contract, ID (you have to show it at the shelters you know), and in some cases the...

    The TCS Long-Distance Rescue League

    CarolPetunia AMAZINGLY GOOD IDEA! I really can get behind this. No. Va, willing to foster kittens 5 to 12 wks. someone else would have to take over to place at that point, that's the huge problem that i have. I am overwhelmed with caring for cats, so I've no time for placing, not to mention...

    All, I know we are very scattered on this site, but I'm going to cross post this for my cat rescue friend Sharon. Sharon's a great person. She's done a whole feral site! But, one mama managed to have babies before she got. She has about 4 or so 7 wk olds. She can't foster, due to her...

    FOUND Flm. Pt. siamese NEEDS HOME

    So, Harley is getting better now. Off his pain meds, not doped up, the teeth obviously aren't hurting him as much as before. Now unfortunately, he wants to go OUT! No, no NO Harley! No more out for Harley. He obviously didn't do well before when get got out....or was let out. So, he has to...

    FOUND Flm. Pt. siamese NEEDS HOME

    Thanks all ... I'm not to proud to take ANY help finding a GOOD home. Some people do terrible things. His name may have been "Harlie" "Arlie" or Marley. He responds SUPER well to "Harley". He is doing okay, though there's puss in the ear canal from his jaw/tooth surgery I guess. He does...

    FOUND Flm. Pt. siamese NEEDS HOME

    Yes, he does LOL. Nova has stronger color, but less "pointing" than Harley. (I renamed him from his former feral name of Snowball.) Harley is more wheat colored and v. pale, but has quite a dusting of this color contrasting with his creamy white coat. He seems to like the name Harley, LOL...
