    The nicest thing happened!

    Hi folks, Just thought I'd share this happy news w/ you all. I started a new job about 2 wks ago and this customer came in and I told her about the local cat shelter that I foster for and she said she shares the same love of cats and herself, works in a vets office as a vet tech or whatever...

    Thoughts on No kill shelters

    To whom it may concern; I'm not even sure why they made this message RESPONDABLE but oh well. Every KILL shelter in the state of Washington I've ever visited SUCKS. Sorry to be so blunt but they do. They're unclean, unkempt, disgusting and the people there are RUDE, RUDE, RUDE. They'd rather...

    Breaking my heart...

    I've learned to use my "senses" about it. For example we had a cute little girl cat hanging around our place--at first I thought she was dumped off but seeing how well kept her hair was and how well fed she appeared I knew she had SOMEONE in this neighborhood who loved her so I didn't take her...

    Breaking my heart...

    One idea for you is this--IF there is any kind of feline sanctuary in your area (see sticky at top of opening page) you can call them and ask if they have any cat traps you could borrow. Ours lends them out for FREE. You could then trap the cat and bring him to the shelter provided they have an...

    Husband won't let me keep...

    Is more or less, "he's fighting me on this..." My husband doesn't tell me what I can and can't do. Sure we're considerate of one another as PEOPLE but I am quite independant and if I really thought it'd be ok I'd get her DESPITE what that neanderthal said. Sorry to keep naggin' but I told the...

    Husband won't let me keep...

    that for the most part our home stays picked up and clean. But only because *I* keep at it. Of course going through a m/c is painful so I haven't been able to do a lot of what I normally do around here and I guess what bothers me MORE is he isn't helping out...and he KNOWS how much pain I'm in...

    Husband won't let me keep...

    I probably should've explained the WHOLE situation. My husband has very little "control" over this household, trust me--anyone that knows ME knows I will not be controlled, that's why I am divorced once already! I married a guy who really thought women are/were inferior and we had a constant...

    Husband won't let me keep...

    one cat I had fostered. I had fostered her and her three kittens. We currently have two outdoor cats and one dog and he won't let me keep the mother "ragdoll" that I'd wanted so much, gosh I love her. The scary part is I'm actually considering leaving him over this. Then again this is more or...

    Local SPCA won't let me adopt

    We could debate this issue to it's literal death but I don't see the point. There are pros and cons to both and I agree w/ them all, it's hard not to when so much comes into play. I had a cat, who realistically due to unknown pre-existing health conditions, lived to be 2.5 yrs old versus the...

    My sis recued a kitten!

    I'm going to take some of my fosters over to play with "Sasha" and I'll get some pics of them and post them here, I can't wait. The rolls of film I developed didn't have any of my foster kitties yet though... but hopefully soon I'll get them up. I'm putting together a website for it now. Elyse

    Local SPCA won't let me adopt

    Grinder, That's too bad they feel that way--cats were outside MANY, MANY years before even being tamed by man so I'm just shocked. I guess if you lived in the city I could see their thinking but otherwise I'm at a loss. If it were me I'd just go elsewhere and to be honest if a lot of their...

    New here-probs with adopted cat

    but this is according to her vet but he told her that tortie shell cats are KNOWN for their stubborness and alleged "grumpy" behavior. I think they're just more "cat like" is all myself! If it were me I'd keep her inside a few days (like maybe 4 or five) feeding her, spoiling her, etc and see...

    My sis recued a kitten!

    I just wanted to share some "happy" news. As some of you may know I have gotten into "offical" foster work via my local, no kill feline shelter and sanctuary. My sis and her husband recently were at a local park and found a cold, wet, sick kitten! They took the beautiful baby tortie shell to a...

    For those of you who've lost a loved one I want to show you a site that I found that is just wonderful. If you've already seen it or if it's already here I apologize but I just had to share it to make sure. http://rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm It's a special place on the web reserved for...

    Sick kid in Tucson

    I'm not trying to sound unsympathetic but there really is no excuse. This child (if in fact, he has A/S) needed help and needed some type of monitoring and apparently he wasn't getting it. I'm not impressed. If I were on the jury and the evidence showed enough proof I'd convict him easily. Our...

    My cats always take a bath after I pet them

    They actually *despise* even ONE hair being out of place hense most folks recommending we NOT brush or pet them the WRONG way. Mine love it when I pet them but often will put their hairs back where they "go" and I'm ok with it I suppose, lol. Then they come over and try to put my hairs back...

    Spaying

    When someone had murdered and dumped an innocent puppy in my alley this same org REFUSED to investigate. They just took her in her garbage bag, blood dripping and said..."Oh we don't do that..." WHY THE HECK NOT!!!!???? GRRR....Ok, I'm going to drop it now otherwise I'm liable to get really...

    Spaying

    My belief on that issue (along w/ others I've seen in my OWN state-Wa) is that it's the kill shelters (not all, but some). The ones that are earning the bucks, getting the funds, etc--they want US out of business, those of us who foster that is. In my state they want folks who foster (they only...

    Spaying

    Isn't it just safe to say "NEUTER OR SPAY YOUR PET PLEASE?" I mean honestly--no offense, but I don't care about exact figures on populations because I know what I see with my eyeballs at all the shelters, in the wild where I see ferals, etc. It's a point not worth arguing IMHO. They are...
