Can anyone just put these kitties in a spare room for now? <br /><br />I feel awful. I need my own house, then I can use a spare room for such occasions...<br /><br />WHY do cats have it SOOOO bad? I know dogs don't always have it easy either but why does it always seem that everyone SH*^S on cats? <br /><br />It really frustrates me, screaming to the choir is right.<br /><br />Where is animal control in Woodstock?

He does amazing work just "getting the word out". That's all he does all day, post and work tirelessly (like yourself =)!) to help these cats. He has TONS of followers and TONS of contacts/resources. It is possible if you message him and tell him who you are and what you do that he can guide you to get you in with his group and get a lot of attention on these kitties. I am just an adopter, not in rescue per se so I don't know that much about it, but I follow it b/c it breaks my heart to see them suffering and I ALWAYS ADOPT when ready for a new baby for our home. And I ALWAYS ALWAYS tell people/educate on adoption/rescue. <br />Really, Peter is amazing in that he reaches so many. I met him through the Petfinder boards.JenLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-61165926296117434422010-08-17T08:07:10.464-04:002010-08-17T08:07:10.464-04:00Mary Lynn: I clicked on the Canada Helps link and...Mary Lynn: I clicked on the Canada Helps link and it worked fine.

They couldn't advertise this place or have the public walk through to pick out a cat. People would be outraged. How many days do these cats have to live like this before they are euthanized? Oh, I'm sorry I am asking so many questions but I just don't get this.

Perhaps the town council needs to take a walk through it. Someone should take pictures and put it on the local paper front page. I think that might help.

As a foster based rescue, we HAVE TO have space for the cats we rescue, otherwise they can't be rescued. <br /><br />It's really dangerous financially and emotionally to rescue cats when you don't have the space to put them. In the meantime, we're dealing with cats being returned, problems, blah blah blah....<br /><br />It's always a juggling act.House of the Discardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558420754849811482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-53562281276281621652010-08-16T21:44:45.079-04:002010-08-16T21:44:45.079-04:00Not sure we are in time to help any, but you might...Not sure we are in time to help any, but you might want to contact <a href="http://hubblespacepaws.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Space Paws</a>.
