What a :mad: :mad: :mad: woman! Grrrr!
I am glad that everything turned well with the control. Of course, it's good that the authorities checked after a complaint because I guess in some cases it is necessary. But this time it was just you...
All paws and fingers are crossed for you, the found cats and angel cats in order that you have no trouble anymore. I am pretty confident, knowing all good things you are doing for the furry babies ;)
I never cease to be amazed at how vicious and vindictive people can be!
Whoever reported the hotel obviously leads a very sad and small minded life :mad:
No kitties on earth have better care than yours so try not to let this get to you. If I "come back" as a cat I'm booking into the hotel!
What a doofus that person is. They need to get a different hobby. :( I'm glad the kitties were friendly to the ACO; that couldn't have hurt.
Some people have nothing better to do than to try to make problems for other people.
Gary, you are such a wonderful person....very loving and caring and the Found Cats know that you are an angel.
Prayers and good thoughts on their way from CT.
Oh gary . . . I hate that you're going through this again. Do you ever wonder why in the world people won't just leave you alone??? Geez!!!
We are praying that the Found Cats will be safe, as well as you. :)
Christa, Josie & Brodie
This made me so :mad: :mad: :mad: !!
How could that idiot do this to you???
You are a treasure , and your cats are the happiest in the world!! I hope that this will never happen again to you and The Found Cats!!!!
HUGS from Belgium :)
Sorry to hear that Gary. That is really maddening since you have a heart of gold and if anything you would prolly go without so that the found cats would be happy and healthy.
((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))
Glad the lady saw what it's really like.
~Aki :D
I agree. It's just rediculous that some people have to stick their disgusting noses where they're not needed, especially when the cats aren't hurting anyone. :rolleyes: I can not and never will understand people like that :mad: They really need to get a life and leave everyone else alone.Quote:

Dear Gary,
That person who complained is another stupid nanny goat, to say the least. How dare she. She would rather see the Found Cats living as strays or euthanized? What is her problem?
We are so glad the Animal Control person saw the truth of the wonderful home you provide for so many cats. We hope they put that in their records so you won't have to be subjected to so much anxiety and agony again because of someone like that bitter, vindictive harpy.
We never fail to be amazed and touched by all the stories and pictures of the Found Cats Hotel that you share with us!
Your admiring friends,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Priscilla, and Poppy
My Vet is so angry at this that hes not only writing a letter, but offered to put 8 Cats up, at his expense so I would only have 2 Cats.
I said that it would be too hard to trap that many, and they would be terrified.
I am going to put my faith in his letter, and the Animal Welfare Association.
I did appreciate his offer though, and maybe a few Cats would like a vacation.
NOOOOOOOOOO! We like it here, Dad!!

But seriously ... IS there a way to Get Legal and keep the Kitties you have?
Is the "issue" a City or County LIMIT on the number of Cats?
Can you buy a "Kennel" or "Rescue" license? If so - How Much $$ ??

Gary I thought I had already replied to this but scanning through I don't see it. I just want to let you know how saddened I am to hear this. It's one thing when people call out of concern but to do it just to cause problems is awful. I hope this can be put to rest once and for all. Sorry you are having to go through the stress.
(((HUGS)))
Officially I only have Ten Cats as there are three Cats, Moose,Rocca and Pouncierge who will stay hidden.
But I am praying that the fact that they are healthy and well cared for will keep them safe.
But Gary, I think I'm headed the same direction as Phred. How many are legal? What does your city/county/province (whatever it is called) allow for? Are you breaking any laws? I'm certainly not asking this to accuse you of mistreatment of your cats, just asking to know whether that woman has any ground to stand on.

I have been so upset over this.There are MEAN people and then there are people who just don't understand how much we are doing to help these cats.It doesn't matter how many you have as long as you can provide for them.Food,fresh water and litterboxes that are maintained.There are thousands among thousands that are homeless and there are so many nice people like you Gary that are spending money on these cats out of your own pocket.These people that talk bad about you and all the rest of us that have a FEW cats are out enjoying themselves spending money on nice clothes,going out to parties and traveling while we are all forfeiting this to take care of these cats.AND we are very happy doing it.Because we are Better people.Prayers on the way Gary.I will help in any way possible if anything happens.Even take a few till things blow over.I know your vet said he would too.That's really nice of him.
I hope you find out who did this.
Hey, Remus here with a message for the Found Cats...
You tell those meanie-heads that your dad is the best cat dad in the whole world and that there is a whole army of pet angles and friends willing to say what a great guy your dad is!
Paws crossed that everything turns out A-OK!
Respectfully
Remus K. Maru
Whoever that person was who complained, I hope they get what's coming to them, threefold!
From what I've heard of your kitties and what I've seen, even if I am the newbie here and prolly the most ignored, I can tell that they are spoiled -not rotten- to the point where they are most likely the happiest kitties around.
You should find out about the laws with keeping kitties in your home, though I think that laws like that mainly stick more toward the canine spectrum rather than feline. (here in Corvallis I think you can have an unlimited number of cats indoors and outdoors as long as they're spayed/neutered and taken care of).
When I lived in Independence my neighbors across the street were vets, and took care of roughly thirty strays by feeding them and keeping them healthy and nonproductive, and then another neighbor had another twenty kitties, with I think only fifteen of them spayed/neutered, though they only had one unspayed lady, who lived indoors most of the time.
I say keep your kitties happy and be happy yourself, because no matter what other people say about you, you are always you and your kitties will always be happy there, and I think it's really cool what you do.
Wow I sound really lame, but I think it got my point across. :eek:

You are only supposed to have 2 Cats in any home.
And there have been Cat Hoarders in Hamilton which is why they had to investigate.
The Animal Control Officer had just been in a hell hole of a house and she was so relieved that the Found Cat Hotel was not full of Dirty Hungry Cats.
They will not take away Healthy Cats, as they are full up at the Shelter now.
PLEASE continue to pray for The Found Cats and The Porch Cats too.
I will keep on feeding the Starry Cats, I cant stand to see Cats go hungry.
Its just the way I am.
Gary, the girls will not uncross their paws!
I'm so happy that they no better than to take away cats that are being cared for.At least that says something :)
*GASP !
How could people do such a thing !?!?!? :mad: :(
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}
:( Oh Gary I am so sad to have been reading.. I do hope all turns out well & for the goodness of your feelings & heart & the behalf on the Found Hotel Kitties.. Me & the girls send lots of Whisker Huggss & Prayers... PM me if you need anything..
Recently there was a case her in OC of a couple who had over 60 cats. They were trying to help but couldn't keep up with the necessary vet trips.
And that is the difference Gary. You make sure your cats are spayed and neutered and get regular care. You are doing everything the shelter would do...without tax dollars.
I am sure the Animal Control people like you and what you are doing!
My thoughts are with you for a positive outcome...
