New Charges to be filed against Tiger Ranch

[Anikaca77]

I agree completely. I have 7 as well now since I can't seem to get a home for Athena, especially since kitten season is coming it's going to be harder and harder to place her and well now that I just had her fixed and that whole situation I don't think we could give her up.

In my humble opinion, it's this line that speaks of the tragedy of it all. There were 106 dead cats and she still didn't see the necessity of asking for help? If she didn't know about it, that alone speaks for itself. If she did know about it, that's even worse. I am no person's judge but I lose faith in people when I read of stories like this. In fairness, I believe that this woman started w/the best of intentions but somewhere along the line she lost sight of her goal to help cats and, rather than show humility and, most importantly, love for those cats, she turned a blind eye to the appalling conditions there. Who could possibly think that one person alone could care for 500 cats? I have my hands full w/7 and it's all I can do to afford their food and vet care. I would love to take in more cats. Perfect world: I'd help them all. But I can't. Financially it isn't feasible and even if I could, I wouldn't because I'm astute enough to know my limitations, difficult as that may be to admit. I certainly don't want to act as this woman's jury either but somehow the message has got to get across to people that cats and all animals are not disposable and that, if you're going to take responsibility for them, then that's exactly what must be done.

This is a responsible pet care taker

I had every one of them spayed and neutered. When I placed them in homes, I had vet papers to prove it and I gave the new families a month's supply of cat food and vitamins.

Almost every cat that I have feed I have trapped, fixed, and released it back.

Thank you for that. I truly appreciate it. And you, obviously, are a responsible pet care giver as well. I've read your most recent post and the mental anguish that you're experiencing right now over Athena's pregnancy and all that was involved. So thank you again for taking the time to post this.
