Gary I am so sorry that a vindicative mean hearted person has done this to you. You know the saying "the more I know people the more I like my cat"
that really pertains here doesn't it?

Hopefully they are just trying to scare you for some reason and they don't really call. Is there a rescue group that you can say you are affiliated with? I think there would be an exception to how many you have if you do rescue.
