I did a home visit on a couple who were considering adopting a one-eyed cat that I'd scooped up on campus, slowly starving to death because he'd been "set free" already one-eyed, had been hit by a car and had a broken jaw. They saw him, knew his history, but when I visited and asked about the litter box area they showed me their back garden with a broken fence. When I turned them down, they were very shocked.

I don't know that we have anyone on PT in that area, but hopefully there is someone with contacts there.
Lizzie, thanks to my hubby I can't access the Yahoo Groups anymore. I don't know his password, and even if I did the darn 'puter thinks its him! I registered for several groups a long time ago, and get the digest forms sent to my inbox. If you can crosspost there (or someone else) please do!
Glad you did the home visit before placing that poor kitty, and tough for them for being so stunned they didn't get him.
Carla, You are something else my dear friend! Don't you have enough yet?
I did email "Blind Cat Rescue" and Alana I'm sure has emailed this person.
I don't think emailing and slamming her descision to dump will do any good though. If you do email, be nice and avoid this moron getting defensive and dumping the cat anyway.
I know..hard to be nice..I want to take a train to the Bronx and strangle this idiot so badly! Oh yeah...and take the cat.
