Need Major Support!!

[Freedom]

All too common a tale, unfortunately. Bless you for taking action!

Bless your heart for taking in the mama and babies. Like Mary (Medusa) said, people DON'T think. They just want the responsibility to be gone from them so their consciences can be clear. It makes me sick.

Now, because of the horrible housing market and the market in general, people can no longer afford to care for their pets. I've been getting calls like, "Yeah, uh, I need to get rid of my cat." And that's my problem WHY???

I blame Bush for this entire mess and can't wait for that idiot to get outta Dodge.

I also blame our illustrious Governor Rell for sitting on a PILE of what she calls "Rainy Day Money". Hellloooooooo!!! There's a monsoon here, DO SOMETHING!!!

Thanks for letting me rant. I'm just sick of stupid, irresponsible pet owners that toss them out like they are yesterday's trash.

AND THIS PUTS A STRAIN ON THE ENVIROMENT AS THESE POOR CATS AND DOGS ARE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO SURVIVE, AND THATS SADLY KILLING THE BIRDS AND SMALL ANIMALS.
I KNOW THAT NOT FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE, PEOPLE LET DOGS LOOSE AND THEY FORM PACKS , AS IS THIER NATURE AND ARE DANGEROUS.
THIS IS A GENERATION THAT HAS NO SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY, AND ITS A THROW AWAY WORLD, BUT DAMN IT THESE ARE LIVING CREATURES OF GOD, NOT TOYS.

I am so thankful that God sent you to save those precious little lives! Like everyone else here, this is something that I personally hear all too frequently. Especially where I live, in a farming community. I can relate to your wanting the momma and afraid of what your husband will say. I remember when I only had 1 cat that I adopted from a shelter. I stopped one evening at a gas station and they had found this tiny kitten under a Pepsi machine. She was starving to death and covered in fleas. They asked me if I wanted a kitten and I told them that my husband would kill me it I brought another cat home. Well.... she went home with me and is now a gorgeous, long haired Calico that is my heart kitty. That was 9 years ago. During the last 3 years 15 more have joined her!! Yes, I am still married What are we supposed to do when no one wants them?! Here, cats are just barn cats.

Yeah barn cats is what they call them here also I just fear their safety cause being my uncle looks at them as such that they will die of starvation or worse being hit by a car. So I have got them going to a farm where they feed them and they have a great big barn where they can play and be kittens and be safe also. My co-worker just called me and was so happy to be getting this family he even thanked me for thinking about them in this sort of situation......Plus this way it gives me another week to sweet talk my husband. He is a softy too! He just worries cause our Chloe has stress issues and that is his little pumkin seed and he worries about her. That is all he was soooooo happy that I helped this kitties.... He loves our (Kids) that is what we call em' He just worries about his little girl.....

I grew up not on a farm, but in a convenient spot that people from the nearby city must have thought of as "country." We'd get a cat or two dumped off in our neighborhood every year, usually one that had been a "cute kitten" in the spring, but was now in that gawky stage ... The poor things had NO clue how to survive or hunt ... we had one on our porch (I'm terribly allergic) for much of a summer one year until he got catnapped. He was best friends with our dog, had a milk crate with a (flea-powder covered) old Army blanket in it, and when he finally managed to meow, it sounded like the cellar door squeak.

People don't think.

Well the babies went to their new home today...I fed the kitties really good again last night the momma kitty was so happy to have a good meal in her tummy again. I really want her I want to keep working on the husband.... She really is a sweet kitty!
