is a wonderful thing. If I lived in your area, I'd be right there with you. We could use something like that in my area as well. I wish I could get my hands on the people who undoubtedly abandon these animals!! My husband and I have been married for almost 26 years, and over the years 10 cats have wandered into our lives. We have found homes for three of them, and the rest we kept. The only options were to surrender them to our animal shelter, which usually has a waiting list of about six months before they can take them or, and this is a completely unacceptable option, hand them over to the police's animal control, where if they aren't claimed in five days (and they never are), they are euthanized. We are ex Air Force, so we have lived in several places/states, and these sweeties find us no matter where we are... My husband is convinced that our house must smell like catnip, or there is a sign visible only to cats that must say "Cat Hotel"!

Please let us know how your group goes. Good luck! I think I'm going to call our animal shelter and see if there is any interest in starting something like that here.

Also, and I know that I and the rest of us here at PT have said this to you before, but I'm going to say it again...God bless you and Scott for everything that you have done for Barney. Not everone would be as selfless, patient and loving as you have been with this sick, homeless angel. Many, if not all of us here at PT have likely been in a similar situation with a needy animal, so we can all appreciate the lengths that you have gone to for Barney. You truly have been Barney's angels...

I'm sorry Barney didn't have a good day... Bless his heart...The time really is approaching...In the meantime, I, along with the rest of us PT'ers, am going to keep praying and lighting candles, virtual and real, to help light Barney's way to the Bridge. Bless you all...
