Someone called Animal Control on the Found Cat Hotel

[aki]

Sorry to hear that Gary. That is really maddening since you have a heart of gold and if anything you would prolly go without so that the found cats would be happy and healthy.

((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

Glad the lady saw what it's really like.

Dear Gary,

That person who complained is another stupid nanny goat, to say the least. How dare she. She would rather see the Found Cats living as strays or euthanized? What is her problem?

We are so glad the Animal Control person saw the truth of the wonderful home you provide for so many cats. We hope they put that in their records so you won't have to be subjected to so much anxiety and agony again because of someone like that bitter, vindictive harpy.

We never fail to be amazed and touched by all the stories and pictures of the Found Cats Hotel that you share with us!

Your admiring friends,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Priscilla, and Poppy

My Vet is so angry at this that hes not only writing a letter, but offered to put 8 Cats up, at his expense so I would only have 2 Cats.
I said that it would be too hard to trap that many, and they would be terrified.
I am going to put my faith in his letter, and the Animal Welfare Association.
I did appreciate his offer though, and maybe a few Cats would like a vacation.
NOOOOOOOOOO! We like it here, Dad!!

My Vet ... offered to put 8 Cats up, at his expense -

so I would only have 2 Cats.

Is this a New Math problem?

There's 13 Kats pictured ...

If the Vet "puts up" 8 Kats ...

13 -8 leaves a LOT more than TWO! ... ???

But seriously ... IS there a way to Get Legal and keep the Kitties you have?

Is the "issue" a City or County LIMIT on the number of Cats?

Can you buy a "Kennel" or "Rescue" license? If so - How Much $$ ??

Gary I thought I had already replied to this but scanning through I don't see it. I just want to let you know how saddened I am to hear this. It's one thing when people call out of concern but to do it just to cause problems is awful. I hope this can be put to rest once and for all. Sorry you are having to go through the stress.

Officially I only have Ten Cats as there are three Cats, Moose,Rocca and Pouncierge who will stay hidden.
But I am praying that the fact that they are healthy and well cared for will keep them safe.

But Gary, I think I'm headed the same direction as Phred. How many are legal? What does your city/county/province (whatever it is called) allow for? Are you breaking any laws? I'm certainly not asking this to accuse you of mistreatment of your cats, just asking to know whether that woman has any ground to stand on.

I have been so upset over this.There are MEAN people and then there are people who just don't understand how much we are doing to help these cats.It doesn't matter how many you have as long as you can provide for them.Food,fresh water and litterboxes that are maintained.There are thousands among thousands that are homeless and there are so many nice people like you Gary that are spending money on these cats out of your own pocket.These people that talk bad about you and all the rest of us that have a FEW cats are out enjoying themselves spending money on nice clothes,going out to parties and traveling while we are all forfeiting this to take care of these cats.AND we are very happy doing it.Because we are Better people.Prayers on the way Gary.I will help in any way possible if anything happens.Even take a few till things blow over.I know your vet said he would too.That's really nice of him.
I hope you find out who did this.
