Good Thoughts Needed.

[Medusa]

I wish them luck - I wish I had Oprah's income and could at least give shelters a bare operating expense.

Me, too. It gets worse every day w/shelters, etc. and people needing more and more help. I swear, I'll never be able to retire and so many people w/problems, it sometimes seems endless. Somehow it always works out, though. (usually) It truly is not in the budget for me to donate any money at this time. My house has major water damage and ant issues and people have been coming to me for loans and, if I can, I always help. But I need to think of my fur posse and always have a reserve just in case one of them gets sick. Oh my, I wish them well.

If the budget hasn't been signed yet, there could be some hope for the
shelter. How many people live in your city? They should speak up to the
local authorities & find money to keep this place open. It really is a legitimate
function of any city government.
