Please purr for the cats in Ottawa
According to the story reported in today's paper,
http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Ottawa...93915-sun.html " IT'S RAINING cats and kittens and Ottawa's animal shelters are getting desperate." I got Rusty from Ottawa's Humane 10 years ago. Since I lost my job, I haven't donated to Humane. Rusty's had many health issues and is on costly prescription food. As he gets older, I anticipate his TED bills will keep going up. So I can't afford to adopt another cat. Please purr for the cats overflowing Ottawa's shelters to find their true homes. -- Winnie -- Winnie |

I just hate this time of year for the overflow :( ]] Agreed. I only wish I was a zillionaire and had a huge home, so I could afford to take in lots of kitties AND care for them properly. Since I can't do that, I'll have to settle for the next best thing: giving a home to the two bitties that I can care for, supporting the local shelters (particularly Morris Animal Refuge, since I've adopted past and current cats from there), and sending purrs and purr-ayers that anyone who's capable of providing a good home heads out to the shelters to adopt one or more pets ASAP. Sigh. It frustrates me to know that there are pets who would be WONDERFUL in a OneTrueHome, but who aren't getting the opportunity to prove it. :( May the inspiration strike as many good would-be Meowmies and Paws as possible that they need to hear the pitter-patter of little paws in the house, the flutter of wings, etc. |

Hope that the day will come that there will be no need for animal shelters. -- /\~Beautiful Imbalance~\/ |

Guess who didn't get much sleep last night? Purrs for the kitties in Ottawa. -- Marina, Frank and Miranda.

But can you keep her is a room by herself at night as far from you bedroom as possible? Rusty, even as an adult, made lots of noises in the room next to mine early in the morning. Even got a complaint from my downstairs neighbour. Finally I put him in a room furthest from my bedroom, with no furniture and only his carrier, litter box and food dish. It has became his room over the years. Winnie -- Marina, Frank and Miranda.
