That isn't the point. Asking for money in order to save a cat's life and
then saying the cat will be euthanized if nobody sends you money raises the
question of this scenario as being legitimate. People are very reluctant to
send money to an organization or individual they don't know. I resent being
called a cruel person because I called into question whether you are legally
allowed to operate. If I was such a cruel person then 3 of my cats would not
have gotten such a great home and I wouldn't have dedicated myself to
helping cats for so many years by getting most of the ones I've found placed
into legal non-profits so they have a chance to being adopted into good and
loving homes.

Most of those who have rescues need to file for exempt non-profit status. If
you don't have the money to do so then why not become a member of a
legitimate rescue as a volunteer? That would be an excellent place to start
before attempting to start your own rescue. Many times the legal non-profits
have access to resources like vets who will do certain procedures like
spaying and neutering at a lower cost.

maybe I should also say I'm 19 work part time and go to school also... I
do what I can to help... being called a "scam" before I'm checked into
isn't fair... don't call down on people you don't know. I've done a lot
within the last 3 years and have been doing this for the last 7 years but
the last 3 have almost been all of my free time. I don't drink do drugs or
spend my money on anything that isn't a necessity. I have put out so much
already all I'm asking for is help. Anything you can spare is nice and
will help. I get donations sometimes but it's very rare and mostly it
comes from people who adopt from me. I work very hard to find homes for
the feral cats in my neighborhood (and there are many) I have rescued 109
kittens and 36 feral adults all of which had to be caught tamed down and
socialised before they could be rehomed. This was just last year (2006)
Everything extra I have goes into my rescue.

Thanks for listening to me rant and rave
