You are up late Phil


Just got in a little while ago. The only time I can feed one of my colonies
is very late at night- the town prohibits feeding ferals.

We do that here in Florida the 3 surround counties call the cat society
before they put an older cat down. Only time we put an cat down is if it
is
absolutely medically necessary.


That's our policy, too.


We have a permanet fixture named Charley
who is blind who has been at the shelter for 8 years. We have 48 kittens
at
the other shelter that deals with all animals. The nice thing is we
belong
to a animal companion group here that helps place cats and dogs etc to our
senior citizens. It is a proven fact that a senior citizen lives longer
when they have an animal companion compared to no one at all.


We have a pet therapy program in a hospital. The Drs. actually prescribe
pet
therapy for many patients. If I had more people, I'd like to expand to
senior citizen homes.



Being in
florida home of the newly weds and nearly deads we place animals every day
to happy homes.

You might want to think about placing some kind of sticker/notice in the
homes of the elderly in case of an emergency so the cats will be taken care
of. Something like this:

http://www.maxshouse.com/Illustratio...ue_sticker.jpg


Actually, everyone should have a sticker like this on their front and rear
doors.




We also have major news channel in our area that does a pet segiment that
shows who we have up for adoption after the segiment that animal never is
there more than a week or two max.


Yeah. We had a spot on a local cable channel- but a new company bought them
out and wanted to charge us. Nice, huh?


We have a dog that looks like "snowball"
from the incident . We had 200 calls for him that day brought the people
in for interviews; long damn day, one family got lucky We got even
luckier
50 families took new friends home that day. It always feels great to see
an
animal go to a happy home


It sure is! The only better feeling is pulling a cat through a near-death
crisis and seeing that tail finally go up! I've been working with two
panleuk kittens that finally made it through the danger zone and are on
their way to a full recovery.

However, after reading the cat newsgroups for awhile - you'll start to
tremble and second-guess every
placement you make.




We just adopted the last of the 200 katrina pets we had last week befoer
the
hurricane. Our Naples shelter near where the hurricane came in there are
over 300 foster families taking care of Katrina refugees. They all are
studing at the vet college down in that part of florida

UFLA in Gainesville has one of the most successful TNR programs in the
country- Operation Catnip.

They tried that here and found out that the local fire department and
police
officers union was animal friendly and refused to enforce that law. Which
the idiots who chartered it are gone now.

Most of the towns in my area are feral friendly or turn a blind eye. But
this one town is ~20 miles away in a different (hick) county and a real
PIA-- its another LaCrosse. I have to *really* camouflage the winter
shelters and feeding stations and make midnight 'commando' feeding raids.
If the cats don't get fed, they'll start looking for food where they could
get trapped and killed.

I'm working on a plan to trap and relocate the colony- relocating a colony
is a very difficult project- especially from an uncooperative town. The
cats must be confined in a small area in the new location until they're
acclimated. There's always a high risk that one or more of the cats will
try to return to their old territory. I don't think they'll be safe where
they are for much longer- so, I'll probably have to make the move in the
early spring.

Either way, good luck with that, althout I'll have to do some
research before I know if his answer was bogus or not.

How will you know if the information you find is bogus or not?
You don't seem bright enough to tell the difference. LOL!

It must be very entertaining inside your head Phil.

But seriously. Calling someone stupid as you often do is the laziest
putdown.

You only feel that way because you're stupid. LOL!

A troll's confession to committing a crime


Yeah, I'm a troll, moron. Nothing gets past your lightening quick
perception. LOL!

I commit the same crime every day- sometimes even twice in the same day.
What is a coward like you who hides behind a fake name going to do about it,
huh?

No, moron, I didn't say I studied feline nutrition in school. Perhaps your
reading comprehension deficit is a cause of your stupidity.

Or he could be replying to too many stupid people.
Always a hazard in Usenet.

Meanwhile, what really IS stupid is coming in to a cat discussion
group, indicating that your cat is showing symptoms that can indicate
illness or parasites, then announcing that you are not taking the cat to
the vet and expecting people who care about these animals NOT to
suggest you take it to a vet. It is equally stupid and unreasonable to
expect said people NOT to get upset when you declare that you will
not take the cat to the vet. If you must neglect your cat, must you
announce it?

It is reasonable to suspect that people who do this are doing it to
get a rise out of the cat people. And THAT my friend, really is trolling.

Not being a smart ass. Not having the unfortunate habit of advancing
valid arguments and taking apart bad ones. Not even swearing or making
personal attacks. Posting just so that you will upset people meets the
simplest working definition of trolling.

Since you love to point your cyberfinger and yell "troll" at anyone you
dislike, it seems you live in a glass house, J.D. Just something to think
about.

Standard policy when we bring a care package to the home when some one
adopts they get food for about a week pet supplies and that sticker is
standard fixture
