Default Unique cat rescue places loving pets with the elderly

Often the elderly are both lonely and afraid to take on a pet due to
financial limitations or fears that no one will care for their kitty
when they pass away.

Kittens Inc was founded in 1978 by Mary Nell Weatherred who recognized
that these two groups needed each other!

She placed socialized stray cats with elderly and, if necessary due to
financial hardship, provided food, litter and vet services. If the cat
outlived their human partner, the cat came back to Kittens Inc.

Helped the strays, made life more pleasant for the elderly.

Please visit the website at www.kittensinc.com. If you like the idea,
start a similar group in your community!

If you are in the Dallas area, please consider making a donation or
adopting a cat or kitten.

My earlier post describes some lovely kittens and cats currently
available. They are living in a private home and are quite social and
very pretty.

Thanks.....

Please contact me with any questions, interest, etc. by emailing:

put underscores between the words of the first half, change the word at
to the at sign and run the rest of it all together (no spaces or
underscores) with the dot changed to, well, a dot.

Default Cat left in house after tenant eviction

I'm trying to find out if there are any laws regarding abandonment of a
cat by tenants that were evicted from the house. I called the Humane
Society, as well as about 10 different rescue places, all with excuses
that they don't want or can't take cats. Aren't there laws to fine the
people who abandon animals? I hear from time to time about people
leaving dogs in homes with no food or water, and they alway want to
find the people who left them there. Why not cats? I live in Western
Pennsylvania, and would appreciate knowing who to call and what to do.
Thank you!
Mickie

Hi. I am a detective in Georgia (Perry Police Dept.) and I have
worked numerous animal cruelty/abandonment cases. Check your state
and local laws concerning these issues. I am certain there is an
abandonment law in your jurisdiction. Call the police department and
get your answers.
