22 shelter cats and kittens to be destroyed if not adopted in NJ:(

Have you considered being a foster home? Rescues can only take in as many cats as they have room for and foster homes are limited. Or volunteer to a rescue when they need people to run cats to the vets, etc. Also, I would contact local rescues directly and ask if they have room for just one (and if a few have room for just one, then it makes a difference. Unfortunately, it is not really news - as most county shelters euthanize when there is no room, but you can make a difference with just a tiny bit of work. I have partnered up with a shelter and contact rescues for the dogs there and it has helped. I have a rescue blog here: http://houndsgood.com ANother idea is to post to your local craigslist and ask other people in the community to adopt. there is still time - all is not lost yet.

I belong to a lot of Yahoo pet rescue groups and the "alerts" I would get are exactly like this all the time--on a daily basis I might add, and from all over the country--in fact I left and unsubscribed from many of the groups cause it got to be too depressing after awhile--each and every day I get some alert to save dogs or cats that were going to be killed in some shelter --some were going to be put down the next day The sad fact is, is that all shelters are crammed full, whether they are kill or no-kill shelters....and don't kid yourself, many of the no-kill shelters put down animals too on a weekly basis as there just isn't any room for the unwanted pet population--the worse is when many shelters have to close down...for lack of funds..many pet rescuers get a rude awakening of how expensive it is to run a rescue operation--my one pet rescuer friend is starting to panic....she was solely relying and living off the money she got when her mother passed away...and it was quite a sizable 'estate'...it takes about $3,000 a month to get all the food for the cats and dogs she has, plus has to account for vet bills. She told me if she doesn't raise money on a regular basis, she's going to run out of money in about 8 months..so like then what? Like what is she going to do then with those pets she does have? I shudder to think--I don't know how many dogs she has but she has over 70 cats and some rabbits and guinea pigs

This is very sad indeed. I am a cat lover. I have two beautiful cats. I dont live anywhere near that place, in fact I live in Australia. Our animal shelters have to routinely put down cats & dogs & I hate that. At Christmas time I found there was a no kill dog & cat shelter in the Adelaide Hills. I was so please3d to find out about this. I do hope another shelter can be found for cats & kittens at Sparta.

I so wish I was near there...I can't understand how a person could do this. It's another reason why ppl should spend the money and get their cats fixed. I pray that they all find homes. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~
