Someone Dropped Off Another Friendly Cat

Our local shelter is offering reduced rates on pets adopted from the shelter, and low income families!

A lot of the agencies that help people find low cost spay/neuter programs also offer reduced rate vaccinations and some places even have a free vaccination day where you can bring you pets in and get them at least the rabies and distemper shots. If it's at all possible, keeping your cats inside ill help them live longer and healthier lives.

All of my fur babies are allowed outside to roam. Well, the dogs have a huge fenced in yard but the cats can go any and everywhere they want to. I can't afford a cat fence.... maybe when I win the lottery. lol I guess I have to get father and son together to be neutered because I can't have them intact or they'll go out and make some more. I know of a place that's really cheap in doing it and thanks for that information!! Actually, Dreamer goes back and forth between my home and my neighbors, just that she doesn't know it yet and I was hoping she'd take him in to be fixed but it doesn't look like it so I'll have to. And I already have 9 cats Marti, no congrats needed but thanks.... I just didn't need any more but I certainly can NOT turn it away.

OMG--are you two talking about that ASPCA with that singer Sarah MacLalan's??? I found a YouTube video of it where she sings In The Arms Of an Angel Okay ladies....tissues out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_JqNdp2As

Oh gosh Opal, I have to change the channel when that commercial comes on because I just can't handle it. It's like acid to my conscience, it eats me up alive so I can't watch it if my life depended on it. Those sad eyes, one to another and another and the music and the words.... no way.

Yup.... that's the one. I can't watch that commercial it tears me apart!!

Your a brat Cats, your a sweetheart too. I failed to mention to you that I have two females with babies in their bellies. Its too late this time around. Thanks so much for wanting to help. Hey, you want some more kitties????

Polly, I'm serious about this now, call the human society or animal shelter and see how much they charge to have them fixed. They either do it free or on an offset cost so you can afford to have it done, they go according to what you get every month and I WILL SEND YOU THE MONEY via snail mail or if I figure paypal out, I'll send it by paypal. I'm serious and don't you dare turn me down! lol I'll spank your hiney!! lol

Tomorrow is Monday Polly.... I'll be waiting for that amount so don't forget to call and find out how much it'll cost to have your cats fixed. It's so important. Besides, the howling of a in heat female can drive a person bonkers!

That's so nice of you to say! Maybe there are more cat lovers than I first thought and gosh, it feels so good to know that!! Believe me, it's not me who's throwing these cats out, someone else is and they come here to be loved and for food and shelter which I will provide for them. I can not turn an animal away. I don't have the mean heart to do so.

I now have 10 cats, 2 need to be neutered, and 4 dogs, one needs neutering when he's old enough. I DON'T NEED ANYMORE!! lol But for the life of me, I can't turn any of them away or send them to any shelter because after all, they didn't ask to be born or to be put in the situation that they're in. Besides, if I were a cat, I'd hope someone would take me in, feed me and love me till my days end.

I agree with you I would do same as you do if I found a little puppy!!! cd

I have been away for almost 2 weeks due to troll attacks on me. I called them to take the dog if noone claimed it actually. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi Grandpa Bob!! Good to see you!! Where have you been hiding?! Hubby and I found a few dogs on the loose and luckily we were able to find their owners and return them. I haven't seen them since so they must've gotten stronger chains to keep them on. I couldn't call the shelter because I'd be afraid they'd be put to sleep but luckily in your case, the owner found him.

I guess I'm the cat lady of this neighborhood but that's ok, I love each and every one of them very dearly. They will all be cared for, that's for sure. We now give them their shots when they need it, all except for the rabies because it has to be done by a licensed veterinarian. I'll be taking father and son to the vet soon to be neutered because I certainly don't need anymore but I can NOT turn any of them away so if another were to come, it's found it's forever home.

People dropping their pregnant cats and unwanted kittens on someone's doorstep is how we got our latest, Booboo. Hubby went to go fix a customers car and she had like 30 cats and kittens due to people leaving them for her (knowing she'd do right by them) and she BEGGED him to take at least one, so he came home with Booboo (cat #7) for my anniversary gift. LOL

I'm still banging my head up against the wall..... 30 freaking cats?! Wow!! But at least they're with someone who loves them but I pray she's caring for them in shots too....

there's no way that you could've known, and if the fire hadn't taken place, the cat would've needed her teeth cleaned sorry about your cat and fiance'

You're right, I couldn't have known. I'm not a psychic but I was suppose to be there that night and wished I was because I feel I could've saved them all. Losing all three pets and my fiance' was more than I could bear at the time. It was like my whole life was erased because nothing and no body existed anymore. It was 18 years ago but it's still very close to my heart. Thanks Elic. Hugs!

I'm sure it did. I hate the idea of what you went thru.

I was happy to find out from the vet visit that Katie is in fact a purebred shihtzu I was just ticked that I was told her shots were all up to date and she hadn't even had one a day in her life! BUT since we've had her she has been spayed, and gets her yearly shots and check up! I do agree with spaying and neutering though. It's crazy how many unwanted, homeless, and sheltered pets their are now a days!

Oh I do know how you feel PurpleTeddyBear! Because I wanted another Chihuahua for my other one to have a companion and we found Missy but she didn't look pure bred but we loved her anyway and bought her. Well she's full grown now and so is her sister, Lady, that someone had bought for us instead of for himself like he made it seem and neither one look like a Chihuahua because their ears don't stand up at all. So all the money that was spent to get them only to find out that they weren't pure bred after all made us a "tad ticked off" too but, like you, we sucked it up and didn't say anything to the woman about it. Not that we wanted another cat, we were waiting for the numbers to dwindle down some so I could eventually get another siamese but I guess I won't for a good long time. However, for the life of me, I can NOT turn him away. He'll be fixed right along with his daddy.

I met a woman at a convenience store who said she knew of a place to get low or no cost spaying. She told me to come back and get the info from her, but I have forgetten. So I should do that. Especailly since I now have 3 MORE KITTENS!!! AAAHHHHRRRRRR!! But they are SO cute! Want one?

Wow! You're awesome!! Not many would contribute to the feral cats like you have and that's really awesome of you to do that!! I do feel for you though, being unemployed and having female cats in need of spaying.... oh gosh. Have you called the humane society about your plight? They may be able to help you in finding a place where you could take them to be fixed and not cost you anything. It's certainly worth a try!

Oh gosh, another unwanted litter. No I don't want or need any more cats. I have 10 of them already which is more than enough. Please do get that information and get them all fixed before they have any more. PLEASE!

All I know it's NOT easy AND expensive. One would need a lot of land, build housing areas, and NOT caged areas...what I envision are housing for say cats that are free roaming, have their own beds, condos to play in..the same type of set up could be done for dogs..though might have to do separate quarters according to breeds. The food expense is the pits..I know one pet rescuer that spends about $3,000 a MONTH on just pet food...then there are the vet costs...sheesh...lets hope we win mega million lottos...LOL

Ahhhhh dreaming the dream and wishing we could live it....

If you can find a way, I'm more than game to do it!! It's a long time dream of mine to do a rescue but I don't know where to go or how to start....

That man is an inconsiderate @ss!! What you could do is catch all the cats, as many as you can at any given time and take them to the no kill shelter so they could get the proper care that they all need including spaying and neutering so there's no more to add to the population. A cat and it's mate can produce so many kittens and the population grows and grows like this listing that I've found and that's if 2 kittens live, no imagine if all 4 to 8 live how much more there would be!! Please do something to help them! 1 year: 12 2 years: 67 3 years: 376 4 years: 2,107 5 years: 11,801 6 years: 66,088 7 years: 370,092 8 years: 2,072,514 9 years: 11,606,077

Wells thats what we do is catch them an take them to the no kill shelter an sorry to say the road killed alot of them an the county just came down an caught a bunchI think he is up to 6 left but you know that would still be alot more kittens if these 6 are not caught soon to an the thing is now he says they are not his cats an are telling everyone to catch them an get rid of them in other words he wants sommeone to clean his mess

Lazy no count SOB!!

Wow AngryKitty!! You're very lucky to have a husband like him!! Awesome!! I've got to tell you, when this lady called, hubby told her no it wasn't our cat but he's not much of an animal lover anyways which does bother me but he doesn't hurt them. When he got off the phone and described the cat to me, I screamed that's Dreamer!! Go get him BUT see if the lady wants to keep him then he can stay but if not bring him home. He came back with this cat that looks soooo much like Dreamer but it wasn't and hubby knew this so I was floored to see him bring this cat home KNOWING full well that it wasn't Dreamer!! I'm shaking my head thinking "What the hell just happened? Did my hubby have a change of heart?" In any case, I'm glad to see it because it means he does have a heart after all!! I'm falling in love again!! lol Dreamer isn't all my cat. He goes between me and another neighbor that's three houses down from me only the lady doesn't know he does this and I was hoping she'd get him fixed but she hasn't so it looks like father and son will be going in together and SOON!!

Ohhhh boy! You're in for a treat, aren't you? Payback's are hell! lol

Some animals know how to steal a heart, which apparently this one did to hubby! Even if he won't admit it, he probably misses Gracie too, and just fell in love with the little guy. My hubby and I deserve eachother, he keeps bringing them home and he KNOWS I'm not gonna say no! I did tell him that he needs to stop bringing them home, because we are over-run with pets here, but I know the next fuzzy face that rubs against his pant leg will find it's way into my home and my heart. We really are a couple of suckers! LOL FIVE of the seven cats were brought here by him in the ten years we've been together and he brought home dog number three, Oreo, who is an absolute menace (he ATE my dining room floor!) but he's cute and I love that big dumb dog. We already had MY pets when we met, the only thing I've added to the family are our children (and I had help in that department) and all the fish (three tanks!).But growing up I drove my mom nuts, as did my dad, bringing home every single stray that crossed our paths. She'd yell at us and say no way could we keep them, but in the end always let us keep them anyway. Now that I'm grown she confesses that she did the same thing to HER parents! I can only imagine what MY kids will be bringing home for us when they're older! LOL

I love it when cats are like that! It is almost time for the bunnies to be done too! Both at same time - wonder if they will ever forgive me! xxx

He's such a sweetheart! And a talker, whew! can he ever talk! lol But all he wants is some attention and love and I can provide that as well as food and water. I will have to have him and his daddy fixed and soon. I can't have them contributing to the over population.

Male cats need to be neutered before they're 6 months of age because that's when their instinct comes in to go prowling for females. I know this because a couple of veterinarians told me so I do my best to abide by that however, when strays show up at all different ages, I can't get them fixed by then because they're already past that age but still, they get fixed anyways. lol

That's what aggravates the hell out of me with the AKC Competitions, the show animals aren't spayed or neutered. It makes me wonder, why side are these idiots on?! Are we or are we not trying to get control of the over population? Besides that, most animals aren't pets but a "show" animal. They're not allowed to do a lot of the things dogs do which is wrong. Thanks but in truth, I didn't need another cat BUT I can NOT turn it away. I just couldn't do that to the little guy.

If you could have him, I'd give him to you because I have so many right now and really don't need to add more but I can not turn him away. I just can't do that because I have to put myself in his shoes and thinking of that, I wouldn't want someone to turn me away when I'm hungry and starved for love and attention.

That's wonderful news!! I'm so glad to hear another is responsible with their furry friends! It's the only way we'll get control over the animal population but not everybody agrees. If everybody pitched in a little here and a little there, there's so much work to be done still, we'll get on the other side of the tracks and finally get a hold of the over population. Thanks my friend!

You and your husband have wonderful and good hearts! I wish there were more of "us" around! Like you, I wish people would take responsibility for their animals and get them fixed and stop contributing to the over population. Gosh, all it takes it a little bit of money and a lot of love and consideration and we could get control of this. Bless your hearts for being so kind!
