Update On The Cat Situation Down the Hall

That's good news. Hopefully they can find good homes for all of them soon!

Those poor kitties. It always amazes me that people can end up with so many cats and think they're doing something good.

I'm glad. Both cats and people deserve better than he was doing.

Good to hear.

Keep in mind that these cats were originally dumped on this man by a neighbor who was evicted. She didn't know what to do and had lost her job and had no means of support. She tried to get help but unless you have children, you can't get help if you're a single woman. It's really a hard place to be in. If I didn't have family and friends who helped me out when I was out of work, I probably would have ended up on the street or in a shelter a year and a half ago.

This man took these cats in when no one would and he didn't have money or transportation to get them fixed so he did the best he could. Just as I've done my best to help him.

I think it's real easy to pass judgment on situations when you haven't been there. And, unfortunately, a lot of people in the animal rescue business are very pushy and judgmental and they end up pushing away the very people who need help. They come on so strong that people in need would rather just not deal with them. I've run into this over and over again as I've needed to place abandoned animals. These rescue people become so obsessed helping animals that they forget that they need to consider the people involved as well. From my experience, these people deal with animals because they don't have a clue how to deal with people.

If the rescue organizations would start having a little compassion for people's situations instead of judging and condemning and criticizing them, we'd have a lot more cooperation from people who need to get their animals fixed and a lot less population of unwanted animals.

You are doing a good thing. A pat on the back for you. I somehow wound up with 7 cats. Well 4 cats and 3 kittens. I had a ton more, but was very fortunate to find homes for the other 12 kittens! I would have brought them to a shelter, but was pretty lucky. The 7 I have now, is too much, but I am managing. 5 I want, 2 I could do without, but hey, as long as they go to the vet, get fixed, have food and clean living conditions, they are mine. What can you do?

It's so good of you to make this kind of effort. In a day where people spend their time on computers and cell phones, it's easy to become estranged from other people.
Even when I worked with the local Humane Society, we had one of those super-diligent foster homes. She pushed away a lot of potential adopters and volunteers both.
I'm proud of you.

Thank you for posting this to the Here kitty kitty!!!
