it costs over $100 to cremate an animal here on
Long Island. I don't know of any vet that will just take a dead animal for no
money. I can imagine the same $ charge in NJ. I also cannot
even imagine how adrift many of the kittykind volunteers and foster homes feel
right now. Hopefully someone in the group is well informed/experienced enough to
regroup and get the currently fostered animals permanent homes.
(does it sound funny to say that while I volunteer
for a rescue group I really never wanted any human contact with them because I
felt many were borderline crazy--I would just go pick up the kittens/cats that
needed fostering and bring them back when there was openings. Also I knew if I
stuck around the shelter, I would get conned into other chores/duties).
Also because my dad was in advertising, he always
always warned me never ever believe everything I read in print. I did not see
any televised broadcasts of the seized animals but I know how newspapers and tv
news distorts information for ratings. If I were involved with kittykind I'd be
calling those same tv newspeople and asking for airtime to show the healthy
foster animals still needing homes.
