In regards to finding homes for the cats at Angel Wings, my contact
says:
"If it is a good foster, I don't care where it is! I just hope we can
get them all. We got the 6 last night, and one is at least 10 (guess)
years old and one has FIV. Some of these would be definite euth candidates
if the shelter seizes them. Heck I sure don't mind a few old or FIV
cats! I personally am not set up to handle any FeLV cats tho.
The sanctuary is in Kingston, TN, which is outside of
Knoxville. "
So they managed to get 6 cats out, I have replied to her asking her
how she managed that, and will let you guys know. I asked her about what
arrangements can be made for any FELV+ and FIV+ cats, and am waiting to hear
back on if they can go anywhere for a few days to a week until transport to
foster homes is arranged, waiting to hear back on that too. Like she said, all
we can do is hope that the authorities will turn the cats over to rescues, and
not to the city, because if they do, the city will immediately kill all FIV+ and
FELV+ cats, even though their owners placed them at this place for sanctuary.
PLEASE, if you know of anyone who may have taken a cat there, they need to get
in contact with these people right away, to reclaim their cat! I also asked her
if the city shelter there does humane euthanasia, or if it stills has a gas
chamber (many backwoods small towns still gas them to death). Is there any other
info I should ask of her? Is anyone willing to take a
cat? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life. Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up until she earns a free can of formula! PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil! If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing address
you can send them to, to help feed Bazil!
