Title: Message

Thank you so much for your kindness. The going was tough the last 2 days and my tears have been many. We are a small beach community and today the winds have been 60mph with lots of flooding. I haven't seen any of the cats today and I wish they were warm and dry. It makes me sad to think that I cannot find help for them anywhere. Your kindness has helped a great deal.

Simon Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 4:51 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: NJ feral group Dear Nina, Thank you so much for your kind email. I am just so sad and have been crying like a fool for 2 days now. It just breaks my heart about these babies and I have tried so many things to no avail. I have even asked for help from people on Petfinder. No one is interested.   I have 2 girls who come everyday at 11am. Sometimes they bring friends. I am just so very sad. It is a small poor beach community, so everyone is gone for the winter. I wish I could bring these girls inside and adopt them, but they seem to feral to me. I don't have high hopes. There are probably 40 more who need help.   Everyone has great suggestions but they all take money! I am only one person.I have even simply asked for scrap wood, scrap strofoam, straw, old dishes or bowls, never money and still no one will help. I even had one person suggest that people wouldn't help because I am not affiliated with a rescue group! Well, that is a catch 22, there is no rescue group down here. That is the point of my posts, to find help. My reply is simply,"If you can donate or help the cats with needed supplies, just put it out in the marshland. You don't need me to do it. Just drive down and pitch in."   Sorry to vent, but I am so very frustrated at people's apathy these days. I just wish someone would care. Thank you for caring and for listening.

I do not have any idea how many are ill, but I am not seeing any symptomatic cats.   Can you refer me to anyone who might be willing to help in NJ? I am simply a homeowner/pet lover who lives here and I can no longer pretend that I do not see their suffering. I would like to have someone knowledgable about ferals to teach me how to bring attention to their cause and find them some help. I have contacted everyone I can think of and have read all that I can find on the subject. However, how does one person find funding and supplies to begin to help these cats?   Thank you for your time. Most Sincerely, Renee Simon =00 IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
