I already have picked out a no kill shelter. All my people have to do is transport my pride there. I have made provision for their expenses for transportation and the rest goes to the shelter. They have houses with reglar furniture for the cats to sleep on and outdoor areas fo them also. Most of my friends/family I have left are almost as old as I am and dumping seveal cats on them is asking a bit much. A good shelter that taks FELV babies is the answer. It may not be the same as home, but I think it is the solution for them. ---- Natalie <at...@optonline.net> wrote: > That's very nice of you - I wish more people would care for their relatives' > pets....every day, there's a notice or phone call about someone's > mother/father, aunt/uncle either dying or moving to assisted living, and > every time it sounds almost like blackmail: If someone doesn't take this > cat/dog, I'm either going to throw it outside or bring it to a shelter, > mostly kill shelters!
