Unfortunately, as has been proven by a few cruelty cases here in Texas, giving away pets on Craigslist is a recipe for disaster. Case in point (no, I will not post the article here) but there was a man in San Antonio who appeared to be loving and caring, he "adopted" three free cats from CL and all there of their lives ended in a horrible fashion. I have been in rescue for over 15 years, I have seen what lies beneath the and I have seen what unimaginable cruelty people are capable of. Sorry to get off topic here with these posts and I know that many of you are not in rescue but what has been seen cannot be unseen and what I now know can never be forgotten. As to Nathan Winograd, my only objection to his book is him saying there is no pet overpopulation problem. I have a house full of cats that prove otherwise. Anyone who has TNR'd a feral colony would argue otherwise and I have one cat in my house that I have marketed the cr*p out of but I have not gotten one hit on her. There IS a pet overpopulation problem and no-kill begins with NO BIRTH. Okay, I will get off my soapbox now. Again, my apologies for getting off topic. Edna Taylor Texas Siamese Rescue
