You see, I saw his email saying that too, about us "hoarders" going to shelters and taking all the cats and then selling them for profit and might I just ask "what effing planet are you from dude?" I have been involved in rescue for over 17 years and every year, I have the receipts to prove that we have spent upwards of $5,000 to $10,000 on fosters and that doesn't even include the litter, food, paper towels, weeks that I got up every two hours to bottle feed a baby only to have her pass because she was just too far gone when I got her. THEN, I ask ONLY an $85 adoption fee so you want to tell me where all this money is I am making? How much do you sell your cats for? Thousands? So, yea "SCR*W YOU! YOU are the one breeding your cats for profit, while I am the one picking up their broken little bodies off the streets when people grow weary of having a pet and simply toss them aside. Oh, and I don't HAVE to be nice to someone who immediately starts in with his "YOU PEOPLE" attitude when HE is the problem, not rescuers, we try to solve the problems HE creates.
Off my soapbox now ;) Edna (I calls em as I sees em) Taylor Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 06:48:23 -0700 From: create_me_...@yahoo.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Charles Adams - Breeding cats Charles offered to take the cat. I have vet references, personal references, & shelter references. I currently have 4 Feline Leukemia positive cats. 2 are foster cats for the shelter I work with. The other 2 were found by friends of mine. Sorry you think I am a bone-head jerk, who goes to shelters, pulls animals, & resells them for a profit. Yeah, I wish...Most of the animals we pull from animal control end up costing us 3 or 4 times what we end up getting in adoption fees. We do it for the love of the animal. And many of these animals are purebreds.In fact some of the worst cases be have taken on have been purebred cats & retired breeding cats. If you aren't making money on these cats, why are you doing it??? There are plenty of Bengals out there already looking for homes. A friend of mine just got one someone was looking to rehome. I challenge you to work jut one day at a shelter & see what we go through for these abandoned animals. Animals who are only there because people were too bone-headed to spay & neuter.

I have been taking very good care of this beautiful girl. I have a cage for her litter box and food but the door is left open and she comes and goes as she pleases. Now as for your comment about people viewing my message through colored glasses let me clarify that for you. They not looking through colored glasses they are viewing it with their heads up their asses. Bunch of jerks. My cats are treated better than lots of children and I love them and they are part of my family. I don't know who some of these jerks think they are. Last I recall I didn't get a message from God informing me he left anyone a God and ruler of the cat population on this planet.

It may be comforting to think it's all a joke, but this is exactly the way breeders are, so I think you're looking at this post thru rose colored glasses. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
