yeah, i figured that you weren't making a black-and-white statement, but too many people DO: assuming that sanctuaries, big or small, SHOULD be open at all hours of the day, and that both the cats and the humans should welcome strange people showing up at all hours of the day! i'd still like to co

MC, That is what I mean, I wouldn't need the actual street address until I was sure I wanted to take the kitty there. General address to start is fine. But for me personally I would have to take the cat there and look at the place. I have only given cats up one time when my neighbor acr

In Reyna's situation, if she was able to bring the cat herself, Michael would gladly give her the address. But she isn't able to bring the cat from LA to Reno. So I'm working on transport. In a sanctuary situation (as opposed to a citizen non-rescuer adopter), you have to be careful about gi
