It's ALWAYS good to keep things civil between rescues and rescuers. You know the saying, keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer? Well, we should all try to work together in our own areas of expertise and our own directions in the rescue world, because we ALL want to achieve the

Hi,   I'd really rather not say, that's why I took the name out of everything.  Like it or not rescue is a small community, and if at all possible I'd rather things remain civil between their group and mine.  I don't care for a lot of the things they do, but they have rescued a very, very large num

Well, that's one crappily run "rescue", sounds more like a group of people getting together to pull cats from a kill shelter to "save" them, with no PLAN. I've seen it many times, but most don't even bother trying to pull off considering themselves a "rescue". There's another name for that, i

Heh.  Well, let me tell you what happens in this rescue, which does not have a shelter, but is a network of foster homes.   We have a Yahoo group.  Pictures and bios of the cats are posted on the Yahoo group.  If someone can take the cats they speak up.  If no one can take the cats people will try

Not all rescues have a "shelter."  In fact, many operate with a series of foster homes.  Nonetheless, the rescue has an obligation to take those cats back at any time.  Any decent rescue will be aware of this.  Don't take on more than you can handle in your own home in an emergency.  If the other f

Why did you take on TWENTY SIX foster cats?! Let me get the details right... in a normal rescue/foster relationship, you would get a call from the rescue group, asking you to please foster a cat. You would pick the cat up from the shelter, and a foster plan would be formed at that time. You a
