Last year I adopted a cat for a year for my Dad for Christmas. I hung the picture of the animal on his refrigerator.
This year with the 5 or more ferals and a kitten out back it is costing me a small fortune. Their shelter, the igloo and blankets and beds, wet and dry food, cat milk. They are my financial focus for right now. And I also need to trap them soon and take each to the vet which ranges from 50$ to 85$ dollars a cat to be neutered or spayed, all shots, deworming, any medical care. And god forbid if they have feline aids or leukemia they put them to sleep so they do not infect the rest of the colony. For gifts this is a great site>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/c...faces?siteId=3 And just by clicking on their site daily sponsers pay for food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary. |
I also use GoodSearch, where you can designate a charity and each time you search something, a small donation goes to that charity.

I have to take patrol over again in my neighborhood now that my critter trapping companion is expecting a baby. |
I finished some shopping up on The Animal Rescue Site and..."Your purchase will give or help:
70.0 bowls of food" How awesome is that!!! More things in this world should be Win Win. |

if the weather is bad where you are- very cold- a simple and very warm/durable/inexpensive house for outside animals can be made from a large styrofoam cooler turned upside down. cut a hole in one size, and shipping tape/secure the top [which will be on the bottom if this will create a larger inside space]. for easy clean up, place a large liner of some sort on the bottom- tarp, vinyl, or plastic. photo: http://www.our-happy-cat.com/feral-a...or-winter.html |
I am seeing an ungodly amount of animals being sold on craigslist, about 95% of them are from BYB's or people who can't take care of their animals anymore but the other 5% percent are legit rescues and shelters.
This is very unsetteling to me. Anyone else find this appaling? |
NotAnAverageGuy, :stillheart:
I think it is horrible to sell any animal on Craigslist or Ebay or any list for that matter. I just cannot imagine anyone doing something like that. It is just beyond my comprehension. Some people should never get pets. I believe that all animals have souls. I could careless what anyone says about that. I believe that. They are a creation from God, and to be respected as such. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.:dogwalking::bigladybug::playingcat::bal lcat::goat::floatbee: Peace. :dog: |

You know I don't think this is the first time they've been recalled. This company has had trouble. It's hard to find a good pet food these days. I use to use Wellness Core and switched to Taste of The Wild. It turned out to be better and cheaper. When you have as many dogs as I do it's expensive to feed everyone but its even more expensive to have huge vet bills. I'm thankful I don't have many vet bills. |

I think it sucks yet at the same time I have found excellent homes for animals I adopt out but i take extra steps and make sure they are going to a good home. I follow up and give them the option to bring the dog back should things not work out. I have 2 adorable kittens that need homes if anyone is looking for sweet indoor cats. |

I use Taste Of The Wild as well. Works much better for my dog. her coat is so much softer, she sheds less and umm not to be gross but she poops less and more firm. Seems like its easier for her to digest

It is annoying. I cruise CL every day several times a day looking for ads to flag. People just get smart and dont put a rehoming fee price on their ads they just list what they have and say contact me for more details rehoming fee applies. I have seen people on there too report others they know who just got a dog from them for free or small fee only to resell it on CL. Its hard its annoying but I still go in there several times a day to "police" what I can

I just don't understand why corporate ppl think it's ok to get away with hurting animals. It isn't. It's wrong. We all know it is.
I just shake my head. What is this world coming too? |
IAMS tests on animals, makes me sick
Belle, how long does change take when it comes to things like BARC? |
Alot of the cosmetics and perfume/cologne companies do so as well.
Medical schools also train doctors on animals. I am not sure if the animals are living at the time. I just enjoy animals. They are my companions in life. I would be lost without them. |

New Puppy
I got a new puppy on Dec 13th from the aspca. She is 3 months old, a lab/shepard mix. 5 days later she had what I thought was a cold. Took her to the vet, and the vet says she either has kennel cough, or Distemper..but she cant tell which becouse if she tests her now, she will turn up postive since she was just vaccinated. Vet gave her some meds, but she's done with them now, and still sick. Eyes have discharge, nasal discharge,sneezing, occasional coughing still. Her appetite isnt very good, not drinking much water, but eliminating fine..no loose stool. She has a follow up visit tomorrow, but I"m wondering if there is something more the vet can do. I hope it's not distemper..I'll just die.
Advice? How do I get her to eat? I've been fixing boiled chicken and rice for her, which she eats some of..but trying to get her to drink more water. |
