Just a quick note to say that there were 2429 comments in May (plus 4 days of June) which converts to $121 (USD) at 5 cents per comment.
The figures are:
- 34303 comments at beginning of May
- 36732 comments at 4th June (sorry I was late in counting the comments).
If anyone would like to propose a worthy cat charity to receive $121 or £72 it would be great.
Thanks once again for your wonderful support in keeping the site going.
Any particular reason for this sudden surge of unwanted cats?
Whoever is fine, I don’t really know any of them, but I do like the sound of the one Cindy said. It is nice if maybe it could be split between them all.
Omg i cannot believe that. I did not witness any of that while i was volunteering there. I witnessed them refusing to take animals because they were full but never calling a shelter to take them. When where you there to see or know this ? I am upset !
Take a look at this. 100 kittens and cats turned in for one day. Shelter is scrambling for fosters. I’ve been writing myself to death trying to do a profile on every cat. http://www.examiner.com/article/greenville-shelter-scrambles-to-help-the-100-cats-and-50-dogs-turned-monday
I didn’t want to upset you, Ru.
The Marion County branch of the Humane Society sponsors many fundraisers to elicit donations and do well. When supplies are low, they always have the option of calling up their god, The Humane Society of the United States.
I was a contributor until about 5 years ago when I learned some things I never knew.
Yes, they are no kill. However, when they are over capacity and animals keep coming, they call the county shelter to retrieve some in order to relieve their burden. So, in that way they can still maintain their no kill status. They just let someone else do the killings.
I have seen their food supply get low since i went in the back to get a few items i needed so i know they are in need many many times throughout the year. Yes they do get large donations from some but the amount of animals they take care of takes the supplies pretty quickly so you cannot say they are not hurting in the least.Monet for such a shelter like that goes fast. You are saying they kill animals there ? I have not seen it there where i volunteered. I think if it happens it is for animals that have been hit by cars and in such bad shape and pain that they wont make it or sick and dying with nothing that can do to help them. NO healthy animals are killed there ! I have seen cats missing eyes, limbs, etc but they are up for adoption. Also cats that have been there since kittens are now old cats . They are not killed to make room. They live their life there unless they get adopted. I agree give to those who need the it the most.
