I've been really busy since the last time this thread was active. Little Sister went to a wonderful home, then I pulled a big blue Doberman and got him a great home in Michigan, then I had an amazing black and rust who is helping a girl dog who is terribly fearful get through her days. And last but not least, I had an owner turn in of a 7 year old Doberman that I gave to my Mom who was still grieving the loss of my father. Duke is helping my mom through the grief, doing an excellent job!

I can understand why factory farmers don’t want the public seeing images of their business practices. The images of almost featherless hens, so crowded the animals are living on top of each other, or pigs being struck with metal bars by workers coarsened to their duties are deeply disconcerting. The response should not be, as in some country ruled by a dictator or a junta, to have the strongmen grab the cameras and smash them to the ground or melt them in a fire, as the authorities do in order to hide the beating and shooting of pro-democracy advocates. It's the same principle at work for the strongmen in these state legislatures. Their scheme is a neater way to smash those cameras to the ground and hide what's going on. Ironically, they want to prevent their very own customers, America's consuming public, from learning about the production practices that bring food to their tables and plates.

1. ASPCA: Call toll-free 1-866-230-4259 or go online. They have a 30 day free trial. They have 4 levels of coverage that you can select that meet your needs and finances. Also, you can call them if you have a poison control problem.

2. CareCredit: Call toll-free 1-800-365-8295 or go online. This is more or less a credit card that carries a low to no interest payment plan. The xeroxed brochure I have really does not give too much info out other than that.

The Veterinary Memorial Fund at Virginia Tech...my vet did this for me when my last pet was put down. It is when people donate money to this fund in memory of a pet or for friends/family. It's mission is to advance medical care for all animals. It supports clinical research which improves the lives of our pets. You may send your support no matter what it is to:
Veterinary Memorial Fund at Virginia Tech
VMRCVM-0442

She's 4 months old, she totally has puppy breath and she's just a little tiny bit of awesome.

She's heading to the rescue on Tuesday.

Diavolo · 03-20-2011, 06:16 AM

I guess I should add that she was an owner turn in who is hanging out with us until Tuesday. I didn't breed her or give her up. I would never do either of those things!

Hi, everyone,

My friend Alice is someone who works to place cats in permanent homes. Cats with a less conventional gender presentation are, like us, more at risk for being mistreated. Thus she asked if I'd post at our site, as she wants to maximize the chances that this cat finds a loving, empathic forever home.

"INTERSEX CAT SEEKS WELCOMING HOME

Our differences make the world go round! My name is Bowie (yup, like David Bowie!) and I was rescued from the mean streets of Brooklyn this past April. When I went to be spayed the vet discovered I am a happy and healthy intersex kitty.

My anatomy includes a uterus, penis, undescended testicles, vagina, cute pink nose, loving eyes, adorable whiskers, a gorgeous set of chops, big lovable paws, and luxurious black and white fur that's nonstop! I am large and in charge at 14 beautiful pounds, and I'm one of the most sweet-natured, easygoing tuxedo kitties you will ever meet!

I would love to live in a home with at least 1 other cat, because I'm used to being around other cats, and I miss them! And since I am a self-sufficient type, I do not demand a lot of attention, but gladly accept it when offered. I won't be a lot of extra work, I promise.

In fact I'm still a little reserved with people, after spending the whole winter outside as a stray. But now, I'm inside and safe, and my foster dad has been bringing me out of my shell with scratches on the head and pets, which I LOVE. He just has to make the first move, and then I'm 100% mush! Then I follow him around a little bit, and we enjoy each other's company.

What makes me so great is that when you want my attention you can have it, but when you'd rather be left alone, I can do that too. I am a very mellow, easygoing cat. Would you give me a chance?"

If interested, please PM me or email the cat rescuer (my friend, Alice) directly at: alicealice5566@gmail.com
