Thanks katie, I am sending you a pm.

Hello all! I am currently fostering the most loveable and affectionate cat I have ever seen. I wish I could keep her, but I do not have the time nor the money to give her what she deserves. I rescued her from a place that has some dogs who are quite unfriendly to cats. She loves to be around...

another voting for no children. At least I really don't want them now. I am 22 and I sure do have plenty of time to change my mind, but I have never had a desire to have children. Already some of my girl friends are talking about children. That's weird. OR, what it even worse! Both my mom and my...

I had a female cat who never purred, but it did not mean she was unhappy. I think purring differs from one cat to another.

one who is open to new people I suppose, and of course lovey (not to be interpreted as needy). The cat I used to have was very loving towards me, but would run away at the site or sound of someone new... or really anyone else other than me. While I am honored to have been his person, in the...

So, I hope to be adopting a cat in the near-ish future. In the past when I adopted my dog as a puppy I did my own variation of a personality test, it worked really well, but I think consistent training was also a key factor in how my dog developed. Anyway, I was wondering if there are any ways...

excellent point, CDubbie. thank you.

Yup! Horses have been the only thing to keep my interest for any significant period of time. I started riding when I was nine. Lost the support of my parents halfway through highschool so for the last 6 years I have been catching whatever rides I could, working in a barn whenever I can. I just...

I thought I would add my bio to the thread. I am graduating from Appalachian State University on Sunday, May 7th. I am very excited about that. I am a Broadcasting Major and an Art minor (simply because I love art and wanted a creative outlet). I was the Sales Director and Station Manager over...

thanks, Squirtle!

Middletown, than you for your very thoughtful posts. I will be calling around to get a feel for the shelters in my area (and pming TNR1). As I will only have one day off, and that one day to volunteer (unless volunteers can work after 6pm), I know that each week I would go back to see cats and...

thank you for all the great responses!

thanks so much for your replies. I know it is a very touchy subject. If I were to work at a kill shelter it would only be too help the endangered animals be adopted, and maybe to somehow keep them alive longer. However, that may just be chasing a dream and I could see my heart being broken if it...

I am thinking about volunteering my time at a shelter while I adjust to my new work schedule and while I have no animals of my own. I think I have a need to care for some animal which is why I want to volunteer. Now I am wondering where my help would best be needed. Are kill shelters that way...

thank you everyone! I won't start my work until June 1st so it is/will be a hard wait. I am also thinking of volunteering my time with a shelter in the meantime (and longer) to help out the furry creatures.

Hi all! I am in the middle of a big transition in my life - graduating college and moving into the "real world." There are very few years in my life when I can remember not having a cat of my own. I hope in the coming months to rescue one or two cats, but not until after I settle into my new...
