I have three beautiful fur babies, Taffy, a grey tabby who is 6, Geeker, a tortie who is 5, and Winkie, a huge orange guy who is 3. All three of them are rescues. For many years I have worked with a cat rescue, and I always have extra little ones in my foster home. I am fortunate that I have a seperate building for my fosters that is heated, air conditioned, and has a stero that is on all the time. I also have two isolation rooms for the sick babies that come to me. I have had the opportunity to work with a Vet, in clinic and in surgery. Fostering is almost a full time job, last year I had 97 cats and kittens come into my care. Every cat/kitten is tested for feline leukemia, recieves shots, is wormed, treated for fleas and spayed/neutered before it leaves our care, and goes to a home of it's own. Since retiring I have really found my place in the world, just helping all those little ones that have been abandoned or unwanated.

Please SPAY & NEUTER. No more kittens should come into this world until every one that is here now has a home of it's own.

Hi & welcome to TCS!
Bless your heart for taking care of so many...that's an amazing number. I almost jumped off a bridge after fostering 18 feral cats & kittens over a few months. I can't imagine the numbers you're talking about!

Dear CatLady4:

You're an angel and a sister of the heart!
THANK YOU for your devotion to felinekind, and for your important message on your post, which I just can't comprehend anyone who loves cats not following -- ah, well, there's no knowing with a lot of people, is there?


Your cats sound wonderful and I hope we get to see some photos sometime (the Sticky's at the top of the page of posts gives the site requirements and instructions).
Look forward to seeing you all here, and hope to chat!

Thank you so much for all that you do for these poor babies - from the home of 5 spayed/neutered babies. It's great that you are spreading the message of how important spay/neutering is!

I'm sure you are feeling quite welcome by now- looking after stray cats must be rewarding but it isn't something everyone has a temperament for. I feel you'll be purrfectly at home here at TSC...

I agree SO much with your statement about neutering/spaying kittens

O Silent Nate and Radar:

Radar must be kin to my Tarifa, who loves "skywalkin'" on our living room recessed-lighting soffit. I'd post a pic, but I can't as I have dialup and have been unsuccessful in the past. Anyway, just wanted to admire Radar and thank you for championing spay/neuter -- IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
