an idea - tell me what you think

(I also posted this at the S.O.S forum, I hope you don't mind)

I wanted to do a weekly updates of how many cats were adopted this week in the cat's shelter. If any of you work or volunteer in a shelter, maybe you can post a nice update for how many cats (or even dogs) found a new home this week! Sometimes there are really nice stories involving adoptions.

There are currently 557 cats looking for a home on the Cat's Welfare Society of Israel, and new ones are arriving every day... (people abandon cats there on a daily basis - or brining in kittens they can't look after).

Personally I am very moved every time someone adopts a cat

Today (I just came back) - a wonderful family adopted our ginger lady, which was looking for a home for a couple of months now!!! I was besides myself!

Yesterday a cat named Sharona was adopted - a beautiful Black & White cat, that has a mask like "Zoro"... She's a purry little princess, and I was almost crying to see her go. But it was happy she found a nice home.

Are you interested in hearing more?...

oooo I like that idea!!!!


I am a sucker for good stories, especially if they make me shed happy tears! Inspiring stories are really great! Excellent Idea, and I, for one, am very interested in hearing more!

Oh Cassie... I am very much like you on that...

Even on the worst days, you can make me happy with a pet story! I tend to leak (cry) when I see "animal rescue" shows...

I would love to share some heartwarming stories from thw shelter (I will try to spare you from the heartbreaking ones).

Once I get a chance to scan some pictures, I will show them here as well!!!

I think it's a great idea - something to cheer everyone up. I imagine the current economic situation in Israel has forced a lot of people to give up their pets, so it's good to hear that people are still adopting shelter animals.

nunny, this is a great idea. It's so nice to hear about rescues. Laurie and Christie (two of our members..Laurie is also a moderator) have a rescue site you might enjoy visiting.
