We were in the process of lowering the ceilings.. but the cats decided they wanted to get up into the ceiling..so we've got to figure something else out. The wires, for the most part, are all tiedd up there, but some have become loose and our electrician is supposed to come sometimes today to redo that for us.

I noticed a lot of dishes with dry food

You must be fuming

I remember climbing up into the ceiling last Christmas to drag out a feral kitten that banged out a ceiling tile to get up there

That video, and the stupid commentary, really p*ssed me off. I kept waiting to see the abuse, the empty dishes, the filthy litter boxes, and the feces on the floor. If all these problems were out there in the open, why didn't the camera capture them? The commentary was moronic---"we have it on good authority" and "probably" this and "probably" that.
I would be so burned up about this; I hope you can file some sort of charges against the "concerned citizen" that defamed the owner this way.
Don't let this get you down; I read a lot of the comments on youtube and was surprised to see that others picked up on the inconsistencies in the video, too.

My previous cat used to get up into the basement ceiling all the time... It was not really a problem until she became older (harder time getting back down.) When that happened we stopped letting her go in the basement.

yeah this is just disgusting. Someone that is so generously spending a huge chunk of her life helping these poor animals is being challenged from it? It's shameful.

Just remember, God will only challenge you to a level you can withstand. But He will test you. Trust me, I know that feeling right now. Just remember each day is a new opportunity

Whoever made this video is a low life, who has nothing to do, and wants to take money from people who dedicates their lives to help others, and animals. It's not even worth it discussing it. Is this guy going to save all the cats? Or just euthanize them for a buck? Times like this makes you feel ashamed of being a human being. Too bad we live in a society with this kind of people. Too bad and too sad - the world would be much better off if people like him got a life.
I see nothing wrong with your shelter, and didn't see anything the guys was talking about to be true... I mean, crowded room???
Also: Bonnie doesn't have the right to have a couch or a bookshelf? This is craziness! Does he realize that to serve other people you need to be living, eating, etc??? AHHHHH! This video made me SO mad!!!
Good Luck to you; I wouldn't say anything anymore on YouTube though... Especially if you are going to seek legal help - these people are ugly, and you never know what they will do with the information you have posted in there...
I think ALL of us need to start flagging this video as DANGEROUS - because that's what it is!

i flagged it earlier today as harmful.

Wow, you must be jumping out of your own skin right about now. Sitting back and hearing someone say such untrue horrible things

That guy needs to seriously get a life.

Thank you everyone for flagging it and your kind words.

I am honestly trying to stop. But when I see someone sayign somethign so STUPID. I cna't help it. I'm not responding to everything anymore.. just the things that were really bothering me.

I agree - you gotta stop going there - we are all on your side... There will always be dumb people no matter what!! Don't respond it - you are just throwing wood in the fire.

leto86 · Nov 26, 2008

Obviously this person has some serious issues againt Bonnie. Which would be hard to figure out.

I've closed my youtube tab and my email so it stops messaging me when someone replies to one of mt comments.

We are talking to the laywer tomorrow and the police again.. so hopefully everythign will be okay again soon.
I just really hope the animals don't suffer because of this.

babywukong · Nov 27, 2008

Okay, I stopped watching halfway because I was getting SO sick of the guy's dramatic sighs.

Bonnie, you go get em! I think your shelter looks just the way a shelter should look - plenty of open space. The cats look happy, content and healthy, that's the most important of all. I don't know what this guy's problem is.

I'm going to go right back to the link now and flag it!

icklemiss21 · Nov 27, 2008

Spending money on lawyers instead of cats sucks too

fastnoc · Nov 27, 2008

Very true, but I also can't help but think how this dedication and unselfishness will repay itself 10 fold in the future.

I really believe in Karma

libby74 · Nov 27, 2008

What I noticed about this video right away was how calm the cats were. Apparently, they're used to human contact and are treated well.

leto86 · Nov 27, 2008

Here's a video I took of the same rooms almost two years ago. Before we started renovating the building. You'll see a lot of different things, walls that are still closed up, wall where there is now a window. And Jake following me from start to finish.

A lot less cats too. That was right before kitten season hit.

The office is now the room I started with, and the old office, the one I finished with is the one he was looking into at the beginning of the video.

EDIT: Forgot to add the link. T_T Too tired.

Moz · Nov 27, 2008

I haven't read the rest of the thread, but here are my thoughts on the video:

LOL - they say the "food boxes have little to no food." Stop the video at 2:41. I can see plenty of food. I fail to see feces on the floor. The cat that was "not breathing" appeared to be sleeping. My smell-o-vision doesn't work, so I can't tell whether or not the place has a "disgusting" smell. Whoever made this video is a moron with a personal vendetta.

Also: the cats are kept in "cramped" areas? Yeah right. Those rooms look HUGE. The guy himself says the building is 9000 square feet. Yeah, sounds cramped and tiny to me.

And what's so weird/bizarre/revolting about sick cats being kept from healthy cats? The shelters in my city does that, as well as the vets. That seems like common sense to me: keep the sick cats from the healthy cats so the healthy cats don't get sick. Duh.

Apparently, I abuse animals.
