Since most of us involved in rescue are already overwhelmed in dealing with situations in our own communities, I wouldn't normally post about something like this. That said, I offered to spread the word about an urgent local cat situation and, if nothing else, request some of the powerful TCS vibes for the cats/people involved.
A couple of weeks ago, 30+ cats/kittens were found abandoned in rural house. The conditions were terrible and most of the cats/kittens needed vet care. Two rural county shelters planned to shoot the cats if they had been brought there. Fortunately, a local group, the Pet Alliance, is now coordinating the rescue effort and vet care. Most of the cats/kittens are tame, have since been fixed and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. The problem is a lack of space to foster these cats, so the Pet Alliance is in desperate need of foster homes and/or adopters. Transport can be arranged.
If anyone is interested in helping in any way, please PM me and I'll get you more info. Most of all, please send major vibes that efforts to help the cats are successful. I know this situation isn't unique, but felt compelled to post about it since I know some of the folks involved and can vouch for their efforts and dedication.
Thanks!
