Scooter has FeLV

Oh no how horrible, I am broken hearted for you and scooter, Please keep us informed
I couldn't even look at those pictures those people should just be shot, this just make me sick, I can't beleive people can do that to them.
I think about not just myself but all the other wonderful careing people that try and make a differance and then this, it's so very very sad and sick

Oh hon! Is there any way that you can find out anything for sure about what happened to him? {{{HUGS}}} for you, you did what you thought was best for him at the time!

Thanks for your support. The photos are on a separate page and there are lots of warning signs around the button that takes you to that page, so you can read about Angel Wings without seeing any upsetting pictures.

I have sent the investigators information about Scooter and about the big bucks I donated to Ange Wings. They are also investigating the sanctuary for fraud, so the owner may have taken my money and done something other than use it to care for Scooter. (I gave her enough money to cover food and vet care for at least a year.)

Cindy,

They are going to post Scooter's picture and description on the Angel Wings Lost and Found page to see whether they can get any feedback about him.

Thanks for your support.

Oh God Renae! What a horrible situation! My heart just cries for Scooter and the other kitties who had to live in that filth.

Oh no Renae, how unsettling- if you have seen the photos- did you see him among any of the cats? Oh God, this just makes me so sick. We had a similar incidence happen with someone who listed on another website- about two months after they listed their retirement home for cats, they were closed down due to abuse! You be kind to yourself and please let us know if you find out about dear Scooter. You would never knowingly put a cat into such a situation so just remember that-


Hugs

The cat in the basket in the "bedroom" photos looks an awful lot like scooter. I hope that he is well.

I went back and checked the photo of the cat in the bedroom. It did not have enough white on it to be Scooter. sigh.

I am SO sorry for your Scooter. In 2001, I drove a young foster kitty, Callie, who was FeLV+ and had 5 stillborn babies at my house, down to Angel Wings, thinking that she would have a good home for life. I'm terribly saddened to hear of the allegations surrounding that place and only hope that precious Callie died naturally before things went downhill. It was real decent when I took her there ...

I hate to hear of another person who trusted her with your cats, but am glad that things there seemed okay when you were there as well. I don't feel quite so guilty knowing that someone else was there and felt okay leaving their cat under her care.

Oh this is so sad.

ohno this is just awful - I havent clicked on the link, but I dont need to do that... my thoughts are with all the kitties that went to this place

please let us know if you hear of anything about sweet Scooter or any news on the place...

my heart goes out to them all

Oh Renae, I am so, so, so sorry to hear about this! Of course MA's right. You would never knowingly put a cat in such a situation - and obviously things were being done right as it was a nice place when you - and others - were there. I'm so sorry for whatever it was that caused this, but you must not and cannot blame yourself.

Why did I look at the photos? I am sobbing.

Renae - I wish I could come down there and hug you. And stop on the way back home stop and let Gary teach whoever's responsible a lesson.

I can't even imagine what you are going through. That is such an unbelievable violation of your trust and the trust of others. I can't imagine how this place can still be open and allowed to operate! Those pictures made me bawl. I hope you are able to find Scooter, or at least know that he wasn't subjected to that kind of treatment.

I have just found out from a listserve I'm on that the place in question, Angel Wings Sanctuary in Tennessee, was closed down 3 days ago.
There are people working to save the cats that were found there alive. If I hear anything more, I'll share it with you.

Oh Thank God, I hope they find all of that were there ok

Click here to read an update on what is happening with Angel Wings. You can find pictures of many of the recovered cats by clicking on the "found" link. I didn't find Scooter in any of the pictures. And, many of the rescued cats look so awful. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

Renea, there's nothing that I can say, no words to express the way that I feel, and how I know you must feel...but {{HUGS}} hon, and more prayers too.

That was difficult to read, but thank you for sending it, Lotsocats. I do not see Callie's picture among those on the site. I'm scouring my fosters' photos (I really MUST organize them!) to find a picture of her to send in. I actually hope she died naturally before everything fell apart at AW. She was FeLV+. What a horrible fate for all those poor, innocent cats. I'm still in a state of disbelief that it got so bad at AW. : :
