Well there are many new members who may not know... but Anne frequently posts headlines about cats in the news. One in particular really got a lot of us hot under the collar. A journalist wrote about a cat he called Osama bin Laden.
IT WASN'T FUNNY. Anne posted the link to the article in the Feral Forum, and many members took it from there. That journalist was inundated.
Anyway, to make a long story short, we helped make arrangements to have the cat rescued (in Amarillo, TX
). Two of us (okeefecl - Christy) and myself decided to create a website dedicated to rescue. Out of that grew a whole other project related to conducting research in order to create a presentation to change local animal control laws to support Trap-Neuter-Release programs (as opposed to euthanisation) and to support low-cost spay/neuter programs State-wide and Nationwide. That site is called www.straypetadvocacy.org - but it isn't up yet, although Christy, Heidi, Kass and myself are hard at work conducting the research - to FIND the relevant research and links for that site. Cross your fingers it should only be a couple of weeeks away now....
But www.savesamoa.org is UP!!! It's been up since December... but Heidi took on the task of creating a more professional looking site... and she did it!!! I think she did a fabulous job, and please go take a look!!! She really deserves congrats for such a great job.
...and don't forget to send us your rescue stories!!!
Great job, Heidi! And though no one can see the fruits of your labor yet, Kass and Christy are right along with her!!!!!
