Last Desperate Plea:
APRIL 27, 2006
A lot of people are no doubt going to hate my guts for what I've started to do---and I don't doubt I'll get a lot of hate
e-mails because of this--but you must understand that, I've really, really have done everything possible to try to get my
cats adopted out--I've actually been actively working at it for two years or more--this wasn't just something I've been doing
for only a month or so--I've been in contact with every shelter, pet rescuer, pet foster care program going, but all are crammed
to overflowing--I was hoping really hoping, that if each place could have taken even only one cat, that would have been a
God-send--but very few places responded to me in the positive--I then even tried going public with my story, and did on a
small scale, and was featured in two local newspapers--nothing big, but the bigger publications just weren't interested, and
even tried getting the TV media in on it--after all, our story was covered five years ago, when my mother and I were being
threatened with eviction five years ago--and we had a lot, more cats---but even they aren't interested--the whole idea was
to get public exposure, and have people take in our cats.
It breaks my heart, it really, really does, but on Tuesday, April 18th 2006 began the process of Animal Care And Control coming
in and taking in our cats--they seem to be only taking three at a time, rather than seizing them all at once---I really, really
have tried all resources for me--and I'm still hoping for a miracle, that before all my cats are taken, that someone can come
to my aide and help here and take in some of my cats.
You must understand, I'm not heartless or cruel--this whole episode was created by my mother--we've have had pets since 1961,
when we first moved into our current address--we've been there for forty five years--and always had pets, but naturally at
a reasonable number--but my mother, who is 73, and now has cancer, and I just don't have a place to move to if we are evicted--not
with the rents the way they are. My hands are tied, what the hell am I supposed to do--be evicted and go homeless???
Like I said, I'm still praying for some kind of miracle, that someone, or place will step in and take in our cats. My greatest
drawback too, is that a few places did actually say they could take in a cat or two, but I don't drive, and therefore can't
transport cats anywhere.
So this I guess is my last plea--if you or anyone can help please help me save as many cats as possible before they are all
taken by Animal Care And Control
URGENT UP-DATE:
Before you read my original statement here that I had posted a few months ago, I need to place this urgent up-date first.
Five years ago, my mother and I were being threatened with eviction, due to the cat population problem she created. Much
of the problem was resolved, as back then we had even MORE cats--the number was greatly reduced thanks to media coverage that
followed our story, giving many of the cats we had good, new loving homes to care for them.
Well, once again we are being threatened with eviction--on March 2, 2006, my mother and I received a TEN NOTICE TO CURE
by the landlord, and we had until March 16th to "cure" and then on, Thursday, March 23, 2006 we received a TEN DAY NOTICE
TO TERMINATE, in which we have until April 14th to vacate the apartment that my mother and I have lived in since 1961--that's
45 years!
The allegations, first of all in both NOTICES are completely false, since they mention that on various dates given, that people
in the Landlord’s employ, and the Landlord himself were in our apartment, and making the comment that our apartment
was so filthy dirty, and that there was such a horrible odor due to the cats--This is outright harrassment to make such claims,
because first of all, none of these people have been in our apartment--our Landlord hasn't physcially been in our apt. since
1979!! And none of the people cited in his employ have been in our apt. either--I don't have amnesia--I think I would remember
all these people in our apt--also we're not recluses!! We do have friends over and none have stated that at any time have
there been odors in our apt.
For awhile there, I thought that the ASPCA could help us out--but they in effect have told me that I'm on my own here--and
recommended that I have the cats seized by Animal Care and Control, and of coure be euthanise--I'm trying to avoid this as
much as possible--It's my desparate hope to still find homes for these cats--SO PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP ME--PLEASE DO!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a website designed and aimed SOLELY and ONLY toward pet shelters, pet rescuers, and pet foster care programs in the
New York and New Jersey area. I'm reaching out to you all in the hopes that the cats listed here can be adopted out into
good, new loving and caring homes. I'm hoping that such organizations, and all who view this site can be of assistance to
me as I do need your help.
This website is NOT for the general public, as I need to get connected and work with people that have the ability to properly
screen potential adopters.
This is a website shows photos of some of the cats I'm hoping to adopt out. Don't get me wrong I do love these cats, but
unfortunately, my mother created a cat population problem that got out of hand. I'm hoping to adopt these wonderful cats
to good, new loving homes with caring people who will love them.
For over a year, I've been trying to adopt these cats out---I've been in contact with virtually every pet shelter, pet rescue
and pet foster care program going, with no success as of yet. The great factor against the cats, is the fact that they are
older cats. If they were cute, cuddly kittens, no doubt, even the shelters that are overflowing would take them.
So please give a look here---if you, of a pet shelter, rescue or foster care program see a cat that you think you might be
able to help get adopted out, please let me know and contact me
PLEASE NOTE: This is a "freebie" website thanks to Tripod, however, I cannot control the content of
ads placed here.
