Okay, everybody out there in ridecamp! I hate to
bother you people, but I have run across a problem in the Northern Nevada
area that I need help with. In the area where I am living, a farming
community with a lot of open space, people are dumping animals right and
left!!!! This year alone our neighborhood has had over 80 cats
dumped. Does anyone know of an rescue organization that might
specialize in cats around here??? When I say 80 cats I am being
conservative! Who knows how many the coyotes get before the cats find
my barn or house porch. My neighbors are having the same
problem. So........it makes me sick to see all the stray animals
around here, but I have all I can handle, and then some. My neighbors
are dealing with the same issue. One of my neighbors has obtained the
humane traps that the humane society supplies and has begun trapping the
stray cats in them. He is taking them out to a remote area and dumping
them. Although I understand his sentiments...........he has 24 cats
that he feeds and cares for, plus other animals, I would like to see
these cats go to some other place. I can't take anymore, and most of
my neighbors can't take anymore either. The other issue we have to
deal with is the unspayed females that people dump who then have kittens,
the mother gets eaten by coyotes, and we all find the humgry starving
kittens wandering in our horse pastures!!!! So far this year my horse
pasture has sponsered 9 of these orphans. Any suggestions or
thoughts would be welcome.
