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.
