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.
