Unbelieveable!! I just fielded a hostile email berating us for using “scare tactics” to get people to volunteer when “clearly” these cats were never in any danger.
Huh???
Okay, let’s review this….
12 cats who cannot be touched. They are not going to be adopted out. They cannot return to their old neighborhood. There are more “barn cats” waiting for homes than their are barns to home them…unless you count the barns who’s cats are picked off by coyotes a week or two after they arrive.
A bazzillion responses to email requests for help. The emails are sent out 24 hours before these guys are going to be put down. The responses are still pouring in at the deadline. So, of course, we assume that there are at least 12 competent, qualified, willing and able people in this pile of responses so we commit to pull all 12 cats.
Which saves their lives.
Now we are wading through the responses and some people are mad the cats are still alive past the deadline?
I’m not sure what I need more - a vacation, a drink, or a new line of work.
