There certainly are none around Hancock County, Ohio. Please post where this is at. I would take in more cats to be fixed if it's really out there. Thanks so much says the recipient of dumped cats and a neighbor who shoots his cats with bb's and NEVER feeds them.

I hate that some people are too ignorant to get their pets fixed and expect others to deal with the problem. <br /><br />I've brought home my share of free cats in my life, we just acquired a new one last fall who was evidently dumped by the back gate of our allotment. <br /><br />Hopefully you can find a home for them, we're up to our ears in cats here already.Chiot's Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086153621579437021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-52606641322447801882009-09-04T22:50:22.661-04:002009-09-04T22:50:22.661-04:00What cuties.

We lived in a rural area, and ended up with all kinds of strays coming around. Unfortunately, they would usually end up getting shot, because dogs are potentially more dangerous than cats are. I don't understand why people don't just get animals fixed or don't get them at all. My mom at one time had over 50 dogs, because she said she couldn't afford to get the females fixed. However, she could spend over $200 per month on dog food to feed all of them. Also, usually the animals end up getting dumped off when they hit the adolescent phase and aren't cute and fuzzy anymore.Lythrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200781056851058805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-86219894718047794502009-09-04T17:45:27.912-04:002009-09-04T17:45:27.912-04:00It's a good thing you aren't anywhere near...It's a good thing you aren't anywhere near here or I would snap these babies up in a heartbeat (says the women who has dragged home--how many?--animals). <br /><br />You will be rewarded in heaven, Kylee.<br /><br />RobinRobin Ripleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620026400198513864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-89024022701660204292009-09-04T17:22:36.949-04:002009-09-04T17:22:36.949-04:00We have the same situation here on our street with...We have the same situation here on our street with people dumping cats and kittens here because it looks rural and "inviting". So, of course, the cats find their way to our garden that looks so inviting and welcoming. Like you, we only intended to have two indoor-only kitties and none outside. That was 9 years ago. We now have 8 indoor-only kitties. Only the first two were chosen by us. The rest showed up on their own. We also have 1 full-time resident in the garden with 3 that are part-timers. And we'd still only have 2 if everyone took the initiative to spay or neuter their cat.Cindy Garber Iversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543940998038589239noreply@blogger.com
