21. I wish I had an answer for that

I too wonder why this is so difficult!

Crate and towel are in the back seat of my car.

I have an appt. to get my too long hair cut at 1:00 p.m. *eek*
It hasn't been cut but once since my husband died in 2022. I feel like I am finally beginning to slowly crawl out of the highly depressed state of being a widow these days. It is time to LIVE again damn-it! Live and a cat that needs a home deserves the same thing!

I'll go find something to eat after that and then off to this mysterious adoption place that has 14 cats right now.

The colony to the north of me at the Rancheria has 110 cats right now. That's right, 110. Certainly I'm a decent enough person to have one again!

Such the hell isn't it?

Hang-in there Wicked Blue!

The same problem occurs with local shelters. pnwmom Jul 17 #16

I've not dealt with shelters that required that--except when it was a very large, active dog accustomed hlthe2b Jul 17 #17

i suggest the local animal shelter. ret5hd Jul 17 #2

I have found that a lot of pet rescue groups in my area don't have their own websites; they link to Petfinder. MIButterfly Jul 18 #20
