Posted on Jun 27, 2012Thank you all for your support in taking the pledge to end companion animal overpopulation. It is this kind of community spirit that will save kittens this season.
Don't forget - we are coming to the end of our campaign to spay 50 cats in June. We have raised funds to fix Missy, Pookie, Cotton, Sugar, Contessa and her kittens. Help us reach meet our goal so that there are no more homeless kittens. http://tiny.cc/NoHomelessKittens

Update #3
Posted on Jun 19, 2012Mr. Isis was found just hours old and barely alive. This struggling kitten was blue and covered with ants when his compassionate rescuer saved him and gave him a loving home. Mr. Isis is now an impressive cream-colored 10-month old and ready to breed. However, his caregiver needs help with the financial burden of getting him neutered, a step that would prevent Mr. Isis from contributing to a overpopulation crisis that produces millions of homeless cats every year.

Posted on Jun 7, 2012There is a growing movement to provide spay/neuter to everyone as a means to end pet overpopulation – a step toward saving thousands of lives every day.
There is a realization that we need to provide spay and neuter service to those that need help the most. For some, even at a low cost, spay or neuter is an impossible financial challenge. But we are now in a time of groundbreaking solutions. For example, Indiana House Bill No. 1331 introduces a program that would provide free spay/neuter...

I hope to still be alive and witness the end of animal suffering. Just adopt, don't shop! Its that easy <3.
I've been vegetarian for 16 years now and I wouldn't go back for no reason,my father was a hunter while alive and he couldn't always understand why I didn't eat meat.It's simple: You are what you eat.Vegetarian, vegan, macrobiotical diet, etc.It's all better than killing animals of pleasure and wasting the rest-How many tons of dead meat goes to garbage every day?And how many animals are putted down every day for no reason?Before the animals were wild, respected and got their peace.Now all the greatest animals have been extincted, and soon if we keep on living like there's no tomorrow, we don't have any animals left!!What are the carnivors going to eat?'actually before we humans didn't have the teeth of an carnivore, it has happened after thousands of years with this stupid habit and a pleasure to kill for some, that will kill us too slowly!Becouse if we don't have any animals, we don't have much other nature anymore left either!In our society, an animal doesn't have any other value(except the domestical ones)than to be our food.Why don't you then eat everything else that moves and got meat, and that you can chase also, like insects, corailles,worms?If meat is meat, yeah?Then eat yourself and see how it feels like to be not respected and treated like a piece of meat, or a cold, one day old hamburger that goes to garbage! If the Aliens exists, I'm sure when they're more intelligent than us, they're all vegetarians! Love&Light&Bright Blessings to all the animals in this planet and beyond.
Lisa Zarafonetis i do not see why people have too turn to avegitarian just too love all creatures ! :)
My first dog I got as a puppy and she was a great companion.I always thought I would want nothing but a puppy, so that I could raise, train, and "mold" them the way I wanted. My next three dogs over the next 20 years were rescued or adopted as adults. Boy was I wrong about wanting only a puppy. Sampson, Christmas, and Freddie were incredible creatures that I think somehow knew that they were being given a second chance. The love they returned is/was never ending. Within weeks I bonded with...

Within weeks I bonded with them as if I had had them since pups....and I got to skip the whole destructive chewing, etc. stage. Any new dogs in my household will be rescues. HIGHLY recommended! just a thought... a movement to get young, new veternarians to either commit to performing a specific amount of free neuterings in order to get there degree, or perhaps if univ's could make that a requirement to graduate? experience as well as community service.
Awesome comment! :)
I was given an adult dog who had never been in a house, nor on a leash. "She is not housebroken," we were warned(--and worried). She was so happy to be warm, dry and loved that she never caused any trouble. She walked to one of us and straight to the door when she wanted to go out, she never stole food off the table or counter even though she was/is big enough to do so without jumping, she has never chewed things, and has walked perfectly on a leash from day one (except when she sees rabbits and sometimes squirrels).
Please take care of the animals we have, not make more that will not be taken care of. too many that are being put down because you don"t nuter or spay your animals.
The reality is when you adopt you save TWO lives. The one you bring home and the one you made room for in the shelter. God Bless all the innocent babies in shelters across America and around the world.
Awesome thought and so very true! Thank you!
i do belive in breeding at times but our pups go to good homes or they dont go at all
Please save.
animals are living things and they deserve better. we are their voice. we must speak very loud when it comes to the spay and neuter programs.
Yoca Taveras way too many ,i agree :)
Mercedes Torres i totaly agree with your comment :)
AMO LOS ANIMALE S QUE LA MADRE NATURLEZA NOS BNDIJO...... ODIO , DETESTO Y REPUDIO QUE ESTOA ANIMALES DE CUALQUIER ESPECIE? SEAN TORTURADOA Y EXPLOTADOS......DESGRACIADAMENTE AL NATURALEZA HUMANA FALLO YA QUE ES INDIGANATE VER LO QUE HACEN AUN SER INOSENTE....... SI PIENSN QUE EL ANIMAL NO SUFRE , NO PIENSA AMIGO ESTAS EQUIVOCADAO EL ANIMAL ES ES SER MAS PURO QUE TU Y TU MALDITA CULTURA INUMANA... POR NUESTROS HERRMANOS SIN VOZ..... NUNC ESTARAN SOLOS..... LA BESTIA HUMANA SIIIIII!
I adopted my beautiful "Kimba" almost 3 years ago. She was 4 years old, extremely thin, scars all over her and very nervous. She is terrified of chains or metal sounds. Now she is my best friend....the first one to greet me when I get home from work, sits with me every night and is just so gentle. She loves to play games but hates having a bath! Older dogs are just as lovable a pups, just give them the time and love and they are yours forever.
True.....seniors are always overlooked.It's so sad. They need & deserve love too.
respeto y valor para los anmalitos.
