Maybe they need a website more than bringing their animals to a petstore??? I'd donate to that..

We're working on it, but for the last 10 years, we've been basicaly run by 1 very busy individual.

My ex GF and I adopted 2 near adult cats. They peed on every carpet in the house, at all my RO lines, wrecked a leather sofa and love seat, two microfibre chairs, kept me up all night for months, almost never used one of the 4 litter boxes we tried...
Me, not so crazy about cats.

Hey I'm going through that right now. 2 Adopted Cats. But one likes to lick all it's fur off until it's a pussy sore.
We fostered them for almost a year and they where perfect angels, then we adopted.
My wife is a real big Lover of Cats (all animals really) but even she is being tested by these demon seeds

Most people don't realize it, but cats can be trained just like dogs! Seriously. It DOES take time and energy, but it can be done.

Cats can be trained not to scratch, spray, poop everywhere, meow, yowl, jump up, etc. They're smart smart smart. You just need to learn how to interpret their behavior and address the needs in a methodical, patient way.

Most people want kittens because then they know that they are not adopting behaviour problems. Who wants to adopt somebody else's headache?

I have two troubled cats that I adopted from a rescue site and have had many problems with health and behaviour. I will not adopt from a rescue society again because you really have no idea what you are getting. I think mine may be a product of too much inbreeding.

I would love to adopt a cat or two, the downside is that we have two dogs, and I worry about adopting the right cat(s). I also fear dual animal destruction of important things; books, designer goods, computer equipment. If we could find a cat or cats that work for us then I would be more then happy to adopt. I also want older cats rather then kittens.
