Watch Local 6 News for more on this story It's all well and good if she can take care of all those cats. Sadly, most "hobbyists" can't but they don't realize it. She doesn't seem to be one of those, thankfully. And the video report indicated all her cats are spayed/neutered and have county tags. Jill |

Jill She is one of the good ones that is why I have been following the story it all started out by the county lying and saying that she did not take care of the cats but when a news crew went there she had complete documentation for all cats when the council was confronted the news reporter had the door slammed in her face. She even went of Dr.Phil and the city people were caught lying on national TV. It all has to do with the land being wanted by a developer She has suffered a lot BS neighbors lying county workers and a mysterious fire but she won |

Sometimes, good does win. Rarely it seems these days.

Jill I just did the math on 150 cats; between litter, wet & dry food a day. It amounts to about $75 a day per cat for wet food (that's based on one can a piece - not including any kind of special food for some!). $75 a day for dry food, again, not counting on any special needs kitties. $96 on litter a day. $246 a day - and that's not including vet bills!!!! In her defense, this is purely based upon what my 3 masters consume daily. I divided what we spend and multiplied that by 150. I think if she can afford it and she's saving precious lives, more power to her. But dang! That's a lot of money a day! kili |
