"non-profits" and other phoney orgs
Among the various animal help organizations there are some real losers
and some real genuine helpers. The Tucson Humane Society in an example of the former. Many of these so called "non-profit" orgs exist mainly for themselves; sometimes paying high salaries to their "non-profit" employees. I'm looking to donate a sizeable amount of money, and have located some animal help organizations that look good statistically. If anyone has any recommendations of orgs that can walk the walk (direct/indirect care to animals), besides talking the talk (mailings soliciting contributions, etc) let me know. Right now I'm leaning towards some foreign orgs, since most in the USA are big corporations and have lost sight of their main purpose. |

There are two actual physical centers in VA and TX (with foster homes helping these out) and 3 centers that are groups of fosters based out of CO and CA. They do remarkable things for a lot of cats. We just adopted a kitty from them. |

"non-profits" and other phoney orgs- a real org
some of the feral cat orgs seem to do good work, but as you say, it may vary
from one locale to another. Have you asked any local vets? -- ie ride fast, take chances. "tanukiki" wrote in message news:6abwh.37884$uC6.16234@trnddc02... "getreal" wrote in message ...

"non-profits" and other phoney orgs
I can recommend quite a number that are great organizations. AzCATs for
example deals with the trap, neuter return program (TNR) of feral cats in the Phoenix area. They work very hard to do this and definately could use the money. Their web addy is www.azcats.org. Other great organizations I can think of is the Arizona Animal Welfare League at www.aawl.org, Sun Cities 4PAWS Rescue at www.4pawsrescue.org and even Benji's Buddies at www.benjisbuddies.perfinder.com. All are located in the Phoenix area and I've had a chance to work with all of them and know they take really good care of the animals they end up getting. A word of warning about Foreign non-profits. It's much harder to catch them if it turns out to be a scam than it is the United States. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!
