(Poor Pierce!)<br />Two of my three orange cats were from the shelter and one of them had been in a foster home prior for illness. Our Ozzie boy (RIP) was from a rescue and had been with a foster family for a while while he gained weight and got through heartworm treatment. I hope everyone is feeling better at your home.

Most of our cats were born here, but some came from Cincinnati. My ferrets were all rescues over the years.<br /><br />Taking care of animals is a lot of work and it's expensive, but I also find it to be one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.<br /><br />In the 1950's ringworm was endemic in the South, I guess it's a lot less common now.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-55565010917996702842017-10-19T11:48:46.363-04:002017-10-19T11:48:46.363-04:00I love that you and your family are doing this.

They stayed with us until they passed and, in fact, two passed this year, after being with us for 15 years. Shelters animals make the best family pets. We are grateful for them, and they for us.

Right now, we are down to our three personal dogs, and no fosters as we are trying to see how DH's hips recover with the Euflexxa treatments. But in the interim, the kid and I go to the "barn" and walk the shelter dogs tagged for rescues/transport. We aim for once a week for an hour, which usually lets us walk most of the dogs in the barn.Monkeywranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732066232389894763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-69915114220330831772017-10-18T13:30:21.037-04:002017-10-18T13:30:21.037-04:00We get a lot of discards from people thinking farm...We get a lot of discards from people thinking farmers need pets more than themselves.There are more feral cats in Iowa than people, and a long life never happens. Hats off to you! A local shelter received pets from Texas so they would have room for hurricane orphans and received a lot of help and new homes.I went for a respiratory a few weeks ago and told them I had kennel cough, barking before I hung up.

You have such an incredible amount of dedication. Dune bug must have kept you busy night and day.You are the best foster EVER. Yes, all of our cats have come from the shelter. I would NEVER actually buy a cat from a breeder. Not when there are so many who will be put down. Our oldest cat Simba was 7 when we got him. The local shelter had put him in PetSmart as a last ditch effort to adopt before the end. He had licked all the fur off his haunches and was in the cage sitting on top of a huge food bowl almost bigger than he was. He is now the most gorgeous, sweetest, most perfect cat ever.

Hopefully, Dune Bug can soon find a good family to adopt her.<br /><br />I think ALL pets should be adopted at a shelter... My son works for a big animal clinic in Chattanooga, TN ---and they constantly work throughout the community on getting all feral cats 'fixed' so that they'll quit having babies.... BUT---the babies get to their shelter quicker than the staff and volunteers can get to their Mamas.. It's a huge problem throughout the country...<br /><br /> Hope Pierce is okay now... Bless his heart.<br /><br />Thanks again for doing this.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-52291736469713740702017-10-18T06:27:28.875-04:002017-10-18T06:27:28.875-04:00Lisa - you are a wonderful human being. Thank you ... Lisa - you are a wonderful human being. Thank you for all you do. As you know, I help shelter dogs find homes. You are spot on about all the care that goes in to getting these animals healthy and socialized - and it takes a truly selfless soul to put yourself out there for these animals and stay the course till they get to their forever homes. I currently have four dogs, two of whom would have been euthanized if they weren't pulled from the shelter for adoption. The other two are puppy mill dogs. <br /><br />Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-37066810190179144372017-10-18T05:51:46.135-04:002017-10-18T05:51:46.135-04:00Dune Bug is such a cutie!

I had no idea it could be so dangerous to humans, too! You are one amazing mom and super-compassionate animal lover. (My childhood dog Heidi almost went to a shelter, but we adopted her first.
