I sincerely hope they all find safe and loving homes. I'm currently living in Greece where there's cats and thousands upon thousands of homeless little kittens. They're simply not wanted as there's way too many. It's a problem they won't deal with in this country and it's terribly sad to see such beautiful creatures rummage around dumpsters for their survival. I hope one day each and every single cat will be wanted.
ReplyDelete@Gods Little People...OMG Greece is a place I have been fascinated with since I majored in Rhetoric and minored in Philosophy in college. It has always been a dream of mine to visit Greece.
ReplyDeleteThe cat situation there is shocking and heartbreaking. Someone should create a spay/neuter clinic there to help reduce the amount of unwanted cats/kittens.
So pleased to meet you and thank you for visiting us!
It's a happy festive season and I hope all the cats and kittens find their furever home and be loved and cared as soon as possible. Some pictures with new pets together with Santa sounds so much fun there too!
ReplyDeleteMes hopes all the kitties get new forever homes where they is happy and loved!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be a miracle if all those poor anipals could find forever homes for Christmas. I enjoyed the comment from Gods Little People. I too have always wanted to visit Greece. It does not make me happy to hear how they treat their cats tho.Sounds like they need a good spay/neuter program.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm blog hopping today hoping to make new friends and landed here. What a FAB blog. I have been reading it for ages and have a huge smile on my face now. I would love to come over and adopt a couple of cats myself unfortunately we travel too much to be good 'parents' to an animal. I have added myself as your newest follower on GFC and Networked blogs.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to browse around your blog now. Please drop by and maybe follow me. I'd be delighted welcome you.
Warmest wishes
Carol from www.facing50withhumour.blogspot.com
We hope all 200 cats get furever homes but fear that will not be the reality. Is this a no kill shelter - we hope so - we hate to see healthy animals pts when they could be neutered.
ReplyDeleteluv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Purrs from all of us for these kitties to find loving forever homes during this festive season.
ReplyDeleteWe especially love this part -- Pet owners can get a picture with Santa and their pet... :-)
This is an excellent way to find home for these precious animals. I hope you send many of them home for the holidays!
ReplyDelete@Priscilla that was so sweet of you to read and comment about this since as you know I posted this (differently) last Friday....but I wanted to be sure to give these precious kitties the exposure that they deserve to try and find them their furever homes! xoxo
ReplyDelete@Penelope...AMEN! xoxo
ReplyDelete@Mario that is EXACTLY what I mentioned in my reply to God's Little People too...I agree with you a zillion percent! xoxo
ReplyDelete@Facing50Blog.Com THANK YOU for your incredibly kind and heartwarming comment! I sooo appreciate it! As soon as I finish reading/responding to these comments I will be right over!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid I am well into (and not "facing my 50s" lol) I am 55!
:)
@Hannah and Lucy very good question and sadly I have to agree with you about most of the kitties not being adopted. Last time they had an adoption like this 60 kitties WERE adopted and that is to be considered a success!
ReplyDeleteI am fairly certain they are a "no kill" shelter...thank you for your question...there is a link to their site on the blog and we can all check around there for the answer but I am fairly certain they are a no kill or they wouldn't have 200 kitties!
@The Chair Speaks, me too! I had one made with Bobo and Santa eons ago! (In the 90s) I should see if i can photograph it and post it.
ReplyDelete@SuzieQCat, me too!! xoxo
ReplyDelete@Hannah and Lucy, here is info I just copied directly from the website...I hope they accomplished what they hoped to accomplish by the end of 2010....

ReplyDelete@Alittlesprite, so do I! I loved your comment about "turning into a crazy cat lady" lol...if I had the room and resources I would adopt them all too. Thanks for your kind words but there are many, many others who do much, much more!!!! I am just happy to be the messenger as much as I am able to be! xoxo
Gear Caren,
ReplyDeleteThat's great even and I hope lots of them will be adopted by Christmas. But I wish all of them. Sound unreal but it's great to have a good hope.
In Melbourne, Mom know one shelter , they been force to move the place before Christmas. They have cats , dogs and horses. We do help them as much we can do and now they has successful moving. Many people has adopted the cats and Lots of good human do donation. So now they do alright in the new place. I'm glad they do end up good.
And we hope this event will help all cats have a great opportunity in this season.
@Mr.Puddy, me too. I agree with you that we must always keep hope!
ReplyDeleteDid the shelter in Melbourne move to a nice location?
You are such a wonderful kitty for caring so much!!
Much love to you!
We have our paws crossed that they all find homes!
ReplyDeleteI almost had a heart attack when those cats started singing!

Hi Caren
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at Gods Little People.
We're a few cat lovers that are looking into at neuter programme locally - fingers crossed it will come about. Sadly it appears that it's mostly other nationalities that takes action regarding the homeless cats (and dogs) in Greece. I LOVE Greece but it's approach to animals bothers me hugely. But I guess sometimes you have to act as an exampleship. Some people do seem to catch on to the kinder approach, thank goodness.
Take care...
- so pleased to have found a kindred spirit!
Hugs,
Joan
@Gods Little People you are most welcome and I am thrilled to be following you!
ReplyDeleteI admire you for taking the initiative to try and start a spay/neuter program in Greece I give you sooooo much credit!!! You are incredible that you are trying to take control of the situation.
I am sooooo pleased to have met another kindred spirit too!!
(((((hugs))))) to you as well! Caren
@Hannah and Lucy...here is what Linda emailed me and I am directly quoting from her email AND there is good news of some kitties who were adopted as of late last night!!
ReplyDelete"I can respond to you and then you can post.
Oakland Pet Adoption Center, which is part of Oakland County Animal Control, has
becoming a no-kill shelter as one of its goals. We are trying to do our part to
help find homes for as many pets as possible. The more animals we can get in
front of public, the more that will find good homes.
BTW - Caren - as of end of tonight -- 30 cats and kittens adopted. - Linda"
Very cute!
