I know that there are many of you who probably do not wish to receive emails about animals needing homes. It seems that there has been a lot of email traffic on that subject alone lately, so I've decided to separate my "Intersting Stuff" list into two lists "Animals in Need" and "Random Stuff". I did a similar separation about two years ago when I created the "Interesting Stuff" list: http://www.photoninja.net/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/InterestingStuff/20 ...Continue Reading

(originally sent March 11, 2007) I know there's been a lot of message traffic lately for cats needing homes. I was actually hoping that would stop for a while because I know you guys must feel bombarded. However, there is a lady in Palmdale with a 17 year old cat who needs a home. She's leaving the state, so she needs to place him by March 23rd. She's checked the local shelters and they're all full. If she doesn't find a home for him, the only option left is to euthanize him, which she really do ...Continue Reading

(originally sent March 10, 2007) I brought the friendly stray kitty to his new home in Tehachapi this evening. :) I love that I'm helping animals find new families. I fear that I'm running out of resources though. There are only so many friends of friends available who want new pets, and I only got the one response on Freecyle (I posted it to 4 nearby cities). But so far I have been successful and it feels really good to know that Mike and I are helping control the cat population. We've spayed a ...Continue Reading

(originally sent March 5, 2007) Last month I sent out an email about a super friendly stray kitty in need of a home. We were successful in finding him a home right away. Then shortly after, a cat who looks just like super friendly kitty came into our backyard. We figure he must be a sibling. He looks to be approximately 1 year old. Unfortunately, he wasn't as super friendly as the first one; he was skittish. He would hang around our porch, but we couldn't go up to him and pet him. So we decided ...Continue Reading

(originally sent February 17, 2007) I was forwarded an email about two dozen cats needing homes. I contacted the lady at the email address listed at the bottom of the email to: (1) make sure it was real, and (2) get further information. An organization called Best Friends Animal Society (located in Utah) was contacted by a woman in the Las Vegas area who is in desperate need of help with her cats. This is an individual who has rescued cats but not placed them into other homes. Due to serious hea ...Continue Reading

(originally sent February 17, 2007) From a friend of mine: "I have come to the decision, after a couple months of thought, to give my dogs away to homes where there are people that have more time for them. I love them and they are wonderful, but with work, school, and other activities, I have very little time to spend with them and I feel horrible, and I know that they deserve more. Being single I think the decision to get the 2 dogs just over a year ago was premature, I am not a homebody a ...Continue Reading

(originally sent February 9, 2007) Two more kitties need a home. They are located in Boulder City, NV.

Kasey (right one in the picture) has blue and yellow eyes and is very friendly playful, he is neutered but ...Continue Reading

(originally sent February 1, 2007) Hi again, Just wanted to let you know that friendly kitten found a home! He will be an inside/outside cat, which I think he will like. I'm taking him to his new family on Saturday. Thanks for the responses and spreading the word. I love it when I'm able to use my network to help (people or animals). -Rebecca [addition: pictures of friendly kitty and new home may be found here: http://www.photoninja.net/gallery/FriendlyKitty] ...Continue Reading
