Kitteh lovers--your HELP is needed!
If you are anywhere in NC--or even a neighboring state--and been thinking about getting
a kitty, please visit the Durham Animal Shelter!

They have reduced their kitty adoption fee to $10. from $95. because they are overwhelmed with
kitties!

4. kick - and perhaps post this in the NC, SC, and VA state forums, as
well as the Pets forum (I'd do it for you but I don't have a star)

I hope good people step up for some kittehs! If I didn't already have six ...

5. And, perhaps those who can't take a kitteh can donate.
It would help with their costs. Wish I was in a better financial position. I want to get a second cat badly, but now is not a good time. The local shelter here is having a similar problem They're also having a "sale" on hounds this month, as well as cats, which are 2 for 1. They're overwhelmed with hound dogs, especially beagles. They have had several litters brought in recently.

6. Kick for the kitties
The people who run no-kill shelters make this atheist wish there was a heaven just for them.

Both my kittehs were adopted from my local cat shelter. :loveya:

7. Kick!
We currently have three kittehs, all rescues. Over the past two weeks we have spent $1,400 on two of them. They both had awful teeth. In addition, we feed up to 15 feral kittehs everday - very expensive, but there's no way they're going without food. I WISH we could take on another. Plus, my best friend is a Director of our local shelter...if I didn't take one of theirs he would have a fit!

But, "kicking" for visibility!

8. kick
My local SPCA does $9 adoption fees on cats (6 months and older) on the 9th of every month. I just wish I was in the position to get another kitteh as I miss having one around.
