The rescue group DID offer to have the family come over and sign an agreement and informed them that they had to do a home visit. I guess Ellen and her hairdresser must have thought it was beneath them and refused to do so. Instead of calling this rescue group crazy, controlling, lunatics maybe you all should try gathering all of the facts first. Ellen went sobbing on national TV and the next day she said that she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Hmmm, maybe it was because the founder of the rescue group decided that she had had enough of threat to her life -THREATS TO HER LIFE - and wanted to explain their point of view and went on the early shows. So then Ellen decides to cover her butt by saying that she no longer wants to talk about it. I'm a rescuer and a foster mom and reading most of these posts really tick me off. Most of you don't know what we go through. We take care of "bottle babies" feeding them every two hours around the clock, stimulating them so they can go to the rest room because you're their momma now, and then dealing with work because we get to pay the vet bills. Do you know the pain that we go through when we've given it our all to still have them pass away? Do you know the heartbreak we go through having a cat die in your arms because the medicine that it needed to stay healthy was $25 dollars a month but it was too much for the owners who happen to have the latest cell phone and a purse that costs a couple hundred dollars. Do you know what it feels like to have a FULL grown cat come to you weighting 4 pounds?!?!?!?! Do you know the anger of taking in a cat that has spraying issues because the owners declawed all four paws have a new dog who likes to chase it and don’t understand why after one week of trying he is still doing this? Or how about getting lovely messages from irate random people who want you to take their cat or dog and you should because you're a rescue group. Trust me if we could we would take all of them but for space and finance issues we can't. In the last two months I have personally spent close to three thousand dollars on vet bills alone (I get NO donations). Every week I spend around two hundred dollars on litter and food alone. So I apologize that I can't take in your cat that you've had for 8 years and your new boyfriend doesn't like him so you have to get rid of your cat. I apologize that I don't have space to take in your cat that you are suddenly allergic to after 14 years. And I REALLY apologize that I cannot take in your cat who "just keeps on getting pregnant". I’m sorry that you feel you can threaten me by saying that you'll take her to the pound if I don't take her. I wish to god I could take all of them because when I say no a little bit of me dies knowing what their outcome is likely to be - but because I have 5 cats who will NEVER be "adoptable" I cannot make more room right now. You see I now have 5 cats that will permanently be with me for their rest of their lives. These guys will never allow me to pick them up or pet them but I made a COMMITMENT when I took them. Even if they hiss at me and scratch me when I take them to the vet to get their shots an annual check ups (although they are all INDOOR cats) I promised them a good home no MATTER what. After all of this most of you have the gall to say that we are control freaks?!? You bet I’m going to make sure that my babies go to a good home because I have seen what a marginal home can do. We promised them from the day they came to us that we would make sure they went to a home where they were loved as much as they are with us. So I TRULY, TRULY apologize if I wouldn’t adopt to some of you but I hope that you all understand (although it seems that most of you don’t from these posts) that we are doing this for them NOT us like many of you think.
