Oh He might not be a Saint, but he sure qualifies inmy eyes.

It's nice to hear someone is taking care of those cats!! I actually have a friend who used to take in feral cats (I don't think she does anymore, but I never asked her why she stopped - it's possible it was a financial decision). Even though her husband was allergic to cats, they had about 15 cats in their home! They didn't have a yard, but they had a cool walkway around their house which was had a fenced roof top - and it led to a sort of huge sunroom where all the cats could hang out - and you could see this through a glass wall from inside the house. They had greenery, furniture . . . oh such spoiled cats - hee hee! They were separated from the rest of the house because of the husband's allergies, but how nice of him to still take in cats!! But I know they were always had financial burdens - even so, they would always take each cat to the vet and make sure they were well taken care of - and as loving as that is, you know it's costly. I think it also took a toll on their emotions when each one was getting old and each passed on in their arms. Now, believe, they just have 2 cockatiels.

He will certainly have a crown in heaven! I'm thrilled to hear that someone is caring for them Auntie. He is doing what Jesus would have done.

He sounds like a saint in my book as well.

Ok, I agree with you and everyone, he is a good man for taking care of these cats, but in order to be a real saint, he'd have to capture all of them, take them to a vet and get them all fixed. Feeding them doesn't do anything good other than keeping them alive and producing more cats that have no homes. I remember there was a neighbor who fed stray cats and they kept multiplying so much, one year the mother cat got into our open attic, (this was when we had some construction going on and no work was being done at the time) and she had her kittens in our attic. Due to the construction, part of the attic also fell into a bathroom that was being remodeled and one of the kittens fell down. We were able to get the baby back to mom, but I subtly let her know that the humane society had a discount on fixing cats. she obviously listened since I don't see a lot of cats wandering around anymore.

These are the people who make our world a safe place to live in. Yes they are no less than a saint.

That is wonderful to hear, Hatley. I have worked for years with feral cats, as have many of my friends. When someone does something like that it is so special. These cats, through no fault of their own, are abandoned, left to repopulate, and are hungry, tired - just surviving. Anyone who can make getting through the day easier on them is indeed a saint.

Definitely a saint in my eyes too. I think your place made a dumb rule because of a dumb person. When you get a chance, find the guy across the street and tell him what a great job he's doing. I know I would.

oh i think so to. what a lovely man and soul he is. anyone that dont love animals especially small ones, i just dont trust about anything. God put them here for us to care and love. it must be heart warming to watch when he feeds them. and im sure he must feel rewarded in his heart by their happiness to see him.

Hi Mrs. Hatley not much people like him. he is so kind we know that we are in a hard economic, we tend to be economist is buying some food. but this guy apparently did not care about that

I hear alot of countries like Viet Nam,Korea and other countries like that cat cat and dog! Ewww! That ia sick! So I would not be surprise the people from Viet Nam not having pets like a dog or cat! I always hate hearing and seeing stories of people dumping their animals off! People do it for all reasons and it bothers me! If you can't take care of your animals take them to the human society! if not them to a no kill shelter or animal rescue where people will find a home or homes for their animals! Some people think they take them to a shelter and they will be killed no matter what! Then there are people who think pets,like cats and dogs can defend for themselves. Not! These animals are domestacted and wouldn't know how to defend for themselves if given the chance! At least alot of them! people do this snakes,pet repitles,horses and even wild animals,like big cats! If you can't take care of them don't dumb them and expect them to be fed even if you think they can defend for themselves! People aren't thinking and some don't care! I would love to shack them senceless when i hear stories like that! I get really angry,too!

Indeed. It is great to know that there are still people who takes care of animals. Man should not be selfish in what they have towards being who are 'lower' than they since God gave us this job to maintain his creations. We are God's stewards to his creation and that's why knowing that such a person still exists is a great relief to me. This is a very nice share, Hatley! Have a nice day!

Well, he is, is he? :) I think at times firm measures are necessary to be a saint. For example, Joan of Arc had to fight valiantly and kill, which under normal circumstances would not be expected of her. Out in our country, government needs to do something about population otherwise, there would be stiff competition for food amongst humans and animals, and animals would lose out, thanks to the ingenuity of humans.

my heart goes out to these poor feral kitties. You know I am a cat person and cant give a cat a home so I guess much of my cash would go to buying cat food as well.

Sorry Hatley, I hate to see cruelty to animals and believe that wild animals should have their own space. To feed wild animals in a inhabited area is just asking for trouble just like trying to pet a wild animal. I have seen free running dogs in Turkey at dusk howling at dusk forming a pack to go hunting, it's not good. By day they are no where to be seen but at dusk out they come.

How people treat animals is often a good indication of how they would treat humans as well. I am sure it made your day brighter seeing him take some time with these abandoned and stray animals.

Ya, it was her fault but that isn't how our wonderful world looks at it. How dare an animal abuse us. We can take their habitats and all that how dare they be wild and do what instinct warrants. I don't orientals have many pets. Too busy doing Chai and meditating I guess. Too bad you can't befriend them but I can understand why they have to set down such rules.

Hiya Hatley, Very nice gesture on behalf of that Man to feed those Cats like that even when he is under no obligation either. Feral Cats will scratch and spit very much so. Next Door but one´s Daughter had one as a Pet and it was the most crazy Cat you can imagine and on top of that it was called you guessed it Tiger of the names to call it. Well it did have big black stripes on it. Also it spit at everyone and hissed at everyone and tried to attack People if they went near to their Garden. I am always glad when these Cats are given a break like that nice Vietnamese Man gave them. But my most favourite Alley Cat was "Top Cat" close Friends got to call him TC and Benny one of the other Cats you know the Cartoon Alley Cats from quite a time back now. It must be more difficult for the Alley Cats than before as the Rubbish Bins have changed all the rules for them have changed making it much harder for them to survive. What a wonderful assort of Cats you get to see there then. I like all of those breeds too. Just hope is able to keep feeding them. Me too I hate it when Cats get dumped they are much less trouble than a Dog too so I can´t understand why they let them stray so much.xxx

I'm not being funny but he's not fattening them up is he?

Thanks for sharing mom I am so late, in india we have temples where mice are offered food, worshiped, people make wishes and their wishes are fulfilled, it is a question of faith, i guess.. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

The man was very kind to animals, say the least of it.It is really unethical that some people keep cats at the start then desert them thus those cats roam the streets.
