A Little Intro

@AmbiePam She's darling. Both of my babies were part Chi. I just do the best that I'm able. We have some very dedicated volunteers at the shelter. I believe that those who love & help animals have the kindest, most caring of hearts. I recently moved about 35 mins north of where I was. I'm still continuing at the shelter. I'm also looking to help out colonies here. If I was in a different living situation, I'd foster. I'm working on getting my own place. It's been a dream of mine to have my own rescue or at least help others with theirs. I'm much more of an animal person. In this county there aren't a lot of pet friendly rentals. Which is one reason animals windup at the shelter. That's a gripe of mine. Have you always lived in OK

@DragonflytotheMoon I lived in California for a few years as a very young child is Sunnyvale. Once we moved back to Oklahoma I’ve changed cities, but I doubt I ever leave the state. The tornadoes stink, but the people are incredibly kind. My friend runs a rescue, and she’s “gotten into it” with the city because of it. You and her would probably have a lot in common. She is a nurse, but every dime goes into the cats, dogs, and goats (she lives in the country so she rescues goats too). She started with two, and now has eight!

@AmbiePam It's the same as I feel about here. I'm a NorCal gal through & through. The main difficulty is how much things cost. Which is why I'm rooming with someone right now. I'm hopeful that at some point I'll be able to have my own place again. Though, this time, actually own, not just rent. I'm so done with that. How long has your friend had a rescue? What got her into it? She has eight animals all together or eight goats? I have a friend that rescues dogs with a friend of hers. They foster the ones they're able to & find homes for others.

@DragonflytotheMoon He is seen all over the place

@allknowing I've mainly had kitties in my life. I was born into a family that had cats & it just went from there. Peppie is a cutie. Is that their throne?

@LadyDuck I'm glad you do love them. Having people that are kind & compassionate toward them is important. Have you always lived in Italy? That's one place I want to visit.

@rakski Have you ever? I know that whereas in the US many of us view animals as companions & even family, it's different in some other cultures.

@DragonflytotheMoon we used to have bunnies but since it was heartbreaking when they left us, we prefer not to have one for now. I cannot say if we willhave one in the future

@RasmaSandra Please do. I look forward to when I have my own place & can have more babies. There's not enough pet friendly rentals in this area. Even if there were, I'd want to buy a home anyway.

@Traceyjayne When your circumstances are different, please do consider adopting. I don't know how the shelters are there, but here there are more animals in need than people that can take them. One big reason animals wind up at the shelter. Which part of the UK are you in?

@kareng Of course. I do what I'm able. I have a friend (fellow volunteer) who, along with a friend of hers, rescues dogs. Thank you for taking Duke in & giving him his best life. We have barn cats at the shelter. Ferals who will be adopted by those with farms/ranches. Just as the others are, they're s/n, given shots & chipped. Have you always lived in MS? I look forward to meeting more of the animal lovers on here.

@jstory07 I'm glad you were able to take both of them. We have two sets of brothers & sisters at the shelter right now. They're left over from last years kitten season. Last year was the slowest year (in the nine years I've been there) that even kittens have had to wait a while to get adopted.

@DaddyEvil I'm sorry that you are. I'm glad you do have finbabies. I don't know much about them. What type do you have? Have you always lived in MO? I look forward to interacting with different people on here.
