A letter from a rescued cat...

CAT ANGELS is one of the kind rescues that took in some of the cats from the Reidsville case.  Several of the 20 they took in have been adopted. This letter is from one of them:

Dosido I've settled into my new home, which is now stuffed with scatching posts, catnip toys, cat teasers, treats, a fancy waterfall water bowl, and LOTS of windows to look out of. I quickly discovered that I rule here, so I took the name Huey P. Long, because I've got my paws into everything. But my new Mom refers to me as The Governor. My vet, who's from New Orleans, calls me The Kingfish.
 
Here's a picture of me doing what I like best -- looking out the window and guarding the house from Squirrels of Mass Destruction.  Those are my friends Angel the Vampire and Scabbers the Rat helping out.
 
And did I mention that I'm going to be FAMOUS? My Mom is a writer and is going to put me in her newest book! I'll probably just save the world or something... yaaawwwn.
 
Love,
Huey

Can you help the last few Reidsville cats?

Thanks to the amazing kindness and generosity of several NC rescues and the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine, over 100 cats have been place in foster from Reidsville

We've already received word that many of those have already found fantastic forever homes where they will be cared for as treasured family members.

The woman who had all these cats has agreed to sign a legally enforceable document limiting the number of animals she will ever have in the future.

The only catch is that we have to place 17 more in order to get her numbers down to where the agreement will "begin".  Many of you have voiced concern that these animals not be euthanized, and Bayou Rescue agrees. 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!  We are willing to try to arrange transports even outside of NC, so if you know of a reputable 501c3 no-kill organization that can take in some of the ones left  behind.

Here's who's left:
7 "friendlies": 4 black, 1 orange, 1 tabby and one long haired (not sure of the color).
4 semi-ferals that could be adoptable as indoor pets with some special care in a less stressful environment:  d, 2 black, 1 tabby and 1 tuxedo
6 ferals: 1 black with long hair, 2 black, 2 tabby, and 1 gray

As mentioned, Dr. Ferris and her crew at the NCSU vet school have been very generous in their assistance, including free initial exam, initial antibiotics, and spay/neuter.  Bayou Rescue will arrange for transport.
