Subj: Upstate NY (Sullivan County) - Feral cat crisis
Date: 1/19/2004
From: FeralPlace
PLEASE RESPOND TO: forgottendreamr@yahoo.com
COPIED MESSAGE
Hello-
My name is Elizabeth Sanborn. I work with the Sullivan
County SPCA in upstate New York. Our facility is small
and outdated, which does not allow us to deal with
feral cats on the level that we would like to. Up
until now, we have worked with the feral on a small
scale, spaying and neutering them when we have a home
for them. Over the past weekend, however, we have
encountered a crisis. We were called in on a cruelty
case and, among the 100 dogs and 40 domestic cats,
there were at least 200 feral cats. It is freezing
cold in upstate New York right now and it is
imperative that something be done. If the Sullivan
County SPCA cannot get help, the only option for a lot
of these animals will be euthanasia, because of lack
of resources.
My mother found two feral kittens that could not even
hiss they were so cold. They were shaking and it took
half an hour in the car before they could move. If no
help comes for the SC SPCA, there will be kittens out
there will be found too late. Please help us in any
way you can. This is truly an emergency.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Sanborn
