Just a update on the situation TAAG WAS DOING in the soo in WABOS, following the article we put out on sault online story
https://saultonline.com/2020/01/taag-urges-public-to-be-aware-of-local-cat-breeder/

As you know we did everything in our power to help this lady , Dana.
We trapped males outside and she told us to let them go, as they were not the culprit but the females . We asked several times, to bring in or we would help, bring in nursing moms and kittens, pregnant cats, or unfixed females. We drove out there 3 to 4 times, to help. Call her and tell her I have 2 appts set up this week to fix cats and we need them brought only to be told they were all pregnant again. A temporary shelter was sent up in her house in town at Northern Avenue and we had volunteers going 2x a day to work with the kittens and cats and fosterhomes waiting for pregnant cats or nursing mom cats. The only thing she ever brought us was kittens. Aside from them dying from Bortella, and sick ones that cost us a fortune to save, we still wanted to help, but she just refused to bring them in. Northern Animal Welfare was called 3x now called Paws, but nothing was done.
If you recall a plea was put out to the public for your help with this situation. Your donations went towards this situation. We were able to save many with your donations. 3 kittens cost us well over 3,000.00 to safe., thanks to everybody. The heartache and sorrow that some us endured and unable to help stay with us.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY

Now as you can see, 4 Paws Champ Rescue and Saving Elmo Rescue were there and took females only and kittens and took them to sudbury and then to Barrie. Several attempts have been made to fore-warn them that they could be transporting sick cats down that way and affect many cats in that area. They took one cat to the vets as you can see, unable to do a complete exam because if being so terrified and scared. She is approx 2yrs it says, has red gums, and weighing only 3lbs, almost 4. The vet was contacted down there to let them beware, but they only took one in. Bloodwork needs to be done for all. They also carry coccida which is contagious.

Accusations were made personally to me, asking why I would take just kittens and not the moms with kittens, as her rescue, 4 Champs Animal Rescue would not do that. Had she had talked to personally, as she was to busy to call, I would've been able to tell her that is what we were after. I have a text i sent her telling everything that was attempted and we went over and above her, if yous want to see it.

In all it is great news that some cats and kittens, were taking out of the situation and hopefully to a better life, but they all need to proper vet care, each and everyone before moving them to permanent homes.

Message and pics from Mandy Harvey

I know it is somewhat random to message you given that we only met once in person back in (I believe) 2013. I do not know if you remember her because of how many babies you rescue, but back in November 2013 you had posted about 3 kittens found taped in a beer box and thrown into the dump. That night my daughter and I rushed to your home to meet the black kitten who had been called "coal" then, and while she played with the kitties, I adopted coal who later became Hestia. I wanted to let you know that she is doing so well and we love her so much. She has 5 brothers and sisters now (well.. one she decided to have as a boyfriend) and has over time come out of her shell and loves to "quack" at us (she never fully regained her ability to meow after having gone through all of that) I remember back then she had a bit of an eye infection- that went away quickly and she has never had any other issues with her eyes. She has actually been healthier than all of our other cats in fact

But that is her now, and her with her "boyfriend" wilhelm. He is one of the children of the big.black cat named panda that wound up being surrendered to you guys ( I adopted 3 of his sons before he was surrendered)

I have been getting several calls for spays and neuters, which is good that you's are helping the overpopulation of many in our city by wanting to fix your pet. Unfortuanately there is more calls then I have appointments right now and I am waiting on vets to give me more appointments. Please bare with me and I will get back to you's as soon as this happens. I know several of yous that have called several times and left a message or text me and I have them saved all and promise to get back to you all by this week. Sorry for this delay. That is why it is so important to keep your appointment and don't show up or call me within 72 hours, as it makes it bad for the person who has been waiting for one.
