Please share! 911 emergency!!!
Feather has a urinary blockage and is currently being hospitalized. Half of the money has been generously scraped together by friends and family, but that isn't enough to continue the rest of his care. He is only 2 years old.

911! Emergency situation.

Bella is a beautiful, kind and loving calico who is good with kids. She used to live with other cats and dogs at her previous home. Her current home is a nightmare situation. They have had her for a year and no longer want her. They are threatening to have her euthanized because they no longer want her. If you can foster her or adopt her please reach out to me ASAP! 267-316-8344.

I need a shipper on Tuesday 2/23, for one small horse from Reiglesville to Mid-Atlantic. My horse has a tentative surgery date scheduled for a Mandibular fracture. Drop off time is between 8am & 9am. Pickup time is probably around 5pm.

I am a local special needs animal sanctuary and of course, I do not own a horse trailer. Can anyone help?

Baby Micah, my love. Does it get any cuter than this?! He crawled onto my shoulders to nap. A lot of my cats do this for some reason. Lol

We are also looking for someone who is available to trap 2 adult cats & 2 kittens in the Quakertown area. Kittens will immediately be going to a foster based rescue & adults have a tentative spay & neuter appointment on Monday. I can transport to vet to be spayed & neutered, but we also need to find a foster who can hold them for the weekend prior to their vet appointment and then for a week after their spay & neuter to heal.

Trapper and quarantine foster can be two different people.

Currently working on a another colony project and can't be in two places at one time.

I urge you to attend the Quakertown Boro Council meeting on 10/7.

Below are quotes taken from social media forums where residents of Quakertown express their concerns. Even if you don't like cats or are just a neutral party, the blatant lack of transparency IS appalling. You still deserve to know what your elected officials are doing.

In an e-mail, the Chief of Police/Boro Manager mentioned, and I quote, "that the [Wildlife Trapper's] company may need to bill the borough as a result of additional time spent as a result of the “attempted smear campaign.” Does that mean that YOUR tax payer dollars are being spent on this absurdity?! Where is the transparency?!

They wanted this to stay under the radar and are hiding behind the ruse of a make believe "smear campaign." Local rescues offered to help & that help was ignored. Why?

I urge you to attend the Boro Council meeting on 10/7.

Quotes from concerned Quakertown residents.

"All anyone is asking for is transparency. It’s appalling how people have had to fight to get any information. Government at any level should not withhold information."

"... But as a resident and animal lover who's just been observing this whole mess play out. I'm dissapointed with the way the boro has handled it. It seems to become this whole bigger thing because of their stonewalling for info , and suspicious stories etc. And I'm sorry but just "trust them" is a slippery slope. When I pay my taxes it's a business transaction not personal. And in return I expect transparency where my money goes to and how my town chooses to run their operations. Everyone who thinks Laura is taking it to an extreme should consider if this was not about the cats and an issue dear to THEM , what type of info/reaction they would appreciate from their town officials. There must be a consistent standard. So that we ALL can get answers and information when we require them from the boro. Whatever was done is done. But setting a precedent that the boro doesn't have to answer to it's residents for its choices is not something I want to see happening."

Animal rescue volunteers contend Quakertown refuses to provide details on what happened to stray cats removed from borough property last month.
