Do help to adopt a shelter cat from your local shelters.

They are just like any other cats. They are cute, intelligent, gentle. Most importantly, they need a home too.

I truly agree with what you have stated.

I have some kittens for adoption and i think they are just as smart and cute as any other breed too.

Well-said!

Hi Garfield,

I was wondering if by chance you work at a shelter. I am a volunteer at a shelter and have been for the past 10 years. I would love to exchange information and experience with you.
By the way, I fully agree with you. Animals from the shelter are just as lovable as animals from any breeder or private homes. I loved the "sticker" with the cat.

Would be nice to hear from you!

Hello Tammy,

You have been a volunteer at a shelter for the past 10 years! It must be a challenging job and in the shelter for you!

No, I don't work in a shelter. But I do help animals to find good homes for the animals by rehoming, fostering and adoption.

There was once when I found an abandoned dog in the streets and I have helped to rehome her, in a loving family. She is a pretty mongrel, and she is fine till today and is really happy too. Her new owner adores and dotes her.

I think shelter animals are just as intelligent and lovable too. How I wish all those animals in the shelters find a good home soon. They deserve all the love too.

Hello Garfield,

I think it is just as important, and maybe even more so than working in a shelter, if you help animals on a private basis. A lot more people should do that, but many people just look the other way.
Congratulations on finding such a good home for this mongrel you found. She really owes you a lot. Do you get to see her now and then? You must be a big animal lover, so of course my question is if you have any pets yourself. Do you like all animals alike or do you have any preferences? I love guinea pigs and used to have quite a few, and I have two cats. You are very tempted at the shelter to take home animals but you always have to stop and think first or you will have too many all of a sudden.

Would be glad to hear more about you and your work for animals. I am sure you have a few tales to tell.

Oh yes, i do see her once in awhile. But it has been several months since i visit her. But she is fine. I think she must have grown to be a beautiful and radiant girl.

I was very sad when i handed her over to her new owner but i know it is for her own good and her future. She is so adorable and looks so alike with my childhood pal. Playing with her, is like having great times with my childhood pal. I was really reluntant then, but still i left her in the good hands of her new owner.

I seldom pop over at shelters, as it saddens me to know that there are still animals abandoned. If you have read the topic, "Roadside dog a curious mystery" at the dog section: http://petshub.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000023.html , i think that owner is very very cruel to abandon the dog this way. Just by reading articles like that, saddens me, not to mention even visiting the shelters. But of course, i still do pop by once in a blue moon.

I like all animals. No preferences what-so-ever. I have a couple of fishes (kois) and have been keeping them for several years.

What about you? You have spent the last 10 years helping out at the shelter. I am sure you have seen both the good and bad side. I admire your loyalty and tenderness to all the animals in the shelter. I think you must have felt really bitter when you see something bad happen to any one of them.

I think i shall stop writing for the moment, just in case, you are falling asleep.

Tell me more...
