FERALS IN 2012

Hi all! Just a quick note concerning the 2012 Olympics in London! Construction work has already begun to prepare for the Olympics - however, the Olympic Authorities did not seem to care that it was the site of a large feral cat colony - about 200 cats and kittens resided there.

They began construction, literally crushing the cats. Fortunately several animal welfare groups stepped in and, despite some serious resistance, are trying to rescue all of the survivors.

There is some good momentum going for the primary group rescuing these critters. If you like, you can sign a petition urging the Olympic Authorities to allow the group access to the cats! P.S. - the cats pictured are not from the Olympic site, (see my photo page for some of those guys) but this group rescues all kinds of strays and finds homes for them - the cats pictured are among the lucky ones. Pps, the Olympic Authorities have been lying to the public, claiming to cooperate with these groups. They are not doing so.

Here's the petition, and here's the organization's latest news on the project.

Peace and warmth to my Voxter friends - if you're in the cold regions, hang in there - it's been a brutal winter! ;)

[this is good]

Hi, Maya!
Thanks for this info!
That goodness there is a group fighting for these guys!

It, also, has been a rough winter, but...well, we will hang in there!

Thanks Lauri! Sorry I've been so swamped, plus shoveling - you know how it is! I love this rescue group, we need more! ;)

So sad. One of my cats is from a "sanctuary," and after nearly four years with us, she's still skittish at times. Those kitties may never fully recover or adjust to being a "pet." People don't spay/neuter their pets should be forced to visit feral cat colonies (and other such places) to see what they're contributing to.
