Subject: Urgent--Please cross post to all! 48 hours left to save 36
felines
Less than 48 hours remain before loving housecats are taken from
their
home and euthanized.
Rescue Groups Needed
Foster Homes Needed
Individuals Needed
If several people take just one or two, they can be saved.
PLEASE CROSS POST TO ALL ANIMAL PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU MAY
BE IN CONTACT WITH.
Details:
An urgent situation has come up involving 36 cats in a Dunellen
residence. The woman who owns them, who has been on the fringe of
rescue for a few years, has suffered an extreme mental breakdown.
This information just comes to us (friends who have worked with her
in the past) and we are told that a distant family member has already
stepped in and will be putting the woman in the hospital on Tuesday,
September 26. The relative has arranged for animal control to come to
the house to take the animals on Wednesday morning, September 27.
This is urgentthese animals are rescued, well-adjusted, loving,
friendly pets who are used to being loved and cared for. Used to
sleeping in their owner's bed, and used to giving and receiving
affection.
The woman's compromised state has just come to the attention of
people who are willing to help; however, this news comes at the
height of kitten season, where everyone who is capable is
overextended without being allotted more time.
There is no time for photos right nowwe have done the best we could
to at least get descriptions of some of the most adoptable animals,
which the woman was lucid enough to describe to us. We are hoping
that you can see thru the print on the page to the eyes and faces
that need you to reach out to them. They are as follows:
Gumby: Female, light gray long-haired cat, very sweetstarts kneading
her feet at the sight or voice of a visitor. Age 7 or 8 years.
Honey4 years old just a kitten when rescued, and for her to endure
such an end is unjust. She is a lovely white patch calico cat,
extremely sweet and affectionate kisses her owner on the lips and
nose.
Sugara tortie lapcat, age 3 to 4 years.
RedDSH Orange male tabby cathandsome lump of loving!
BrianOrange cat with white bib and white feet extremely friendly and
lovable.
Another male orange tabby there, about 5 years old, who is a mushpot
I
couldn't get the name from the voice mail I receivedsuper friendly
and loves to headbutt. 5-years old and has crumpled ears from past
neglected ear problems before rescue.
MidnightLonghaired black cat rescued from a cruelty case in Dunellen
a few years ago. Age 4 to 5 years, friendly and so affectionate.
Female I think
Itty-BittyBlack and white female that has a tendency to be fearful
of
other animals, therefore inviting them to pick on her she would be
best suited for people only, and needs gentle reassurance and love
She
doesn't like to be picked up, but will come and purr and rub around
your legs to give affection she is primed to learn to trust someone
who can take time with her.
BlackieLonghaired black male cat, again, rescued from the Dunellen
nightmare. Also shy, but well-mannered and keeps to himself. Loves
to sit in the window.
Benny, Willie and Muffinsiblings, all are gray/Russian-Blue type who
are about 6 to 7 years old. Extremely loveable and greet
visitorsfriendly sweet and playfultoo good to be put to death!
TobyMale, front declawed cat, extremely affectionate.
RhettOrange tabby, a little older than the rest at age 9 or 10. SO
loveable!
AngelLonghaired black and white kitty, so loving, not shy at all,
runs to the kitchen to greet her owner and anyone else who comes in.
Mollyfemale kitty no other info, the message cut off here.
There are more, but these represent the greatest part of the
animalsmost are friendly and well-adjusted. All are adults who are
spayed and neutered.
This woman had a breakdown and has been unable to care for these
kitties they are desperate to find homespermanent, foster, or rescue
organization. There is no alternative for these cats unless several
groups or individuals can step inand there is no time to wait it out
and see how it goes .there is today, Monday, and tomorrow, Tuesday,
that's it.
If you can help with any of these animals, please contact Kathleen at
[email protected] during the day, or call 908-233-1502 after 5 p.m.

but the rest still need good homes. Thanks to this list and an other, there has been interest in the cats, and they have been granted a 3-4 week reprive. But they still need good homes.
