PLEASE DON'T SCROLL PAST. PLEASE SHARE. PLEASE HELP. WE NEED TO LINE UP A FOSTER HOME FOR MEG NOW!!!
Milwaukee Pets Alive was created to save the animals that are or would be killed by the Inhumane Society and Animal Kill and Control because there is one God, and no one else gets to play that role. Every life is deserving of life. Every life is important. We thought getting support for such an effort and such animals would be a given. It hasn't been in this community. 216 days we have pleaded for a foster home for Meg and still none. Yet the support for the kill shelters overflows. Upside-down land. But there's always one person in this sea of those that look away from the animals we help that doesn't - that runs towards the animals we serve, not away. That says, oh my gosh - how is no one helping this precious life? It doesn't take them seeing the need 50 times. They see it the first time and they apply. Our foster parents, while a small bunch, are a stand-out group of humans. They run towards when everyone else runs away. It sadly takes awhile for that one person to find our animals but never this long. Where is that hero for Meg? We need them now.
Because we're looking to reach a fresh section of our community that cares, if you are seeing this for the first time, you may not know, Meg is an undersocialized kitty who has never been in a home, but her caretaker of over a year has done a wonderful job of beginning her socialization in the only environment she's ever known - the outdoors. MPA takes these kitties who have shown the desire for attention and affection of people and gives them a chance at a longer, safer, carefree life indoors. We need foster homes to give them these opportunities. While what they need in a foster home to succeed is ordinary, they need a special person who cares about giving an "undercat" a chance. If that's you and you have what Meg needs, do what you were put on this planet to do - fill a need that you fit. Help when you are called to help. Apply to foster Meg.
Meg is in need of a quiet, calm, peaceful adult-only home with an individual or couple who are patient, understanding, and gentle. There should be no dogs in her home. She could be the only animal in the home, or, an appropriately paired resident cat can really help us socialize the undersocialized ones by "showing them the ropes" of a home and being something familiar (a member of their own species) when everything around them is new and a little scary. For Meg, the purrfect-pairing would be a young (because Meg is young - she's about 2 years old), playful, curious, outgoing, happy-go-lucky male cat or two - but no female cats. Milwaukee Pets Alive serves Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, and Ozaukee counties and all of our foster homes must be located therein.
How often in this life to have the chance to really be a hero? Not often. But you could be that to Meg. If you are who we just described, go to www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/foster and complete and return a foster application without delay.
If you are not a match, don't look away. Help Meg. Share her need. We need to find humans that will help in this community, and we need your help to do so.
