⚠️⚠️⚠️ Operation Unless = Operation LIE
Nothing upsets me more than seeing someone take advantage of animals that are suffering like Shelby Amor AKA Rural South Rescue
As a cat rescuer, it is my duty as well as those who selflessly volunteer their time, their money and/or their homes to be a voice for these innocent, helpless creatures. So when another human takes advantage of these animals, their situation, their poor health, their desperate need to be cared for, fed and loved, I feel it is my/our obligation to expose their nefarious acts. This person comes across as sincere and competent in her numerous social media posts, she is actually deceitful and unqualified. Even I, the seasoned rescuer, found myself admiring her seemingly tireless efforts to rescue 27 cats from a hoarding situation as her post reads.
She successfully raised funds for this massive rescue event using Facebook groups as her platform calling it "Operation Unless". I will now share what I have uncovered...
A caring foster mom reached out to me regarding the aforementioned hoarding situation involving 27 sick cats and that the "rescuer" in question had made numerous posts on various FB group pages in the North AL/South TN area requesting money and supplies for the care and treatment of these 27 Operation Unless cats. The kind lady who agreed to foster realized she was stuck with these sick cats and the rescuer was not providing proper meds to rid the fleas, worms, and ear mites, nor covering any vet visits with the raised funds for these cats.
It appeared that this so-called rescuer, while more than happy to participate in a photo op of the numerous rescued cats sitting in carriers. Only 5 went into a foster home & 4 went to a rescue in TN, 2 were adopted straight from the hoarding situation right to their new home, not informing the kind adopter that these cats were terribly sick. All the other cats were left behind. The lady who found herself in this hoarding situation with the best of intentions for the cats & in need of real help, had no choice but to take all the remaining cats with her when she moved.
The rescuer had no REAL involvement in the process of actually rescuing, getting the cats well, giving proper medications, vet apts, nor placement for all the cats she claimed to have gotten out.
All the cats minus the 4 who went to the rescue in TN, and the two she adopted straight from there into a home, are and have been with me, while she continues to portray false claims. She drove away, from the scene without the first cat in her vehicle!! She made numerous posts that included graphic pics of the worst examples and begged for money to get them necessary medical treatment. She received an unknown amount of money as well as a huge amount of donated supplies. She has ignored repeated requests from her fosters to produce the earnings (transaction history) from this particular donation drive. In addition, she has not made a single attempt to get these poor animals any kind of veterinary care or the proper meds they require to recover.
You maybe be wondering how I know this person did not in fact rescue these 27 cats as she claims via Operation Unless cats & how I know the 5 fosters weren't cared for & the majority was left behind. That's because I have them & I have been providing for them. That's right! It's been me getting up early every single day and staying late at night to take care of these cats alongside our wonderful amazing volunteers!! It's been KITCR wiping bloody vomit, runny p**p, huge amounts of snot, & cleaning black ears. They have been with KITCR for a week with plans in place to rescue them for over a week.
Last Monday, they all offically joined our program. I spent close to a thousand dollars Monday 9/15 JUST for medications to get all these cats prescription dewormer, revaluation, ponazuril, antibiotic for URI, eye drops, anti diarrhea meds, & ear mite drops. Not counting getting them all fully vetted. Spayed, neutered, microchipped, distemper & rabies vaccine which will happen tomorrow at Westside. Over $300 immediately went to buy enough litter for this many cats plus the cost of food & supplies. When this is all said & done we will have thousands in this case. I have all the invoices and pictures of these babies. This is why i haven't posted much. I've been exhausted from working around the clock on Operation LIE. Plus several other rescue babies have joined us but posting has not been at the top of my priority list until now.
It's the day to day that makes a real rescue function. The hard work nobody sees, the tears cried behind closed doors. Taking on this many sick cats is extremely time consuming & demanding in every way (mentally & physically) Cleaning runny p**p, bloody vomit, and wiping huge gobs of snot. The planning & work to keep up with these very sick cats has taken a toll on us but we will keep going despite watching an imposter bathe herself in glory & praises for the work we have done with our compassionate volunteers while she keeps the funds rasied for these very cats.
I respectfully request that anyone who donated money and/or supplies for Operation Unless, please kindly reach out to me at [email protected]
We are the ones taking care of these cats and we are the ones who need help!!
Thank you so much! I may share more details in the comments bc there is so much more than deserves to be brought to light including the attempted euthanasia of an innocent cat because of her age of 13 years. Her whiskers were wacked off and fur was cut to the skin for a memorial. Why?? Well bc she's old and had a little runny p**p. Thankfully the vet was closed so she joined the og foster. It took less than a week to get the p**p formed. She runs, plays, jumps, and is so full of life. She's so sweet and incredibly loving. Please know who/what you are supporting! These cats did not deserve to get used in the way they were, nor did the previous owner, nor did the wonderful people donating. It's situations like this that make it hard on the good & wonderful rescues out there who do things right.
