Talina; Observations Of A Ceiling Cat Who Lives In A Shelter

"I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. I have done something," He replied. "I created you."~Jim Willis
...and YOU.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter" - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

All of the cats and dogs who enter the shelter below me matter. Each and every one of their lives has value and meaning. They deserve to find their forever home. Please help the volunteers at the shelter below me help each one of them find their way home.

"By ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe." --A. Schweitzer
I believe this to be true. I believe that the volunteers at the shelter below me believe this to be true also. I'm not sure that all humans believe this to be true though. If they did I wouldn't see so many cats and dogs come into the shelter below me.

I cannot understand why Tama is still at the shelter below me. She is beautiful, loving, sweet and affectionate. The shelter below me is no place for her to be. She wants a home of her own so badly. I love Tama, she is a wonderful cat.

Please consider taking Bosun into your home or rescue. He is about one and 1/2 years old now and one of the most handsome, beautifully marked boys you'll ever meet. Bosun was adopted and unfortunately returned, due to a life change in his adopter who could no longer care for him. (cont. below)

There are so many at the shelter below me that need rescue and/or homes. Kitten season is soon to be in full force and those that are at the shelter and in foster homes need to find ways out. Please help by adopting, rescuing, posting and crossposting or sponsoring one or more of the unsponsored to make it easier for a rescue to take them in. Please help if you can. Please.

Here is a video of Sweetie. What a wonderful girl, who only wants someone to love her.

This is what one of the volunteers at the shelter below me had to say about Sweetie. Are there any rescues that can help this sweetie?
"We frequently get in homeless animals to which our response is what do we do; we rarely get in homeless animals to which our response is "do we do anything?" Such is the case with Sweetie. This poor girl came in with several other dogs after her owner died, and she has so many strikes against her as you can probably see in her pictures and video.

She has a huge mammary tumor (at least one)
Her eyesight seems to be failing
Her ears are a mess
Her nails are a mess (which can be fixed easily)
Her age might be a factor.

BUT, when I brought her in for her pictures, she was so very sweet and she kept poking me to get me to pet her, and so my heart melted.

Can anyone help us help her?"

Please check out our friends at MAWL. They have helped the shelter below me so many times by rescuing the ones that need their help the most. They would like to reach 1,000 friends by the end of February. Let's help them achieve that goal!
