Hi Cindy:
Homes for our foster kitties are varied. We put the kitties on PetFinder on the net, plus they are listed and pictured on our animal rescue's website www.catlink.org plus word of mouth; presence with staff & the kitties in Petco stores in the metro area. We are very particular about the homes we find for our kitties and we make home visits and check back with the adoptive families after the adoption to make sure everything is going well. Our kitties have gone as far as Boston, Mass and Cape Town, South Africa and right next door!
Our rescue program promotes SPAY/NEUTER for all animals and last year they altered almost 1,000 kitties from feral colonies where the "civilized humans" in our population has opted to dump animals along freeways, in parks and in parking lots instead of caring for them. Life on the street for a poor animal without human help is brutal and cruel. Our Lightening and his siblings came from a hoarder0 colony where none of the animals had enough to eat so would scavenge in the camp areas of the homeless folks...the adult cats were having their legs cut off by some of the homeless drunks just for the fun of it. There were 40 animals rescued from that site. One man is in jail over this horrible situation.
