September 5, 200826 cats taken from local motel roomAnother rescue situation occurred this past week with 26 cats and kittens removed from a Roanoke motel room. Amanda Codispoti reported in today’s Roanoke Times: http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/175686. The felines were taken to the Roanoke Valley SPCA and are being fostered out and hopefully adopted. If you can help, give them a call. Angels of Assisi is caring for four of the adult cats. We are lucky to have such resources available to us and these groups have established systems to help in such cases. The RVSPCA announced on Thursday of this week that they have hired Gael Dixson to act as a coordinator for the volunteer department and it seems this recent influx of cats will keep them all busy for a while. Foster care is not a new thing at RVSPCA; more than 600 animals have gone into temporary care in the last 8 months according to Ann Marie Sweeney (my own Charlie cat being one of them!). |
