Update Post 🀍πŸͺ½Amane was taken today. Rescue came too late. I’m so sorry and sad to share this. Time was not on your side. No key today only tears. Fly away from this world little one. You mattered! πŸ€πŸ•ŠοΈ

Devore has taken in too many to rescue in time sadly. All the hard work and dedication cannot save them all. There’s just too many coming in. This baby was lost today. We say goodbye and hope to do better tomorrow. I’m sorry Amane, I’m so sorry. πŸ’”πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

Walk away Amane dear and don’t look back Follow the paw prints on the Rainbow track Head held high and tail up straight For heaven’s reward you’re not too late Life was cruel and did you wrong So listen now to your angels song It calls to you as you fly away Just know you were loved on your very last day πŸ’”Monkittyruccia22

Devore should be renamed β€œDevour” (aka we devour cats under the garb of rescue as we don’t have a plan and just kill as we please). Why are humans so pathetic to decide how long a sentient being can live? What kind of a cruel sport is this? Beautiful Amane could totally be someone’s lap cat. I am so disgusted and angry reading this news 🀬

u/Monkittyruccia22 May 18 '24

Yes, that’s what we call it actually. It’s extremely tragic and sickening to kill a beautiful cat like this. I can’t even fathom how anyone could possibly do it. I’m just sick. Poor baby. It’s not right to trap them jail then terrify them then kill them like rats. It’s just disgusting. πŸ˜”

u/Weird_Gap3005 May 18 '24

Sad. That sounds like a frustrating situation. It's tough to be the one delivering bad news.

Moving on, have you considered connecting with any animal rights activists beyond the petition? I'm a policy advocate who writes memos, and I'd be happy to help.

By the way, do you know which state this rescue is located in? If you'd like, I could draft a policy memo outlining the issue and send it to your state senator.

Let me know if you're interested, and feel free to direct message me if you'd like to discuss further.

This is devastating and so unfair. Every single one of the lives matter πŸ’”

Yes. It is.. I can’t wrap my head around their philosophy about sentient beings and their right to life. It’s such a disgrace to murder them. πŸ’”

We have tons of shelters like this in NC, it never ends and it's not fair to them at all. I wish we could save every single one.

Reddit (especially us cat lovers) is a wonderful community. This platform is a beacon of helpful hands.

I am currently fostering 2 (bonded) boys because someone in my state needed them to be cared for for a few months. Since this person lived about an hour and a half away, someone jumped in and offered to pick up the cats and transport them to me! All because of r/cats

This is terrible to see - beautiful, loving, innocent cats just disposed of - and we see it constantly.

Does r/rescuecats have any sister groups that specifically focus on each state? I see so many people in desperate need of fosters, and the sorting of groups by state would be so helpful. I’m in Long Island NY, and would love to continue to help as much as I can.

My dream is to eventually have some kind of prefab tiny home put on my land upstate (about 300 acres in Delaware County) where I’d have more room to foster up to 10 cats at a time. People shouldn’t have to worry about scrambling to find a safe place for their babies when they’re going through a tough time. πŸ˜₯

u/Monkittyruccia22 May 18 '24

We are actually trying to do this but response has been slow. Although RC has almost 19k members not sure how many actively participate in rescue. You are welcome to post for rescue partners and help in your community though. We actually do work behind the scenes on projects like this to help people with cat crisis. We have been successful with group chats and networking the areas too. So if you’d like any advice I can help ☺️

3

u/stupidbulbasaur May 18 '24

Perhaps we could start by selecting the top 5(?) states in which we have the most volunteers both for transportation & fostering, and create those 5 groups for those states? For instance: r / rescuecatsNY , and so on.

Idk, I’m just brainstorming right now & I apologize if this is too much of a stretch, I’m just really motivated, haha 😻
