[Felvtalk] Living forever :-)

I haven't read all the literature or watched the videos about his place but I was under the impression that it is set up to be a sanctuary not a rescue or shelter type situation.  Most of his cats weren't pets but homeless cats that were living on the streets anyway.  So his place is probably better than living on the street.  Probably also has ferals that were at a pound ready to be executed because they're not adoptable.  He also takes in ferals that can no longer live at the colony location.

I thought about this too, but he might not let me bring them in the house because I felt guilty leaving them outside.

It was good that they get food and have houses to sleep in and it is fenced, but just with a normal cyclone fence that cats and coyotes cold easily get over.  And with that many cats and not much help in the caring department, it is hard to see how he could keep up with who is sick,hurt.  His video also said he bears most of the cost with some donations to help.  I also worry about who will take over when he dies since he doesn't look like a youngster.  Does he have provisions for continuing care of the cats.  Also, if people take their pets to him expecting them to get the same care they gave them, would they?  My guys go outside for 2 or 3 hour in the day but they are inside at night and bad weather days.  The are used to sleeping on my memory foam bed and me.  I do not think they would be happy there.

I never heard that about the other guy so who knows if his property is fenced in.  But it seems like he takes in ferals and homeless cats who have absolutely nowhere else to go so even if it isn't an ideal home situation those cats are a lot better off with him.

At night they could sleep in my bedroom like they do now.  I wouldn't mind takin on a few more cats.  Or waht about this guy in Oregon who bought 600 acres of an old tree farm.  He takes in strays, unwanteds and lets the roam the 600 acres.  He builds all kinds of houses for them to sleep in and spends the day checking up on them and giving each one some loving.
