In spite of the best efforts all the
little groups like Animal Advocates Society BC is
still
awash in excess cats and kittens both feral and domesticated. The
moral duty to prevent animal-suffering is acted on by hundreds, possibly
thousands of women in BC, quietly and without any money but their own or
what they can raise at garage sales, without any help from the BC
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BCSPCA) which still
kills many cats and refuses help for feral cats (except for a very few).
Animal Advocates Society of BC (AASBC) has been paying the vet bills for
these cats and women for decades, thanks to the warm-hearted generosity
of our donors. You and I and AAS can help to stop the callous disregard
for cats in BC caused by the straightforward market force of more
product than purchasers. Cat over-production is still so
acceptable that without an all-out war on killing cats - in which
the BC SPCA generously participates - all the
unremitting and heart-breaking work these devoted women do stops much of
the present suffering but so far, has not been able to prevent future
suffering, because there is only so much that women without the BC
SPCA's $24 million financial resources can do.
AAS was able to rehome the one litter
still available and two mother cats which between them had produced 25
to 30 kittens for several years.

There has been such a flood
of appeals for help this year that we
may not be able to reply very quickly or at all
to more appeals. AAS is now so well-known for its
experience in all animal welfare and rescue matters that we are
asked for advice and help from all over BC, Canada, the U.S. and
the world. For years I have answered each and every appeal with
detailed advice that I have learned from 20 years of rescue and
advocacy. Our high standards are well-known to the public, that
is why we are so often asked for help and advice.
We are currently working on so many
projects that I am sorry to have to tell you that
we may not be able to
help you with your rescue and/or your personal bills.

animal-lovers joined together by the internet is changing animal protection and welfare in this province.
