I Would Like to Think

 

I would like to think I'm an honest law abiding citizen

I would like to think I'm an honest law abiding citizen, after all I once worked for the police dept and currently work for the Surrey School Board..both which ask for background checks. However I did commit a crime one time..but am glad of it. Here's my story.

My friend lives in Lillooet or did at that time. As soon I visited her she said "thank god you are here, the people next door went on holidays and locked their cats/kittens in a shed."

Since I was a little kid my sister and I have been bringing home critters of all sorts. I didn't want to go....nope had enough animals and ironically the reason I was visiting her, is my common law hubby and I were considering breaking up as he said no more pets! This went against my nature ...so I was considering what options to take.

Well I did go...walked over there munching on potato chips...suddenly 4 kittens a med size cat and a small mother and male cat appeared..they literally crawled up my leg and pulled the bag from out of my hands...frantically eating the chips. I knew then I would take them all.

The people were last seen three weeks prior preparing for a holiday, leaving the cats locked into the shed with a once long gone bag of food. What the heck were they thinking!!!!!!

I set the alarm for 4 am...grabbed a burlap bag....and knocked the shed door down. Gasp me..all of 101 pounds...I did it. Cat napped all the cats!!!!!!!!!!

Arranged for a ride back to Surrey as I had taken the train and arrived home to find my neighbours all in a row waiting to help clean the kitties as they were covered in feces from having pooped all over themselves in the box driving home and covered with flees. It has a nice ending...kittens all found loving homes. The three older cats were adopted by my sister, spayed and neutered and given lots of love.

 

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.
