:rose: Thank you all so very much for the various types of ways you have chosen to be of support to this Project, in recent times. :rose:

ALLLL Affiliates, who have ever supported this project are always remembered! :love:
Your help and support can never be forgotten and keeps on giving! :nod:

:star: If you have time, please read about Samantha, to better understand WHY your help has been SO important, and why a little bit adds up, and how much of an impact you truly DO make:


This is Samantha, who is available for adoption, at www.southcoasthumane.org/ .
This is the photo I used to advertise her with, in the areas' newspapers "Adopt-A-Pet" sections.

She and her brother were abandoned in the parking lot of our shelter, caught completely on camera (relatively new, thanks to donations, that come directly from and indirectly from Affiliates of this project, JUST LIKE YOU, and of course from others.

Because of the parking lot cameras, we were, for the FIRST time, able to actually use the law and press charges for domestic animal abandonment in the case it happening right on our property. Animals are dumped in our parking lot all the time of course, and NOT just cats and dogs- it gets very bizarre...
 
Anyway, the case even went to court, and there was at least a big fine... or a choice between jail and a fine... (I think community service would be cool, or should be added, but that's just me.)
Later the man wanted to get his cats back!! - umm no! If he was having ANY kind of problems at all, all he needed to do was tell us face to face so that we could share with him the list of many options we have for many types of situations, and if need be, surrender his cats to us legally.

It's just so hard to actually enforce laws that protect animals in so many places, but actually being caught in the act, can help.

Samantha is a gorgeous muted tabby/tortie, affectionate and sweet. She is a bit older, maybe 9 or so,
and the other thing is, it was discovered that she has Asthma.
However, I was very amazed to learn how easy it was to manage this! It looks like an inhaler that a human uses, but you slip it into a little contraption, and press a button in the back to release the medication out through what looks like a little oxygen mask, for 3 seconds. Only one time a day! Samantha is really good about it! It's easy! I think she knows she feels better afterward. :aww:

So, Thanks AGAIN to those who donate, make purchases, or donate points, or even advertise "The Shelter Project"; you are ONE who has helped to purchase such a medical item to have on hand, for Samantha, and any cats after her.

Of course if she were to get adopted the new owner/s would have to agree to continue this care. We'd have to prove to them it's not hard- though I am not sure of the ongoing expense.

Well, other than all of that, Samantha is a tough, amazing older cat, and is certainly deserving of a caring and loving home after all of this!!

And again, from the bottom of my heart...

What a beautiful girl, how people can do what they do is beyond me!  I have worked with cats in shelters for 20+ years and I too know all the sordid details and terrible stories.  This is why all my kitties are rescues.  Even though my decision rescue barely causes a ripple in the problem that is abandonment.  I know together all of us who chose to come by our pets this way, we make a difference at least in there lives if nothing else.
