Yvonne:
Did you ever get to the bottom of why your help was not wanted ??  Absolutely absurd.

Liz:
Just so folks know we had fostered for 10 years before moving here usually ferals to be tamed down and litters of kittens who had their own babysitter as we both worked full time then, we also have our own equipment - we bought everything they needed - kitten pens - 2 off, Mother and kitten pen - the big one , 2 nice metal traps and of course crush cages

We are also very lucky that my husbands job allows us to do charity matching for any major event we get sponsor for - the sponsered walk raises about £2000 annually for the old branch of our CP and we also got paid 40 hours a week for fostering - this was easy money as we both enjoyed the fostering and taming - we also covered all food, litter and any vets bills when our darling fosters were with us - our old branch cried the day we moved and thats why we still do as much as we can for them

I would love to help in any capaciuty but I was advised that my help in any way shape or form wasn't wanted - old guard CP here all well in to retirement age and not a lot of youngsters despite posters asking for help - I was advised by an IM and to this day they have never visited me to see my cats or our set up it was a case of sorry you may have idea's we don't like

Anyone who has visited the clan - I was homechecked for taking on the 3 older ferals last year and the hoemchecker advised in her next life she was joining the clan as they had such an idyliic setting and life! :shocked:

One person on Purrs helps me with chasing up the kitten neutering and does our website for lost and found.. So alot can be done on the web..
I have another lady doing posters for me....
Another person who would take lovely photos for our cats if the usual fosterers are not able to..
3 jobs that i used to do and now someone has kindly offered to do them for me.. Such small jobs but they help us all out..

And would you believe it with "LUCK" i will have 2 new homecheck people soon.. !! Both for areas that are not covered at the moment very well with volunteers who offer to help... But there are still areas with big gaps..!!

The thing with running a rescue is the more known you get and the more proactive you are the busy you get and the more people you need.. ! But we are very lucky those volunteers that we do have our like gold dust... I almost fainted when we found ourselves a Transport Officer!! as we didnt have anything so grand as that before it was pot luck!!  We are getting there but its taken alot of hard work to get where we are and we still need to fill the gaps..
