Hello! to all. first of all, i would like to apologise in advance if my grammar is wrong sometimes. it took me awhile to find where the replies to my post is. if not for bazsmum's encouragement, and nice words, i would not have gathered enough courage and will to get to this further. i was afraid that i might not be accepted here. once again, thank you bazsmum.
the reason why i said that i might abandon them one day is because i am alone in this crusade in taking care of these cats. i live alone, i have a helper who comes once in a while to look after them, and/or help me in taking care of them. cleaning, feeding, etc. i am afraid that one day, i might just run out of resources, or die, god forbid. there are not very many cat lovers here in my country. sometimes, some people here think that i am crazy, wasting my money on them. but i do not care what they say. i love them dearly. with all my heart.
how and why i came here in this site, i do not know. i was surfing in the internet. i do not remember what i was looking for. i was feeling lost. i do feel lost most of the time. but my cats make me happy. one of my cats, whose name is kelly, always block my way to the door whenever i am to go out. he sleeps at the sink in my bathroom always. that is his special place.
anyway, back to the subject of losing my cats. i know no organization here that can take care of them the way i do. i have visited countless shelters. there is only one shelter that i can say is sincere about animal welfare. but it is only for dogs. it is run by an ex policeman from uk. he is a good man. dedicated to his shelter.
the aso, pusa at iba pa shelter located in san juan which was mentioned by someone in reply to my post has long been closed. the cara shelter i hate to say as i heard, can only accomodate a number of cats. i was told that they put some to sleep. if that is true, i do not want my cats to go through that. same for the oldtimers cats there who will have to be put to sleep just to accomodate mine.
i will post photos of my cats next time, i promise. regards to you all.

Hi Coggy,
I'm so pleased you decided to come back and tell us more about the good work you are doing :Luv2: I'm sorry to hear the shelter I suggested has closed. You mentioned an ex- policemen who runs a dog rescue - is there any way you could maybe persuade him to join forces with you in some way. He may have contacts / associates who also like cats and dogs ;)
I look forward to hearing more about you and your cats and on behalf of the cats of the Philippines thank you for helping them.
Sam

i have some pics of my cats here with me right now, but the problem is that there is no scanner available. i will have them scanned somewhere first.
john, the guy who runs an animal shelter 6 hours away from manila { the capital of the philippines } where i live, has offered to help in any way he can. in fact, he is going to take in my dogs just in case something happens to me. other than that, he can do much. he has limited resources. but he is sincere, i can say that.
there are not very many animal lovers in the philippines. many are ignorant, and/or just plain cruel, sad to say. they think of us, animal lovers as stupid, sick in the mind, for loving animals like this.
there is a new law passed that will soon be implemented. about dog meat trading. i will be one of them catching these butchers. soon... i can't wait... there will be stiffer penalties.
you might not have the stomach to see this, but just in case you want to see, you can visit this site. it's not mine. http://www.dogmeattrade.com/
