Anyone have grantwriting experience that can do that FOR Janine?<br />The 19th Ward group is doing great things, and it was a good article. The more Feral Cat TNR info put out there to educate the general public the better. But I see a huge difference between that area and the area of the city that Janine is dealing with which makes her situation much more difficult. In 19th Ward there are at least 80 FEEDERS who continue to care for their colonies. The group TNRs and MANY other people (neighbors) care for the cats. A far better situation socioeconomically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603723189041366390.post-9715872040492449522016-10-26T17:00:16.767-04:002016-10-26T17:00:16.767-04:00glad they said "reducing the production of&qu...glad they said "reducing the production of" and not just reducing the number of..

This is a group of about 20 to 25 people with the same goal of TNR as many cats as they can. Last year alone the caught 287 cats, adopted out 85, and released 202 back to colonies. They received grants to help make this happen. This is people working together for a greater good "The City" and the 19th Ward. It is not about 1 or 2 individuals getting the funding. Groups need to come together as 1, and make this happen for the City. You are right no one person can do this alone, however you are not alone you have plenty of your friends helping you, like your fosters, Saturday Cheryl that helps you, your husband, Walt that donates to the cause, Kristin is your right hand. You have many people helping you. Change takes time, and it is a slow process when you are wishing it would be tomorrow.

She MUST give them those so that if the health dept ever contacts Karen St. Aubin's office again to remove shelters, Karen will know they are JAnine's and call her. I was at the meeting yesterday and KAren St. Aubin was very kind, as were the others. I did not get any vibe that they were anything but supportive of what Janine is doing. They said themselves " we will support you while you continue your work that is beneficial to the community". They value what she is doing - which is great to see. :) -KristinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603723189041366390.post-20524576348866340652016-10-26T10:44:01.939-04:002016-10-26T10:44:01.939-04:00I am very happy that things went well at the meeti...I am very happy that things went well at the meeting for you today. Let's hope things work out well.<br /><br />Please be prepared from a backlash by cat haters when fliers, etc., start reaching their doorsteps. Not everybody has humanity and compassion and their voices united may be stronger than yours. It happened in my community.<br /><br />I am not trying to be a downer, just trying to give a heads up so you may be prepared in case of such an event. <br /><br />Personally, I don't like the idea of giving the city a location of all your cat colonies. That doesn't sound good to me at all. I feel like the cats are sitting ducks.Falkosmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377216048539023029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603723189041366390.post-83668978409407191052016-10-26T10:41:51.237-04:002016-10-26T10:41:51.237-04:00Janine,

Hopefully, you mentioned to Karen St.Aubin (Director of Operations) that you are friends with Karon. She owes Karon big time! Karon retired giving Karen the Directors position. Congrats once again on the progress you attained. Well done my friend.<br /><br /><br />Walt Simoni Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
