She’s not crazy… 700 cats without homes is crazy.
Posted by charmedquark | July 28th, 2011I love a ‘crazy cat lady’ stereotype as much as the next guy (who likes them A LOT – that guy would surround himself with feline-adicted ladies if he could) but this isn’t a story about your average spinster with a whole litter of cats she talks to just a little too often.
Lynea Lattanzio is something of a local hero: she operates a no-cage, no-kill cat shelter (the largest in California!) out of her own property. Her focus is on spaying and neutering (she has her own freakin’ surgery!) and old-fashioned “tough love” education for irresponsible cat-owners.
This should act as a memo to all of you veganimals out there reading this: BUY YOUR PETS FROM SHELTERS! TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO BUY FROM SHELTERS! And GET THEM DE-SEXED! Generally shelter pets are spayed, neutered, have their shots, and they need homes, you guys! ‘Cause I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that not all of them are lucky enough to get to live out their golden years at a Cat Ranch like this one.
End of PSA. Now you can watch the videos, narrated by Jane Lynch, or go and find some YouTube videos of cats.

i somehow can’t see why a vegan would adopt a carnivorous animal and feat it meat.

Many vegans stuggle with the ethical implications of adopting animals that thrive on meat, especially when they’ve been brought up on a meat-based diet before the adoption.
Cats that are born into a vegan household seem to love VeganPet but for all that its formula is incrdibly well researched and nutritionally-balanced for both cats and dogs, it’s hard to know whether the animals find it bland. I’ve housesat for animals that seemed to enjoy it mixed with vegan meat supplements like Sanitarium sausages, or even rice and vegies, though. It seems to depend on the individual animal.
