It's Slow in Cat World

One of the outcomes of the slow economy is a serious drop in animal adoptions.

At the same time, more and more animals are being abandoned - if people can't feed their families, the family pet is sometimes sacrificed. The other thing that goes by the wayside is people taking the time and money to spay and neuter their animals. All of these things mean that there are more animals in rescue organizations and shelters looking for new homes.

It's a tough time to be a rescue organization. And yet, they are still there. Still taking in animals - as many as they can feasibly take in.

So think about that, those of you who can afford to take in a new cat. A new dog. Donate some money. Donate some food. Donate some old towels. Donate some old blankets. Whatever you can do.

It's slow in cat world.
