Adopt me please !
I just got a call from a gal at the Humane Society in Waldorf telling me I am no longer allowed to have donations made to THEM for MY rescue. Also they said since I am NOT a 501 3 c I can no longer get any non-feral cats fixed at rescue prices. AND any ferals that ARE fixed must be ear-tipped. So that's a way (ear tip) I guess they can ensure it's not a domesticated cat?
This really screws things up because I offered to help a lady get 2 adult females and 3 kittens fixed and I had an appt. for 8/2 for that but I told the gal at HS to cancel that appt. as it was for domesticated cats.
I'm at the point where I may just throw in the towel on all this rescue stuff. I am barely able to make a difference due to the limited funds I am able to get, and I can't afford to self-fund this operation. It seems to take me months just to get 1 cat placed. I end up suffering in MY life to help out and I get doors slammed in my face because I don't have my 501 3 c status.
I'm trying to get my 501 3c status but it 1) costs money and 2) takes knowledgeable/legal help .. the guy who's supposed to help me was trying his best to get me in bed while giving me information I needed. That's just crazy. Gee do people screw their way to the top to become a rescue too? No thank you - now what?
