Spay It Forward, NFP's status update.
Spay It Forward, NFP Do not give cats/dogs to Cathryn Anderson of Streator. She gets new animals monthly from Radio Trader, Craig's List, etc. , then calls around for free spay/neuter because, "I am on disability". She then sells or trades the vetted animals on these sites and begs for free food to feed them. She has burned all bridges with SIF. Spread the word on this disgrace to animals.

Sounds like another woman from here in town. Only this one spends thousands on an animal only to turn around and get rid of it...doesn't matter what the animal is: Fish, cats, dogs...after only a few weeks she's looking for more animals, only to get rid of the new animals after a couple of weeks.

If I had a bunch of land and a bunch of money. Unfortunately, I have neither. Two of my 4 kitties I took in starving.

Greekgod, I agree that we need to support a "no kill" shelter. I run a Chow Chow rescue, here in Streator, and receive no outside funding. You would be amazed how many calls I receive, asking if we are the local animal shelter. Please, folks, spay/neuter your companions! I can't take in all that need help, but I will place all my rescues in excellent homes, and check up on them! We are looking for local foster homes.

She then sells or trades the vetted animals on these sites and begs for free food to feed them. She has burned all bridges with SIF. Spread the word on this disgrace to animals. What exactly is NFP? I GET the SIF here.........but what is the other? Who the hell is this woman, and why then can nothing be done? Well, ok I guess I just answered my own qestion...because there really aren't any laws regarding. WITH the millions of unwanted animals we do have here in the U.S...you would think that by NOW that the government would come up with some "guidelines" and laws for being a pet OWNER? Half, if not more of the time it's people who can't even afford their own children, let alone anything else who invarriably end up with animals, who of course aren't spayed / and or nuetered anyway...and the vicious circle continues. Responsible pet owners do for the most part go through a reputable breeder for their animal, and do also have them regularly up to shots, nuetured / spayed, to STOP the amount of unwanted animals.......etc!! WTH!!!! M

I dont know this lady, but I would like to suggest something. I don't agree with the way she goes about things such as getting free services and then turning around and selling pets, but isn't it possible, she is trying to do the right thing? She tries to get these possibly unwanted animals from these sites, wants to act responsibly and get them spayed/neutered and then try to place them in good loving homes? Couldn't her motives be good , but the way she goes about it be somewhat questionable? Does anybody actually know this woman or have talked to her about what she does, or is everybody judging her without knowing all the facts?

An orginazition who has posted a"warning", and you question her credibility, or intentions? SHE sounds like to me one to be out for her own gain, and no-ones elses, including these poor animals, OR they wouldn't have posted that, right? States she gets these animals for FREE, then SELLS them........think that about says what her clear intentions are. She is NOT doing any of these mixed up animals any good what so ever, perhaps yes she is trying to get free spay/ nuetering done....................... but really.............................. M

I just wanted to get a few more facts before I judged this woman. My mind went back the the "Grease Spot" debacle where everyone was so quick to run them into the ground but when the facts came out, it was a different story. I was truly hoping that the story about this woman was different than what was portrayed. At first, she comes off like a snake who would make a profit off of a free and useful service that was provided. I was hoping she was trying to do the right thing for animals by getting them fixed and using the money to help pay for any costs she incurred to house them until she placed them. The warning message also didn't say anything about if the animals were abused or abandoned afterwards, or what became of the animals she took in. I also know people on disability who have a hard time making it financially and I wasn't going to be too hard on her for trying to help animals along with maybe trying to make a little money to survive too. I think I know you Bluestar, I believe you are one of my customers, and if you say you know this woman and she is not disabled and is not doing good by the animals she takes in , then that is good enough for me. I just felt the need to defend this woman until more facts came to light.Thank you for your input on this topic.
