There's a cat rescue outfit in my area, Feline Rescue, http://felinerescue.org/ that does a great job. Although I can't take in any more cats than I already have, I donate $ and bring them stuff, including plants for their annual plant sale-fundraiser. For another really excellent shelter, check out Friends of Felines Rescue Center in Defiance, OH - they have a great webcam, http://www.ustream.tv/ffrc , and they rescue a lot of special needs cats as well as homeless and abandoned cats and kittens.

I was really touched by Tiger Tim's story, and I hope he and the people who helped him will inspire many people to donate to Magnificat or some other shelter or rescue organization. Sadly, there are a lot of Tiger Tims out there.
