You'll never guess who showed up at this weekend's feral cat spay-a-thon in Vegas!

[joeybee12]

Disgraced ex-senator Jon Ensign! He's a vet and has been out of practice for a while...so I guess he was there to sharpen his skills!

Anyway, 424 cats were done over 2 days. Yeesh!!!

1. I would have like to see this

The cats sharpening their claws on him, THE ultimate portable scratching post. :evilgrin:

[joeybee12]

8. Unfortunately, he remained unscathed!

Or maybe fortunately...as long as he helps, we'll give him a pass.

2. Good for Jon.

Maybe disgrace will be the making of him.

I have nothing against redemption.

[joeybee12]

9. Yeah, we'll take any help we can get...

regardless of political affiliation...although it does seem as if we're mainly Dems there...

[Lucinda]

21. +1

3. Sharpen is certainly the appropriate word, lol!

I hope the cats he worked on had plenty of anesthesia...:scared:

[joeybee12]

10. He was able to leave on his own...

so apparently he didn't get clawed...it's those of us on the front lines getting the scratches...by the time the vets get them they're out cold!

4. I like this! Never knew that there were groups that did this... Great work. n/t

14. Most no-kill shelters have these on a regular basis

We foster strays and ferals and have been to a number of them. They are cheap to free and most of the local vets participate at one time or another.

A vast majority of vets really do love animals and don't want to see them suffer from overpopulation.

If you have a critter that needs "fixing" check into the local no-kill shelter for dates and rates. Ours is part of the SNIP - Spay Neuter Incentive Program

We have these quite often for dog's & cat's here in Tucson, AZ
I had 2 of my female's both done for free, a great service indeed!

5. Good for him. Good for Vegas. Great for cats!

[dkf]

6. That is nice of him.

He just jumped a notch from below the swamp.

[randome]

7. Eric Cantor?

With John Boehner on a leash?

[Gregorian]

11. Bill Frist?

Yay. I was the one who caught the feral cat in my neigborhood, and had her spayed. Poor thing. But not before she gave me two of my best friends ever in the whole world. I wish they were still with me.

[Justitia]

12. Credit where credit is due. Good for him, good for the kitties. -eom

[kestrel91316]

13. I wouldn't hire him to clean cages and mop floors at MY cat hospital, lol.

He's an overentitled 1%er (Daddy's money) and a dishonest person.

It wouldn't surprise me if he reused spay packs on the cats.

I taught him everything he learned (and has since forgotten) about veterinary microbiology lab techniques. He was a brown-noser.

[malaise]

17. I was looking for you on this thread

:hi:

[Mimosa]

16. Good on Ensign!

Do they also 'snip' a tiny corner of the cats ear to show it has been fixed? One of my kittehs -a street rescue- had a snipped ear which signaled he had been neutered.

[sandyj999]

18. All About Animals in a suburb of Detroit did 139 spay/neuters and built 40 shelters. In one day!

It's so heartwarming when people really care. I have a young mom and her three babies that will be going and then they will come back here to live their lives. The mom and two of the babies allow me to pet them now.

19. Good for him. When the wicked make good everyone wins.

[Liberal_in_LA]

20. glad he helped some cats!

[msanthrope]

22. Would that make him the Anti-Frist? nt

[renate]

23. hey! that was really funny!

:thumbsup:

[msanthrope]

24. Thank you! nt

25. I can't stand the man and I hate having to think...

"good for you" in relation to any of his actions......ugh
