Drugs are Bad mmmkay… 17 Cats found in Drug House… Help!
February 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
17 cats — including moms and kittens were found abandoned at an alleged former drug house in Limestone County, Alabama. Volunteers are looking for anyone that can help foster or adopt these kitties or even make a small donation to help cover vet bills.
The foundlings include three kittens as well as juvenile and adult cats, including pregnant females that will soon give birth.
“They are quite pretty, friendly cats that need some care,” said Linda Hickam, a volunteer with Forgotten Felines of Huntsville.
“The intent is to save them all, but we’ll need folks to step up to do that,” Hickam said. “We are networking with the hopes of other animal-rescue groups sharing the load. Obviously, the quicker we get them out of the home, the better off they’ll be. Anyone who could donate any amount — $5 to $10— would be helping,” Hickam said… “No amount is too small.”
You can make donations through PayPal or you can mail a check to:

Human Hero Donna Leetz

Donna Leetz moved into a home in Elgin in 2003 and found herself in neck deep in feral cats! Rather than see this as a problem she took it as an opportunity to keep the local feral cat population in check. She volunteers about 25 hours each week trapping cats to spay or neuter them and then releases them back to their lives. “I’m not a licensed shelter and I’m not a licensed rescue,” Leetz said. “I’m just somebody trying to help.”
Leetz sets humane live traps where she places food inside during a normal feeding time and then waits for the animals to walk in.
She has helped out in situations where people have more than 50 cats in a single residence and regularly works at a smaller scale.
She continues to feed about a dozen of the wild cats on her property and fosters another 12 to 15 of the felines for Cinderella’s Hope, a nonprofit organization in West Dundee that helps with cat adoptions and spaying and neutering of both friendly and feral cats.
Leetz said she doesn’t know how long she’ll keep it up — probably until she goes broke, she said dryly.
“I don’t have a goal, but as long as I can help the animals I will continue to help the animals,” Leetz said.
Thank you Donna, from silly kitties everywhere!
