A new video (link below) from Felix showing some of the cats – plus other ‘cat’ video links –
Autumn Rhyhtm cats
Figaro’s feeling much better after just two days of medical treatment.
His body temperature has returned to normal, he’s got a healthy appetite and he behaves like he always has, half playful and sweet, half grumpy. If he stays this way, his leg surgery and neutering will finally be done next week.
Hopefully he’ll recover smoothly, without any additional problems; heaven knows he’s had enough of those already.

British charity saves the life of tiny orangutan left for dead in Borneo.
All photos – Standard and IAR.
A British animal charity has stepped in to help save the life of a baby orangutan who was left out in the sun to die in Borneo.
The baby ape was so lifeless when a team from East Sussex-based International Animal Rescue (IAR) reached him that at first they thought he was dead.
The tiny creature had been dumped and left for dead in a filthy urine-soaked cardboard box.
Lying with his arms folded across his chest, his grey flaking skin and lack of hair made him look corpse-like and “almost mummified”.
IAR officials said the baby, who they named Gito, was found in the village of Hamlet Giet in Simpang Hulu district, 105 miles from their orangutan rehabilitation base in West Borneo.
The baby oranguatan, who was dehydrated and malnourished after being fed entirely on condensed milk, was taken to the IAR clinic by motorbike in an arduous nine-hour journey.

IAR chief executive Alan Knight said: “It’s hard to stomach the shocking state Gito was in when we rescued him.
“Our team has seen a significant increase in the number of baby orangutans being kept as pets and some of them have only recently been taken from the wild.
“This is the result of the forest fires devastating Indonesia and leaving wild orangutans without food or shelter. Those that escape being burnt alive are left exposed and vulnerable, under threat of starving to death or being killed or captured by human beings.”
During a medical check, Gito was feverish, with stiff hands and feet.
He was found to be suffering from diarrhoea and from sarcoptic mange – a highly-contagious skin disease.
To help relieve him, coconut oil was massaged into Gito’s body to soothe and soften his itchy skin, and he was placed on a drip to help rehydrate him.
Mr Knight added: “Gito is in safe hands now and receiving expert treatment and care at our centre in Ketapang. But tragically there are many more like him in desperate need of our help.”
Forest fires in Ketapang Regency have triggered a rise in the number of orangutans being captured, and an urgent need for funding to help continue the IAR’s work, Mr Knight said.

Is it possible that no one out of the thousands of friends I have on Facebook is able to donate anything towards the cost of cat food? Do the kitties deserve to starve just because we are not screaming, wailing and pleading for help two times a day?
Should we talk about and maybe even consider closing the shelter and turning all of the cats back out into the streets, after years of heartily fighting for them and working way beyond our limits, as they are obviously totally unimportant to people and not even worth thinking about or saving? Is there anyone out there who really cares?
Without some sort of assistance soon, everything we’ve campaigned and fought so hard for here could quickly be lost. Even the smallest donations help, they add up and it’s better than nothing at all.
Please help if you can, even sharing our plight with others helps out, you never know who’s out there that would like to get involved and see these kitties remain safe and healthy in the only place that’s shown them caring and love.
You can donate through PayPal, our YouCaring fundraising page or our project on betterplace.org and please bear in mind that we sincerely appreciate all of the help we get, even when our thank you notes are late, which they usually are.
We are deeply grateful to all of our friends and donors who have been supporting our work so unselfishly for years now and all of us here genuinely thank each and every one of you for your unlimited kindness with every ounce of our beings! Read more on my blog:

ENGLISH
Dear all
The financial interest, ignorance, and corruption of the officials in Romania regarding animal rights and the constant abuse of animals make a real change almost impossible. Moreover, they completely ignore a more humane and comprehensive approach to the management of stray dogs. Therefore, our appeals to EU institutions by asking them to put real and official pressure upon Romanian authorities in any way whatsoever are extremely important!
Ever since the beginning of summer I made several requests to the European Parliament for the opportunity to give a presentation and make EP (and other EU institutions) conscious of the reality in Romania (and in other Member States) regarding the stray animals. Finally, more than I had hoped, was obtained: a presentation about the Stray dog situation in Romania and a section for Stray dogs in Romania within the Intergroup on the Welfare & Conservation of Animals in the European Parliament.
Therefore, on 8th October, at European Parliament, in Strasbourg, I will present “Current Dog Management Practices in Romania. Towards a Sustainable and Humane Solution?” that will include:
-
The reality in the public dog shelters (versus the legal framework)
-
The stray dog business – inefficiency, corruption/actions of authorities responsible with the control and enforcing of animal legislation
-
Inefficiency of stray dog management by mass killing
-
The effects of Romanian legislative provisions on: Rabies control and the stray dog population
-
Animal abuses as a psychological stress factor
-
Call for EU control/interventions on Romanian officials for a humane, correct, and effective way of stray animal management
-
Call for European legislation for stray animal management that considers and reflects the social interest, ethical values and principles of the European civilization
On October 14th I will be able to inform you how the event was received!
In case you have special concerns regarding this issue, please feel free to send them to me until Thursday evening – as I am leaving Romania earlier because after October 3th I have some meetings in Germany, too.
Thank you!
All the best
Carmen ARSENE

Ihr Lieben,
Das fehlende Interesse, die Unwissenheit und die Korruption der offiziellen rumänischen Behörden in Sachen Tierschutz und die ständige Mishandlung von Tieren machen eine richtige Veränderung fast unmöglich. Dazu kommt, dass die Behörden eine mehr humane und umfassende Vorgehensweise in der Verwaltung der Streunerhunde total ignorieren. Aus dem Grund sind unsere ständigen Gesuche an Institutionen von der EU, auf jede mögliche Weise tatsächlichen und offiziellen Druck auf die rumänischen Behörden auszuüben, so wichtig!
Seit Anfang des Sommers habe ich das Europäische Parlament mehrmals um die Chance gebeten, einen Bericht zu geben und das EP (und andere EU Institutionen) auf die Realität in Rumänien (und anderen Mitgliedstaaten), was Streunerhunde angeht, aufmerksam zu machen. Und endlich wurde mehr erreicht, als ich erhofft hatte: eine Präsentation über die Lage der rumänischen Streunerhunde und eine Sektion für Streunerhunde in Rumänien in der Intergruppe für Wohlfart& Schutz von Tieren im Europäischen Parlament.
Deswegen werde ich am 8. Oktober, in Europäischen Parlament, in Strassburg “Der derzeitige Zustand der Verwaltung von Hunden in Rumänien. In Richtung auf eine nachhaltige und mehr humane Lösung?” präsentieren, wo Folgendes angesprochen wird:
-
Die Realität in den öffentlichen Sheltern (im Gegensatz zu den gesetzlichen Vorschriften)
-
Das Geschäft mit Streunerhunden – Inkompetenz, Korruption beeinflußt das Handeln der Behörden, die mit der Kontrolle und der Vollstreckung der Gesetze für Tiere beauftragt sind
-
Massentötung als inkompetente Methode zur Verwaltung der Streunerhunde
-
Die Auswirkungen der gesetzlichen Regelungen auf: Tollwutkontrolle und Bestand der Streunerhunde
-
Tierquälerei als Einfluß auf psychologische Belastung
-
Aufruf für Kontrolle und Eingriff von Seiten der EU auf rumänische Behörden für eine humane, korrekte und effektive Ausführung der Verwaltung von Streunerhunden
-
Aufruf an die europäische Gesetzgebung in Sachen Streunerhunde-Verwaltung, damit das soziale Interesse, ethische Werte und die Prinzipien der europäischen Kultur da einbegriffen und bewahrt werden
Am 14. Oktober kann ich euch mitteilen, wie die Veranstaltung empfangen wurde!
Falls jemand von euch ein besonderes Anliegen für dieses Thema hat, sendet es mir bitte bis Donnerstargabend – ich verlasse Rumänien schon früher, denn ich habe einige Termine in Deutschland nach dem 3. Oktober.
Vielen Dank!
Alles Gute,
Carmen ARSENE

Please keep the donations coming in – Thank You.
Ok , friends , I finally can think and realise was happening in last 24 hours .
Not only do you led me to believe again in miracles , you have gave opportunity to our dogs to live on safe . For me that is not small thing and forever we will be grateful for everything that you have done to us .
In total was collected : 2602 EUR . But that is not all ! Our dogs got sponsors , so now only 4 from 20 have no sponsor !
This is amazing, big relief for us and I must say again THANK YOU !
Next step for us is 5 titer test for dogs in boarding.
With 4 dogs who already have titer it will be 9 dogs who can travel to new life .
Soon I will post pictures of those dogs because they will need foster or forever home and I will ask you for one more favour – to share their stories . 🙂

VICTORY RESULT !!
UPDATE 23/9/15 – Target reached in 24 hours!!
Additional donations always welcome.
———————————–
Is there anyone out there who can help with a sugar daddy who can pay off this debt ?
Or, is anyone prepared to set up a donations site so that the money needed can be raised ? – urgent; by Monday or the dogs are on the street.
2,580 Euros. Otherwise a very difficult pill to swallow.
Read the story below.
Please read
This is not an appeal for help, I do not believe in miracles any more.
This is only information for you who have supported us for so long time. I think that you deserve to know.
After conversation with owner of boarding kennel today, and debt who has increase a lot, we are forced to move dogs who have no sponsor on the street.
We have deadline until the monday to pay all debt. That is not possible and we know that. Our total debt with debt for food is 2580 EURO.
For us that is big money and we have no way to pay that. We are facing with hard situation, dogs in boarding have no food, dogs in shelter have no food. In last 2 month we did not collect enough to they have food every day. And that is not rescuing.
With current situation and low chance to pay that debt we can not use boarding kennel space for free. It is one of the hardest option for us, we are aware that dogs will not survive on the street, but space in shelter for them we do not have. New boarding kennel is not an option because current debt we still have to pay.
Most of our dogs are not vaccinated, because there is no money for that. If we are not able to help them, maybe some of them will find luck on the street.
For us is already hard enough because we did not keep our promise to those dogs that they will be on safe forever, and that never will be hungry. Because they are hungry. And they will not be on safe.
We know that those dogs deserve chance and nice home, but nothing of that we are not able to give them.
We have tried, and failed and that hurt a lot. I am sorry.
BRILLIANT NEWS;
UPDATE 23/9/15 – Target reached in 24 hours!!
Additional donations always welcome.
