ANONYMOUS CALLER CALLED SARASOTA COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT

Jan07116174.tmp/RATONPHONE.JPG

An anonymous caller called Sarasota County code enforcement in the hopes that they may get Puffy Paws Kitty Haven shut down.

Here at Puffy Paws we have no ill will towards Sarasota County Code enforcement. We know that are just doing their job .

Code has given us 30 day to come into compliance with their request that no business what so ever can be conducted at the home on  270 Lakeview Lane in Englewood.

The issues is not the kitties in the home, the issue is that Sarasota County has deemed us to be operating an business in a residential neighborhood

Starting October 28, 2009 all official business concerning Puffy Paws Kitty Haven has been moved outside the Kingston's home on Lakeview Lane.

The home on Lakeview Lane is actually were the Kingston's live with alot of kitties.

We can no longer have any type of donations dropped off at the home on Lakeview Lane.

All donations must be dropped off at the Donation & Storage Center .

All adoptions from now on will be at Mike's Pet Store and other places in the Community when we hold our Adoption Events.

All kitties that are schedule for adoption event will be staying at a Foster Familiy home. So that the foster may transport  them to and from the adoption event and bring them back to their Foster's home.

All surrenders of kitties will be held at Loving Care Animal Hospital.

We can no longer have any volunteers or Community Service personal at the home on Lakeview Lane.

But their is a great deal of other volunteer and Community Service positions available.

Their can be no traffic what so ever at the house on Lakeview Lane. 

If you need to conduct any business with Puffy Paws Kitty Haven , please call the new contact number at 941 - 623 - 8904.

We have a new P.O Box for any official business - It's -  P.O Box 955 - Englewood, FL 34295

We have been working hard on the Web site so that our site may reflect these new policy changes.

We do not know who the anonymous caller was but we sure will be keeping our *EARS open.

( See Story Below )

Who knows the direction we might be looking at is "North".

Thank you for supporting Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.

See No- Evil - Speak No - Evil - Hear No - Evil
See No-  Evil - Speak No -  Evil - Hear No - Evil

Its been a Roller Coaster ride from Hell over here at Puffy Paws.

As you know Code enforcement shut down the business aspect of Puffy Paws on Lakeview Lane.

They could not touch the kitties.

We are adjusting very well to those new changes, we have put into effect new rules and the way we operate so that we are in compliance.

Its hard and it does make life more difficult for us, especially on Chrissy but we are getting it done.

The kitties are safe and are being very well taken care of each and every day.
The still live with us in the home on Lakeview Lane and it will always be their " Haven " from the evils of this world !

This is the second time an evil person has tried to get us shut down and as soon as the rats called code,the County followed up right away and told us what we can and cannot do.

FOOL ME ONCE .........
 
Folk's I just want to know why this Community is the way it is?
 
Look at were the majority of the donation dollars goes to in this town and who the media supports.
 
The kitties feel if an EARS dog farted that will be front page news and not the fact, according to two government reports out of $310, 544 dollars, only $3,009 dollars went directly to the animals and another $300,000 dollars was allegedly embezzled.
 
So out of $610,000 only $3009.00 went to the animals ! Somebody should be wearing a nice orange jump suit very soon and the Board of Director should be ran out of town.
 
Now EARS has a new Executive Director, Dee Ann Roberts, so if and when she gets rid of their current Board of Directors nothing is going to really change. Is it ?
 
EARS spin machine will be hard at work with the help of the local media getting your hard earn dough
 
They will always be the local  - " Media Darlings ".
 
Of course the new folks in charge will be very sorry for what happen to almost a million dollars. But hey, lets try that again.
You can write the check out to EARS.........
 
For what ? The animals ?  Suckers ! No way , mark my words....Fund raising, administration cost and salaries will be getting the bulk of your donation dollars once again.
 
If you have not realize that EARS is about fund raising events,fancy parties,fine wine and food and getting their pictures in the newspaper than you are moron and you should donate to them.
 
Just look at their Web site and see all the pretty people dressed up to party on your donation buck even after they went broke  !
 
If you donate to them you deserve to lose your money like everyone did the first around time because no one did their homework !
 
The sad thing is this group of selfish people really hurt the animals and the people in this Community.This Community and the local media let this happen and it will happen again.
 
It will be business as usual with Puffy Paws in the background,doing the real work in helping the unwanted kitties of the community with no high dollar donations or glory.
 
Once again we will be getting the phone calls to take in people cats because EARS said " NO " !
 
And EARS will be getting all the glory and money and throwing wonderful parties and fund-raising events for their salaries for a foster base program. I never knew a foster base program needed so much money. Have you see any plans to build a Sanctuary,lately. But hey,I love those shoes and whats on Direct TV tonight ?
 
The kitties know that the local media will be sucking up to EARS once more and sponsoring their major events.
 
You will be giving them your hard earn dough thinking its for the animals but will you look were your money is really going to ?
 
Puffy Paws will be doing all the work for the unwanted kitties of the community once again.
 
If the " NEW EARS" really wants to get along with Puffy Paws, they might want to change their name of their Commercial Pet Store, like we been asking them to do. 
 
They never did and never will care about all the damage that it has caused us. If they do not change their name it will be

the same old , same old ! Everyday I will be telling some confused soul that we are not them. I will be watching their every step.
 
They can fool you but they will never fool us. A  leopard never changes his spots.
 
IF WE DID WHAT THEY DID !
 
Now what will happen if Puffy Paws Kitty Haven took in almost a million dollars from the Community and never did what we said we were going to do with the money ?
 
What happen if we spent it on ourselves instead of the kitties ?
 
Now what if we put down thousands of animals a year ?
 
Will you still supported us and give us another dime?
 
Hell No !
 
You would have closed us down and put us in prison.
 
But did you know this Community has given millions of dollars over the years to the leader of euthanasia of cats and dogs in the area.
 
Why don't you ask this group how many dogs and cats they kill each and every year when they start to brag about their other programs and accomplishments.
 
A puppy and or kitten that was put down really does not care about a " 4 Star Rating " !.  
 
Why don't they publish all those euthanasia numbers weekly and not just their adoption numbers ?
 
Just ask them to be honest.

We all have choices and they chosen to be in the business of death.
 
If they were not in the business of death than why do they have a huge commercial freezer for all the dead animals they put down.
 
Whats "Humane " about killing adoptable pets ?
 
Its one thing if you are humble and are very sorry when you are putting down other people pets but to have an air of arrogance. Wow !
 
I actually had a kind hearted senior in tears, telling me about the bad experiences that she had giving up her pets to this group, thinking that they will be adopted out with the donation she gave them and only finding out later they put them down.
 
I had children tell me "They Killed My Pet".

And you know what is sicker ?
 
This community supports them with over a million of dollars in donations.
 
The community and media looks the other way when it comes to to the killing of adoptable dogs and cats. Can you say " Ring Worm " ! 
 
Than their are many folks who think that they are "No-Kill ' Why is that !
 
From day one I was told that animal rescue was a cut throat business and other groups do not want us around because we are taking funds away from them.

We did not believe this.

So Chrissy and I went out to meet and greet the  " Animal Shelter's & Rescue Royalty ".

These folks who told us it was a back stabbing business were right.

Word got back to us that one of the "Kings" was tooting his horn and telling folks he had disdain for our collection bank which was next to his.

You know what is funny ? When you need to give up your cat.
 
Folks calls Puffy Paws Kitty Haven. These people do not want to gamble their cats life by taking them down to the Open Admission Shelter.
 
Do you know why they never turned away an animal ?
 
That’s because they have a killing machine set up, so that may do away with the unadoptable ones or when they do not have room they can put your pet down or the lucky ones makes it to the adoption floor and they stay their unless they get sick. 
 
Why do you think we said " Yes ", to take in the community's kittens, old cats and special need kitties, even when they came in with no donation - " TO KEEP THEM ALIVE AND OUT OF THE HANDS OF A COMMUNITY SUPPORTED DEATH MACHINE " . 
 
You see these Open Admission Shelter's wants us - "No - Kills" to  change our name to a Limit Admission Shelter.
 
Folk's I will make a deal, the day this group shows us one ounce of respect , stop trashing our banks and pays our bills and change their name to " A Community Supported Killing Machine " - Puffy Paws will stop saying who we are  -  "A No-Kill Cat Rescue ".
 
Here at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven we do not put down any animals for behavior problems, space or adopt-ability issues. Yet Puffy Paws Kitty Haven never has and never will let any kitty suffer with any medical condition that only allows pain & suffering and no chance of survival.
 
We realize that their is outside forces who believe that their is no such thing as  " No-Kill" .  
 
No Kill sheltering models, based on innovative, non-lethal programs and services, have already saved the lives of tens of thousands of animals. 
 
But instead of embracing No Kill, many shelters—and their national agency allies—cling to their failed models of the past, models that result in the killing of millions of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters every year.

Here at Puffy Paws Kitty Haven we wish not to be drawn into public controversy over our " No-Kill "statues, we only wish to save the lives of the unwanted kitties of the Community.
 
HUMANE.CC
 
So to promote our beliefs in " No-Kill ".

Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is fortunate to have secured the "humane.cc " domain name.

Currently the domain takes you to Puffy Paws Kitty Haven Web site but we are in the middle of creating a new site for what we consider " Humane " to be ,  in practicing our " No-Kill mission ".

 
CAN YOU EARS ME NOW !
 
What most folks found out this summer was that if they called EARS to take their cat.  EARS  told you "No" and gave out our number and we took the kitty in.
 
And when I called the media this summer and told them that EARS was not taking in cats but instead EARS gave our phone number out, I was treated like I had Swine Flu. 
 
EARS continues to be the " Media Darlings " even after according to two government reports out of 310, 544 dollars only 3,009 dollars went directly to the animals and another 300,000 dollars was allegedly embezzled.
 
Image that out of 610,00 dollars only 3,009 dollars went to the animals.
 
So I say to this community keep being a dumb donor and keep supporting your local killing machine and keep on paying for other folks to live high off the hog on your donation dollar
 
Or support Puffy Paws Kitty Haven, a real no-kill cat rescue, which is staffed by all volunteers.
 
Remember the other guys wants you to stay dumb so you may keep writing those checks to support the killing and paying those high salaries,administrative & fund raising costs  !
 
Here at Puffy Paws we know that some folks wants us to go away and the local government cooperated in a heart beat with these rats who called Code on us.
 
I just want to know why did it almost take a year for the County to get the two crack houses out of our neighborhood and us 24 hours. 
 
I guess its easier to close a Cathouse than a Crackhouse in South West Florida.
 
This little set back will not stop us. We are doing what we need to do for the unwanted kitties. And without your help this would not be possible and we thank each and everyone of you.  
 
So if you want your donation dollar going to the kitties and if you want to put your money were your heart is, just click on the blue button on our home page to donate.
 
Sincerely,Rick Kingston
