It’s finally the beginning of the end for the horrific cat hell known as “Caboodle Ranch, Inc.”—a disgusting, crowded, disease-ridden no-kill “rescue sanctuary” in Madison County, Fla.—that has long been the subject of complaints to PETA’s office.
Today, thanks to evidence gathered by a five-month PETA undercover investigation, the cats are being seized and taken to safety.
Video footage and photos taken by PETA’s investigator show cats suffering from upper-respiratory infections so severe that they drooled, had bloody mucus clogging their noses, and gasped for air, struggling to breathe. Cats also had ruptured corneas, went blind, and, in some cases, died. One such cat, Lilly, died after fighting for months, losing her battle with what initially seemed to be a simple cold.
This investigation comes at a critical time for homeless and unwanted animals in Florida. A dangerous bill is currently making its way through Florida’s legislature. Animal shelters would be forced to hand over animals to self-proclaimed, unregulated “animal rescues” like Caboodle if the misleading “Animal Rescue Act” (H.B. 597 and S.B. 818) becomes law.
Please ask the bill’s sponsors to withdraw the legislation without delay.
Never be silent.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
