Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2005Help Dr. LeGallais
Contact info for Dr. Bruce LeGallais: Eastwood Animal Clinic, Dr. Bruce LeGallais Email: catamnt662@adelphia.net Phone: 802-773-7711 Message from Dr. Bruce LeGallais My name is Dr. Bruce LeGallais. I am a veterinarian working in a small animal practice in Central Vermont. A client of mine, 4 or 5 years ago, attempted to become an exotic cat breeder (specifically Bengals and Abyssinians). Unfortunately she has bred a great number of cats but was unable to part with any of the litters. As a consequence she has become a hoarder and potentially has 100 to 150 cats in her house. Although this woman is very nice she obviously has some problems and is finally seeking some medical treatment. Therefore she can no longer care for her cats. The humane societies in Vermont are at full capacity at this time and no one can seem to help out with this problem. I am volunteering my time and resources to help find her cats homes. If not, they will all have to be euthanized. I personally will be going into the house to select out the healthy individuals and make sure they are up to date on their vaccines. This is a very unfortunate situation but hopefully with some good will some of these cats can be adopted out to good and loving homes. The house they are currently living in has been condemned by the Dept. of Health. In conclusion, I am seeking help in finding an alternative to euthanizing young, healthy cats of an unfortunate circumstance. If anyone is interested or can help me find homes please e-mail me back at catamnt662@adelphia.net Thank-you for your time and consideration, Dr. Bruce Eastwood Animal Clinic, Dr. Bruce LeGallais Email: catamnt662@adelphia.net Phone: 802-773-7711 I'd love to help, however I'm in Ohio and my wife and I are feeding the local strays along with our 6. An idea though, what about Cause For Paws? Cats or dogs are taught to be an aid to a disabled individual and if he or she is smart does the same for the cat. It might be a local program, I'm not sure of that. It's some help though.

In these situations, local animal control agencies usually take control - no matter how full the local shelters are, they're the ones that get the animals if there's any kind of lawsuit going up against this woman. Contact them as well and offer your services if you haven't already. Contact local vets and shelters in the surrounding area (even nearby states)- even if they can only take 2 cats each, that's something. They can also contact any breed rescues within their respective states, or the shelters can look into their own foster families. Check with your clients - would any of them be willing to house some of these cats temporarily? > I am volunteering my time and resources to help find her cats homes.

Around here cat shelters won't take them. They will contact one of the local zoos, the states department of animal control, or some other state agency. They will also contact local law enforcement officials since around here they are illegal to own. A number of people have been arrested for owning them. >> This is a very unfortunate situation but hopefully with some good will >> some of these cats can be adopted out to good and loving homes.

Around you can't adopt them legally, so they may still be Where the property has been condemned you can bet the rent the cats will be put to sleep, ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com > They will also contact >local law enforcement officials since around here they are >illegal to own. A number of people have been arrested for >owning them. Since when are Bengals, Abyssinians or even Ocicats illegal? They are CFA standard breeds. Signature-john wide-open at throttle dot info All your suggestions have already been done. So lets see if i have this right, this person who calls thesmelves "Tax Me To Death" wants to tax us to death to pay for this person who has ilelgal cats. Around here a person was arrested when they had a number of illegal bengal cats in an apartment building. Someone got attacked by the bengal, got injured, the authorities were alerted, the bengals were removed and the person was arrested after hospitalization. Around here exotic cats like these are illegal. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com I suggest you know what you are talking about before you post your nonsense. Obviously you don't know squat about felines. These are DOMESTIC breeds. Look the breeds up on the internet and do some research before you start babbling about a subject you know nothing about. I wish all veterinarians were as kind as Dr. LeGallais and for you to bash this Dr. and accuse him of doing something illegal is appalling. >I suggest you know what you are talking about before you post your >nonsense.

But the fact still remains a the original poster (Tax Me To Death) is llooking for you to donate your moeny and efforts. Maybe a better handle would have been wise. http://www.capitalnews9.com/content/your_news/mohawk_valley/default.asp?ArID=143279 ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com Where in this post do you see a request for money or effort on your part??? >Message from Dr. Bruce LeGallais > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >house they are currently living in has been condemned by the Dept. of >Health. Either you are incapable of reading a post correctly or you are reading a post other than the one originally posted by Eastwood Animal Clinic.(above).... The Doctor needs help in finding homes for these cats..not someone trying to obstruct the process. Ray >>I suggest you know what you are talking about before you post your >>nonsense.

Time to go back to Dark Shadows and stop posting your B.S. ------------------- Sticky Buds <(~..~)> The Bengal Cat is not the same as a Bengal Tiger. You would NOT put a Bengal Cat in a Zoo,and I doubt one would attack anybody. They are no larger than domestic Cats. And no,they are not "taxing" you....they need HOMES for these Cats...not your money. I wish the good Doctor luck...I hope at least some of these exotic Cats (the Bengals are beautiful) find homes. By the way,for those of you that may be wondering,Eastwood Animal Clinic and Dr.Bruce LeGallais are legitimate.. I hope some of you in that area can help.

CATTS http://members.tripod.com/~thewebster/catts.html Home Page http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Labyrinth/9826/meshead.html Have you considered contacting your local and nearby Newspapers regarding this situation? Sort of like a "Special Interest" story. I have seen Houston Newspapers and TV stations run a piece sometimes involving animal shelters that were overcrowded,etc in an effort to help adoption efforts. Or to get adopted animals who's owner had died,etc...It would be worth a try?? I recently watched where they had hundreds of people wanting to give a home to a stray Mama cat that firefighters found after she had REPEATEDLY re-entered a burning building to bring her kittens out to safety...one-at-a-time...and suffering burns to herself in the process. People cannot adopt these cats if they don't know about them..
