THE BULTEMA'S

Dedicated to Max. My friend and companion for 15 years.

During a single human lifetime, several pet lifetimes may have passed through our own.
It seems that as we remember each pet that shared our lives, none have ever stayed with us quite long enough....

But certainly the world would change for that one cat".

PET OVERPOPULATION
There is a serious problem with overpopulation of strays in this country. Cats are being discarded and destroyed by the thousands every day. This is due in part to owners who do not spay or neuter their pet and end up with unwanted additions. We will be dedicating this website to these issues with the hope that we can help some of these animals find loving and happy homes. On this page you will find different links to help you find a source for any questions you might have about shelter cats and maybe even find a wonderful pet. Our friends at Crash's Landing helped us find Maude, Chuck, Ethan, and Skeet. Their bios are below. If you have any ideas or interesting links we can add to this site, please email us.

Animal Cruelty/Human Violence can be closely related. The Humane Society of the United States has introduced several new resources that can help you to recognize that pets in violent homes need a safe place to be just like other family members. The new resources include an online database of programs that provide temporary shelter for pets who come from violent situations, guidelines for establishing such programs, a promotional poster, results from a survey of domestic violence shelters, and the Report of Animal Cruelty Cases in America during 2003. If you are interested in helping to promote awareness of the connection between animal cruelty and family violence in your community, visit:
HSUS for more information.

Here is some valuable information on Feline First-Aid. Remember you should always get your pet to a vet in any emergency, but this will give some help on what to do until you can get your pet to proper medical treatment.
