Why Does EARS Have To Misled The Public........

Why does  EARS Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary have to be so disrespectful to all the other no-kills in the area by trying to misled the general public by saying that " EARS is the only No-Kill shelter in the area ".

When in fact that their are other no-kills in the area that they serve.

Puffy Paws is less than a mile from where they are.

People know what they write so their is no excuses for this once again EARS is not the only No-Kill shelter in the area, as the claim they are and as you shall see.

Check out the other No-kill shelters in the area The Pet Pages have a nice page dedicated to the animals’ rescues in the State of Florida and the surrounding local areas

Florida Pet Pages

Just to let you know we have been trying to work with the new EARS, to stop this type of behavior but as you can see it is to no avail by their recent facebook activities .

Check out their posting on their facebook page.

EARS is the only No-Kill shelter in the area. Please tell your friends to like us on Facebook. We survive on donations only and help this animals we need funds. Please contact EARS on Dearborn street to help. Donations can include: dog and cat food for our pet pantry, articles to be sold at our weekly yard sale held every Saturday at EARS.

Thank you

EARS is the only No-Kill shelter in the area"- Really ??????

Why are your trying to mislead the public, once again ?

You not the only the only no kill shelter in the area and you know this !!!!!!

Who is putting out this propaganda. once again ????

Deva you out right promised that your group will stop doing this.

You kept your promised when you changed your Web site and now this ?????????

I do not understand this at all !

On your Web site it states - EARS Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization that rescues, shelters, and cares for abandoned, abused, lost and stray dogs and cats until they are returned to their home, are adopted or reach the end of their natural lives. EARS is a "no-kill", care-for-life shelter aiding both cats and dogs in Englewood, Venice and Charlotte and Desoto County.

Please call me !

Puffy Paws Kitty Haven

Englewood, Florida’s “World’s Greatest Cathouse,“ Puffy Paws Kitty Haven is a 501(c) (3) non-profit, no-kill cat hospice and rescue specializing in providing quality and loving care to special needs cats and finding homes for the adoptable kitties under their care.

Puffy Paws has been aiding dogs in the Community since 2009 with their Pet Food Bank.

Puffy Paws is less than a mile away from EARS !!!!!!!

Did you forgot about St. Francis Animal Rescue of Venice Inc. St. Francis Animal Rescue is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit cage-less, no kill animal rescue adoption center and shelter that is volunteer driven. All of our support comes from private donations and grants - we receive no government funding. If you are interested in donating please visit us online at www.stfrancisarfl.org for more information.

They are 5 miles away from EARS up in Venice.
 

As you can see you are not - the only No-Kill shelter in the area.

Did your forget about the 100 cats that we took in because EARS said no over the years. When you said no - EARS gave them our phone number and Puffy Paws said YES. Just recently with the New Board - Deva called me and we took in two cats cause you could not. People know what they write so their is no excuses for this once again you are not the only No-Kill shelter in the area. This is becoming a real nightmare once again in dealing with the new EARS.

Why Do We Ask For Help ?

The question of the day is "Why Do We Ask For Help " The simplest answer is we could never take care of the kitties under our care without you.

If I ever stopped asking for help for the kitties, without funds we will have to close.

And mo...st of the kitties will be euthanized because they are Special Needs kitties and unadoptable.

Than everyone will say " Why did you not ask for help? " And if I said " I did not want to bother you all " You will say 'Rick What Are You crazy ? How could you let this happen. We would have helped but you did not ask us.

So I will never let this happen as long as I have a mouth and fingers to type. I will always ask for help for the kitties.

The kitties know in their hearts if you can help you do and if not they understand.

We are so grateful that the kitties have friends around the world to help the kitties out when they need it.

And for this we will always be grateful.

You will find us very transparent in all of dealing. We hide nothing. That is the reason why we have the World Wide support that we do. Our Web Site is loaded with articles, videos of our rich History.

Also check out our blog for more background history and the trails and tribulations of running Puffy Paws.

We made the FPL payment !!!

Only God can give me the strength to carry on.

This week I'm working on organization, in order to implement all of the necessaries activities I have to do as a one man band. Unfortunately for the kitties and I , Tarrah is no longer with Puffy Paws. So now I have to figure out how to ebay, run the Thrift Shop, update on all social medias, release Press Releases, live stream the kitties ,produce the pilot for the TV Show and raise the $10.000 a month it takes to run Puffy Paws. Such as life... Only God can give me the strength to carry on.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with showmanship !!!!!

Special Announcement & Confession Time: Since I have Tarrah on Team Puffy Paws. Production of the pilot of our reality TV show will begin shortly. We are sorting out all the video production equipment and story boarding the first show this week. 

So A few day back, I just did not like having  gray hair and I decided to color my hair and I got into Chrissy's hair dye, I thought it will dye my hair brown, ( I know dumb male ) and well now I'm a red head. Now here is my thinking should I keep it red and since, I love reinventing myself every now and than, (Rick "The King of Cats" Kingston ) and since I'm the boogie man of Englewood and everyone loves to talk about little old me and they way I have a hard time treating mean people, I'm thinking lets give them and the World something to remember me by . ( Think Don King -The Boxing Promoter  with his wild hair ) 

Maybe I should dye my hair.....blue or green or purple or pink.....or should I go back to plain or brown !!!!!!!!!  If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with showmanship  !!!!!  - It worked for me when I was the producer and host of Underground TV -a Lease Assess TV Show all about the Rochester Music Scene  back in the early 90's. I was TV pretty back than and now I have a face for radio...MOL

Gossip is what I eat for Breakfast !

My whole life I marched to a tune of a different drummer. I heard it all before. At least when folks are talking about me they are leaving some other poor bastard alone. I like it when I live in people heads rent free- I have always been honest in my actions and deeds. 

The good the bad and the ugly, I wear my skeletons in my closet on my sleeve. You know 100% were you stand with me. 

Maybe that why I love cats more than mean people.
  
The great thing about the age of internet I have left a electronic foot print since 2006 with Puffy Paws . Just Google Puffy Paws Kitty Haven and you see what I mean. Nothing to hide ! Our books are open to the public . 

Unfortunately we live in a small town and everything gets back to me and I mean everything, These people may not like me but the people around them do. I only hope that these  people will one day put the welfare of the animals in this community above my personality. And truly educate themselves about what we do at Puffy Paws by going to our Web Site, all of our social media pages and than give me a call to work out their issues with me, so  we all may be able to save more animals in this community.

The Apple Does Not Fall To Far From The Tree

 

 

Five years ago today my Dad or " Dee ", as I called him passed away. My father was always tough on me but with my wild spirit and I'm going to do what I want to do punk attitude, as I look back he had to. I have many of his qualities, the good, the bad and the ugly. He taught me to be honest above any thing else. He saved my life from a life of drinking and drugs. He made sure I got out of High School and got a Honorable discharge from the Army with his words of encouragement and wisdom.

He taught me to follow my dreams and never quit. He taught me not to be a doormat. Today I'm who I'm becasue of my father, He gave me alot. With his hard work as a foreman at DuPont, he was able to buy the Haven for Chrissy and I. with out him their will be no Puffy Paws.

He loved the kitties and the loved him. He knew he was going to die and he died with dignity and Honor. As he lie on his deathbed he awoke from a nap and look at me and said - " Why The Hell I'm Still Here ". Patience was not his virtue.He told me that that he never knew dying was going to such a beautiful experience.

My last words to him was 'Thank you D for a good life and true to form he last words to me was "You're Welcome...Boy ! Now get out of here before you miss your plane. The next morning he passed away in the Log Cabin home he loved.

When he passed away I was sleeping back in Florida and that night I had the most peaceful sleep I ever had. I woke up to the news that he was gone. From the moment on all the bad childhood feeling I had of my Father passed away that night with him. He was a good man and I was lucky that I had him as a Father.

If he ever want to know what my  Father was like just look into my eyes and you can catch glimpse of him in me ! Because my Father lives on in my words ,actions and deeds.
