Why not just buy a warehouse? Other people are already warehousing many KittyKind cats. The ASPCA, CACC, Humane Society, Bide A Wee and other organizations know when to say "we just don't have any room right now". That is the responsible and reasonable thing to do vs. getting people to foster so many sick cats at one time that they include a variety of transferable health problems.
This is when KittyKind says, "we can't take him back right now - he's still sick".
This is how KK turns people into hoarders. See http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeyfg4f/kittycatfosterpitfalls.
Then a Marketing Plan has to be devised for how to get adoption events going for the Older cats, the Special Needs cats, the Shy, Feral . . .
Another Marketing Plan to make people want to participate in bottle feeding Kittens. Any education going with that package? How to hold the kitten and why, what kittens that young need to survive, what to expect of kittens that will not survive? What to know about distemper (KK calls it Fading Kitten Syndrome) - the emotional downside of medically unrecoverable kittens and cats.
Is there a numbers race going on for the adoption group with the most cats waiting to be adopted for the longest period of time?
Oh, going back to the warehousing issue: How many are warehoused that are totally not adoptable because you know they have FIP; FELK; FIV or some other condition that KK doesn't have a Marketing Plan for.
Stay Awake People - Don't get emotionally blackmailed into becoming a KK warehouse of poorly tended KK cats just so KK can get an intake fee and later an adoption fee while you actually do the rescue work and end up keeping cats you never planned to adopt.
