    Finally, Something Good My Way!! YAY!!! UPDATE PAGE 2

    As many of you know, I do a lot of rescue work and have had some bad luck the last several months. I mean it is all worth it in the end, but WOW, stuff was pretty sour for a while!

    On Wed. of last week I was inspected by the Department of Agriculture for a Rescue License. I was approved. So now I am officailly an in-home rescue, til I get my 501c3 and a building that is! It is in the making and we should break ground by next May or so. We are very excited!!

    I just wanted to share my (finally) good news with all of you.

    WOW! CONGRATULATIONS! Such wonderful news! Rescues do such wonderful work! I wish that I could do some rescue work, but it is just not in the cards at the moment. I live in an apartment, and I have limited funds, AND I could never put 18 year old Tabby through other kitties in the house. She is too stressed out over having Sasha, and Sasha has been with us for almost 3 years now! :::sigh::::

    Maybe in another life!

    ANYWAY.... many, many congratulations to you and your wonderful work!
    Proud Meowmie of Sasha

    RIP sweet Tabitha, my heart kitty. You are loved and missed every day. 1988 - 2010

    That's great news, Tracy! Getting your 501(c)3 is the key, but it is costly and takes time ... I hope you have someone who can help get it done properly and quickly!

    Now for the stupid question...what is a 501c3? I'm assuming some sort of license but I'm probably wrong

    Trinityagain - 501(c)(3) is the section of the Internal Revenue Code which grants not-for-profit tax status to charitable - and other - organizaitons. It means the group does not pay taxes, AND donations to the charity are tax deductible, which makes fund raising much easier.

    Congratulations on obtaining the license, a big step. Hooray!

    Thank you everybody for your nice words. I am so excited. I think I have the 501c3 forms pretty much down path, now it is just a waiting game.

    YEAY, Reachoutrescue! Congratulations! I hope you get your 501C-3 (or however it's punctuated) soon! I volunteer to buy a brick for the RB kitties in my family. The athletic booster club at the high school in my district did a Buy a Brick fund-raiser for a new concession stand at the football field. That was my first experience with it. Here's another example, Habitat for Humanity... http://www.habitat.org/gvdc/buy_a_brick.aspx
    I Google searched "buy a brick" and in the first couple pages of results there were two different animal-related organizations, one in the US and one in England.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
