THE HATE NEVER LEAVES: AUGUST 2016 & 2015.
“Puffy Paws cares
for kitties with feline leukemia,
FIV, feral cats, unadoptable kitties,
one eye cats, senior kitties, kitties that
do not use their litter box,
abused kitties, cats with neurological
disorders, abused
kitties
and more - basically unwanted
and unadoptable
kitties that would be euthanized elsewhere.
Dawn Marie Bates-Buchanan,
Esq.
It took till Wednesday morning ( August 3rd,2016 ) for Animal Control to get back with the kitties lawyer. " The complaint
was that someone drove by and saw kitties in the window and thought it was a hoarder situation." WOW !! This
is the best that these evil souls can file to try to get us shut down and the cats taken away.
This is a evil community we live in. That have tried and are still trying to destroy us, still to this day because we are pure
of heart and there is so much evil, in rescue locally that they can not stand for what we stand
for.
Here is the true nature of rescue in Englewood Florida supported by the local media. * Criminal conviction on current shelter Director of
We live life to the fullest here at Puffy Paws. Chrissy and I are still in love with each other and our love for each
other grows, each and everyday, we have true love in our heart for all creatures great and small.
We know the meaning of the word sacrifice, hard work and we have fire in our soul ,that burns each and every day that is
the fuel, to give the 2nd chance kitties the best life they ever had ,thanks to the kitty lovers of the world.,we give back
to our community each and every day. Yet they have been trying to shut us down for years because
they can never do what we do.
Before the Fall of 2009 times were good. We had over 350 adoptions in a very short amount of time
by hosting a Open House three times a week at the Haven. Inviting prefect strangers into our
home so the adoptable kitties may find a “Fur - Ever” home to qualifying applicants. 350 did. Rick was making a great name for Puffy Paws and raising funds in the community while at the same time, Rick could
not believe the high euthanasia rate of adoptable pets, corruption and the misappropriations of funds that were suppose
to go for the animals but instead went into high administrative cost and huge salaries by the other animal organizations
in the area. All protected by a good old boy network.
Rick spoke
out for the voiceless animals that could not With hard facts in hand all backed up by government documents.
Rick contacted the local newspaper , government agencies, wrote letters to the editors , that
were denied, But then when Rick aided in bringing the news of the alleged corruption to a Fort
Meyers TV station, payback was inevitable. Rick received a phone call 10 days before code enforcement came out to shut Puffy
Paws down, that the good old boy network was looking into calling code enforcement to shut the
Haven down. Not
caring if the cats lived or died. One phone call to code shut the Haven down. So now folks can not adopt straight
from the Haven. We can not have volunteers or visitors. In 2009, Sarasota Code Enforcement ban all adoptions,
surrenders, and volunteers to Englewood, Florida’s “World’s Greatest Cathouse,“ Puffy
Paws Kitty Haven. Bottom line Per Code Enforcement - You can not run a business from a residential home
- NO FOOT TRAFFIC.

THE OUTCOME OF ANOTHER FALSE COMPLAINT AUGUST 2016 In
August 2016, they tried to destroy the lives of the poor unwanted kitties that call Puffy Paws home, once again.
With passing
Sarasota County inspection from last year, hands down, we were informed that Animal control
closed the case on August 3rd. Yet on Monday August 8th, 2016, our lawyer informed us that Officer Lowe, They know who we are, they know the kitties
are well taken care of and they just need to come out to the Haven for a quick walk
through. This hateful phone call ended up with nothing for these evil people.
Believe your eyes, not your ears. Just like Animal Control did. We passed the 2015 and now the 2016 Inspections, hands down with
flying colors, activated by false complaints by the haters, naysayers, and evil doers of the Community. Folks who have been
misleading our community for years in their endeavors of animal rescue, have tried to shut
Puffy Paws Kitty Haven down. The Bottom Line Is: When Power, Money And Prestige is Involved Their Will
Always Be Evil Deeds. We will be in talks with Sarasota Animal Control to have a volunteer annual inspection of
Puffy Paws. Mad Kitty Love Goes out to the kitty lovers of the world for standing behind Puffy
Paws and keeping the doors open at a day at a time. Only
because of the kitty lovers of the world, standing behind us , is
the only way we can take care of the kitties under our care. You Know This, Animal Control Knows This and Animal Control saw
what they already know, once again.. Yet the evil people in our community will never know
this and experience the joys of Mad Kitty Love, as we all do.
When I was a child my father (R.I.P) taught me never to be a bully. Today I'm the defender and the voice for 200 Special needs kitties, that would
have been dead ,if we did not step in and let them into our hearts and home. These days I felt
like I took another brutal beating just like I did when I was a young man in the ring. Chrissy
and I have been through hell and back just to keep 200 sick kitties alive. Yet only by asking
for your help and asking for the strength above, We can never stop asking for your help. The love in our hearts is the driving force in everything that we do. Love is a very
powerful tool when it comes to fighting the good fight every single day of your life. Love trumps
Hate. Mad Kitty Love trumps all.
THE KINGSTONS ALLOWED ME INTO ALL AREAS OF THE PROPERTY.

NO FURTHER ACTION NEEDED. LC2732
