Purrs 4 Peace- Week 16: Thank You

For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.
--Pythagoras


In this week of purring to end the sickening pound seizure practice that renders shelters unsafe, I would like to recognize a Purrs4Peace supporter that takes a genuine stand in protecting the helpless. The Funny Farm is located in Wilkes County, Northeast Georgia, and is owned by Colleen and John Palladini. The Funny Farm is home to 94 animals including 59 free-roaming rescue cats as part of PALS animal rescue. At least half of these were rescued from high kill shelters. They have a large inside enclosed area and a smaller, 300 sq. ft. outside enclosed area. All rescue cats have had their shots and are spayed and neutered. Pictured is Daisy aka Fuzzeenabean, a little tomboy. The Funny Farm is presently raising money to fence an acre of land and establish a cat sanctuary to accommodate more rescues. Confucius Cat salutes these wonderful people and their important mission. Blessing to you and your innocent little charges. In honor of this week’s purrs Confucius Cat’s mummy has pledged to make a donation.

You can find them on the web at www.gafunnyfarm.org or on twitter @gafunnyfarm


Thank you to every purrticipant. It has been impossible to keep track of everyone purrticipating from week to week. Therefore, I am including all those who have assisted with this project and will add newcomers from week to week. Thank you one and all!

Confucius, if you already have plans for this week, possibly you could as us to purr for all of the animals that have, or are, losing life, family and home as a result of the Samoan Islands.
