Links
Some worthwhile links - mainly about cats. Links to Other Cat Enclosures - my collection of inspiring links to other solutions.
Fight declawing! In Denmark like in most of Europe
declawing is illegal. In case you didn't know, declawing
means surgically removing the the claws and the outer joints of
the toes. Imagine having your own fingertips cut off. An
estimated 45% of American household cats are subject to this
cruel mistreatment - either because their owners care more for
their furniture than for their cats, or because greedy vets
(contrary to their own ethical rules) talk them into having a
combined package of vaccination, neutering/spaying and declawing.

On The Animal Rescue Site you'll find a
button, where you can donate food and care for animals in
need for free. All is paid for by the advertizers of the
site depending on the number of clicks. Feel free to copy this
link to your own homepage.
The British Pictures of Cat site
is a favourite of mine. From a site mainly for showing some great
cat pictures it has developed into a resource of knowledge
covering all aspects of cat life. It's creator Michael
Broad puts tireless efforts into writing most of the factual
articles, but the site also relies heavily on the written
contributions and comments of it's many regulars. The site
generates some money from Google advertising, which Michael
passes on to cat charities all over the World.
Major Danish forum - in Danish. Nice place where those hit by the
cat craze share their love of cats - with and without pedigree
papers.
SOCK FIP (Save Our Cats
and Kittens from Feline Infectious Peritonitis) is a volunteer
organization run by people who have had personal experiences with
this terrible disease. It is a group of cat lovers, breeders,
rescue groups, veterinarians and geneticists who are working
together to support research on FIP at the UC Davis Center for
Companion Animal Health.
Dr. Diane D. Addie is a veterinay
surgeon and virologist at the University of Glasgow, who for 22
years as been researching feline infectious peritonitis
(FIP). Her website exists to promote knowledge, to give the
latest news on FIP treatment and prevention and to raise funds
for much needed research.
The mission of the Orion
Foundation is to take up the fight against feline
infectious peritonitis (FIP). The foundation seek to
establish and fund research, encourage and engage in discussion
and offer comfort to those who suffer losses due to the disease.
Also the Moggies.co.uk website features an interesting
interview, where Dr. Diane D. Addie talks about The Fight Against
The Most Deadly Cat Killer (FIP).
A runaway or hurt cat can often be identified by a microchip or earmarking that has been submitted to a register. Although Denmark is a small country, one common register could not be agreed upon and so we have to search two different. Sigh...
Det Danske Katteregister was started by the
Danish vets in cooperation with a number of major animal welfare
and cat organizations. Registration is charged with DKK 110.
Dansk Katte-Register is run by the
'Inges Kattehjem' shelters. Registration is free.
Please make sure that your cat is marked and the number submitted
to your local register - before it runs away...
