July 18 -- Long Island, NY Rescue organization being shut down by the Town of Oyster Bay -- they need your help

7-20-14 Update from the organization:

I am going to address some of the many repeat questions I have seen but have not had time to individually answer.

1. We have a lawyer and we are working on getting back into this building. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees and there is a possibility we may never be able to go back with animals.

2. Please help by continuing and endlessly making phone calls to the town.

3. Adoptions adoptio...ns adoptions are needed at this time. Adoption fees are $100 or $125 depending.

4. If we knew why this building was an issue for the town we would have had this resolved already. Unfortunately, we don't know. With that in mind, we can't answer those questions for our supporters.

5. Our cats and kittens are safe! They are in foster in different locations. For the safety of the animals we will not be disclosing there whereabouts unless someone is interested in adopting a specific kitten.

6. At this time, until we are made aware what needs to be done to the building to bring it up to code there is nothing our supporters can do.

HELP! WE ARE BEING SHUT DOWN BY THE TOWN OF OYSTER BAY!

Yesterday, Joanne, Alicia and Carol (officers of AASN) met with Diana Aquiar, Deputy Commissioner of Planning and Development and her staff to resolve building permit issues. Ms. Aquiar informed us to continue normal operations and if for any reason they needed to close our doors, she would notify us in advance.

Today at 1PM, Ms.Aquiar sent code enforcement to STOP WORK IMMEDIATELY, CEASE OCCUPANCY IMMEDIATELY AND CEASE OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY.

Tomorrow, Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter will be removing ALL of our CATS & KITTENS and bringing them to their shelter, which DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO ACCOMODATE THEM. Did we mention that many of our cats and kittens rescued off of the streets came from the Town of Oyster Bay streets? DID WE ALSO MENTION THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE TOWN OF OYSTER BAY'S TRAP NEUTER RETURN PROGRAM OF FERAL CATS? WE ARE THE CONTRACTED TRAPPERS FOR THE TOWN FOR OVER 5 YEARS?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Our well cared for kittens and cats will be jammed into tiny cages, some which will be placed on the floor, to get sick and not cared for correctly by unconcerned town employees. Some of our cats and kittens may even be EUTHANIZED for space or medical reasons.
