Katie's Place is a cat shelter in Maple
Ridge B.C. started by a

(SANS). Katie's
Place is a converted barn whose original resident was
Katie the cat. The
use of Katie's barn was kindly donated by her family.
Katie's Place has
been in operation since January 2001 and houses up to
60 cats. There are
separate areas for the FeLV/FIV+ cats and for the regular
gang. There
are smaller enclosures for new or recuperating cats. More
than 200 cats
have been rescued and adopted out within the last year
and a half.
Katie's Place is no-kill, as is it's parent organization,

Note: Some of these below links
will stun and amaze you when you test your
computer for its security.Not to worry though, it is better
that you know what
information your computer is sending out when you visit
a site.These a list of
crucial sites that I (the webmaster) have collected over
the years and ones in which
I use all the time.I am passing them on so you can utilize
them on your machines
to protect your own privacy and security.
I have also included links to SpyWare detectors and Firewalls
that I think are useful.
If you have any other sites that you think should be included
in this list, please
email them to me and I will post them to the list.
Also, all the software I have linked you to is either
free or has a try vefore you buy
policy. But free for the majority of them.

Symantec Norton Antivirus
I personally use this product and have found it has caught
all virus attacks made on my computer.
Great email scanning as well and it has a 30 day free

Some say this is even better than the above mentioned
Ad-Aware. I have tried both and agree.
But I think they are both extremely good products and
are always kept up to date. Read a review
