Man Is Providing Cats For The Homeless
Achmed Greenspoon loves cats, and has a genuine feeling of compassion for the homeless – whether they be feline or human. Hoping to cash in on the “dot com boom”, Greenspoon has started collecting homeless cats and giving them to homeless people.
He has set up a web page at catsforthehomeless.org to solicit contributions. Recently, Achmed and several volunteers showed up at the Galveston Salvation Army with a giant canvass bag filled with cats – which were passed out as Christmas gifts to a group of homeless people.
“Don’t say I never gave you anything” he shouted, as he tossed each of them a tomcat or tabby.
Greenspoon finds most of his cats in San Leon, where cats reportedly outnumber insects by a 10:1 ratio. “Cats provide warmth and companionship to homeless people. They are able to find their own food sources when necessary,” he told Gator Press reporter Patty Jo Money, “and in case of emergency, they do provide an excellent food source.”
Greenspoon carries 15-20 cats with him wherever he goes. “I call them my Elite Presidential Guard” he says.
Achmed Greenspoon brings homeless animals and homeless humans together.
