Karl the cat was picked up in August 2013, from Wallenberg park in Riverdale, by Julia Kalina and Marion Koenig. These 2 good Samaritans feed these cats that Gwen Jurmark adopts from Animal Care and Control. Ms. Jurmark then drops them off in cat colonys that she says are hers, in parks, narrow alleys, etc, where else,who knows? These poor cats, from having a roof in a shelter, are back in a Public Park, free to roam as strays, with no proof of annual examinations and vaccinations and most of all a warm home, with owners that know how they are doing , every day.
As a veterinarian, I had Julia Kalina complete Client and Patient Registration forms, and Julia paid for Karls, diagnosis and treatment for 3 days. Ms. Jurmark didnt even come to pick the cat up in 3 days, let alone bring this sad sick cat in and pay for its care and she says that she owns this ca !!!. Since Karl needed medication for 2 weeks, and Ms. Kalina couldnt take him home, she left Karl in the hospital and allowed me to keep him. Karl couldnt be kept at the hospital as he didnt like men and other patients. So he has a warm home now.
In court in December, Ms. Jurmark, after protesting in front of my hospital, getting her crew to write false accusations regarding me on the internet etc... HAD NO PROOF of ownership of Karl. She also had no documentation to prove that she had permission to create Unvaccinated for Rabies, Feline Leukemia, FVRCP cat colonies in Public Parks.
Fortunately for me, I am now aware of Rescuers like this woman in Riverdale. I wish her the best in finding homes for every one of the cats she has Rescued from Shelters. Dumping them in Wet, Freezing Parks is a foolish thing to do, in New York city in the year 2013.
Protesting, is useful if there is an honest platform, one can stand on. However posting erroneos information about me, that is vile and repugnant only shows the kind of sweet hard working at her craft, woman rescuer this human being is.
Happy Holidays,

I have a friend who cares for feral cats in the parking lot of her apartment building. She feeds them but cannot take them in because she is highly allergic. My brother is a veterinarian and he supplies her with antibiotics for them when they are obviously wounded and sick. Neither one of these people are going to commit suicide over these cats or the bill for the meds.
