Animal mistreatment has forever got to me. It seems like it is becoming worse, at least where I live. But there are still sweet souls out there who feel like I do that we must take care of them. I hope the legal system will match up with our means of thinking about this. It is still processed as a relatively small crime. That’s wrong.
We just took on in another rescue cat from the local shelter last week. I will never be able to understand how anyone could abandon or worse leave out a cat. A good deal of people suppose that cats can stand for themselves since they are predators. They are damn autonomous and solid little critters, but once a cat has been tamed it not only loses its power to live in the wild, but the person who took the cat in has a responsibility to care for it. It really saddens me to acknowledge that anyone could abandon a cat. That is why I attempt to aid as best I can by taking in rescue cats.
Can someone tell me how to know when you update the information on your website? I don’t want to have to remember to come back all the time. Someone said something about a feed? I don’t know what that is. Thank You
I adore your website very much. Will bookmark. Keep up to great work on it. Gracias
