It was nice reading you, despite your imminent demise, or maybe because of it? A morbid pleasure?
Thank you and your family for taking on rescues instead of buying and fueling the market for a bitter kind of exploitation. Just on Thursday a dude that builds little figures out of empty beer cans (to finance the full ones) offered me a cat. But we already have 1 that we take care of, and 4 more that come to eat (and fight and the other f, trying to catch them to neuter). So, each adopted cat feels like a little win.
I have always adopted cats. I can't stand that trade in pedigree kittens and the like when there are so many cats needing homes!
Sounds like you are doing good work!!
