Marigold and her Kittens

[phesina]

Is that wise, though, breeding Marigold like that? All kittens are completely beautiful!!! And surely there are already plenty of kittens and cats around for people who want them as farm cats for rodent control.

Here are 166 cats and kittens I just found near Windham VT:

Sadly, MILLIONS of kittens are born, cats killed because there aren't homes for them. Why not help find homes for ones already born, rather than add to the number?

Pat, you know I know that. Not for nothing we have had this site going for so many years, and I always have promoted spaying and neutering. People are, because of COVID, sticking close to home, even Brattleboro seems too farad too risky. Plus I am not the only one involved in this decision. And you and I know, not every cat is a good mouser! Marigold is - and trains her progeny impressively!

I know the statistics, and am always torn about this. But I am not the one(s) that need convincing.
