I would like to share my experience with you and would like to know what your opinion is with saving abandoned kittens.
I saved my little Jack right after birth, and he didnt adjust well to the kitten replacement milk and became very constipated at 5 days old. I took him to the vet and while I was waiting for them to give him an enema, a worker brought me some papers to read. These papers were all about why it is inhumane and cruel to save abandoned kittens and it's best to leave them to die. They explained how without the mother cat to discipline the kitten and teach it certain behavior standards it would most certainly grow into a unrulely adult cat with terrible social problems. They would begin to attack the people around it and would not know when to quit with biting and mood swings.

They vet asked me if I understood what the papers meant, and more or less scolded me for saving Jack when I should have left him and not looked back. This was very upsetting and I was so angry that they actually had the nerve to tell me I was in the wrong!

Since then I have have come across and read several articles that have said the exact same thing. I'm sure this is true for the few kittens that dont receive the care and total love they should be getting when rescued. I'm thank every day for Jack and all the other kittens that have turned out to be loving, affectionate, and well adjusted. As I'm sure many other kittenmoms are!

I could never just look the other way and leave a crying kitten to die, no matter what the outcome is.

And please, I am sorry if I have offended anyone with my thoughts on this, it just has hit a soft spot with me, and I've been angry over it for along time.

Thanks for listening to my ranting on this!
