What a heartbreaker of a story that is!! But it's so true. I gave up animal rescue after moving back to Connecticut. But since I now have more time on my hands, being semi-retired, I've signed up to volunteer with Catales, a non-profit cat rescue that I had originally joined over 10 years ago. It breaks my heart to see any animals in cages. But Deb Bagley's organization is one that I am truly dedicated to. She taught me everything I know about TNR, socializing feral and semi-feral cats. She has over 88 cats in her basement and you'd never now it. Except when the cats come out of everywhere to see you and schmooze. The only cats that are in cages are the FeLv/Aids positive cats. But they too get alot of love from our wonderful volunteers.

I think you should copy the post, Cathy, and frame it, putting it in a place where everyone can see it.

Thanks for sharing!!
