Rebecca, it is very clear that you love cats with all your heart and would do anything to help them. I just wanted to note that while Medusa wrote that she was turned down, shelter after shelter, she also said "That meant that I had to work even harder to find quality, permanent homes for the cats that I had rescued"
I've only been on here since July but the people posting on this particular thread who are upset and/or angry about the Tiger Ranch issue are also cat lovers. They are cat rescuers and also very passionate about it. I'm only pointing this out because this and the other thread about Tiger Ranch is getting quite heated.
I think everyone can agree that the care of the cats is what matters and that Lin Marie became overwhelmed to the point that some cats did not receive enough care and it fell apart. I think her heart was in the right place when she started but it's too much for one person. She needed to ask for help or to say no because each cat she took in meant that one already in her care was going to suffer.
I'm certainly glad that you are there for your cats and the ones that show up at your door. They need you. But at the same time, that is why I feel motivated to get some help your way because it's something that can spiral out of control so quickly as more and more litters are born. Your heart is obviously as big as Texas but your home and your budget may not be able to handle the increasing numbers of cats that will begin to appear.
I think Lin must have a big heart too but she needed more help.
