How about we pledge to help anyone that takes in animals and needs help. Lin Marie never meant to abuse animals, although it looks that way. She needed help. Every one on this board has helped me. I am a woman with 7 adult cats and 4 kittens. People on the board contributed to help me get my cats spayed and neutred. I had five pregnant cats at the same time. I believe that Lin Marie was given so many cats that she lost control. Her heart was good. Let's all try to help anyone that is overwhelmed with cats. That should be our biggest lesson of all.
