C.C. is proof that we have to be careful when using the word "feral". Too often cats are found, who are just homeless because of uncaring humans, and deemed to be feral when they are not. Sometimes they are just scared, and they have reason to be considering they have been let down by humans. Kittens especially, being born under a step or a shed, are not really feral if caught early enough - they have not had to fend for themselves, their mommy has taken care of their needs. So people shouldn't be afraid to help these fur babies out - and being a volunteer of a few animal shelters, I know many cats that have been rescued from the streets have turned out to be very loving friends once shown they can trust in us again. ALOT of the shelter cats are from the streets. Hopefully many will have the good luck that C.C. did - after all, they deserve it.





Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
