Kim, I am so sorry you are feeling this way. It hurts I am sure. I am also sorry I don't post more on threads. I have been here for 2 years now and I haven't even reached 1000 yet. I just don't have the time to post a lot. I don't even have time to read all the threads. But I understand where you are coming from.

I have always enjoyed your threads and admire what you do. I can barely keep up with the animals I have, my work, my husband and the small amount of rescue I do. I don't know how you fit so much in each and every day. But bless you for doing it because if it weren't for people like you the world would be a grayer place.

I also understand when you say you have to cut back on rescue and then end up taking in another one. Once it is in your blood and soul to be able to do something it is hard to be able to turn any of them away.

I hope that you don't stop posting and leave because it would truly be a loss. There are times I become very frustrated with threads here. I started a thread about a very desperate situation here in PA with 100 cats that had been abandoned in a home. I was a bit hurt and disconcerted when someone here in PA on this site that does a lot of rescue didn't even say....gee...good luck to me. But I shrugged it off because I am not friends truly with anyone on here and so I guess I can't expect people to jump and respond to my threads all the time either.

If people here are "shunning" your thread because of a decision you feel you have to make in your own life in order to maintain your own sanity or for whatever reason then that is truly their loss and not yours. I feel that PT people often do some truly wonderful things and really help some people out and I am always telling people that I meet offline about this site and how great it can be. However, I also feel at times it becomes rather "nose in the air and if it isn't my way it is wrong" too.

Ah well I am sure I have offended some people with my post but that is ok. I will get over it.
