I agree seeing as many of us have rescues from the streets. The vast majority of mine were either feral kittens I trapped, or ones in danger of being dumped. I have a weakness for special needs animals, and as they are not easily adoptable...those became my 'keepers'. Healthy adoptable ones I send off for adoption at Petsmart, and some of the feral cats are TNR. Really the only animal I rescued from a shelter is my very special and much loved Kirby. He was in the backroom at a kill shelter waiting with his 3 littermates for the vet to examine them. I spotted Kirby & his lovely white sister and told the staff I really wanted them, only to be looked at like I was nuts! One worker said "why do you want a deformed kitten when so many healthy ones are put down"? I told her nobody else would want them, and I already had my dear rescued RB boy Willy at the time also with "radial aplasia". I got a call a few days later asking if I still wanted Kirby. The vet (who is my vet as well) had looked the kittens over, and put in a good word for me, and Kirby became my little prince. Sadly his sister was put down as she had a runny eye. I would have taken her in a heartbeat as well. Kirby has been very healthy, and has crash pads all over the bedroom to cushion his landings.
Who could kill this sweet faced love bug just because he's handicapped?
