I understand what you mean. Each time a new cat arrives to the shelter where I help, I ask where the kitty comes from and why he is here...each time I get angry! The reasons are always so stupid!

On the other hand I also see nice "fairy tales" and well ending stories. For example last week, a 8-year old kitty who had a hard life so far (she was very skinny, full of parasites, pregnant as every year, and belonged to a guy that could not take care of her) was adopted by a woman. I always thought it would be hard to find her a home because people are usually not interested in adult cats, so when I new that I was so happy! And the nice thing is that this woman adopted the cat for her mother who is 93 years old and has to go living in a house for old people. She was allowed to bring an animal if she already had it before she arrives, but unfortunately her 13-year old cat unexpectedly died! So the daughter tried to find very quickly a new cat so that nobody notices it's not the same cat ! And Minnie was adopted! She loves napping on people's lap, so I guess she will now be a lap cat for an old lady, being loved, fed and pet all day long. What a dream for Minnie! And the daughter said that we should not worry if her mother deceases, she will continue taking care of Minnie, as she would have done for the 13-year old cat! Happy end!

It's a pity we live far from each other because Minnie has a daughter (4-years old) who was rescued in the same time. She is very sweet and would also have a perfect life with an old person
