Yeah, it really tears me up - probably why I bend the rules every once in awhile. Most of us do, and that is probably what keeps us sane. Last night I saw one of the guys leaving with what looked like an outbreak of tumors under his shirt. A few minutes later I realized the litter of 5 that had fallen just shy of the accepted weight requirement were missing. I'm expecting him to show up in a few weeks with a litter of 5 kittens 'found in his barn' or somesuch - all of whom will easily make the weight & health requirements.
Besides the cat and kitten, my own 'dumpster diving' has brought me Roland, the light of my life. He is missing an eye and has a chronic snort, which put him into the 'unadoptable' category. The world's loss is my gain, even on those mornings I wake up unable to walk because 10 pounds of Roland has just spent 8 hours curled up on the small of my back.
