I believe abuse and neglect go hand in hand. I believe if they are cold, hungry, dirty, outside, with fleas and I did pick a tick off the smaller one today, and at risk of being hurt, unneutered and unmanaged, then that constitutes abuse. PLUS all the other cats that are being put at risk. But that is my opinion.
I can provide a warm place to sleep, food to eat, shots and revolution for the fleas/ticks, and some vet care (combo test, shots and neutering). I know that I can not keep them forever, but I would like to rehome them into a loving furrever home, with guardians that truly care about their wellbeing. I just feel guilty.
I agree with the misery continuing, that is why I want to call animal control AFTER I can get the less feral ones. (but that still will break my heart for the beautiful cats that will be PTS because of HER neglect )
